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

Food: - ahi and salmon plate: 8.5/10, perfect rice to fish ratio, free seaweed salad - Mac salad: pass next time, not flavorful at all, doesn't really taste like anything, lacks seasoning Service: - friendly staff - fast service Ambiance: - no seating - spacious lot 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

Eat from this location at least once a week. Great food and prices. I call in 10 minutes before heading over and it'll be ready by the time I arrive 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

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.

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

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 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

FANTASTIC FIX if you're craving poke like how they do it in Hawaii and don't want all those extra sides!! Very helpful staff! They offered samples and gave generous portions--makes it really a bang for your buck and reasonably priced. Very easy parking too, just no dine-in options. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time! read more

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

My friend introduced me to this place and I was pleasantly surprised! I got the poke bowl with sweet & spicy and shoyu poke and no complaints! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely want to check it out in person to try more :) read more

Ladies are really nice but their flavors are so inconsistent. Ever since the original staff left, it hasn't been the same. The original staff and flavors are now at Aloha Poke (down the street). read more

Im not mad at this place at all. I forgot the flavor that I got but I was impressed for sure. The taste and portion was super fair in my opinion. What I liked about this place is they didn't go crazy with anything and kept it very simple. Included was just the poke and rice. read more

Poor customer service, bad attitude, I sampled fresh ginger which they RAN OUT OF so I asked politely to sample another flavor to make my order AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED ON HOW SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANOTHER SAMPLE TO BE ABLE TO PLACE MY ORDER. She said no with such a bad attitude and I just walked out disappointed and angry of course! Never coming back. 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

The young girl with glasses who usually works here needs to brush up on her customer service skills. Every time I come in, it feels like I'm bothering her. I like it when the older aunties are working instead. They're a lot nicer. To the girl with glasses.. maybe work in the back? read more

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

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

This is my favorite pokey restaurant in Los Angeles, Hawaii style. I've been to a few poke places in Hawaii and none compared to this. I'm so grateful to have this restaurant near my work. 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

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

Was in the area and craving poke so I stopped by here for the first time..I got salmon poke. It was completely drenched with spicy mayo. Hard to taste the salmon when all I could taste is spicy mayo. I do love spicy mayo but it was over the top drenched lol. To top it off, it did give me a really upset stomach so maybe salmon wasn't fresh. Service was just ok. 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

Definitely the best poke spot that I've had in LA. The location is very small and hidden, so I'd consider it a hole in the wall food spot, but the poke is great. The customer service isn't that welcoming but they definitely make up for it with the food. I've tried most of the flavors they offer and loved almost every flavor. They offer other Filipino and Hawaiian foods as well. read more

Great service excellent flavor and authenticity!!! The feeling is like walking into ur own home, welcoming and comfortable

This used to be my poke spot. Back when I was pregnant and couldn't eat raw fish, I dreamed about this place. As soon as I could eat poke again, I came running! But man... things have changed. Prices went up, portions went down (thanks, inflation ). I get it, times are tough. But what really threw me off was the staff--kinda had an attitude. Maybe it was just a bad day, we all have them... but still. I ordered the ginger poke bowl, and honestly? It tasted like plain tuna sashimi--no flavor, no kick, not even a hint of soy sauce. I kept waiting for the flavor to show up... but it ghosted me. The fish was fresh, but flavor-wise? Major letdown. I might give it one more shot, but right now I'm feeling pretty bummed. Bring back the old poke magic, please! read more

This is a great place for Poke, my favorite is Cali Hawaiian! They tend to close early than posted we've gone 20 minutes early a few times and they were already closed, I believe closing is at 7 pm the parking lot gets packed and it's on a busy corner across from a jr high so traffic jams happen due to school schedules and being off the 110, still it is always yummy! And u get a good amount for the price, tiny inside they have a bench w a couple seats facing outwards but we always take it to go. read more
