Nana K.

We love to order Poke Tiki for take out! You can come right here on Yelp, and go to their site where you can place online orders. They let you know when pick up time is, and eating out at home is a breeze. You get to select the size, sauce, base, protein and toppings. I usually order the kid size and that is plenty for me. I love their raw salmon! Always fresh and delicious. One point off because my brown rice was a bit hard this time around, but everything else was delicious. And filling. I love their variety of protein & side options (scallops, tuna, spicy salmon, seaweed, crab mix, edamame's are just a few) What a great healthy cheat for the weekend!

Poke Tiki is always a solid choice for poke. The fish is fresh, the portions are generous, and they've got all the toppings I love--especially the spicy salmon. Prices are decent for what you get, and I never leave hungry. Simple, fresh, and reliable--exactly what I want in a poke spot.

I had high hopes for this poke spot since it's just a 2-minute drive from my home, but unfortunately, I left pretty underwhelmed, especially compared to other poke places I've tried. I believe this location is fairly new since I haven't noticed it before, but I can't really say the customer service stood out in a positive way. I've been here around three times, and after my first visit, I switched to online orders because the staff didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. I get that everyone has tough days, but the energy just felt off. I really didn't want to give it two stars because I genuinely love poke, but the rice was always cold and stiff, the tuna had an odd taste, and the salmon was a bit too fishy for my liking. The imitation crab also tasted off. The only upside is that the medium bowl comes with a decent portion size, and the space itself is clean and somewhat roomy. Overall, this place just isn't for me. There are other poke spots that offer fresher ingredients, better flavor, and more positive customer service. I'd say this place is convenient if you're nearby, especially for hospital staff or patients across the street, but for quality, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Poke tiki was a pretty decent poke place. It's right across from CHOC and there's good seating to eat inside. Service was really friendly and quick. The fish and toppings were all really fresh. They drizzle most of the sauce on top of the bowl, which wasn't my favorite way of getting poke-- i like when the sauce is well-mixed into the fish but other than that it was really filling and good.

Marie S.

My favorite Poke place !!! My go to is always the salmon. Super good and fresh. I also love that they offer miso soup.

Nadia M.

Came here because we had an appointment across the street, but it was good! I got the regular bowl, you get 3 scoops of protein of your choice, and it was a fairly big portion too. They have a good variety of toppings and sauces. When I got there it was empty but there was a steady flow of people coming in and out. Service was fast. The only downside was there are no public bathrooms.

I am a fan of this place. They have great options for fish choices. I enjoyed their albacore crab salad it was flavorful and different. I usually just get salmon but I ventured out today & I was glad to have tried the albacore crab salad. I really loved this spot, their fish seems fresh, looks good. They provide all of the best toppings for a poke bowl. Definitely will come back here cause it's really good My rating scale: 5: Crave for it. Will go out of my way to come back. 4: Very good, will recommend it to my people. 3: Decent. Glad I tried it but won't make it a trip to come back unless someone drags me here. 2: Ehhh. 1: Hell no! Never again ever!

Top 3 favorite poke places in orange county area. I like getting salmon, tuna and shrimp or tofu in my bowls. This place is close to Main Place mall and CHOC hospital. Their portions are very decent, and the pricing is affordable. They have a good variety of beverages to choose from.

Czarina G.

Came to this poke spot because my boyfriend loves poke and he used to come here all the time, it's been a while so we decided to go. We were welcomed by two workers who were very friendly. They were patient with me as I am not a big raw fish eater so I tried their salmon crab salad as my protein which was very good (salmon was cooked and shredded). My boyfriend got the half rice half salad with salmon and albacore, he demolished his bowl! He got his with cucumbers, avocado (extra charge), edamame, ponzu sauce with signature sauce, furikake, and green onions. It was kind of hard finding parking as it is a small lot, so that can be difficult. It's a small place so limited seating but we came in at a good time, it was pretty empty, but they had a water station and chopsticks on the table with napkins. Overall this poke was delicious and service was great!

Went here for dinner and service was good. There was a problem with payment, but the man voided the first one and applied the Yelp discount on the second transaction. The bad: there was no napkins or utensils in the to go bag. Not sure if it was out on the counter for self service so that may have been my mistake. First time here and the food is just OK compared to other places. The regular size and price is good at $8.99 and avocado is extra. read more

Been here a couple times since they opened and the food is great. I've gotten a medium sized bowl which comes with three types of fish. The additional toppings they carry is better tha other poke places which I love. The only thing I had problems with both times of their customer service. This place just opened up not too long ago and is fairly new, both times I've been here their employees do NOT look happy and seem like they don't want to be there. Expressionless to say the least. Great food, but customer service could use some work. read more

