    Poke nachos

    Poke was fishy and not fresh at all. I should've known by the color of all the poke. I'm from hawaii so I'm disappointed by the quality of the poke because the menu looked promising

    Russ L.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Quick service and fair portions! Plenty of flavor options; I always go for the spicy mayo but Hawaiian Cali is good too! Small shop but they also sell Filipino and Hawaiian goodies.

    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!!!!

    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.

    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..

    Snacky time for cuz. They had a decent selection. The place was clean & well organized. We got SPICY MAYO AHI to go. It was decent. I was not a fan of the smell of the poke to go or the place.

    Over priced, there are much better poke restaurants around. Don't waste time going here. Every condiments you ask, they charge extra.

    I have been trying to call to ask if you are open on Thursday, 11/24/22?

    Sadly like many other businesses that are privately owned small food businesses, they will either have a full inbox 24/7 or completely ignore calls. it's not ideal but has become the norm unfortunately

    Is this open?

    This place is definitely open. They're only closed Sundays.

The same thing happened on our second visit, and we were honestly heartbroken. However, Sunny (I think that was his name) went above and beyond to make sure we still got to experience their food. He kindly gave us samples of the Spam musubi and fried chicken to take home. That's 100% top-notch customer service right there! Since then, we've returned twice more with friends, and the food has been absolutely amazing. The shrimp is hands-down my favorite, and the karaage chicken with the green sauce is super addictive. I also finally got to try the crispy Spam musubi, which was unique and delicious . We'll definitely keep coming back. In fact, I'm tempted to throw a party just so I have an excuse to cater from them! Even though they're located inside a food hall, you can take your food and enjoy it anywhere in The Enclave's spacious outdoor seating area, which makes it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a meal with friends.

The two items combo I tried, Cheehoo Teri chicken and shrimp, were both extremely saucy. Also, the plate was more than enough for two people. I appreciated the addition of the pickled onions which cut through all the fried, saucy food. The Mac salad was good but it had a ton of peppercorn on top. Didn't care for the POG refresher, it was super sweet and tasted like a candle. In all, I think this is a fun place to try and I would go back to try other items. But if you're looking for a classic Hawaiian plate lunch, just know this is untraditional as it comes with lots of embellishments.
