Very nice people. The food was fantastic, I loved the variety they have to choose from. I will definitely be going back.

Honestly it's quite pricey but that's everywhere now. Poke is super delicious. The workers are very quick too, excellent service.

My go to spot for high quality fresh Poke. The burrito option is my new favorite if love giant hand rolls! Service is always excellent no matter how busy it is. read more

This was my first time in the area since I moved from Irvine that I had a day off to explore and enjoy the day to myself and I was well met by the staff. I expressed that I wanted to get the large bowl with 5 scoops but I saw that they had a different selection of proteins. From the corner of my eye I saw crawfish and octopus so I was excited to try the selection and with the help of my server, he prepped and made my bowl to order with no substitutions and all the inclusions! I inquired if I could get some of the Loca sauce on the side and instead opted to put it on my protein along with the other sauces after trying it out and it was a very good choice! It was a fine balance of mild spice and flavor. Just watching the preparation was enough to make my mouth water! I took my first bite which included the crawfish and spicy octopus and thanked my server because it was a great recommendation and I live next to the Pokitomik but I agree Poke Bistro is well worth the minute drive! Since moving, I've been craving some Boiling Crab and the sauce really hit the craving. I didn't finish my bowl in store, but that's only so I could devour my delicious order in the privacy and comfort of home. They explained that they had a limited selection, but that's only because they have a steady amount of returning and happy customers! I will be returning soon! If you're looking for a friendly small-owned business with a peaceful setting, make sure to stop by and try out their options!(: read more

Poke Bistro - Large Bowl of Joy Tuna Spicy Octopus Crawfish Spicy Tuna Garlic Shrimp All the ingredients and toppings No subs, no dubs - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

Fresh items! Very generous on the toppings and accommodating to how you like it! I believe it's a change of ownership in the past year. They have now added a tipping system that wasn't implemented before so that's much appreciated as the employees always do an awesome job and are pleasant to speak to. read more

This may be my favorite poke place. The food is always fresh and generous. The staff is friendly and always patient and kind. It's so nice and clean inside. The vibe is great. Don't forget to support good local businesses like this one. read more

Service was quick, they were nice and took their time with our orders. Ambiance is alright, a small shop. Our table were dirty and sticky, had to wiped it down before sitting. Poke bistro is overpriced with their sizes of bowl. Food was alright, I have had better. Fishes were not as fresh. read more

While I'm reluctant to give five stars to a "fast" food place, this little poke spot in Riverside is a find. It's a SOLID 4, but the friendly service and clean restaurant seating deserves a stellar review. Great for a quick stop if you're driving through SoCal ! We will definitely return for a poke fix. We were too hungry to even take a pic of our large to-go bowl, but it was devoured in minutes. Here's a delectable creation: Hawaiian Salmon x2 Spicy tuna Octopus Salad and rice base Edamame Jalapeño Ginger Seaweed salad Seasame oil Creamy miso Ponzu Spicy mayo Topped with: Crunchy onion Furikake read more

Great place! After finding out out favorite poke bistro was closed. We found this location down the street. Place is super clean, great and friendly staff, the food portions are excellent. Definitely recommend Poke Bistro. read more

Poke Bistro got an upgrade! While their food has been good, they have introduced a new & improved menu. They recently just remodeled which gives the restaurant a brand new feel with a cleaner aesthetic. The employees are always welcoming, but the change in atmosphere definitely brightens their mood as well as mine! Can't wait to be back. read more

Decided to try this place out for lunch. Upon arrival place was empty at 1130. Got the 4 scoop bowl with all salad mix. Spicy octopus and spicy salmon. Food taste good. Only gripe is they use a small ice cream scoop so the protein scoops are small compared to other places ive been. Plenty of seating if dining in. read more

Poke bowl I've going here for a whole year, and it hasn't disappointed but today. I feel robbed! I paid $17.00 including a drink. In that year of going to eat here I have always been satisfied but today I can't believe the amount they gave me and when I asked is that the normal amount of veggies you give and tells me yes! Wtf! Ok, we'll I'm moving on. read more

Hearty portions - better poke than I had expected to find in Riverside. Good customer service

Used to be a local regular and you could tell the place has really gone downhill. To start, the fish does not taste as fresh as it used to be, the fish tasted extremely fishy. also portions used to be extremely good with bowls almost overflowing. my bowl was 1/2-3/4 full and i had paid $17 for a regular bowl. I did not get any additional toppings that costed extra like crabmeat. I will not be coming back to this establishment as prices are extremely high for mediocre bowls. read more

