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

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

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

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

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

So much food for such great value, especially compared to mainland-style poke spots. The ratio of poke to rice is fantastic, and so is the quality of the fish. So this is not like most poke places on the mainland where you choose multiple scoops of fish and vegetables and mix it in sauce to top your rice. This poke is Hawaiian poke, which is primarily tuna poke that has been marinated prior and is served to you usually by the pound and served with plain rice. I tried their Chili Garlic, Spicy Mayo, Basic Spicy and Fresh Ginger. My favorite by far is the fresh ginger. The ginger flavor is not overwhelming, and it compliments the flavors of the tuna perfectly!! I also got their mac salad, which I was unfortunately not a huge fan of. It had a very fragrant aroma of macadamia nuts, which I was not used to. Next time, I would like to try their salmon and tako (octopus) as well. They also have a wide variety of Hawaiian snacks, like musubi and li-hing sweets. 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

We wanted some poke and was too far from our go to Jus Poke. We got the spicy salmon and shoyu poke bowl. The fish didn't seem fresh and was overly sauced. The service wasn't that pleasant, the employee that took our order wasn't that helpful or friendly. If you buy a drink, be aware they don't have ice or cups, so the drinks are only as cold as the temp of the display fridge. The restaurant has plenty of parking, no seating outside or inside, so it's a grab and go. We probably won't be coming here again. I hate giving bad reviews, but felt the need to here. Best of luck to the business. read more

Was interested in trying Poke Etc after seeing some videos online promoting the San Diego location. I thought I'd give this location a try, but it was definitely a mistake. Service was among the worst I've experienced recently. The girl sitting there was stone cold. I probably would have gotten more hospitality or emotion from an automated machine. In some cases, I'm able to brush aside bad service if the food is good. Unfortunately, that was not the case here either. Ordered the spicy mayo and chili garlic poke. The quality and texture of the fish was so off putting. It's clear they use lower quality frozen fish. The texture was that of something that was frozen and not thawed properly. The flavors were bland and uninteresting. Chili garlic flavor just tasted strongly of sambal and all the seeds made it annoying to eat. Would not recommend this place at all. Poor service, low quality fish, no redeeming qualities. read more

Omg, huge scoops of poke! But that's all you get with rice & little seaweed. The fish is really fresh. I liked the ginger poke. Fresh & clean, not much sauce. The Shoyu was in sauce, good. I also asked for 1/4 lb of the Cali poke, it had mayo & other stuff (imitation crab?) not my jam. Cute little shop with various island snacks & gifts. Great value for the quality & quantity. read more

Got the ahi poke bowl. Compared to any other poke you'll find out here, this is the best around. For the same price (lower, actually) you get a proper amount of poke, no shitty little ice cream scoop involved. Great flavor too. Just for that, 10/10 in my book. Will be returning. read more

A great place to get quick togo poke! This place is known for having authentic Hawaiian poke flavors. When I first discovered this place the poke used to be amazing, but lately it's been a hit or miss, due to the quality of the poke everytime I go nowadays. The poke quality used to be very good, but now lately it's been kind of rubbery. Not this last time I went thankfully but the past ones before has been. Nonetheless, if you're a person that doesn't care about fish quality then this place would still be really great! The flavors they offer are all so good and delicious. I chose the spicy mayo and oyster (which are mainly my go to), but I've also tried the cali and ahi kimi which are also great too. You can get 1 flavor with a regular size and 2 flavors with a large, which also comes with the smallest cup of seaweed salad i've ever seen. The promote the large like you're going to get a decent portion, but really give you about 2-3 SMALL bites worth of seaweed salad. Rice plates are also sold here with other Hawaiian snacks, ingredients, etc. Service can be kind, but also can be nonchalant or like a hurry up and get out type of vibe, but I get it, it's an in and out type of place I'm not trying to stay long either. Ambiance is cute. It feels like how those little poke shacks are in Hawaii. Don't expect any tables because there are none. This is strictly togo!!!! Overall, still got love for this place but I can see it slowly go downhill. read more

My absolute favorite place to get poke. Smaller shop, and I can't seem to find another location outside of Carson. They also have combos with Filipino food, but I go here mainly for the poke. They give generous servings, and their style of poke feels more authentic and flavorful in comparison to their chain/corporate poke counterparts. The Create Your Own Poke Bowl comes with steamed rice and a small seaweed salad too. Just as a note, it's more of a to-go place (no inside seating) so I often pick up my order and eat it in a park to enjoy the meal. A must-visit if you go to Carson! read more

Okay so this has been my go to spot since 2023, because I used to work in the area. my last two visits within the last 3 months were disappointing BUT Today I decided not to go with my usual, the hawaiian cali, and instead I got the spicy mayo and i'm glad I did because this was the poke i'm used to eating from here. Even the homegirl at the counter who always got an attitude told me "have a nice day",so i'm hoping they get the hawaiian cali flavor back to the way it taste but until then spicy mayo is still pretty good. read more

Flavors changed recently and are bland af now. You know that episode of Fairly Odd Parents where everyone turns into a grey blob? That's what the poke flavors be like now. The creativity and individuality feels wished away.... The service is koo, they always nice and the QUALITY of the fish is always good but the new poke flavors and consistency are so terrible to me. I inquired within and was told new recipes came along with new management.? Can't bring myself to go anymore lol. -Used- to be solid. -Used- to be my favorite spot for years. -Used- to go here 3-4 times a week after working out nearby. Now I'm wishing it was how it used to be...but I just keep seeing a grey blob... (That's a callback to the Fairly Odd Parents analogy in the first paragraph.... Season 1 episode 12 for ref...) read more

