    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.)

This place is located in the same center as McDonald's, El Pollo Loco, and Jam Jam Tea Lab. I ordered a SMALL poke bowl with two scoops of protein: SALMON and SCALLOPS for $14.50, and added avocado for $1. All toppings are FREE so pack it on to your heart's content. The prices are pretty reasonable and they give you A LOT of food. This was about the same amount of food as a 3-scoop protein bowl at my favorite poke spot. Service was okay, but when I asked the cashier to explain the sauces to me, she just kind of assumed I understood how it worked. She asked me if I wanted "poke sauce," but did not tell me what was in it. Then she asked me if I wanted sesame oil and I said, "Ok." I asked for light spicy mayo, sesame oil, and poke sauce, and she drizzled it all over the bowl... Anyhow, I expected the bowl to be super salty, but somehow it wasn't even though she had put a lot of sauce in there lol. Overall, the bowl lacked flavor and the sauce was not evenly distributed. The rice was good, the salmon was fresh. The scallops were meh. I didn't like that the toppings tasted like they came out of a can. I would not get the pineapple or "crab" (imitation crab) again. Also, the cucumbers were pickled, which caught me by surprise. Their fried onion was more crunchy than other places which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, although this place gives you a bang for your buck, it left me unfulfilled. I think of they marinated their fish and sauces together rather than drizzling it on the bowl, it would be better. I will not be coming back. They have a few cute wooden tables inside so you can eat with a few of your friends or dine in by yourself. Better luck next time!

I also highly recommend grabbing extra sauce from the back - the chicken plates can be a bit dry and if you like it with a good amount of sauce, you will want extra on top of what is already provided. For me, a lot of extra sauce is needed to cover the rice and chicken and give it some actual noticeable teriyaki flavor. Overall this is a good establishment with a wide choice of meats to grill for yourself at home (if you're into that) and the staff has always been friendly! I will be back for another happy hour deal soon!
