Poke Jaws - Poke Near Me - Vista, California

Ordered to go, fish is fresh octopus delicious, toppings are on point, sauces are and generous portion size!

Love the poke, the service, the prices here. Discovered this restaurant on a whim and gave it a shot a little while back. Was absolutely game changing so now I'm back. The sauces are so good, fish and toppings are fresh and overall bowl quality is amazing. Poke Jaws definitely stands out amongst other poke shops. Also love the various options available which makes this place incredibly friendly to different taste palettes.

Great value for what you get. The fish tasted fresh and all the toppings did too. My only complaint is that the Crab Salad is counted as a protein and not a topping like most other Poke places. The service was good and the tables were very clean. I will definitely be back. read more

Super good, very very clean, lots to choose from and the server was very personable. I was in and out of there on my lunch break. Definitely coming again. Spam Masubi hit the spot. read more

The restaurant itself is very clean and modern. I felt comfortable and relaxed as I ordered and ate. The restrooms were very clean and nice. The staff were super friendly, professional, fast, and willing to help. I ordered the Regular Poke Bowl which includes 3 proteins and 7 toppings of my choice. I found it unique that they offered marinated meats such as Garlic Salmon and Malibu Tuna; something that most poke joints don't do. The ingredients were fresh and tasted great. The marinated meat options added a nice touch to the whole dish, so I recommend trying the marinated options. The fish itself was not chewy, but rather tender and melted in my mouth which is what I expected. The rice was cooked perfectly and didn't taste old. The toppings were refreshing as well. They do pack a lot into the container, so if you are just wanting a quick bite then maybe go with a Small Poke Bowl. Overall, great experience and great food. They offer a great variety of proteins as well as toppings. Although they pack a lot into the bowl, I was left filling full, but not sluggish nor feeling sick. Poke Jaws is the best poke joint I have been to in SD county so far. To my knowledge, no military nor first responder discount offered. read more

My experience here at Poke Jaws is pretty limited. But, what little I've seen, I don't hate. Came here to grab my son a Poke Bowl after getting a car wash nearby. The interior is clean, their bar is well stocked and maintained, with a great look and decor. They have a nice selection of proteins, including shrimp and scallops along with the expected tuna and salmon. Toppings include avocado, seaweed salad, additional scoops of protein, macaroni salad, masago, and even unconventional selections like chestnuts, banana peppers, and kidney beans. About mu only gripe with what you can pile onto your bowl, would be the added charge if you decide to use your protein/topping choices to get multiple scoops of the same thing. For instance, extra masago, crab salad, or avocado could run you an extra $1 for each scoop. This can make even small bowls rack up the cost for people who prefer limited palette choices. This made my son's Regular Bowl (three proteins and 7 toppings) break the bank when all he wanted was salmon and crab salad. Regardless, he liked his dinner. And we both liked the Spam and Salamon Musubi. I will definitely try to come back here in the future to try the poke on my own. read more

This poke spot is in the same space as one that had been there previously (Lemon Shark, maybe?) It is plenty spacious and nice and modern. The employees were a bit gruff, but gave me a few samples of the different salmon options before making a decision. They were very generous with the toppings, sauce, etc. I'm sure the fish had been previously frozen, but it was good enough. The toppings were fresh and yummy. read more

Poke Jaws - 4 protein poke - Poke Near Me - Vista, California

I have a secret and I really don't want to share it but this place deserves your attention. I am a poke fanatic. When I say I love Poke, I eat poke almost once a week and have tried most of the poke places in north county and along the San Diego coast. I am DEAD serious. This place has the most fresh fish and fresh ingredients. No weird smells when you walk into the shop (ahem Poke 1/2 San Marcos). Mixed greens never wilted. Service is insanely fast. Im talking faster than you placing an order at the front of an in & out line fast. The cost is shockingly reasonable that I don't know if I'm being punk'd. I love this place and dream about it so, so, so often. The people are wonderful and know how to give you good portions. I've also had their edamame, spam musubis, chicken teriyaki, cooked salmon bowl. IT IS ALL soooo good. Poke jaws, thank you for coming into our lives. I don't want people to know about you bc it's my favorite local hidden gem but people deserve to eat AMAZING poke. Keep doing you boo boo read more

This place was just so good. I drove out of my way during work just to check it out, and it was 100% worth it. As soon as I walked in, the employees were very polite and friendly. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the vibe. I got a big plate and absolutely devoured it. All the fish and toppings were super fresh, the sauces were crazy good (and perfectly spicy how I like it), and the whole thing just hit the spot. I kept thinking, "Why don't I live closer?!" Prices were way better than I expected for how much food you get and how good it is. Honestly felt like a steal. If you were thinking about trying Poke Jaws, just go. You won't regret it. read more

A gem in the rough. Quality Poke with creativity. Combos and 1,2,3,4 proteins... I got the tuna salmon garlic 2 protein. I bet they had 8-10 to choose from. Great spread with large portions. I will be back! Dine in or to go. I was alone at 5:10pm on a Thursday. Let's keep this place going! I think you'll agree. One of the better Poke places in north county if not California. read more

Excellent pole. The best poke we ever had. The fish is very fresh and the sauces are well balanced. There is a mastery in making poke that is a cut above. I can't put my finger on what is different, but this place did know how to make it a cut above. The portions are generous. My husband and I each had a large poke after a day of Legoland with kids. We took it back to our hotel and we were so pleased with our choices. You cannot go wrong. I had the raw salmon and raw tuna, scallop and crab meat, with all the toppings. Fantastic taste. read more