Poke Bistro - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

It was my first time at Poke Bistro! It is located in a small plaza where parking may be hectic during peak hours, but when I went the parking was not difficult at all. The employees were well protected with gloves and masks. I just recently started eating poke and it's still growing on me. My three choices were spicy salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna. The regular tuna was really good and flavorful! The sides I got were seaweed saad, avocado, spicy grab meat, edamame, ginger, cucumber, with seaweed on top, and ponzu sauce and sesame oil to top it off. I took away one star because my spicy tuna was a tad fishy. Other than that, I'd be willing to go back to this place and get another poke bowl, maybe all regular tuna cause I likes it a lot! Go check it out. read more

This place use to be so good. Lately they have these new employees that are suuuuper stingy with everything! Including the salad! If you go here you are basically paying $14-$15 for a bowl or rice and toppings. The picture is suppose to be 1 scoop of fish read more

Food was ok. Price was on the high side compared to other poke spots not to far. The portions are extremely small in comparison and sadly, the options for more is not financially friendly. Then again, maybe it's inflation ‍ Who knows! Lol. But the food was ok tasting, the fish tasted a little expired hence my 3 stars. But the staff was friendly to say the least, and was in the middle of training 2 new hires too. Sadly gloves were used sparingly and parking is ok. This is a harsh part of town, so keep in mind that this is probably a better quality spot in comparison to other food places near by. Anyways, overall I won't come back ever again, and I do hope they get better. I'm not here for the art, I'm here for food! read more

Poke Bistro - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

It's alright. The best thing is that it's pretty cheap compared to a lot of other poke places. The rice wasn't great, a mix of mushy and dry somehow... maybe just old? The fish was alright. There are a lot of customizing options with the sauces which I appreciated. Maybe it was an off day for them, but if the fish was better, I think I would really like this place. read more

You can tell the place is under new ownership as soon as you walk in the door. Feels more welcoming as the staff is actually smiling. In the past, I noticed customers would take their food to go, with hardly anyone eating inside (yes, pre pandemic too). Now I notice several people enjoying their meals at the tables, as a reflection of the positive atmosphere. Now to the food.......All the ingredients are much fresher with healthier portions. I catch my own tuna and yellowtail so I can recognize fresh fish:) The octopus was also amazing. They have all the typical options available at other Poke restaurants with similar pricing but they don't upcharge you for the tuna or yellowtail, like the competition. The salmon is good but now you can try something else and not worry about and extra $1-$2 charged at other places. Definitely the best value for Poke in the IE with the highest quality! read more

Fresh poke, stingy portions though even for sides. Customer service- meh. It was worth a shot though

This place is great! The quality of the fish is actually one of the best in Riverside. The portions are small, they're kind of stingy with their scoops but that makes sense since they use high quality ingredients. I usually have to get an extra scoop of crab meat because I need more! This poke place is a little on the expensive side- my bowl was $20 for a large w/ extra crab meat. read more

Poke Bistro - large salmon bowl - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

All I can say is "Wow!" I used to come here once a week 3 to 4 years ago because the serving size was decent. Now, the serving size is so tiny! The prices are outrageous for the small servings. If you take a look at the bowls / containers that they use, you'll notice that they're shallow which means you really can't put too much food in them and it appears that you get a lot, but you really don't. The size of the additional toppings that the two servers put was so small. The size of the scooper that they used for the proteins looked like a melon baller. Smaller than the size of a ping pong ball. Then at the end, they over used the seaweed on top to cover up the fact that the serving sizes of everything you select was small! I'd rather pay these prices at ANY other poke place then here! Sorry, I won't be back. read more

We need this place closer to home! We're in from the Islands so we know good poke! This place is a melody of goodness played on the ukulele. With flavors that hit with notes from da heavens above. Da staff was really nice too. So many sauce options, it took us awhile to order. I'm glad we decided on this place while traveling through. We will come again if we're ever in Riverside. Shoots bradduh. Aloha Nui Loa. read more

