Wow, I thought the price was a bit high ($16ish) for a regular bowl but it was very generous. Staff was friendly, although service was a bit slow. Parking is typical in Belmont Shore. Food tastes very fresh and flavorful too. Will come back if craving poke but probably going to get the kids option read more

Poke Pola is definitely the most confident 5 star review I have ever written. To start, the food is amazing. The fish is tender and fresh. It is easy to order,and the friendly staff is always there to help you order the right thing.

Good poke spot ! The guy working was super nice and friendly. They really had a heavy hand, so I'm giving them props for that cause normally at other poke places they tend to only put a little bit of toppings. But this place this was pretty solid. read more

Poke Pola - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

My favorite Poke Place in Long Beach! They are so nice, and it's always consistently delicious.

So fresh. So good. Parking is easyish on a weekday. All paid though. Service was fast. Would come back.

I've had Poke on 2nd before and it was amazing, clean, healthy, and the service was great but lastnight was different because I was with Jideena at Poke Pola on 2nd st! The first time I ate at Poke and had Poke was with my celeb photographer but lastnight I was with Jideena! You guys know his mainstream songs, Classic man ft Kendrick Lamar and Bambi as well as his new hits. Check this place out! Other than the good food the amazing vibes we shared here lastnight brought my dreams right into reality. Can't wait to see what's to come! read more

I've been coming here for years and it's has been my favorite poke place ever! Everything is fresh and delicious. It's my treat when I come to Belmont Shore! read more

delicious, friendly service, clean and plenty of street parking. Also this is near my home.

Great poke in Long Beach! We ordered 4 bowls for takeout, and they were all packed full with exactly what we ordered. The toppings are limitless and delicious. Their fish was so fresh, we remarked on how it tasted sushi grade. I would definitely return. This is my favorite poke place I've found in the area! read more

WOW. FRESH, clean, carefully selected ingredients EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been here! I'm obsessed with this poke place; I always feel satisfied with the portion and HEALTHY after eating here. It's definitely contributed to my new healthier diet and I'm so grateful I'm only two blocks away. The actual kitchen is right behind the counter so you will usually see an older gentleman or women slicing some type of vegetable or concocting some type of secret house soy sauce (all of the house made sauces are excellent). The fact you can see how meticulous the staff is with cleanliness and proper protocol of how to handle fish is awesome. There are no secret back areas where you can't see what you're eating; it's all in front of you. The toppings offered are avocado, crabmeat, seaweed salad (Yum! I can't find this anywhere!!!) edamame, cilantro, sesame seeds, maseago, and a few others I can't remember but they're all delicious so you end up loading your bowl with healthy fresh ingredients over a base of either rice, chips or greens. The young staff are always so great, courteous and professional. I hope this place stays here for a long time! Thank you for providing healthy fresh food in a world where fast food and sugars are everywhere! read more

Came here after taking a trip to Catalina for a day and needed a place to grab quick dinner. Mom was visiting so I looked for a poke place with good review and this place did not disappoint! The employee was very nice and he gave me generous amount of poke! For dine-in, they serve in a ceramic bowl instead of plastic to-go bowl. And the owner lady was there and I recognized she is Korean since she had same accent as my mom :) Mom and I enjoyed the food here. Miso soup was good too. If I'm around the area, I'll definitely come back! read more

The last time I went here, I got a to-go Regular Bowl. This time when I went, I got the Regular Bowl for dine-in and it was so much more than what was given to me last time! My photo does not give it justice with how much the portion was. I got the "Live a Little" for my spice factor last time and felt it was too mild for me so I got "Nirvana" this time! It definitely has that kick that I wanted! Just as my previous review, everything was explanatory. The poke is worth it, try it! If I were to give advice, I would say dine-in because I noticed a lot more was given :) I was able to to-go my leftovers and have a second meal from that. read more