Genuinely the best spot in all of north county! Has been my go to for a couple years since i moved down here. They always has the cleanest fresh cuts of fish, tons of toppings with a huge list of sauces and marinated poké how it should be! Best two guys who run the place always the best service and they remember all their consumers. Great ambiance with an outdoor patio outside and welcoming interior. 100/10 recommend! read more

Poke Jaws - LARGE POKE BOWL (4 PROTEINS) - Poke Near Me - Vista, California

TBH ordered because there were some great reviews on here. Had to add that it was so mid. The fish was alright, the add ons were yummy but the rice ruined it all. Terribly hard, felt like day old rice left out or something. Ew. Would not order again. read more

Consistently good. Simple and quick to order and sit outside or inside. Would recommend for a quick lunch

This spot is definitely a sleeper. Probably the best poke spot I've been to in North county the portions are pretty good and the price isn't bad. I definitely like the different Salmon and tuna options they have. I highly recommend this spot if you're close to the area. Service was good and the place was pretty spacious read more

I was hopeful, but the fish didn't taste super fresh. Lots of toppings offered for a standard price and friendly service. Ok experience but wouldn't try again. read more

This place is so good! Their pricing is pretty standard but their selection of topping is great. They have an assorted amount of fish and fish with sauce already mixed. Fresh veggies and so many sauces to choose from! Always delicious, always fresh. Hope this place sticks around read more

Very sad to see lemon shark was replaced with this establishment. 3 limited toppings and 3 limited sauce. I would pay extra to have all the toppings needed to make a good poke bowl but they cap you at 3. Flavors and ingredients not up to par. Waste of time and money. read more

Great food with lots of choices. Large portions for a great price. Everything is clean and i live going here. My mouth salivate at the thought of Poke Jaws! Om num num! read more

The poke was okay but the guy who made my bowl barely wanted to answer my questions as a new customer. Then he proceeded to cut up the avocado with his bare hands without wearing gloves and I felt grossed out. There should be strict rules on sanitation especially dealing with raw fish and sides. I didn't see him wash his hand before or after I ordered either. I just took the order but I would not come back. read more

Good portions and good choices. Fish tasted fresh and the person helping me was super nice and helpful. Great location too at the beginning of the long Palomar Airport Rd from San Marcos. read more

Poke Jaws - REGULAR POKE BOWL (3 PROTEINS) - Poke Near Me - Vista, California

Lots of protein choices. I got a fish in a creamy sauce which was absolutely delicious, spicy tuna and shrimp. I got it over greens with spicy mayo and spicy ponzu, and I loved it. There were several toppings to choose from. You were allowed 7 with the size I got with 3 types of protein. I got tomatoes, cucomber, seaweed, tangerines, and ginger. I also got a dry crispy topping. I highly recommend this place and will return. This is a new favorite for me. read more

WOWOWOW !! This place was SO good! I was in the plaza planning to eat somewhere else, but saw this place was new and recently opened so decided to try it out! The restaurant was really nice, clean, and spacious- there's indoor and outdoor seating with lots of tables and seats. The have a large fish selection and DID NOT skimp on the portions; like they use the BIG spoons and aren't shy. They also have a lot of toppings and sauces. You need to come hungry because, again, the portions are big; so you definitely will get your money's worth. My bowl tasted flavorful and refreshing. The two workers behind the bar were efficient and really nice as well. One of them even checked in on me as I was leaving, which I really appreciated! It was a wonderful dining experience! People say food heals the soul and this really did that for me today. Will absolutely come back and you should too! read more

I was actually on my way to a different place and I saw this place and decided to stop and grab a snack, I lived in Hawaii for almost a decade and I always love spam musubi. I ordered a couple and got a side of that chipotle mayo. These musubi were the best I've had since I left Hawaii, just like I remember them! And then dipping them in the sauce just was next level! So good! read more

I'm incredibly picky when it comes to poke bowls and boy did Poke Jaws deliver. I wish I could upload a photo of my salmon + ahi bowl but I devoured it too quickly.

My fiancé has gone to Poke Jaws for his lunch breaks and this is the first time for me to come to this restaurant. Super clean inside the restaurant as well as outside seating. The guy was patient while we chose our poke and we each decided to do 3 protein and a side of rice. I was surprised that you get to choose 10 toppings! Most other poke bowls are much less than that. Reasonable pricing and the guy was super patient while I decided which of my 10 toppings were (when really I chose 5. Amazing service and we enjoyed sitting outside. definitely my top poke place in Vista! read more

Best poke I've ever had, generous portions, excellent service, and the upbeat music made the atmosphere so nice :)

Poke Jaws - 3 protein with all 12 toppings! - Poke Near Me - Vista, California

The other day I came here for spam masubi which was very yummy. Then I told my boyfriend about it and saw their menu and all the fresh options. A week later, today, we showed up and realized they were closing in 5 minutes. They are so sweet here and let us in to order our food and they treated us with so much kindness that you just don't find anywhere else these days. We paid and left quickly smiling and very excited to go home and eat. Let me tell you...the seared salmon bowls are amazing! I am so happy to have found this place. Amazing service, clean atmosphere, and such kindness! Thank you read more

Great little poke spot, I agree with the good reviews. Very clean and they were very friendly
