So glad I stopped here after seeing a few instagrams awhile back. Since I was in the area, why not. I got the 2 scoop bowl for $15.95 and boy to they back it in! They also have avocado which is not extra which is very rare to find anymore. Lots of topping available which I just love! The girl was very friendly and patient w/all my choices. I can't believe I haven't been here in years bc I'm missing out! Will definitely be back! read more

Poke Dot - Small Bowl 2 scoops - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Was craving some poke after the gym and this was literally across the street. HUGE portions and lots of variety. So many build your own spots skimp, especially on the seafood. But this one doesn't. Just some notes: -Initiation crab a little too mayo-y for my preference -never seen kimchi as a topping option so I tried it. I love kimchi but it just doesn't go with poke especially since this is the more ripe sour kind. This is completely on me though -hefty scoop of avocado -lots of rice and salad in addition to other toppings and fish (again, huge portions and I got the regular) Service was decent and plenty of space to eat inside and outside. It was a warm summer night so it was nice to sit in the late day sun I would come back if ever around and need something quick. Seems like it would be a good spot to hit for lunch if you work nearby read more

Poke Dot - Regular bowl - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Food is decent. Everything tasted pretty good and fresh, not the freshest I've ever tried but still happy with it. The service was meh. If you want poor service and for a staff member (the only one not wearing the uniform and wearing headphones AT WORK) to make you feel dumb when it's your first time there then this is the perfect place for you to try. I had to repeat myself several times while ordering and she repeated herself without any clarity as to what or how I was supposed to order??? At the end of the encounter while waiting for my soup, she says ok you're good. As if to leave already? It was just the weirdest customer service. Tbh, I'll probably never come here again. There are PLENTY of poke places in the area that have much better and professional customer service with the same level of quality/price. "Bad food can be covered by good service, but even the best food cannot overcome bad service." read more

Great place for some delicious poke. I got the 3 scoop and it was still under $20! Unbelievable. Loving the free avocado and the sauces. Ended up trying the honey wasabi and spicy mayo. Wish they had eel sauce but not a deal breaker. Portions were satisfying and service was great. I'm coming back for more. read more

Poke Dot - 3 scoops of protein - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Poke Dot was super busy during the lunch hour. I was nearby and decided to stop and check out this place. My navigation took me to the back side of the center where there was plenty of parking. It looked like it was more crowded in the front parking lot. it was pretty lively and loud inside with a lot of customers eating and talking. There was plentiful outdoor seating as well. There was plenty of staff working and assigned to each section of the toppings. This is a good move to accommodate all the customers during the busy times. I chose to get half-and-half with brown rice and the mixed greens. I got the large with five scoops of fish, including salmon, blazed, salmon, and octopus. For the sauce I went with House sauce, medium, ponzu, and spicy mayo. I got almost everything that was available including avocado, which is not extra. This is amazing because I haven't been to any other poke place that offers this. There are other good toppings included such as crab, seaweed salad, and Masago. There's even crumbled hot Cheetos if that's your thing. Everything tasted very fresh, however, the fish was a bit bland, even though it was mixed with the sauces. I think I'll definitely have to ask for a sauce on the side next time. I had some for lunch and then I had plenty of leftovers for dinner. I'm definitely putting this on my lunch rotation. read more

I stopped by this poke spot after hearing some good things about it online and was not disappointed. Parking is plentiful and the inside is clean and quaint. The staff was kind and efficient. I got the large bowl which was around $20 which comes with five scoops of protein. I got two scoops of the limited spicy salmon and 3 scoops of regular salmon. They also have so many delicious toppings such as crab meat, avocado, seaweed salad, hot cheeto flakes, and so much more for no additional charge. The ponzu was a delicious topping and the owner was so nice and helped out on the line too which I appreciate. Overall great value, will definitely be back soon! read more

Poke Dot - Large Bowl 5 scoops - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

A great poke spot for the price and amount you get. The fish are big chunks and do not taste fishy at all and they had plenty of toppings to choose from. Could easily be a 4 or 5 star place but the day I went, the rice was just so bad. Given the rice was the base of the entire dish, it really ruined the experience for me. It was hard and almost tasted like old rice. Staff were friendly and there's plenty of seating options indoors and outdoor by the plaza. Will try and come back again and hopefully the rice will be better next time. read more

Heard super great things about this place and I just had to check it out as I am an avid poke lover! There was no line when I came in and the worker was so friendly. I was so surprised on how heavy the food was even though I got a small size. It definitely fed me for two meals. The poke itself was so delicious and there was a huge variety of toppings to pick from. They also have a stamp card that you can get a stamp every time you visit. read more