Expensive poke and kinda a rip off. I used to always come here because it's super good but they've increased prices like 2 times in the past 4 years. They increase the price but lower the portion... They're super stingy now with fish and even just condiments. Cant even ask for more because they charge for that as well. I recommend a different poke place. This used to be the best one in the area but now you pay $15 for a bowl that won't even fill your hunger. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. The mango habanero sauce is good. Food is decent but the service was not pleasant. It felt like we were being rushed to choose our options (they have a lot of options). And when my husband asked for extra edamame on a large bowl ($14.99) one of the workers said it would be an extra .50 cents. It felt very overpriced for the amount of food we got. Will not be returning. Customer service is everything even if food is overpriced. Sadly, this wasn't the case... Ps. My husband also found a fish bone in his salmon... yup. Not coming back read more

This is my go-to poke spot in Riverside. The Poké is always fresh and flavorful. Poke Bistro has soo many different flavors like spicy crab, tuna luau and spicy salmon. I recommend getting the spicy crab instead of the regular crab if you haven't tried it yet. The Poké burritos are really good too! read more

Poke Bistro - 3-Scoop Poke Bowl (Spicy Tuna, Shrimp, Spicy Tuna) - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

Venturing out to try different poke places. Figured would try this one since reviews were good. Poke is okay, some a bit fishy but not too bad. Would have given 4 stars but I found a hair in the bowl so did not eat the bowl. Hopefully this is just a fluke because the reviews for this place are pretty good. The bowl size is good. Too much rice though but from what I tasted the topics and sauces are good. No place for outdoor seating. Not sure I will be back sadly. read more

Just wanted to start off with some positives which was the fish itself was pretty good. I got the pre marinated Hawaiian tuna which was flavored well. However, the price is definitely not worth it because they give the smallest scoop of fish ever. One of my scoops was literally like 4-5 pieces of fish! I paid 11 dollars for 2 scoop bowl and they are even stingy with the toppings. Corn is so cheap!! Compared to other poke places with the same serving bowl size, it's very not worth the price at all for the amount you get. The taste was fine though. (Look at pics for proof) read more

Probably one of my top choices for poke in Riverside. The portions are on the larger size in comparison to the portions at other places, but I feel like they could be more generous with the seafood. Regardless, I think the quality of the toppings and the fish is pretty good. They have a lot of variety for toppings, including edamame, spicy and normal "crab," cucumbers, etc. they also have a ton of different sauce combos you can go for. read more

So many options!!! Poke overload!!! Step 1-3 regular with half rice and half salad 3 scoops Step 4! Oh man oh man!!! They have it plain so you can put sauce on it or poke that's already marinated which is a plus! Step 5 if you pick the ones that didn't have the marinate. They also have so many different sauces the server is super helpful to guide you. Step 6: toppings! Lots and lots of FURIKAKE! My fav, you should get it too :) Overall, love the presentation at the end. Place is clean and servers are super helpful. Must try!! read more

Poke Bistro - Yummmmmm - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

First things first the ambiance of this place is pretty depressing, the coworkers barely look like they wanna work there. Food was subpar as well, i've definitely had better poke, the fish is just kinda lacking, they barely gave you any rice, one of the workers literally told the other worker to put less rice in my bowl and when I went there another time they told the other coworker to put less ginger...? Both times I went my bowl came out to around 18 dollars...idk definitely not worth the price in my opinion. read more

Fire place!! I was looking for a poke place in the area and came here it was bomb. They really stack your bowl and there's lots of options/toppings as well. Bowls are worth the price considering they really load the bowl up 10/10 coming back read more

The bowls were so fresh and the employees were so nice and friendly:) perfect to come and study for a bit! will come again:)

Fresh , great customer service. Very clean. Will definitely go back again. Only suggestion is more beverage options

Awesome poke, big portions, friendly staff. I came in because my normal poke was closed on valentines day. Wil be back here!

I genuinely think this is the better Poke in Riverside, however sometimes it's just worth driving to Moreno Valley for some. I saw another review saying they had plastic in their bowl and I'm pretty sure mine was too. I think the rice is a hit or miss too. I've had hard rice here that wasn't properly cooked. I think their bowl choice also makes it hard to really eat the entire thing because everything sticks to it. I also dislike that they only serve miso soup when it is cold yet every other poke place I go to has it year round. I fully agree with other reviews that the price really doss not match up with the portion of food as well! Lastly, I wanted to add that I've never had an issue with customer service as well, they've always been nice to me. This is just why I feel they are 3 stars. read more
