    Medium Poke Bowl
    Ava S.

    My new favorite Poke place. Great taste and price! Fast service and great ambiance. Love they have a loyalty program.

    Medium Poke Bowl

    So bomb; got a medium bowl n it was ginormous i am so full and theres like 1/4th left The employees were so kind too thank you

    Poke spots are always a hit or miss and this place is definitely a hit! I love how the fish isn't drowned in sauce and it's a perfect balance to rice-fish ratio. They even offer snacks which makes the place different and better than the other poke shops I've been too. Staff are so friendly and make the place all so welcoming! Perfect spot to get for the beach or even to just hangout and chat.

    Poke bowl with yellowtail
    Danielle K.

    Usually i go to the one in Whittier but we were in the area and when i saw they had yellowtail...i said we're going!!! Even tho its an upcharge i got ALL yellowtail (thanks to my generous husband) and the woman who helped us was SO NICE and SO WELCOMING and she explained how the owner really cares about using fresh sushi grade fish and lemme tell you, its obvious they do! The taste was unparalleled. Also their eel looked amazing and very big chunks! I wish i had gotten the name of the woman helping us because she really knows how to put a bowl together. Yellowtail's her fave too so she gets it. Plenty of sauce options, some of my favorites in fact, and they dont skimp on em either. Some places i go to i practically have to beg for a decent amount. This spot is a little different it seems like you can order on a lil clipboard and they'll bring it to you. Its a small area but they have outside seating too and everything is clean and well stocked. Truly this was an amazing day thanks to her!!! Parking is tough but well well worth it. If you think you've had poke rainbow before, think again! Do not miss this place ~

    Tried this place for the first time and we will definitely be coming back! It was delicious, so many topping to choose from and portions were great! The service was nice and they were very friendly and welcoming.

    All I'm going to say is that this poke is 10/10!! I've been to a lot of different poke places up and down the South Bay but this is hands down my new go to poke spot. I love their selection of different proteins and toppings! Everything was super fresh, the service was great, and the workers were really friendly! There's a few spots to eat inside and outside too so you don't really have to worry about seating. Overall, the freshness of the poke and the portion size is unbeatable. They definitely don't skimp you out either! If they had tam-ago it would make it an 11/10 for me. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! I'll definitely be back!

    ‍ahhhh. The crab salad is so fresh and so fire lol. first time poke rainbow customer here and wow! This is a small place in riviera village, with metered parking. Parking was easy for me as it was still earlier in the day can't say it will always be but this place is worth visiting. I actually stopped to get coffee nearby and I spotted it looking out the window! but for some reason this place just sounded good after going to the gym. When you walk in there are tickets that allow you to choose your items for your order. Once completed you hand it to the worker that will make your bowl for you. Service was clean and quick. I got a small bowl which allows 2 proteins, whatever you choose to add in for free and with certain items like avocado for an additional charge. You then choose your sauce and any dry toppings. I chose ahi tuna and crab salad, with brown rice. I added jalapeño, pineapple, corn, and edamame. For sauce I chose ponzu and added spicy mayo and for dry toppings I chose sesame seeds. This was one of the freshest poke bowls! All I needed was a small I couldn't even finish the whole thing. I'll be back often I love poke bowls!

    i loved just ordering from a form instead of verbally and also the workers were super friendly and welcoming i had an amazing experience overall and enjoyed my poke at the beach. the salmon and scallops were my favorite so goodddd and fresh

    Small bowl, brown rice + quinoa, double Ahi, avo, seaweed, pineapple, edamame, spicy mayo, yuzu, eel sauce combo

    Love the level of personalization available and the help from the staff to make choices! Went by myself for a fast lunch and the service is fast and food delicious. super fresh!

    Bianka C.

    Came in again because they have me hooked!! You can taste the quality and the flavor is spot on, I crave it! My husband picked up and said the owner was so nice! Love this place I highly recommend it!!

    Poke Rainbow has a variety of frozen desserts available.

    This delicious poke place is situated in the middle of the Riviera shopping and dining area of Redondo Beach. It's always fun to go to eat or just walk here. The vibe of this place is very much beachy, cool and laid back and the servers are friendly and easygoing. While this place is about $3 to $5 more than most other places, their ingredients are so fresh and the area around their location is so nice we feel it's worth it for a splurge. A small poke will run about $20 without tax or a drink. They have outdoor seating making it possible to enjoy the great South Bay weather.

