I have been going to this Poke spot since I was in middle school and oh my gosh I would be so sad if it ever were to go. I have tried all of their poke flavors but my go to has to be the Ahi (tuna) & Salmon! The fish tastes fresh but also not fishy which I love!! They also aren't stingy on the furikake flakes! They have other options as well such as rice plates, spam, egg, chicken katsu etc! Also don't forget to grab a drink! Side dish options are not a problem because they have so many! I always get a side of picked daicon or seaweed salad Parking: 8/10 (next to a middle school and lot is shared amongst the stores in the plaza) Food: 10/10 Service 10/10 (workers are always so friendly and are QUICK read more

I wish I saw the other person reviews from 6 days ago who also delat with the sngry girl eith glasse ( i assume her name is Joyce bc her name was on the receipt). I took pics of the poke as I was waiting for my friend to tell me what she wanted. I asked the cashier for a sample of the ginger and she gave me one. I then ordered for myself a pound of ginger poke. When I asked the cashier for more time she seemed annoyed, mind you there was only one other person and she was waiting for her friend to call back because she also was doing the same and waiting for a text based upon pictures. The cashier acted annoyed that the both of us were waiting for text before finalizing our order. Meanwhile? I had asked for another sample of the oyster but she curtly told me that there's only one sample per person (this should have been posted). The cashier Joyce was unpleasant in her demeanor and didn't bother to say thank you for your purchase and I had to request for a receipt of the over $40 worth of poe I had just made. Even if the poke blows me away, the angry demeanor of your cashier left a sour taste in my mouth and I will be taking my money to other establishments where the greet you with a smile and seem grsteful for your business such as Auntie Mailies, Alii, Jus Poke or if in OC Ai Pono or Kawamoto. read more

If you want authentic Hawaiian style poke with a taste of Filipino influence, please come to Poke Etc. Having been a Carson staple for years, all the friends and family I have recommended this place to always mention Poke Etc when coming from afar, which tells you how good this place is. I love getting the poke bowl (one poke option + rice with furikake seasoning), generally choosing spicy mayo tuna or ahi limu tuna. Their breakfast plates are great as well, but for quick service, come for the poke bowl/plate. read more

Yeah honestly, I used to rave about this place but my recent experience today was a letdown. The cashier with glasses was very dismissive and made me feel unwelcomed. She seemed annoyed when I asked what was in the cali poke when I couldn't hear her the first time. It's a simple question and she just didn't seem friendly at all. Also after looking at the photos on how much poke they used to give vs what I got today was sad in comparison. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else that gives you better service and portioning that doesn't leave you disappointed. read more

Came on a weekday during lunch and there were a few people in line. No one came to take our order for awhile so I was a little confused. A person came up and took like 5 orders at once and made all the bowls. I got the salmon shoyu poke bowl and it was pretty good. The fish had a nice texture but some parts were a little too salty for me. I wish they had more salmon options because I think there was only 2. They had a so many good sounding tuna options tho!! Definately a to go place they have no seating inside. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I must say they are the only one that are very close to authentic Hawaiian style poke. Fresh and delicious. The Kama'aina Plate with lau lau & kalua pork with fresh Ginger Poke. The lau lau is a little salty, but the meat was tender. Kalua Pork was so moist and juicy. The Poke was as close to oyster sauce style as I could get. Mini cubes were nice and fresh. they only had a couple with that white connective tissue. Took a pic of their Musubi lineup but did not buy any. But I've noticed that the service has gone down lately. The new worker just doesn't have the warmth and welcoming attitude that the previous workers. There are a couple of stools if you want to eat in, but most are takeout orders. read more

The poke is always the best. This place is among the top places for poke. I only get poke by the pound, so as a plate I won't know how it would be. They have a lot of flavors to choose from and I haven't had one that was bad. I'm always getting the spicy tuna and that has always been the best one for me. read more

Came last week & the value is good for the price but the shoyu tuna didn't have much flavor & didn't taste as fresh as the other flavors. The rice was also more on the dry/rough texture which is not to my tasting read more

Poke Etc - Shoyu tuna & mayo tuna - Hawaiian Near Me - Carson, California

Poke Etc is the spot for fresh poke and they never disappoint. This has been my favorite place since their Cerritos location. There's no seating available at the restaurant, so we had to take everything to go, but it was still just as good. We got the Hawaiian Cali, our all-time favorite, with shoyu salmon and spicy mayo. The shoyu salmon was a little too salty for my liking but still tasty, and the spicy mayo had a really good kick to it. The serving was also very generous, which made it even more satisfying. read more

Have to update because of recent experiences. Giving them 3 Stars. Always fresh Poke. This is the bowl almost same as a plate. Love that it's a quick spot for fresh Poke. Customer Service is not out of this world just ok. It's not a sit and dine place. Don't like that they close their doors before posted closing hour of 6pm. By the time I get here after work it will be 5:30-5:45pm and they are CLOSED! This has happened on too many occasions. But I still come back. Giving 3 Stars because they close before their closing time. read more

We asked for a sample as we are not sure which ones to purchase. Flat out we were told NO. Prior to that, we checked online if Poke Etc gives sample to try. The lady behind the counter who wears glasses has her own policy I guess. We even drove far. Well, I was told the food is good but I'll take my business elsewhere. Sad coz I thought I found our spot. read more

Be advised everywhere online and even the SIGN on the front door says they close at 5pm. Arrived exactly at 4:25pm and they turned us away stating they closed at 4:30pm. Maybe update your hours online or post a sign that's actually accurate! read more

Great service fast and friendly staff pokey was OK pretty fresh. Close by locally in Carson whenever you need your poke bowl fix hit it up.

