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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 - 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

Solid poke bowl that is LOADEDDDDD. I love their salmon here and the scoops they gave are lowkey a lot. Would definitely come back bevause they hage Cheetos as well! 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

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

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

so I had to pair it with some fresh poke. There's a promotion going on right now for 50% off if you write a review--such a great deal! The food was delicious and the miso soup really hit the spot. The location is a bit tucked away in the corner, but it wasn't hard to find. Service was quick and easy--definitely a place I'd come back to! 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! THE DRINK. - Pink Lemonade | Sweet and tangy. Get it. THE RETURN? Yeah, I'd come back. I really like the portion sizes and the food quality is everything. read more

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

My FAVORITE poke place! I legit eat here at least 3 times a week! The poke is ALWAYS fresh, and they have a nice selection of options. This place gets PACKED! Especially during lunch time, but I assure you it's definitely worth the wait. They also have a nice outside patio to sit and enjoy some sunshine. They are not stingy with their portions and they've never disappointed. Their prices are reasonable for the portions they give. read more

This is actually a good poke spot that I come to all the time whenever I'm in the area. It's just that unfortunately today was a little odd and I would usually leave it as is but after talking to my friends, they told me it's more serious. I went there today around lunch and ordered a poke bowl. I walked in and everyone seemed pretty busy which was fine but there were 3 staff members and 2 in the back. The woman who was cleaning the door, I waited for her to come in to see me which she did and told this other worker to help me out. So this female worker and another male worker appeared all worked up trying to clean something in the bathroom. The female worker walked towards the food area and asked me for my order. I hesitated because why was she WEARING THE SAME BLACK GLOVES she has coming out from the bathroom. She was handling my food and I really got grossed out and wanted to say something but it's honestly my issue that I don't speak up And then didn't even wait to finish for my payment and just left and went back to the bathroom. Like I could have just left without paying but I did pay. Anyways she went back to the bathroom and she was holding the bathroom signs. And another woman said can you take the customers orders and she left the signs and went back to the food counter with THE SAME GLOVES. I just left after that and I don't know if she even changed it. Like I said I love this poke place. But today was just not it with having her have those Gloves on while serving my food even after she came out from the bathroom helping the other male worker and holding the mop. read more

Love the food there. And the place is always make you feel welcome and people are friendly and nice.

Not bad, not great. Glad I tried, probably won't be back. Would have been a 2 star review, but service was good and staff members were nice. Rice and fish didn't taste fresh. Rice portion was good, poki portion was small. Toppings were good. Bland experience. Overall, not a good value. There's just better options in area. read more

Food is great. I was able to ask for my poke to be mixed and they were able to do it. Not too many places do that. I really like the food and the outside ambiance is chill. read more

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

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

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I split the five scoop bowl and had two miso soups. It was a very good value, ....and we could not even finish the bowl. The ingredients were very fresh and there was a good variety. You can choose to have lettuce or rice or a combination as your base. They do have indoor seating, but we chose to sit outside on the nice patio that is shared with Starbucks, Jersey, Mike's and other restaurants read more

I work in irvine and usually love a quick lunch. I online order and it is always ready when i get there. Their poke is very fresh and they are generous with their portions. Sauces are super good, and the place is really clean. So if you like to sit or take it togo, this place is amazing for both! Definitely give it a try. read more

When they get it right - the poke bowls here are awesome, but they are too expensive compared to others of similar quality. When they don't get it right - makes me never want to come here again. Inconsistency - that is their main problem. Each person making the bowl makes it different. Sometimes you get less fish, other times less sauce, or the sauce doesn't get mixed well enough, or not enough sauce to coat all the fish, where it doesn't disappear with the rice. The worst part is when you get old fish and you have to use the bathroom a few times after. This happened to me a couple of times when coming here. There is ample seating inside, but seems like most choose to sit outside. The outside seating is nice; sitting inside is weird as often its just you and the employees. If it was not so pricey, I would have been more lenient with my score, but I cannot give them more than a 3 given the inconsistency at their price point. read more

Even though it was a bit pricey, it was worth the money. They let you choose your base (white or brown rice; salad), 3 different proteins, and fillings, and sauce. It was very satisfying, and the ambiance was nice too. The servers were very friendly, also. read more

Inside has a good amount of seats. Came for dinner and there wasn't anyone here. So no line. That was convenient. So I was happy. I've tried a lot of poke spots. But this one was unique. They had Maui tuna which was unique from what I've seen. Most seafood isn't mixed with anything. They also have hot Cheetos for toppings. I was so happy. I love hot Cheetos. I had to add that topping. It made my poke taste waaaay better! So I was happy to try this place out. When you wrote a review for the first time they give you half off your bowl and when you check in a free drink. So not a bad deal. I'll definitely come back when I want poke in Irvine. read more

Poke Dot - It's all mixed up. There is hot Cheetos in there!!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Personally, poke dot is my favorite poke spot in the area, but I'm also biased because I've been coming here for years! Like others have said, their portions are big, bigger than most places. Their prices have gone up, as is expected, but portions are still good. Fish is always fresh and I like their toppings, including the hot Cheetos dust! Staff has also always been friendly :) read more

Pokedot? More like Poke-YASSS. I walked in craving something fresh and left feeling like a satisfied sushi-loving sea otter. The fish here is so fresh it probably had a gym membership and a skincare routine. I built my own bowl like a culinary architect, stacking salmon, tuna, and all the crunchy goodness I could find. By the end, it looked like a masterpiece Gordon Ramsay would weep over. The staff? Super friendly. They treated me like a VIP even though I was standing there indecisively like, 'Do I need more avocado? Yes. The answer is always yes.' If you're debating whether to go here, just do it. Your taste buds will thank you, and your wallet won't cry. Pokedot is a 10/10, would devour again read more
