Kat was unbelievably hospitable in my first visit! She offered a lot of suggestions and I'm excited to try my bowl. I'm from New England and this restaurant and the service I received is another reason I'd like to move to California! Thank you Kat! read more

Love your guys place and the food is amazing DoorDash: there is an error when I order on DoorDash whenever I order a Miso Soup it comes through as a Macaroon. PLEASE FIX! read more

Don't recommend this place just 30 minutes after eating the food. The place has bunch of additional charges for each scoop, and doesn't have the most fresh taste to it. read more

FOOD AND SERVICE IS AMAZING! Vibes are great and is just an amazing place to go. I recommend this place 10/10.

my favorite pokey place in Orange County. Fresh fish all the time I've been coming here since I was 17. The only reason why they're not getting a five stars anymore is because the service is absolutely awful. The workers are just rude and don't seem like they wanna be there , they always give poor attitude and little amount of fish in your pay 20 bucks for a regular. but I would still try it. still really good. :) but sucky ass attitude from workers read more

I highly recommend! Great food and service! The staff was very efficient and nice. The food was fresh and affordable.

This place tends to always be a line, but they are super efficient and so you will quickly get through. Because so many people are using it, the food is super fresh. There's plenty of seating inside, as well as lots of seating outside in the area. The price is reasonable for a poke bowl. I will be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

I ordered a regular bowl and boy was I disappointed. The fish didn't taste that fresh and I couldn't taste any of the sauces. Not only that but the bowl came in a to-go box which was extremely disappointing. For the portion it is not worth since I got a regular and got charged $17. The customer service was horrible too. I felt unwelcome when ordering. DON'T GO HERE! read more

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

By far, my favorite poke place. But after today's experience... I don't think I will be back, which makes me really sad because their sauces are Amazing. There were many workers, all very nice. But there's one person who was actually making my order and she definitely did not want to be there. She's scooping the food and literally throwing it into the container. And I don't know what they were saying but later on I saw her yelling at the owner so I am assuming it's a family member. Anyways, very unhelpful, she said they were out of salmon so I ended up getting all tuna and cancelling the other order. while I'm checking out I ask will you have salmon back in the future and the owner goes yeah it'll be ready in two minutes. I mean like come on why couldn't you let me know, especially when I had ordered two but cancel the one when you said that there were no salmon. I even apologized that my son only eats salmon and I needed to cancel one of the orders. Why can't you just let me know that they're refilling it and will be out in two minutes... most unhelpful person ever. The owner was very nice and refused to charge me the 2 orders and only charged one. I appreciated the gesture. I was happy to have gotten the other order, as my son would have been super sad... But I take my order home and open it up and what do I find in the salad but a big green stink bug. It is not their fault, I know salad greens can have bugs in them- I guess it means it's not full of pesticides... but I HATE bugs!!! I guess... be mindful when eating salads!! read more

Poke Dot - Yummy food very tasty - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I'll probably be coming here more often now bc my old spot is currently closed due to covid. Everything is pretty good here but I do notice 2 things consistently. 1) portions are inconsistent (usually less/small portions of fish) 2) the albacore looks bad (not fresh) most of the time 3) yellowtail is a upgrade (while its not at couple of my fave spots) read more

