    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.

    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.

    Heard about this place on TikTok and it looked so good I had to try it. Worth the drive! Such generous portions. And was so delirious!. I got spicy salmon , salmon and forgot the other spicy fish. Service was fast and courteous also.

    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!

    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!

    great customer service! shauna was so kind and helped us with a smile and made our bowls very fast. the poke specifically the salmon tasted very fresh and they had a good variety of different toppings making it very customizable. the inside is open and offers a good amount of seating as well. (sorry if i spelled the name wrong)

    One of the best poke spots I've been to! The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and everything tastes amazing. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff are super nice and friendly. Great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    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.

    Large Bowl 5 scoops

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    One my favorite poke spots because their portions are large! I used to come here for work all the time before I moved offices. The service is always great and quick. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Do they take apple pay?

    Yes, now with apple pay and google 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.)

    Stopped by on a Sunday around 7 PM and was in and out of the ordering line in about 10 minutes,…read morewhich was impressive considering how busy it was. I built my bowl with a half white rice, half salad base and chose crab, spicy crab, avocado, white onion, cucumber, and corn for the toppings. I appreciated that avocado didn't cost extra. For protein, I went with double salmon and eel. The salmon tasted fresh and was easily the best part of the bowl. The eel was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. I had it all with the Wasapon sauce, which added a nice creamy kick without overpowering everything else. I also added green onions, fried onions, garlic chips, and masago. The only thing I'd point out is that the masago portion was pretty small, and extra costs more. We didn't try any of the drinks, although they had a decent selection available. The total was a little pricier than I'd usually like for poke, but signing up for their rewards brought the price down enough that it felt more reasonable. Parking was easier than expected. The lot was almost full, but we still found a spot without much trouble. Service was friendly and efficient throughout. Overall, it's a solid poke spot with fresh fish, plenty of customization options, and quick service. Not the cheapest bowl you'll find, but I'd come back, especially for the salmon.

I've had this place bookmarked forever and I'm so happy I finally got to try it out! I placed a pick up order through DoorDash, which seems like the way to go based on the other reviews that say the wait time can be long when ordering in store. What I noticed when ordering online is the simplicity of these bowls. You don't have to choose between a ton of different toppings, which is refreshing! The salmon and tuna are super fresh and the addition of imitation crab and seaweed salad to the bowl was tasty! Loved the wasabi sauce too! The store was simple and clean.

My only issue was the lack of protein options compared to a lot of other poke places. If you're mainly a tuna and salmon person, you'll probably be happy here, but sometimes I like having a little more variety in my bowl. Not the biggest fan of the kiosk ordering either. I'm more of a people person and would rather order from someone than try to build everything on a tablet. It also felt a little limiting when trying to customize the bowl exactly how I wanted. Not a bad spot by any means, just didn't fully hit for me personally.

It was covered in a mango sauce.. you couldn't even make out the slices of fish .. so you couldn't appreciate the texture through the thickish sauce The mixed platter had an unappetizing coleslaw that seemed well past its prime. The sweet potato fries and dipping sauce were the highlight of the tray. The batter on the fried fish was still undercooked, so it was wet and gooey underneath and just fell off the fish. The calamari was overcooked. The crabcake, though, had the best flavor and was the second best thing on the tray If I'm in the area,, I might give it another shot. But prolly not.
