Eaten here a couple of times and fish is fresh and lots of options to choose from to make your poke bowl.

What a great find on a random saturday afternoon. The staff was very friendly with great suggestions. And finally, a place that doesnt nickle and dime you for everything. The portions are generous and ingredients are super fresh. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. read more

very good service was open late and still made everything tasted very good no complaints. day was lowkey bad except this would reccomend !

Insanely good servings, delightful fish. Bangin crab salad. What else is there to sayZ

Disappointed. Every time I come here, the portion gets smaller and smaller. Three pieces of tuna, I tsp of spicy tuna, a couple tablespoons of rice and a sprinkle of about 4-5 toppings made the small bowl come up to half of the bowl. 15$ for this? Never again. This is taking advantage of people just like the rental market is doing. Shame on you. read more

Food was very good but the service felt forced and fell short of any positive vibes. I was very excited to try and I stated it was my first time there, but hardly any response or helpful insight was given from the 2 girls behind the counter. If I asked a question they would respond very quietly and short that I would have to ask again as I couldn't hear what they said. I was the only customer in at that time and was very friendly to them, not sure why the vibe was off, otherwise I would have happily given a 5 star. read more

The food here is amazing. Best poke in the OC area. The service is very fast, and it smells fresh when you walk in. It has a nice outside area to eat, and has other pairings to go with the poke. read more

Fish was very fresh and they even had blue fin tuna! Some of their toppings were unavailable and they no longer do wraps. When I leave out of John Wayne Airport I will try to stop in here again!! read more

One is recent and one is prior to that one but the difference is that one bowl is filled to the top and the other is half way filled When they were making my bowls prior to this day it was graciously portioned typically when I would go New employees I believe Used to be my favorite place to go to for poke 30-40 minute drive but after this time my gf is not happy so gonna have to look for another place to get poke read more

Second time at Poke Dot & it's my go-to lunch spot after working out in Irvine. I'm mostly impressed with Andrew. I usually call for pick up & he's very kind & polite on the phone. The food is delicious, and it's even better that the service is superb. Thanks Andrew for everything! I'm def a loyal customer of Poke Dot! See you guys soon! Xo read more

This is a one and done for me. The fish was not good quality. I had the salmon and the albacore, and both were stringy and not sushi grade fish. A few pieces of the salmon were actually tough, which I've never experienced. I had to keep spitting fish into a napkin. I couldn't finish my bowl, because I was too grossed out by the fish. The veggies seemed fresh, but it ended there. Of the five employees I faced as they built my bowl assembly line style, not a single person was smiling. Definitely got the vibe that they do not like their jobs or care to be there. read more

This is a poke place that I go to all the time. The raw fish and vegetables are of good quality and extremely fresh. So it's definitely worth the price. They also have a wide selection of sauces, and my favorite combination is House medium with spicy mayo. If you are looking forward to a healthy life style and you love salmon and tuna, I highly recommend you try Poke Dot. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

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

Fresh food material High protein and nutrition Sometimes may have long wait time, but staffs are fast Staffs are nice Good environment read more

They don't have online service to place an order, such a bummer man!!! Get your website update!!!

Fresh and tasty poke. Very cold and lots of great options and toppings. They are in a good food court where you can grab a coffee afterward.

Great bowl proportions and service! Food is fresh. The house medium sauce and cilantro twist are my personal favorite sauces.

Same good service and product every time. They have pineapple which some poke places don't have which is a great addition. They have a lot of fish and sauce options as well as drinks like boba. The ambiance is great also. read more

Food was amazing! The workers were so nice and welcoming, I would definitely come here again

Great food at good price! We love coming here for dinner and it's a great alternative to sushi!

This shop is located in a shopping center near the airport. The center has a bunch of food options, so it was absolutely packed when we came here for a Friday lunch. They have two bowl size options: regular for 9.45 and large for 11.75. The regular bowl is bigger than regular sized bowls at other poke shops. You get to choose 3 scoops of protein and they are actually good sized scoops. The tuna and salmon pieces were big and tasted fresh, probably the freshest fish I have had at poke place. For your bowl, you choose toppings and sauces like most places. The difference maker is that avocado does not cost extra. I have never been to poke shop that didn't charge for avocado. That is amazing and they will have my business as long as they don't change that. I would have given this place 5 stars, but the parking situation and line at lunch time was challenging. It's probably much better on a non-workday. read more

Excellent service! Shout out to Jenny for awesome customer service w/ hot cheeto reccomendation. Love this spot and will definitely be back again soon read more