Poke Pola - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Its about time I review my go-to Poke spot! I've been coming to Poke Pola since I moved in the neighborhood, but I have to say its not just the proximity bringing me back almost weekly for my fix! Poke Pola is a well rounded Poke spot with good quality fish, great side selections, and delicious sauce combinations. I always go Life After Death with half brown rice and half greens. Can't go wrong with any of their proteins too. This place is good for dine in or to-go. Pricing seems fair (you dont want cheap poke anyway!) And comparing to other spots in the area this is still my favorite! read more

Poke Pola - Poke - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is my favorite Poke place in Long Beach. For a regular bowl you get to choose a base (white or brown rice or salad or half & half) and 3 fish options of your choice. There are also a lot of options for your sauces (spice levels) and toppings. The staff is friendly and it gets pretty busy especially during lunch. There is also inside and outside seating areas. If you go at a good time you will find parking behind the building. read more

Poke Pola - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

Bad customer services. I was inside with my service dog and the manager pushed me away. I filed a report. Not recommended.

Being that I had just moved here, my first instinct was to find a poke place. Usually my first picks aren't exactly the best but luckily, this place broke that curse. The poke here is priced from $12-$16 but the portions here are just tremendous. Especially for a large size that took a moment to eat. I can't give you my full order considering their option selection is humongous, making it easy to find a combination that you would prefer for your poke bowl. The fish proteins choices in my bowl didn't have any strong aftertastes but tasted so full, rich and very fresh. This is definitely a place I'll be returning to often for my poke cravings that I know will be satisfied. read more

Regular with white rice. Salmon, yellowtail, scallops. Onions and zen level spice. Avocado, crabmeat, masago, seaweed salad, green onion, edamame, furikake, cilantro, and eel sauce. SO DANG GOOD! My poke craving has been satisfied! I couldn't get over how delicious this place is. Fish is fresh and their sauciness level is perfect. Mixed all together for an amazing eating experience. The yellowtail was especially delicious and went so well with the eel sauce. Quality ingredients! Usually places give too much rice, but not this place! A balance amount so you're not left with too much of either. Efficient service as well! read more

I started going here 4 years ago and it's honestly one of my favorite spots. I've always had great service, they are fast and attentive! Portions are huge, the price is also inexpensive when you consider all that you are getting! Avocado is free which is always great! My favorite thing? The sauces and the spice level! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good poke spot in Long Beach! There's also room to eat both inside and out! Can always grab a bowl to go and head to the beach! read more

Poke Pola - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

My favorite Poke Spot in Long beach! Kind, attentive staff and generous portions. The line also moves quickly, despite the restaurant being fairly busy at some times throughout the day. read more

The salmon was extremely fresh! They cut it in pretty big sized chunks and it just melts in your mouth so the fish quality is definitely great, but the sauces are a little too sour for my liking. Love their spicy mayo tho. The portion sizes are also relatively small given that a regular bowl costs ~$20 w/ tax. Overall, it was a good bowl, but I'd be hesitant to come back given the price point and size. read more

Poke Pola - Salmon & shrimp regular poké bowl - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is the best Poke is Southern California imho. I have eaten Poke from Lakewood all the way out to La Quinta. I love Poke! It is like the poor man's sushi, but unfortunately the prices can sometimes bring a lower quality of fish and lots of sauces to cover up that fact. You can't judge a place on the spicy tuna. It is ground too small with added spices. Get the chunks of fish and then you will know if it is quality fish or not. At Poke Pola it is HUGE CHUNKS of sushi-quality fish and it is super fresh. They have way more fish options than your standard tuna, spicy tuna, yellowtail and salmon. They have scallops, seared albacore, and even octopus! The avocado is included, not extra! Who does that? Edamame, seaweed salad, crab, ginger and all the normal accoutrement are here plus sauce from spiciness levels Zen (no spice) all the way up to Life After Death (what I get). Prices are very reasonable and the staff if super nice. Do yourself a favor and try this place. read more

This poke place hits the SPOT! You get three healthy sized proteins for a regular bowl ($18) when most places that's a large bowl. Everything tasted fresh and for the price point completely worth it. read more

Stacked bowl with friendly service. Healthy greens as a base. The fish was great quality and delicious. All the sides were included and the spice level was right . Priced appropriately. Would definitely return for a healthy lunch . +4.5/5 read more