I've frequented this place so often because it's right next to my house. The poke/hot foods have always been so good, great portions, and great service! However, my recent visits have been disappointing. The pictures are about a year apart. I'm not sure if they changed their recipes but I can only assume with the drastic change in look. I understand inflation is insane, but these pictures could be from two different poke places. The Hawaiian Cali doesn't hit like it used to. The portion size is also drastically tragic. Prices have gone up and poke portions have gone down. This makes me not want to return. read more

i've come here a handful of times and the puck is really fresh. You can't you can't go wrong with most of the choices that are there. Anything you pick will be really good service is kind of weird here so there's two servers like there's one lady that will serve your food and there is another lady that will ring you up and the lady that serves you is very nice. The lady that rings you up is really cold. she's like super cold unfriendly but the prices are so good here. I really don't even care and the poke has really good here which is pretty much what I'm here for so I mean between the balance and service. I'd rather pick the price. The price is excellent here and I mean there's nowhere to eat inside the restaurant there's assortment of things you can pick pick from and it's just like basically to go like you're not here to stay to eat. The place seems pretty clean so if you wanna come here, just get your food to go and then head home. read more

I love the simplicity of Poke Etc. Good quality poke - deli style. No extra toppings or fancy sides. No customizable poke bowls. About 8 flavors of pre-marinated tuna. Purchase by weight (a la carte) or choose a poke bowl/combo option with a scoop of rice topped with furikake rice seasoning and your choice of poke. Hawaiian breakfast and lunch plates are also available. We stuck with poke and got the Ahi Limu and Ginger Shoyu. Both were fantastic. My favorite was the ginger shoyu. Definitely coming back. read more

It's been a minute since I've been here since work moved, but man the service has gone bad. The lady helping really didn't care to be there. No greeting, no smile and I asked for a 3rd sample and she said "again" in Tagalog again like I didn't understand her. Really disappointing... I did still get the combo because the food is delicious and fresh, I also like their vigan langonisa breakfast... The younger kids that used to work there should come back because this lady would really put off people who haven't had the food before... I do like supporting small business but I still believe in good customer service. read more

I've been to Hawaii a few times and love their poke and I'm so happy to have come across Poke Etc because it's spot on to the poke in Hawaii! I got two flavors, ahi limu and oyster. Both were very delicious and fresh but I prefer ahi limu because it's mixed with seaweed. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic Hawaiian poke. read more

Love the portion size and the pricing! Always the spot for my poke fix! Friendly service and easy parking!

I hate to leave a negative review but this was the worst quality fish I have had at a poke spot. Maybe it's just the day I went. I'm not sure if it wasn't stored or thawed properly but I never had ahi be this dry texture. I ended up throwing it away because the fish quality really threw me off. I got limu and shoyu. Maybe the spicy mayo or ones coated in more sauce would be better to cover up the fish. I might be 808 spoiled but There are better spots in the area for authentic Hawaiian poke. Good for the price? but I probably wouldn't return. read more

The poke here is GREAT! It all tastes very fresh, very flavorful, lots of variety. The staff is so kind, very helpful with everything we had to ask. Very quiet since there isn't a place to sit down and eat but no worries! Can eat in your car or at home and it tastes just as great. read more

I usually stop by Poki Etc to order 1/2 pound of spicy mayo salmon on Sundays. Food is good here. Prices are reasonable. However, the staff on Sundays don't seem too happy (they don't smile when you walk in). And what surprised me today was that they were out of Soy sauce. I don't understand how you could out of soy sauce in a poki place? But if you don't care about a smile or soy sauce...stop in for a bite. read more

Coworker came here, so I tagged along and got a 1/2 lb of Hawaii Cali poke. It was fresh and delicious. I ate some with my Trader Joe's garlic chili oil. Bomb.

Poke Etc is unique in that it offers a more authentic-style Hawaiian poke, without all the extra frills and toppings. You get your rice and a plethora of poke flavors to choose from. The poke here is super fresh and yummy!! And the portions are good for the price you're paying. They have so many flavors; so far I've tried: *Shoyu: a classic flavor, you can't go wrong this this one *Sweet & spicy: good, but definitely more sweet than spicy *Chili garlic: my personal fav, would recommend if you're looking for something spicier Overall, I'm definitely coming back to try out their other poke flavors. Would highly recommend. read more

Got the Hawaiian cali and it had absolutely no flavor I think this establishment got new owners .. I usually get spicy may but it looked bright red orange and went a different route ... you have been warned the flavors are not the same as last year read more

Poke Etc has THE best poké that is extremely similar to poke in Hawaii. It doesn't have all the added extra toppings that the poke bowls craze has and just contains the raw fish, furikake seasoned rice with seaweed on top. I ordered the chili garlic flavor, which had a very strong taste, you could definitely taste the garlic in there and the chili was spicier than I expected! I also liked how there was white onion slices in there. Poke includes tuna in it, and it costs a little extra to get salmon. I want to come back again and try other flavors. I've never seen a poke place have as many flavor options as they do. They also have other items on their menu, including specials and plate lunches. There's construction going on in the parking lot plaza they're in. The inside of the take out place isn't too fancy or decorated but it's not necessary since it's a grab and go place! read more

They also halved their portions recently, the containers are now half the size and they didn't give me the usual seaweed salad.

Came here for lunch today while working nearby. I have been to this spot a few times before, typically for their poke. They were never the friendliest, but the food usually made up for it. Not today. Came in and asked for the tako special poke they had advertised. The lady yelled "not available" at me and walked away. I waited for a bit, then when she came back, got the octopus but received mostly mushrooms and ginger. The flavor was overwhelmingly ginger. I ate most of the rice and picked out the three pieces of octopus. Not sure this was worth $15, don't think I'll be back. 3 stars based on good experience before. read more