I came in my first time 11/22 around 2pm and first impression was the store was really clean and organized and the environment was pretty lively. There was no wait as well. As I was looking at the menu which was fairly easy to read, the worker (a young girl with glasses) comes up and rudely says "what do you want" with no eye contact. Throughout the whole order, she was extremely blunt and monotone. Towards the end, I point to a sauce and ask "is this sauce spicy mayo" and she says nothing!! She just puts it in my poke bowl....??? The customer service is awful..it made the food less enjoyable. After I sat down with my bf, we wanted to get extra sauce on the side because there wasn't enough in the bowl so my bf goes up to the front and waits since that girl went to the back. After waiting for a few seconds, she finally notices and then comes out with a straight face with a PHONE IN ONE HAND and says "what do you want" with the same attitude as earlier. Ok very professional.... Anyway, the food was decent. I shared a regular size poke bowl with my bf. I got white rice and 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of shrimp with some crabmeat, avocado and other toppings as well. The poke place is nicely set up but I won't be returning though due to the poor customer service. read more

I've been a frequent visitor to poke tiki .. and I have to say today's customer service really rubbed me the wrong way. The girl helping me was in a bad mood and it was very apparent. She did not attempt to make conversation or offer things in a nice way. She simply just said things in a rude tone with a mean looking face. The poke today was also not the freshest tasting.

I love this place! I'm a poke addict and was traveling to Garden Grove to Luv Fish, which is good, but more expensive and not as much food. The ingredients are fresh, portions are huge and avocado isn't extra. The only difference is that you add your own sauce, which is nice so you can put as much as you want. The only problem is that this place is too close to my house, so I'll be going almost everyday! I might turn into a poke bowl!! Try this place out, it's awesome and the staff is awesome. Oh! If you get it to go, they add a pack of ice so it stays cold...Whooo hoooo. read more

Man where to start. First, their portions are huge. They don't go cheap on them toppings, and they are all VERY fresh (not to mention how perfectly seasoned up they are). The place is cleaner than my new Jordans and the workers are friendly and welcoming. I came in not knowing what to get but there was a server named Chris who helped me out with some of the best recommendations. I'm not gonna lie that was the finest bowl of poke i've had. So what are ya'll waiting for. Drive up there and get yourself one. Oh don't forget to check out Chris. (You won't miss him. He's hella cute) read more

This is by far the best poke place I have ever been too! All their ingredients are fresh and tasty. They use good quality seafood. Sauces: Their poke sauce is amazing! You have to try their fish with their poke sauce!! In addition, I don't usually like spicy sauce but I am addicted to their spicy mayo! Toppings: the best part about this place is that all their toppings are included!! (10+toppings you can choose from or have them all!) Love their cucumber salad, crab meat, and avocado! Btw, they will give you ice pack to keep the bowl fresh if you order yours togo! Wonderful customer service, spacious seating area and clean. I am definitely coming back to this place! read more

Exceptional Poke, Fresh and packaged with an ice bag for a to go order. On a good and giving day your server will give you an exceptional amount of Poke, Then comes the stingy day where you barely get three pieces of your choice. Can we say stinge-fest, Or perhaps getting a bigger scooper. Or cloudy glass so I don't see you actually shaking the extra pieces hanging from the scooper. This place is a must if you're craving some fresh, Clean Poke. The atmosphere is calm and chill on Weekends But don't dare walking in on a weekday during lunch. All in all good eats, But try working on the servings, A schmear of brown rice is not close to a scoop! read more

Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent.

Went here on a whim since they're open until midnight, and I'm so glad we did. The first thing that…read moresurprised me was how affordable everything was compared to other seafood boil spots. You really get a lot for the price, and the shrimp were HUGE. The sauce was packed with flavor -- the perfect balance of spice, butter, and seasoning. Simple, messy, and absolutely delicious. Service was also great. There was only one server working, but he stayed on top of everything and made sure everyone was taken care of. The place itself is a little small, but it actually made the experience feel more cozy, and we got seated right away since it wasn't too busy. Definitely feels like a hidden gem and one of those spots you almost don't want too many people finding out about. Will definitely be back.

The seasoning was good but the quality of the crawfish was not good, it was mushy and not hot (even cold at times), and the meat was small.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss.

Sweet and with just a bit of briny taste. I first ordered half a dozen, but enjoyed it so much that I added another half a dozen! I also tried a piece of the Hollywood raw oyster. Didn't enjoy it as much as I did the Rappahanock. We also had the Wedge Salad, which is good and refreshing. And as usual, their Ribeye 16oz is soooo good! Hits the spot! It was also our first time trying out Halibut Cheek Fennel and glad that we did! It is so good. It was served over a sauce that we enjoyed. Will most likely be added to our usual orders. Hubby ordered cappuccino and it was so good! He is very critical of his coffee and this one is rated very highly by him! Ambiance as usual is nice, clean, cozy, tastefully decorated.