Its gone down hill they changed the container of the plastic which facilitie the raw fish alot better into cheap and opening paper box

Usually my go-to whenever I'm in this plaza. One of my favorite poke places because of how much they give you. I get a regular bowl and have never finished the entire thing within one sitting...yay for leftovers! The parking area is pretty big, so there shouldn't be a problem with parking unless you come during a busy time of the day. There's also tons of other food options within the same plaza if your party wants other options. You should plan to get here before the lunch rush (I.e., 11:00-11:30am) because you will be waiting outside the door if you don't. Located in the plaza right across the street from the business plaza, so tons of people come to this area for lunch. Limited seating inside, especially if there's already a line out the door because it can feel very crowded. There's more seating out, but again - gotta beat the lunch rush if you have a big group of people. Even though the line goes out the door, it moves pretty fast. For a little over $10 (after tax), you get 3 scoops of fish and all the possible toppings (including avocado). The most recent time I went, a worker had accidentally added a protein that the customer did not ask for...it was pretty busy and loud so it was an easy mistake. The worker ended up throwing the entire bowl of food away in front of everyone in line. As a customer, I understand that the worker had to start all over, but throwing all that food away was so wasteful and especially in front of a huge line of customers. read more

Poke Dot - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I am still addicted to poke. It's been a few years since the phenomenon began and I'm still searching for great spots. Poke Dot serves up great DIY poke. Evidence to that is the lunch line - it's the craziest I've ever seen. Yes, it is akin to waiting in line for a Disneyland ride. I waited almost 25 minutes before I got to the beginning of the assembly, so to make the most of my time, I ordered not just a regular poke bowl, but decided to try the poke wrap, too. Right when I got to the cashier, I also impulsively bought a spam musubi - definitely recommend these morsels! The bowl and wrap had the same ingredients: regular size, rice, double salmon and single spicy tuna, I topped it with everything they had to offer and chose medium house spice and spicy mayo. All the proteins and veggies were fresh. Avocado and crab is INCLUDED, which I'm happy for because I'm seeing more and more poke places starting to charge those as extra (bummer). I regret adding the seaweed salad though... The sesame oil and sweetness were so heavy, it seeped into the rest of the poke, so next time, not including that. Other than that, I made a pretty delicious spicy poke concoction! However, my main gripe is the wrap. I wondered why there were no photos of them on their Yelp page, but I decided to try it anyway. Mistake. The wrap is soypaper - I usually prefer nori since it has a bit more structural integrity. And as I surmised, the wrap was a messy disaster. The amount of poke they tried to fit into the soypaper was too much and the entire wrap fell apart when I tried to pick it up. It's the worst feeling when you're about to bite into your food and suddenly, you see your life just fall apart, and poke is collecting in a pile at your feet *crying face. On top of that, the poke was mushed and mixed together beyond recognition - I was expecting to see the layers of ingredients rather than seeing a homogeneous mixture that was not very aesthetic... I will come again, at least half an hour before lunch rush and will be avoiding the wraps forever. They have great thing going, but is it worth that wait? I'm not so sure when other poke spots are just as good and have a shorter line. read more

Poke Dot is a great poke store with great customer service and fresh ingredients! A little on the pricier side, but worth the quality!

I have nothing but great things to say about this poke spot! 3 scoops comes with a regular sized bowl, the rise was freah as well as the salad. You can add avocado with no extra cost. The house sauce was very tasty, plus I added spicy mayo for good measure- which was delicious. They don't add 13 tablespoons of crunchy garlic or onions like other places- just a normal amount. Overall, best poke I have had in OC since moving out here a year ago. Ride your bike and make a quick stop for takeout and enjoy on the huge patio with great social distancing seating. Ample space for more than 6 feet between parties. read more

I've been going to this location sporadically for 3 years now and the food is incredible and fresh everytime. The staff is friendly and professional and the location is always clean and accessible. Bonus points for being one of the few poke places that offers boba drinks. read more

Haven't been here in yearsss, but this is the place that made me fall in love with Poke. Glad it's still around and still bomb af!