    This is my go-to for a near home poké spot. When it comes to sushi fish, the price can be expected to be not so cheap, but the amount of stuff given in these portions are great. A medium is definitely enough for someone on an empty stomach, but sometimes a little extra is nice too. The fish is so fresh, and they don't lack on the amount they give. The ordering is one of my favorite parts about this restaurant. They have sheets in front of the store that you fill out, checking off the options for everything you want in your bowl, which you then hand in to make a payment, then receive your food. The parking for this is not the most ideal as it's near busier walking streets nearing the beach, with mostly metered parking around.

The fish was buttery, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The tempura was just as impressive. It included shrimp, cantaloupe, potato, and shishito peppers, all fried to perfection. Everything was light, crispy, and wonderfully crunchy without feeling greasy. I especially loved the variety of vegetables paired with the shrimp. My friend ordered the soba noodles and was kind enough to share a few bites. They were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Honestly, everything we tried was fantastic. Overall, I had a great experience and can't wait to come back to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, delicious Japanese food in a cute and welcoming setting!

One or two servers passed by but were too preoccupied. We were pretty frustrated at around 8:45PM. At 8:50PM, a server comes up to our table (finally) and asks if we wanted to order anything for last call. I told her we did order but never received it. She was shocked and checked on the order. Turns out, the order was never placed in whatever system they have. As an apology, they gave us free edamame, but still never checked on the table again. Our food came out about 10 minutes later. It was okay. When we finished about 15 minutes after the food came out, I had to go to the main entrance to try to get our check. To no surprise, that came out quickly. I was excited to try this place. As stated, the food was okay. The lack of service is inexcusable. I don't suggest this place to anyone. Go somewhere else. There's so many other Japanese spots in Torrance. Try any of those.

It's a small restaurant, and it seemed like reservations are highly recommended, if not required. Luckily, they were able to squeeze us in right before another reservation. The restaurant has an authentic yakitori vibe where the tables are packed pretty tightly and you're dining elbow-to-elbow with other guests. That said, I loved the variety on the menu. They offer a huge selection of grilled, steamed, fried, and cold dishes, so there's something for everyone. The skewers were amazing, and the grilled onigiri was one of my favorites. Everything we tried was really enjoyable and I loved being able to order a little bit of everything! One thing to keep in mind: the rice pot takes about 45 minutes to cook because they start with raw rice.

Nicely grilled and had a good amount of flavor. The eel, wings, and liver were also really good. The pork belly was cut pretty thick and had a good balance of meat and fat. The cartilage was another favorite. It was juicy and had a nice crunchy texture. The tsukune was good and had some cartilage mixed in, which gave it a nice texture. It also came with a poached egg that was pretty tasty, although I would have preferred a pasteurized egg. The grilled squid and yaki onigiri were solid as well. A few of the skewers were a little on the salty side. The chicken breast was also a little dry, while the tongue was pretty thick and chewy. The tail was really fatty, but that's kind of expected. Unfortunately, they were out of hearts, which I was hoping to try. Overall, there were more hits than misses and I enjoyed most of what I ordered. Would definitely come back to try some of the other skewers.

The one mix up in our order was quickly set right. Ambience is honestly A+. Very cute setup and everything down to the teacups is adorable. Great vibes for hanging around. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't it. Tare was surprisingly bland, which does not pair well with the fact that it was used so sparingly. Saying tare is bland anywhere, but especially for a yakitori place just feels crazy to me. The chicken skin was nice, but that adjective would have been "amazing" at any other yakitori place. The wings and beef were cooked well for tenderness, but again, the tare was bland and the beef, while good, was sauced with a dead ringer for Mr. Yoshida's. Again, Mr. Yoshida's isn't bad. It's yummy, BUT it's not a flavor I'm bothering to go out for. The sauce B set actually had nice flavors, but for $4, it should not have been plated with a micropipette. None of the sauce components are pricy, and I've seen people sneeze out something more substantial. Just don't get the sweet potato salad. Whatever you're imagining, and there a quite a few ways you could interpret "sweet potato salad," know that's not it. You know when you pop a song lyric into google translate, set it to Aramaic, then translate it back? That. That's the interpretation of sweet potato salad you will get. Just poorly constructed flavor-wise. I don't know whose idea that was but please take it away. I didn't want to be wasteful, but I regret eating it. I've never before regretted eating anything with bacon. At some point, I had to admit the only thing I still felt like ordering was the check and taco bell. Currently writing this while waiting to be seated at another yakitori place in Gardena. Lucky for me, but not Torikizoku, they are suffering in part from being located in an area swimming with great yakitori. It's just not up to par for the area at all.