Get the most bang out of your buck by getting the large because they pack that thing full. The taste of the food is quite bland but just ask for more sauce or add your own (they have soy sauce packets there too). Service was quick and there's ample seating. read more

Poke Dot - Large Bowl 5 scoops - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Pokes Dot is such a great poke spot in Irvine. It's located near John Wayne Airport in the plaza just down the street. The restaurant has both indoor seating and outdoor seating in the courtyard, which makes for a nice place to enjoy your meal. I took my friend here for a birthday lunch, and it was a great choice. The portion size for a regular bowl was incredible and more than enough. If you're looking for poke that offers both great value and quality, this is definitely a place worth checking out. read more

Went during lunch and was helped right away. Even with the lunch rush, the line goes by fast. I loved the huge selection of fresh fish and toppings. I got the Maui Tuna as one of my choices, and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered a large bowl and THEY. LOADED. IT. UP. Seriously, you will be full. The fish was fresh and tasted fantastic. The only small issue was that the music was a little loud, so I think the employee had a hard time hearing me. I'm not taking off any stars because it honestly could have been on me for not speaking loudly enough. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Poke Dot is good. However, they have raised their prices a lot over the past 3 to 4 years. It's overpriced IMO (hence the 3 stars) but it's really the only poke place nearby if you work in the area so this is your only option. There are similar places in Irvine that give the same amount of food but for less price. The sauces are bland compared to previous years when I would come here once a week or so. Customer service has been efficient. Always busy though of course during the lunch rush during the week. Ample parking. Clean restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Overall - if you're craving poke and in the area - this place is good but it's just overpriced. read more

By far - my favorite poke in the OC. Everything is always so fresh and they're always so friendly. Every time I've visited, the consistency is always there. I usually get the smallest size (2 proteins) and tbh, it's a great amount of food. I wished there was a size in between, I usually can't finish it. They pack the box, always! My go to is always one of their seasonal salmon/tuna. Parking can be annoying on the weekdays during lunch. Theres indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Poke Dot - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Braved the parking lot during lunch and wanted to try this poke. The line was long but it went by fast. The staff was fast, but I think it makes a very messy non appetizing looking plate of food. Your food isn't in a bowl but rather a to go box. We got a medium and it was a lot of rice. If you're looking for quantity this is probably your place. Others comment how they give you so much food. But I saw mainly rice. The scoops of protein aren't big nor are the toppings. read more

Stopped by Poke Dot on Father's Day with my wife. I had been here before and remembered it being pretty decent. As soon as we walked in, the employees seemed completely indifferent. One employee just looked at us and waited for me to say what we wanted. No welcome, no "How can I help you?"... just a blank stare. After getting our base, I was asked which toppings I wanted. I didn't realize there were additional toppings off to the side and started telling them which fish my wife wanted. Again, I got a blank stare... then a half-hearted point toward the toppings station. I ordered the 3-item bowl, half rice and half lettuce, with tuna, spicy tuna, and a third fish I can't remember. I added most of the toppings and the spicy house sauce. My wife ordered a 2-item bowl with rice and double spicy tuna. I'm not sure which toppings or sauce she chose. As for the food, the fish was decent. The lettuce was fine, but the rice was bad. It tasted like cheap rice that either wasn't washed properly or just wasn't prepared well. The flavor of the rice overpowered everything else to the point that I could barely taste the fish or the sauce. I didn't say much while we were eating, but I could tell my wife wasn't enjoying her bowl either. I ended up eating mostly the lettuce and was glad I ordered the half-and-half. Afterward, I asked my wife what she thought. She said the fish was fine, but she didn't like the rice. For reference, my wife is Filipina and believes that "rice is life." If she doesn't like the rice and doesn't finish it, something is wrong. I didn't rate the restaurant any lower because I've had good experiences here before. I'm going to chalk this one up to a bad day. That said, there are a lot of good poke places around here. After this visit, I don't know if I'll be back. read more

I love Poke Dot!! It's located in a plaza next to the church I attend. I love the variety of options they have to build your own Poke bowl. I especially love the crab meat and seaweed. The ladies who served me were nice. They even have a stamp card - every purchase you make, you receive a stamp and after 10 stamps, you get a free bowl! The inside seating is quite limited so my friend and I went outside. It was nice. Thank you, Poke Dot! read more

