    3 scoops of protein
    Charmaine P.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Wonderful fresh selection and reasonably priced Poke and beer can be purchased from Cluck Kitchen nextdoor .

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Do they take apple pay?

    Is this the only location or are there others?

    Do they have gluten free options (ie gluten free soy sauce)?

    Yes they have GF soy sauce, Spicy Mayo, and Sesame oil as GF sauce options. Note* per employee The Imitation crab is not GF.

    Do they let you get extra toppings? Ex: Avacado 2 scoops instead of 1

    There is a charge for a 2nd scoop of avocado. (But they'll give you a 2nd scoop of crabmeat at no charge - I know most other places would charge for the crab.)

Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

Mac and cheese was a pretty big portion for a kid, really cheesy and rich. Overall pretty good meal and surprisingly pretty affordable considering the cost of seafood. Service was attentive. Would recommend.

The chilled platter especially was such a nice presentation with the oysters, shrimp, lobster, mussels and scallops. The seafood pasta was also so good.