Girlfriend/neighbor of mine decided to stop by this spot on her way home and asked if I wanted a bowl. Never tried this place before so, sure. Oh my, this bowl was Bomba! Fresh and tasty and gave me the extra ginger I was needing in my life. New returning customer for sure! Thanks! read more

Best salmon in the town. Large dice of fish, ripe avocado. The shrimp is like wtf, The shrimp is that kind of cheapest shrimp that you can find in the market, small and red, not fresh at all. I can sure those shrimp are were dead for a long time before they had frozen. I know it is because I have allergic reaction to not fresh seafood. However after trying almost every poke in oc I think this is the best. read more

Poke Dot - Salmon and shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a good poke place down the street from my job, so I come here for lunch sometimes. Get here early or you'll be stuck waiting a long time in line... The prices are a little high--I've dropped 30 on two large bowls before, pretty easily. They don't charge extra for extra crab, so might as well get that to alleviate the feeling of overpaying. They do charge extra for masago though, which is a bummer. I usually get 2 tuna, 2 salmon, 1 albacore over salad. Double avocado, double crab, seaweed salad, masago, edamame, Wasabi, and other various toppings depending on my mood. For sauces I do recommend half ponzu half house mild or half cilantro half house mild for more tanginess. The quality isn't bad. The ingredients are pretty fresh and the fish is good. Again, just remember to get there early. The lunch rush is real. 4.2/5. Is this the best of the best? No. Is it great? Yes. read more

Very fast and good portions. Small is just as good as medium. Parking is sometimes a little hectic depending on lunch rush but there is parking in the back. read more

This is the BEST poke I've had so far! I hadn't been here in more than a year and it still holds its place on the top for me. Staff was friendly and helpful read more

I have been to many Poke places across California and this one ranks as probably the best I have ever been to! My cousin took me here as she works close by and she swore it was the best poke ever--- she wasn't lying! The poke here is FANTASTIC and is probably the freshest I have ever had. Before I get into more details, let's just break down the location and service here. This poke place is located in a VERY busy shopping center off MacArthur and is usually packed to the brim during lunch time. They even have rails outside and special designated spots since the demand is crazy here. It's mostly office workers that come here as they are on their lunch break, so they know that have to meet the demands of their clientele. The service is usually great here and the lines move fast. Just be prepared to wait if you come here for lunch! Anyway, I will continue by saying that the food here is fantastic. The spicy tuna and salmon are usually my favorite proteins to add for a poke bowl and the ones here are amazing! I also add brown rice to my bowl and mixed greens along with typical veggies and toppings that go on a poke bowl. Their sauces here are also fantastic including their spicy mayo! So good! The portions here are big and while the bowl doesn't look too big, by the time you're halfway through, you don't realize how big the portion was! You could easily get by with just "two scoops" of protein instead of the bigger portion, unless you're super hungry! I will end this review by stating that the poke here at Poke Dot is outstanding and definitely the best I have ever been to in California at a fast casual restaurant. While I am sure there are better places, for the price, you really can't beat this place! It's fantastic and moderately priced! Just be forewarned that it gets crazy packed here during lunch time and expect to wait! The demand is crazy and parking can be an issue here as well! Anyway, I absolutely love this place and will continue to come here if I'm in the area! Highly recommended! read more

Ok this is officially my second favorite poke spot based on taste/freshness! I came at lunch time, and it was really crowded, since it's located near a lot of office buildings. The line was the longest I've ever waited for poke, but it went by quick-they even have fences outside for the line-it gets that long I guess! It's pretty much your standard poke place, but they have wraps, chips as a base option, and dessert. Also, avocado is NOT extra which is always a plus! A 3-scoop bowl is around $10, but their scoops are generous, so the portion is worth the price. I especially liked the shrimp (it's fresh and "meatier") and the tofu (they cut it in front of you, so it's not all crumbly). I had one bad piece of salmon in my bowl that I had to spit out because I couldn't chew it, but it was fresh and melted in my mouth. My bowl was the perfect, healthy lunch; the only thing I didn't like was that the sauce all seeped to the bottom, so my last bites were over-powerful. I recommend the cilantro sauce-I was a little weirded out because it was brown, probably because it had soy sauce or something-I thought it was going to be a creamier base. Their service is very organized and quick-one person per "station/step". I did feel a little rushed by the server when I reached the toppings station because they asked me if I wanted certain toppings and I had to quickly answer yes/no. read more

Poke Dot - Regular size-great portion and super yummy - Seafood Near Me - Irvine, California

I really enjoyed this poke not only because of the taste but also because I was able to get all the toppings I wanted! There are a lot of poke places that limit your toppings, and this is one is not it. Go ahead and choose all the toppings your heart desires. Also, I ordered a small which came with 2 scoops of protein, but over here they gave me 4 scoops! So a small was definitely was enough to fill me. I am so happy I found this spot. The workers a very nice as well. I will definitely be back when I'm in town again. read more

First timer, I went on a date here. It was delicious! I couldn't even eat the whole bowl. They were very generous with their offerings and advised me on what I should get. Definitely will be back again. read more