But fine Pork ribs : 7/10 Side dish was a runny Mac and cheese: 4/10 Onion rings are pretty perfect. Thick slices with crunchy panko-ish breading. Onion rings 10/10 Brisket plate with 2 sides: sweet potatoes and beans The brisket over all was salty and a bit dry. We were served two fatty pieces from the middle. And a couple not so fatty ones from the ends. Those were dry. The fattier ones were better. But still really salty. Wasn't a fan Brisket 5/10 Beans: a bean medley?!? Multiple variety of evens. Which I am assuming had some bbq sauce in the broth as they were both vinegary and sweet. Honestly. I hated them We threw the entire side away Beans 0/10 Sweet potatoes : Sweet! Like. Really sweet. With a candied pecan crust. If sweet sweet potato casserole is your jam. .. this might be for you... it wasn't for me Sweet potato: 3/10 The bread and butter pickles were good On a side note. Ketchup is served in little plastic cups.. as opposed to a squeeze bottle. The onion rings don't actually fit in the cups to dip them in ketchup. So.. yeah that's annoying. Bbq sauce is also served in those little cups. Where are the squeeze bottles of sauce lol. At least they don't charge for bbq sauce like heritage does. All in all was nice to get a new place. Did it remind me of bbq back home? No. Would I return? No

I have to admit that the Aussie style breakfast is along with different twist on certain things that you wouldn't typically have for breakfast or initially caught my eye. I started off with the golden latte. It was a beautifully balanced turmeric latte with almond milk with a perfect amount of sweetness. Not only was it gut healing, but it's super warming on a chilly morning. While I was looking over the menu, I was between the breakfast burrito since everybody was ordering it or the soft scramble with chili oil. I landed on the soft scrambled chili crunch. It was served with a half avocado and rye toast the others in our party ordered pancakes, bacon, a chicken sandwich and a Yuzu drink. Everything came out in a timely manner and beautifully plated. I absolutely loved the soft scramble on Rye. It was a perfect serving size as well as hitting the spot for a not so traditional breakfast. As we're sitting there, I noticed everybody was ordering the lemon ricotta pancakes, so I could not resist and ordered some as well. I will say the most underwhelming part of that was the lemon ricotta pancakes due to the ratios for the pancake pancakes and lemon ricotta. Overall, my experience was spectacular. I cannot wait to go back to Bluestone Lane to try other menu items.

I have gone the past 2 years and never had issues getting it on the first day. This year was different. I got there around 5:05 and walked into the shop to see a lot of tables empty. I was shocked to see that. I waited in line with maybe like two people in front of me and guess what they asked of Pliny was still available. The guy working said to the people in front of me that they sold out. It was my turn I asked if they had it and the guy said that they had a line since 3pm and that they sold out of the keg. We ended up getting two beers since we went anyways but that's when things didn't add up. He kept telling all the other people that started to show up the same thing. These are reasons why it didn't add up 1) empty seats inside but had a line since 3pm and beer was released at 4pm 2) I don't think the people going for younger would just order one beer and not try other RR beers? 3) only one guy working beer counter and having to clean the tables and make sandwiches? 4) 12 oz pours of beer and keg with about 1984 oz would make it 166 beers. No way they sold 166 beers in an hour with one person working the bar and shop empty in an hour. They could have posted on their instagram or socials that they sold out but failed to do so. I'm sure a lot of people all night were disappointed to see that they didn't have it or post anything about it.

Came by Poke Tiki recently and honestly it hit the spot. I was craving something fresh but still filling, and this place delivered. The fish tasted really fresh and the portions were pretty generous. I liked that they didn't skimp on toppings either, so every bite actually had a good mix of everything. Food-wise, definitely solid and I'd come back just for that. Service was quick and easy. Nothing over the top but the staff were friendly and got my order right without any issues. Even during a bit of a rush, the line moved pretty fast which I appreciated. Ambiance is pretty chill and casual. It's not a fancy spot, but it's clean and comfortable enough to sit down and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Good for a quick lunch or casual dinner. Overall, it's one of those spots you can count on when you want a reliable poke bowl that actually tastes fresh. read more

The first time I am visiting a poke place, and yes I was pleasantly surprised!!!! It is sushi in a bowl. The salmon salad, the tuna salad, the sauces to die for!!! I want to think that all this is healthy!!! And yes, I want to continue coming back!!! The only thing I will suggest is that in order to keep people interested on coming back is that they should implement a loyalty program like a card to be stamped, Fivestars, etc... once I paid I suggested that and it was then that the attendant mentioned that if I check in on yelp I will get 10% off, but if I hadn't mentioned it, he would not mentioned it either. They need to be more proactive and informative. read more