I've been on a bit of a poke kick lately, and since I didn't feel like heading out, I decided to get Poke Dot delivered. I'm always a little nervous about raw fish traveling, but this was absolutely delicious and arrived perfectly fresh! * Freshness: The fish quality was top-tier. Even with the delivery time, the tuna and salmon were firm and chilled, which is exactly what you want. * The Mix-ins: I love how they distribute the sauce--it wasn't soggy at all. Every bite had a great balance of flavor without drowning out the taste of the fish. * Portion Size: They were quite generous with the scoops and the toppings, making it a very filling and satisfying meal. The delivery was quick and the packaging was sturdy, so nothing leaked or got squished. It's definitely my new go-to when I want a healthy, high-quality meal but want to stay in. Whether you're dining in or ordering at home, Poke Dot is incredibly consistent. Definitely one of the better poke spots in the area for quality and portion size! read more

Poke Dot - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Poke Dot is the most generously portioned poke shop in Irvine that I've found. Their regular bowl ($17.45) gives you three scoops of protein, with nice big chunks of fish. I like that crab meat, avocado and seaweed salad are available at no extra charge. It was so big that I think I could probably just get a small bowl next time. I had placed my order online and for pick up during the busy lunch hour (where the line was to the door). I had ordered two bowls and unfortunately the bases for them got mixed up, so I got my husband's white rice and he got my salad and brown rice. Oops. I might have given Poke Dot a higher rating, if not for this. If you come during weekday lunch, you may want to order online. Or maybe it's safer to just get in line and make sure your bowl is made the way you want. read more

Poke Dot - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Stumbled upon this place on my way to a tutoring class and it was pretty convenient for us. It was literally 2 minutes from the tutoring place and we could not be happier. We went in at 4:30pm and obviously it was not a busy time. The place was well-maintained, clean, and had plenty of seating areas. We ended up having a large bowl with a white rice as a base, and 5 scoops of delicious proteins (1 spicy tuna, 2 salmon, and 2 shrimp). For the sauce, we tried spicy mayo which was perfect (just the right amount of heat), and the toppings we picked our usual likings (green onion, seaweed salad, furikake, and masago). Honestly, we didn't expect to eat this much food before our dinner time, so we only managed to eat half and took the rest home for later. read more

Poke Dot - Spicy poke Regular Bowl 3 scoops - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been coming here for a while and one thing I really appreciate is the portion size. They definitely don't skimp on the protein, and I always leave feeling like I got my money's worth. I also like that they're constantly introducing new protein options, which keeps things interesting instead of ordering the same bowl every time. The one area I think could use some improvement is the sauce selection. More sauce options or seasonal flavors would make the experience even better. Other than that, it's a solid poke spot with generous portions and good value. If you're looking for a place that isn't stingy with their servings, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Great portion sizes with a variety of toppings, ability to customize half rice and salad, add several fish proteins. Plenty of tables as a casual sit down spot. This location has plenty of parking with several great shops nearby like Paderia for cookies/pastries. read more

Food: 3 Protein Poke Bowl (Half Brown Rice and Chips) Price: $17.45 Overall: My friend recommended this place to me. We came on July 4th and they weren't close until 4pm! Upon arriving, I like that they have a variety of fish options. Also, the portions are very big; each scoop of fish was generous! I got the regular, and they stacked up on the fish and sides. The avocado here was also free (IN THIS ECONOMY? SAY LESS). Not an authentic hawaiian spot but this is a solid casual poke with a great amount of indoor and outdoor seating! read more

Dropped by for a poke bowl and even though we found a parking spot up close, I could see the lot filling up during peak times. If that happens, there is additional parking behind the shopping plaza. Just wanted to throw that out there because don't let the parking deter you from trying this place out! THE FOOD. - Poke Bowl (Large) | The large is large! It comes with five scoops of protein and several options of toppings to choose from. Everything was fresh and delicious. If you're a salmon lover, definitely get a few scoops of it!

This is my second time coming here and it's definitely one of the best poke shops in the area! The store is kept pretty clean and there weren't many people when I came in but I can imagine how busy it gets during the weekdays. I went with the regular bowl (3 scoops) but definitely could have done the small bowl (2 scoops). The portions here are extremely generous and the employees are all very sweet here. I do wish I got more sauce as I couldn't really taste much flavor so that's something I'll definitely keep in mind for next time! They also give free avocado here so that's a huge plus. read more

First off, the portion is very big. I got the large with the five scoops of protein and a bunch of toppings (Avocado comes free) and it was actually very filling. The fish tasted fresh along with the other toppings, but I will say the brown rice was a little dry. Though this could be because I went an hour before closing. Service was pretty fast, you pick and choose the items you want and and the workers make the bowl in front of you. The location itself has some seats inside and outside for you to enjoy, and it's located in a plaza with a good amount of parking. read more