Its a quite testaurant in the plaza but service is not that great and food is good.just to go only

Aunties are quick and nice. Environment clean enough. In and out service. Food fresh. Been going for years

I've been coming to Poke Etc. for about 4 years, and the food has always been fire. Not gonna lie, a few months ago it felt like it was losing a little flavor, but they definitely made a comeback. The spicy mayo poke is my favorite, along with the kimchi tako and the spam musubi. The service is solid -- the people are cool, some are more talkative than others, but always chill. This spot is small, but that's what makes it special. Only real poke heads know about it. I love it here!!!! read more

4/5 Customer Service, the young lady charging was nice and welcoming. 4/5 Store Cleanliness 2/5 Flavor and quality of food Had the combo plate with 2 different Poke's (Spicy Mayo Salmon and Sweet and Spicy Tuna) and added Mac on the side. First off the seaweed salad that comes with it was warm. I ate maybe 3 min after leaving the store, so no reason for that to be that warm, decided to just throw away. The spicy Mayo salmon poke was just okay, the fish tastes pretty good, not the freshest I've had and the sweet and spicy tuna was just bland... nothing sweet or spicy about it. The Mac salad was also bland. All together the total was a little over $22.00 Unfortunately, stomach isn't feeling too good after eating. Not sure if I'll be trying again. Maybe came on an off day.. read more

I've always been the type to only get the California Rolls at a sushi place and when I felt a little adventurous I would get the occasional rainbow roll, so I came into Poke Etc. with a coworker with not much expectation of getting anything. As soon as the nice employee gave me a sample of the California poke, I was HOOKED. The poke was nice and fresh had an amazing flavor! Definitely coming back to try the others soon! read more

A coworker recommended Poke Etc, and I have not stopped going ever since. It is clean, quick and simple. It is take-out only. I usually get the Poke bowl, which tastes really fresh. They have different food items on the menu and many snacks and other things at the store. Menu prices are reasonable. It is near my workplace, but I even take the drive when I am not working and feel like eating Poke. read more

Aloha Auina La Happy Saturday Today I was Ono for some laulau and only one place came to mind. Poke Etc! I ordered the Kamaaina Plate (rice, Kalua Pig, laulau, and your choice of poke) with Shoyu Ahi and a pound of Shoyu Ahi for the house. There is no place to dine in so everything is to go. I took my order and went to my car, only to find it blocked in by Police and a tow truck. So, lunch was in my car. The Poke was fresh and let me say every time I come the fish is always fresh, the reason for the four s is because they don't leave enough sauce to marinate the fish in. I had to ask for more Shoyu. The Rice, Kalua Pig & Cabbage, and the Laulau were excellent, cooked to perfection, and delicious if you're interested and in the neighborhood, stop by and support the business! The food and service is excellent Mahalo Mui A Hui Ho Malama Pono read more

Authentic Hawaiian style poke in the South Bay! I've been here a few times now and I love the poke here. I will say it's not the highest quality ahi (tuna) but the flavors and sauces that it's marinated in are so good! I usually go for the Create Your Own Plate ($13.95) which comes with two scoops of rice, up to two flavors of poke, and a small side of seaweed salad. My favorite flavors are the Spicy Mayo and Ginger. The spicy mayo is the perfect amount of spice and I love the white onions and green onions that are mixed into it. The ginger is also so flavorful and it's nice that they offer it here because it's hard to find on the mainland. It's a small little shop and more of a takeout spot. The service for the poke is quick since they scoop them out of the display fridge. The portions are huge, and you definitely get your money's worth! They also have some Hawaiian snacks for sale if you'd like. Overall, great flavors and portions! read more

My friends and I were headed to Huntington for a beach day and decided to stop by since we love Hawaiian poke. I was thrilled by all the flavor options... honestly wanted to try them all, but ended up choosing two: sweet & spicy and ahi limu. Both were super fresh and flavorful! I also grabbed a musubi, which was absolutely delicious. This place is definitely a gem. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. If you're craving poke, this spot is a must! read more

ok poke. small shop with no seating. the workers were very welcoming and helpful when i couldn't decide what to choose. a lot of my friends recommended me this place but there was nothing special about the poke for me... it was just average. read more

A Splash of Freshness! If you're on the hunt for poke that will make you question all your past lunch choices, look no further than Poke Etc.! First off, the fish here is fresher than a morning breeze. I'm pretty sure their fish swam in the ocean just minutes before landing in my bowl! Now, let's talk about the flavors. My absolute favorites are the Hawaiian Cali. Seriously, the kimchi is so delicious that it could probably start its own fan club. And don't even get me started on the spicy garlic--it's the flavor equivalent of a confetti cannon going off in your mouth. Who knew a bowl of fish could be this exciting? As for the portions, they're generous enough that I love them...and also hate them (because how am I supposed to resist finishing every.last.bite?). One moment I'm thinking, "Wow, I'm getting such a great deal!" and the next, I'm rolling out of there plotting my next workout! The ambiance? It's a quaint little family-operated spot that feels like home--if your home was filled with delicious fish and only had two seats! But hey, that just means you can grab your poke to-go and chow down in the comfort of your own sofa (the only other family member that truly gets you). So if you're craving fresh, tasty poke with portion sizes that will have you feeling both excited and slightly guilty, Poke Etc. is the place to be. Just remember to bring your appetite and maybe a friend to share those delicious vibes even if they have to sit outside! read more

First time here today. To be very honest, not the best flavor. I got oyster flavor and when they made it all they did was put a bunch of oyster sauce on top. Smh...got the shoyu one as well thinking it would be as good as other places but to my surprise lacking flavor and the tuna seemed like it wasn't fresh. Sorry but needs to be better. read more