This poke spot is located near John Wayne Airport and a ton of business complexes. I can imagine it gets packed during weekday lunch rushes and even on a weekday night, we made it in before the 7:30 p.m. dinner rush. The base and toppings are pretty standard for a build your own poke place. What makes it unique is that it offers YELLOWTAIL and BLUE FIN TUNA as options (for an extra cost). The sizing and price are pretty standard for a poke place. I have yet to find one that really packs in the fish. Poke Dot's regular size (3 scoops of protein) was enough for me. PARKING: Easy to find when we went. It's located in a shopping plaza with a lot of nearby restaurants. INTERIOR: Very clean. Lots of indoor seating for small and large groups. Cold (understandable since they need to keep the seafood cold). Tons of outdoor seating available. Easy to maneuver counter (imagine like Subway) where you go down the line. Plenty of indoor lighting at night. FOOD: The fish was very fresh to me and I thought the size of the chunks was plentiful. Each scoop looks about 1/3 to 1/2 of a cup. So with three scoops, it's a little over a cup's worth of seafood. - BASE: Standard options of grains, salad, and chips. - MIX: First time I've seen NO CHARGE FOR AVOCADO SCOOP (usually other poke places charge an extra $1). Standard options of "crab" meat, cucumber, onion, etc. - PROTEIN: I think it's cool they go beyond your regular salmon, albacore, spicy tuna, and tuna. They also offer octopus, scallop, YELLOWTAIL (extra $0.75). and BLUE FIN TUNA ($1.75). The color of the seafood looked beautiful and fresh. It tasted great and minimal if any fishy smell. Wonderful texture. Spicy tuna not really spicy. - SAUCE: WEAK SAUCE. Not spicy at all. I love spicy food and even after ordering mine with spicy mayo and their house spicy sauce, I was so disappointed by the lack of heat. It's really more of a mild spice and I had to add some sriracha to my bowl. First time I've seen a cilantro-based sauce as a poke place. - TOPPINGS: The only stand out topping is their hot cheetos. It's fun to put on, but doesn't really stand out in terms of flavor once mixed in. They don't coat the hot chettos dust as much as Low-Key Poke Joint. It's really more of a small scoop. ~2 tablespoons worth. PRICE: I think it's competitive with other poke restuarants in terms of size to price. I don't think they give more or less than other places. The regular may not be enough for you if you eat a lot, but you will definitely get full by eating their large (5 scoops of protein). There is a remarkable difference between the regular and large size. Regular is $10.98 and large is $13.85. Overall: Poke Dot is a pretty solid poke restuarant. I think it's got your basics and the fish is very fresh, soft, and flavorful. I don't think there is anything particularly stand out or amazing about it. It gets the job done. read more

I love Poké. I come here almost every day for lunch. The food is fresh, they give good size portions, the staff is great and their quality of food is excellent. If you love Poké, you'll love this location. Highly recommend!! read more

First time coming here on a busy lunch hour for the shopping center. Wow, I got a regular salad bowl which gives you 3 protein options and that bad boy was packed to the brim. No skimping here! It was so nice to see that and it was even hard finishing a regular as it was so much food. Well worth it and it tasted delicious! read more

Came here for a quick meal, it had good portions! Quick service and clean restaurant! Would come back again read more

Felt rushed when I was ordering my food. I got the honey wasabi and ponzu sauce for my bowl and I could not taste it at all. It was very bland. I also didn't like that the small bowl is stuffed into a small box, making it difficult to eat. read more

Awesome poke bowl! Great all you can enjoy toppings and fresh fish. Spicy mayo and cilantro twist dressing is a great addition! read more

Poke Dot - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Pretty good! Nothing mind blowing truthfully, worth the try. I do NOT recommend the scallops. They were raw, and almost unwashed, because they were incredibly fishy. I'll for sure be back to update my review once I try without the scallops. read more

Came for a quick bite to eat before my class and the staff and food was excellent! If I'm in the area I'm definitely coming back!

I love that I can count on Poke Dot. They are always open, taste fresh & yummy, and consistent on portions served. They get a big double thumbs up for offering a veggie bowl which INCLUDES tofu! Take a lesson other poke joints, "veggie bowl should be offered for people that don't eat raw fish." Customer service is good here most of the time and parking is plentiful. I eat here 2 or 3 times a week and enjoy it each time. Great location too. Right off the freeway and John Wayne Airport. Cons: I'm not crazy about the sauces they have to choose from. Wish they offered an eel sauce or maybe a salt & pepper sesame oil concoction of some sort. Also, I wish they had a better rewards program. Right now it's a stamp card and after 10 purchases you get a side and drink. Maybe reward customers with a discount off of bowls or free bowls like alot of other poke joints offer. Either way, I'll be back. 8-) read more

I have tried a lot of poke places but I think this one has the best quality ingredients. I started visiting this place when I got my new job in July 2019 in the Irvine area looking for places to get a bite to eat through Yelp. I often go to The Square to buy Starbucks or stop by the 7 Eleven for a quick pick me up, but I decided to give this poke place a try. One thing that I noticed is their method of ordering, very simple big bold letters and pictures of 1,2,3 steps and their portion sizes are fair and reasonably priced. I ordered a regular sized bowl (which included 3 scoops of protein) for $10 which I chose: Step 1 Base: - White Rice. Step 2 Mix: - Crab Meat - Cilantro - Cucumbers - Onions Step 3 Protein: - Salmon - Tuna Step 4 Seasoning & Sauce: - Mild Seasoning (Because I can't handle spicy food) LOL - Spicy Mayo Step 5 Toppings: - Ginger - Green Onion - Seaweed Salad I also love the way they layer all the ingredients because each bite you get a bit of everything. It can get very busy and crowded during peak hours of 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm because of the business surrounding the area as well as John Wayne Airport. Overall, Poke Dot is definitely worth checking out 5/5 stars! read more

Poke Dot - Regular Salmon & Tuna Poke Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Great place, amazing food always fresh and staff are awesome. Love it and will go back again.

