    Two Small Bowls (comes with two proteins each, $15.99/ea)
    Deanne L.

    This may be a good place to go on your lunch break since it's in the midst of business parks, but I wouldn't come out here otherwise. Ordered two small bowls which include two choice of protein for $15.99 each, which I thought was pricey for what we received. Just like any typical poke restaurant, they assemble your bowl in front of you and you get to choose choice of rice or salad, proteins like salmon tuna tofu etc, and toppings/sauces like edamame, seaweed salad, imitation crab, sesame oil, etc. The freshness and the taste of everything combined was pretty good but for $16 a bowl not worth it. I'm used to bigger scoops of my tuna, salmon, and brown rice from other establishments for cheaper. Wasn't as filling. Service from the two ladies were nice. We ordered a fountain drink but she said machine wasn't working. Bummer, got a bottled drink instead. Suggest eating outside

    Build your own bowl! Regular sized.

    The toppings are literally everything here!! There are almost never-ending options! And not to mention FREE!!! Most other places don't offer that, and to me, is mind-blowing. Get this, they offer seaweed salad, crab mix, sliced cucumbers, sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, pickled ginger, wasabi, corn, edamame beans, green onions, and even mandarins?!? (more options not listed) Freakin' chef's kiss. I got the normal sized bowl, with 3 scoops of fish. Did double salmon and tuna. AND holy snipes, it filllllllled me up! The fish were suuuuper fresh and the toppings all were top tier!!! Can I emphasize how the toppings were the star of the show????! Cucumbers were thinnnnnly sliced, super crisp and fresh, it complemented SO well with the savoury crab mix which was suuuuper moist and perfectly seasoned!! The edamame beans and the mandarins paired well in one bite with some chunks of salmon! Tuna tasted Grade A as well! Buttery-like almost! You guys ever get pizza and lots of toppings on it? But the more you add, the more it costs? And the more you load onto it, the faster it fills you up? Well that's how I felt here, except toppings again, are FREE! The toppings were super uber scrumptulicious and quality was phenomenal. Rice was seasoned amazingly well too, it had the right bite to it and the perfect tang. Each ingredient was prepared so meticulously, it made into a perfect meal. The sauce I chose was the poke sauce--it penetrated so well into my rice that made it exciting to craft each spoonful of fish and toppings with. /a little tuna here, a little seaweed salad there, and a edamame bean on top~/ I would definitelyyyy recommend Poke Stage, they abs got everything right in all the right places. Shoutout to the servers, they prepped each bowl with the utmost care and got every ingredient packed ever so prettily. Amazing work!

    Ordered today on Grubhub. $22 for a massive bowl of fresh and delicious poke. I am stuffed and I barely hit the halfway mark. Talk about bang for your buck. So far the best I've had in north county. I'll be ordering again.

    Poke bowl, with tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon

    Poway isn't exactly teeming with poke restaurants but was in the mood for some, so decided to give Poke Stage a shot. I got my usual bowl: tuna, spicy tuna, salmon. They offer white rice, brown rice, and salad for the base, along with the usual toppings. Avocado and tamago are $1.00 extra. Good selection of sauces, including regular poke sauce, spicy poke sauce, spicy mayo, and sesame oil. I was a little unsure how fresh everything might be because I came towards closing time, but everything was good and fresh. My only nit would be that the portions of fish were a little small. Location might be hard to find or a little out of the way if you're not familiar with the area and I wasn't sure if it would be open being that it is tucked away in the corner, and in a business park area. All in all, the food was enjoyable and the customer service was good, and I'd return.

    A must try poke spot in Poway! Great service and fresh sushi grade fish! A local favorite spot of mine!

    Poway local Poke shop, I stop by here from time to time when I crave Poke during lunch time. I usually stroll by after 12:30 pm to avoid the lunch rush. parking shouldn't be an issue. It's a small shop with outdoor dinning benches. Cashier/ food handler always greet me and asked what bowl size I wanted. I usually aim for regular since it's only a dollar more than small. I get three scoop of proteins. I go for salmon, tuna, octopus and white rice for my bottom. I get their Spicy Poke sauce and Spicy Mayo on top of my protein and on top of my rice. I usually get all the topping except Jalapeño. If you are thirsty and want something kind of sweet I recommend their black milk tea in the bottle. Overall it's super straight to the point, you get your food and you get out. Quick and easy.

    Not a bad spot for poke! They have a good variety of seafood and toppings. It was my first time seeing mandarin oranges as a topping. I came kind of close to closing time so they only had brown rice available. I normally don't get brown rice because it's so dry but I did get a small bowl and that really filled me up! The scoop of fish they gave was super tiny (like 5 pieces of fish). I'm never in this area but if I am and happen to be craving poke again I would stop by.

    A little slow in making the food, but was taken back by the "f**k" tee shirt the employee was allowed to wear. Times have changed.

    Ask the Community - Poke Stage

    Is this place open for take out during covid-19?

    Does this place allow smoking in their outside seating area? I have really bad allergies to second hand smoke but prefer eating outside

    This place shares the outdoor seating area with another restaurant. I haven't seen anyone enforce any policy, if there even is one.

    Fish and chips on Poway road?

    Sorry nothing strikes my fancy in this area...but Fancy Fish in Mira Mesa a few miles south is worth trying! They have great variety and you have various options on how you'd like your fish prepared!

    I am from San Jose and I am always looking around on Yelp or tik tok for Filipino breakfast spots…read moreas they are my FAVORITE. I am so glad I found Luna's Lunpias. When we walked in, the staff were so friendly and went over the specials and also let us know what they didn't have for that morning. (Thankfully everything I was planning to order they had all of it)! Drinks: Calamasi Refresher The nice staff member recommended this drink and it was the perfect pairing with our breakfast. I usually stick with drinking water but this was a really good pick! 5/5 Appetizers: Pork lumpia: 5/5, of course we had to get this! Combo plates: Longsilog bowls ~ which came with garlic rice, fried egg, scoop of Mac and cheese. It was super filling and I thought it was never ending witu the amount of longsilog they gave. This dish paired well with their spice vinegar. There were literally no crumbs left. I always love supporting family owned restaurants. Filipino food is my top favorite foods. I can't wait to come back in August!

    Great welcoming service the minute I walked in. W ordered take out. The place is kind of small but…read morethey did their best to accommodate their guests even seeing them seat a party of 12. The owner helped us understand their catering menu and explained it is made per order based on the request so she couldn't specify the pricing. Ordered the pork adobo which had 4 large pieces of pork belly, great sauce and yummy Mac. Wish there were more protein to the rice ratio, but it was good overall. Rice Krispie was okay, tasted homemade. Lumpia was delicious but expensive. Definitely would come back to try more of everything else.

The cashier was very nice and offered their weekly special. Service was great and my order came out promptly. They are closed on Mondays and Sundays and open till 7pm. Parking can be a bit hectic since the sports bar is right in front of it and plaza is very busy. I ordered the garlic chicken combo plate and that did not disappoint. Perfectly crispy and moist chicken in a sweet and tangy garlic sauce that is not overpowered by the garlic. The combo plate comes with 2 sides, I chose the furikaki rice and macaroni salad, the macaroni salad needed a bit more flavor, but it complemented well with the garlic sauce. Will be back to other dishes and the cucumber salad. They also have some desserts with appeared to be homemade.
