    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.

    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!

It's located next to Because We Care Dog & Cat Groomer in the smaller area where Better Buzz is of Plaza Rancho Penasquitos in Rancho Penasquitos. There is a small parking lot that can get full during weekdays and weekends. I got the mini Huli Huli Chicken, and it looked...unfortunately quite sad (peep the pic). Unlike the other recent pictures of the same mini Huli Huli Chicken, I only received one small piece of chicken--smaller than my palm--that was drenched in sauce. The others with the same other had multiple pieces of chicken and weren't nearly as saucy as mine. I felt that mine also lacked the smokiness or garnishes to make the meal more appetizing. It was a pretty sad-looking $13 plate. My friend got their Saturday special, which comes with a two-choice poke. She went with half spicy ahi and half shoyu ahi. The ahi was quite fresh. The shoyu ahi was really good, but the spicy ahi wasn't either of our favorite. It had a ton of mayo, making it a bit difficult to eat. She also got their Butter Mochi with Coconut, which she really enjoyed. I was really looking forward to trying this shop, so it was a bit disappointing to leave feeling very underwhelmed. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing? Hopefully, my experience with the mini Huli Huli Chicken was just a one-off, and the next couple of people who order it will have a better experience than I did.

They have a Fish of the Day which I have yet to order but I definitely want to give it a try. Other diners have ordered it my presence and it looks really good. I am hoping for colder to try their soups. I bet they are really good.