Whenever I need my poke fix this is my place. The fish is always fresh, the sides are fresh as well. So much to choose from.

Very unfriendly workers. Rushed me through the line and wasn't given sufficient time to scope out fish options. Also REALLY plain compared to other poke places. Not a good variety of toppings. No pineapple, mango, etc. White rice unseasoned compared to my local place back home. Almost $15 for large bowl. Plain poke should mean basic prices. Not worth it. read more

Parking is not too bad, but can take some time especially during lunch. Poke dot is located near many business complexes so a lot of people come during their lunch. I had to wait in line outside of the door, but the wait probably took less than 15min. The portions here are generous and all of my seafood was fresh. I especially like adding the crushed hot Cheetos at the end. read more

The food was average, but the one star is due to the rude employees. I've worked at a restaurants before so I know to not judge, but the service I received was not ok. The only non rude employee was the cashier, and that speaks volumes. Please invest in your employees so that they don't act rude to customers that help keep this business running. read more

Standard poke place that gets crowded during lunch. The fish is typically pretty fresh, and they usually give good portions. Come during off hours and you get a large portion of fish Avocado and crab is free which is nice. The toppings options aren't too crazy, but they have hot Cheetos. I'd definitely come back if I was close by, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here read more

Poke dot is so delicious. So many options to customize your bowl! And the Dr pepper was delicious too

This place was so delish!!!! It was super busy but the workers expedited the line and it went quickly! They give you big portions and so many choices! This is the place to go in Huntington Beach if you love Poke! read more

Poke Dot - Super delish!!!!!! They were super fast in helping all the customers and gave you a lot of food for your serving. - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

Love the taste and the portion is great. Will def come back!! Good choice of proteins and seems fresh

This place is great! Fresh food, fast service, excellent taste. And it feels so inviting.

My favorite poke spot in all of OC! Friendly staff, good portions, delicious food. The owner takes the time to genuinely get to know his customers, esp the regulars :) Can't recommend them enough! read more

Bad experience. The scoop of protein is very small portion, 1 scoop only has around 2 or 3 pieces salmon... doesn't worth the price. Won't be here again read more

tl,dr: The slightly better poke place is a 5min drive away. Likes: - Unlike some other poke places, this one has seaweed salad and hot cheetos powder for toppings. - The employees are nice. Especially the cashier guy at the end was quite friendly. - 2 hr after eating and the food still hasn't given me the runny tummy. (Better than the other poke place.) Dislikes: - hella crowded parking (Thu 1pm). - I thought I got in line at the front door. No one said I was accidentally cutting. No sign said anything. - Til finally the guy that I was accidentally cutting told me the line starts at the back door. Wow. The front door should have a sign saying the line starts at the back door. That was awkward. I didn't realize I was accidentally cutting half the line cuz I'd thought the ppl along the back wall were just waiting for their order or someone. - No mobile pay. I love the contactless, extra security, and easy tracking of spending that comes with mobile pay. - Handling credit cards = instant germ transfer. - Also, their machine takes credit card swipes, not chip inserts. Even less secure. - Hella expensive. Small bowl worth $12. Some disappointment there. - The bowl is packed so that it's hard to eat the bland rice at the bottom without eating the delicious ingredients at the top first. Meaning you start out hungry and yummy, but you end bland with diminished appetite. - They offer chips for the base (step 1), but those're p tasteless. - Brown rice felt bland. - Even though I parked far to try to avoid the denser part of the population, I still encountered obstacles trying to drive out. I paid: $11.25 small bowl + 7.7% tax = $12.23 read more

Long line usually means the chow is amazing. Or it's the closest and easiest spot to grab poke. For Dot, I think it's the latter. I should not have gone into the restroom, but I was waiting for my guest and I had time. Maybe that tarnished my eye, but YUK! The helpings weren't big, just average. The taste wasn't big, just average. The price was big, but average for this high rent district. I will not be back unless my guests insist. read more

Food quality is acceptable, but portion sizes are outrageously tiny unless you pay large amounts for size upgrades. With a 10% off coupon, my daughter and I spent as much as we would at H2O in the Tustin Marketplace for twice as much food. Would not return. read more