Being born and raised in Hawaii - I am always on the hunt to try to get my poke fix. It's really hard to find good simple local style poke in California. I ordered the 4 scoop bowl for delivery 3 tuna 1 spicy ahi. The quality of the tuna is good. Good texture and taste of the fish. The toppings are generous but the original sauce and spicy mayo are duds and watery and not flavor balanced or complimentary to the fish and toppings. Good poke bowl. I probably won't try again but like I said I am a poke bowl snob from Hawaii so I will keep up my hunt for the most ono kine poke bowl local style out in the mainland. read more

Poke Pola - regular bowls! bottom: spicy tuna & tuna, top: tuna, salmon & yellowtail - Poke Near Me - Long Beach, California

My fiancé and I were in search of a new poke spot to try out. We've gotten used to Poke & More and Ramen's Hub poke. That's when we discovered Poke Pola Poke Pola's Regular Bowl is perfectly fine to feed somebody. I love how you can get three scoops of protein, and you can mix it. My fiancé and I both got the Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail. As a bass, she just went with the salad, but I decided to be fancy and get salad/corn chips. For the sauce, she got the Nirvana. For myself, I decided to be fancy again. I got the nirvana on top with the life after death on the side. My goodness. HOW AMAZING IS THE FOOD? The proteins taste really fresh and flavorful. The sauces were zesty, savory, and sweeet. The Life after Death had a great kick to it. This might be my favorite poke salad. TIp: get corn chips so you can create your own poke nachos. read more

I always wait to have eaten somewhere before reviewing them on Yelp. It's been a solid 10 visits and every time, it's delicious! The poke is high quality, love the spice options and the price is reasonable. The owner is so nice too! I would recommend the floor is lava or the poke sauce. read more

Random grub turns out to be a hidden gem :) My girlfriend and I went here spontaneously because we were looking for somewhere to eat around 2nd street. We decided to go here since we wanted something fresh and a Poke bowl might do it. The ambiance looks like regular cafeteria with "Chipotle style" make your bowl feel to it. The serving size was hefty for only $12. Mann I'm sold and go ahead take my blue collared money lol. The servers were on top of things as well since they were quick and efficient. Get them a raise!!!! Haha Of course, their poke bowl was surreal and pack with flavors. They have a "hot" measurement of how spicey you want your poke bowl. I chose nirvana and I can feel my tongue already tingling, so be careful while having that option. You don't want to celebrate 4th of July inside your taste buds while eating it :P My poke bowl have the essentials with fresh cooked octopus, salmon, and tuna on a brown rice. There are more Japanese/Hawaiian based toppings on it, but it too many that I cannot list them all lol. Overall, my girlfriend and I love this place in our first visit; definitely going here again :) read more

Was craving poke and my buddy decided to introduce me to Poke Pola. It was a slow night on 2nd street but this poke spot seemed to be the busiest business around from what I could tell. So much so that there was no tables in their limited outside seating area so we decided to take our poke to the beach. Service was very efficient and friendly. I ordered the regular over cabbage and for my proteins I went with Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Tuna. Fish and other ingredients were fresh and delicious. At first glance you may think portions are small but I was definitely full after finishing my bowl. My only complaint was that they ran out of Avocado but I do give them props for the best crab salad I've had at one of these poke spots and for not charging extra for additional toppings unless you wanted extra and that includes premium ones like avocado or crab. Will definitely be going back soon! read more

Absolutely delicious! This is a tiny storefront along 2nd Street with a small patio outside and small, utilitarian dining room inside. There was a line out the door at 6:15 PM for dinner on a Monday! For $18, I had a regular bowl, which was a generous serving of greens topped with three scoops of fish (salmon and spicy tuna) that was dressed and topped. I love that there are not separate charges for the toppings. The fresh was super fresh and delicious. I loved it and look forward to coming again. read more

Great portions, free avocado!! Relatively spicy if you get the spicier sauces. I would definitely come back as the service was great too. I just would dine by the beach instead since there were a lot of flies inside. read more