Taking a while for the six people to order so I nudged her and I asked her to move and she seemed upset that I did that but didn't say anything no apology so it was very uncomfortable and I was rushing through my food so I burnt my tongue on the hot soup again even though I knew it was hot because I just wanted to get out of there. And then when I was done, I had to wait a while for the check and then they couldn't process the Apple Pay at the table so then I had to go to the front and wait for somebody to attend to me there overall this experience was not fun and stressful and I had got there right when they opened. I sure wish I had selected a different seat!! I wouldn't get the Nabeyaki soup again. It was really big and had a lot of end pieces of tough napa cabbage. There were two pieced of shitake mushroom and the standard thin fish cake slice. There was and egg in the soup and a three small chicken pieces. On the side were three small pieces of green bean and two tempura shrimp.

    I have written two past reviews for this place, each one glowing brigther than the sun's heat in…read moreAugust. Thus this place does not need more of my praise. It is eastablished and celebrated by eaters far more articulate and with wider reach than I. But I recently went, and enjoyed myself quite a bit. Not only because the food was incredible but because the staff made me feel like a special patron. My main server was Julian. He was young, attentive and continued the chain of grand service. But there are two other female servers that make the experience pop with above the line service, I wish I knew their name. The first passed me and my companion Conrad and asked how is your mother? All I could say was she was still alive. I took my mom to mother's day there two years ago and she remembered. That kind of service cannot be reproduce because it was held in heart and intention. I was a welcomed guest. I may not go often but when I do I am remembered. That kind attentiivesness is more than appreciated, it is remembered too! The second server when I leave the place meets my eyes, has a grand wide smile, and said something in Japanese that makes me feel seen in Kyoto. I am engaged in a jovial way by the staff here that is why it is a sincere pleasure to buy the kitchen staff a picther so we can Kanpai!. There sweet way with me is something I cannot undervalue because in doing so I would ignore the kind of hospitatlty that moves mountains closer to the sun. And the food is amazing, like so good, it cannot be ignored espeically when the menu went through changes. The reason why that face immediately hit me in the face was because I used to go for these corn tempura things that were like this amazing crunch in corn. But still what we had was wonderul. Like I would hurt back or strain my inner thigh trying to complain about the food in this place. This time around Conrad and I had their Shabu Shabu. I have had Shabu Shabu before (not here) a few times, not many but this was the first time that Conrad had it. And that face in itself is special, I think. So moving on from that, eating Shabu Shabu was engaging cause you basically create a broth that you are using to cook veggies and meat so images of witches and camping come to the mind, easily. I also took a video of Conrad grinding some sesame seeds, like he was an apothecary or doctor of old times. And I do not care who you are, you are going to enjoy working a bit, especially in a fun way, for your meal. Like who would not like to peel a few cloves of garlic for their herbed chicken? The broth came with pork shoulder and pork belly. We also had some meat and onions on stick--- I think we had pork belly and chicken. We also had a rice ball. We also had thier Gobo Chips. This is something that survived the menu transition that hit every crispy bite. It hit every crispy bite. By this point I know that the food will be fantastic, and the type of food that warms the heart and soul- comfort food. However, this, comfort food is not mine to claim by familiarity because I have not known it since childhood. But I have known it enough to know it as comfortable. I guess, I can claim it as familiar because it became such in the span of years, not decades. Like when can someone claim a carne asado taco to be familiar comfort food when they did not grow up eating it? That is the question that I am left to ponder. This place is a spot I know to be good and trust to deliver on service and quality.

We all got the Ise Shima seasonal lunch special. The meal came with about 12 different smaller dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious and meticulously prepared and presented. From sashimi to tempura, from Somen to Tsukemono, from corn rice to soup to Saba. Etc. it was all delicious. Made with quality ingredients. Service was impeccable. Our server was backed by three managers and a busboy. Everyone was very attentive and polite. What a great experience. The restaurant is modern and well lit. Stylish and clean. I'll certainly come back!

Our waitress was incredibly attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu and the different types of fish. The food was excellent, and every fish we tried was incredibly fresh and naturally sweet. The flavors actually reminded me of the wonderful seafood I had while traveling in Japan. The set menu was absolutely epic, from the appetizers all the way to the light dessert. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. And the chirashi was very, very good--definitely one of the highlights of the meal! I'll definitely be coming back, and I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast next time. Highly recommended!
