    Ordered again hoping i give this place another chance but this time food was cold the rice and hard. It is never like this need better staff. Please don't go here they don't care about their customers and very rude.

    Bowl Prices on 08/22/2026.

    The food is great and fresh here but not fair with the portions. I've been a loyal customer since they used to have loyalty stamp cards back in the day. I have never seen a place actively raise their prices as much as this place has. These prices should never be normalized for Poke, especially if they're being stingy with scoops & extra for other toppings. Highly disappointed.

    The staff here are super friendly, and the portions are massive. I got a regular poke bowl and was honestly surprised by how much food they give you. They include free avocado and a generous amount of imitation crab, which is always a plus. A large bowl could easily last two meals, so I was really happy with both the portion size and the food quality for the price. Bowls are around $16-$21, which is actually a great deal considering how much food you get. My go to combo is spicy mayo and ponzu sauce, which adds the perfect balance of flavor. The location is also very convenient with lots of things to do around the area. Overall, I had a great experience and would 100% come back again.

    Enjoyed a visit at Poke Dot down in the Claremont village today, not your typical seafood expert but I will say me and my friend Landon enjoyed our meals throughly. If you are willing to spend some dough you can grab yourself a pretty quick and yummy meal I came in today around noon and the customer service was great the dude at the front cashier was chill. One thing to note was the fountain machine is out of order. Other than that would highly recommend.

    It was so good that I forgot to take a picture and they gave me such a big serving! It was awesome. They were so nice and the service was so fast. Thank you Poki dot and everybody there. I hope you get more customers because you are so great. Everybody should go to poki dot. My mom loved it too!

    If I could give this place a million stars I would. I've always lived a bit of a distance but this has been one of my favorite spots since i found out about it over 8 years ago. I rave about it and bring so many friends and family. This poke spot is my favorite forever the portions are always so good the bowls are delicious, the workers are always so nice and amazing and it's always so chill in there. I don't think I'll ever stop coming back here keep up the amazing work!

    Solid poke spot in Claremont! Interior is nice and clean. I got salmon and octopus, and the small bowl was more than enough to fill me up. Portions are generous, and all toppings are free, which is a huge plus. Not the freshest I've had, but definitely a reliable and satisfying option in the area. Will be back!

    That was the bug found
    Jennifer S.

    While eating my food I found a piece of plastic in my food, which is already unacceptable and concerning from a safety standpoint To make matters worse, my coworker also discovered a bug in her bowl. This raises serious concerns about cleanliness, food preparation standards, and overall quality control. Finding foreign objects-especially both plastic and a bug in one visit is not something that should ever happen. When I called to report the issue, all I received was a quick "I'm so sorry, it won't happen again and I have to go we have customers waiting." There was no real effort to address the situation-no offer to refund our meals, even though we had to throw everything away after two bites. I hope management takes this seriously and thoroughly reviews their food safety and sanitation practice. Based on this experience I definitely won't be returning and I will be letting others know.

    Poke Dot is always delicious. The staff greets you the second you're in the door and they are super quick throwing your order together. The restaurant isn't the biggest but it's always clean and tidy. I usually enjoy sitting along the window facing Indian Hill Blvd.

    Spicy mayo sauce

    I was visiting Botanic Garden in Claremont this past weekend. Afterwards, I shopped at Trader Joe's (TJ) and picked up some chicken kabobs from Boca Burger. I promised my eldest daughter that I would buy a poke bowl for her. At first, I thought of Oh Poke which would have been closer since it was in the same center as where TJ was located. But I've already tried it a long time ago. I looked on Yelp to see where else has poke bowls. Poke Dot came up and it was less than or about a mile away so that was my next stop. Thank you Yelp!!! Poke Dot is within the Claremont Village. It's actually on Indian Hill Blvd. There are small parking lots and street parking available. This poke joint has a bright and inviting ambiance. No one was in here when I arrived which was great for me so I can take lots of photos. Staff was super friendly and nice. I needed a minute to check out their fishes and toppings. Everything was very fresh. I couldn't help myself and got two large poke bowls. Each bowl comes with 5 scoops. Price was on the higher end of $19.95 per large bowl compared to other poke places that I've been to. But that didn't stop me from getting them LOL. I asked to try the brown rice and the gentleman was nice to give me a small sample cup of it. It was piping hot right out of the rice cooker. It was soft and fluffy. I was SOLD! Both poke bowls pretty much had the same ingredients except for the base where mine had half brown rice and half salad. My daughter got all white rice. As for the fishes, I went with 3 scoops of salmon and 2 scoops of tuna. They also had albacore, shrimp, scallop, octopus, spicy tuna, and tofu. As for toppings, I got everything that was there... cucumbers, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, original and spicy crab meat, and avocados. As for crunches, I got everything, too... tempura, hot cheetos, fried onions, masago, seaweed seeds, and furikake. Lastly, topped with seaweed salad, edamame beans, ginger, and wasabi. As for sauces, I got them on the side... spicy mayo, medium spice house sauce, and cilantro twist. That was a whole lot of goodness. The lady had a hard time sealing the bowls... they were that full. I love the over the top poke bowl. Hey, there's a new label for it. My poke bowl was so full that I had to pick at each corner slowly. It was so fresh and delicious! The only gripe is that a few of the salmon chunks had muscle tissue attached. No big deal. I would definitely be back here for more tasty poke bowls. But next time, I may just have the whole bowl mixed in with the sauces. Highly recommend this Poke Dot!!!

    Ask the Community - Poke Dot

    Does anything on the menu have peanuts, and can severe nut allergies be accommodated?

    No and yes

    Does anyone know how much rice goes into the bowls per size? Is it 1/2 cup, 1 cup, or 2?

    Typically you can rough eyeing it. Most places have 1 scoop = 1-1 1/2 cups so if you see them put 2 scoops of rice you know it's 2-3 cups of rice. You can also ask them to do light rice if you'd like and guesstimate it from there

She then rudely said "can you go sit over there?", motioning to a tiny table in the corner and prioritizing the customers who were behind us to sit there. We spoke in Spanish trying to order and she would keep on going back to English even though she was comfortably speaking with other customers in Spanish. I'm not sure if this server was having a bad day or there was something about us, but I did not appreciate her attitude towards us. I wanted to like this place because of a friend who said she had a good experience. For the price and what we received and how we were treated, I would not recommend.

We had the banquet hall side and it was able to accommodate 200 guests.

They also prepaid for drinks from the bar so folks could order from a bartender. Only a few dishes were ordered (since there was other food from an outside catering vendor) and I only got to try it after it was cold so I can't give a wholistic review on the food they serve, but I really liked the leaf wrapped beef with Banh Hoi (vermicelli sheet) and the mango salad!

I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.
