    We stumbled upon this poke spot as we were waiting for another restaurant in the plaza, and it was a casual build your own poke bowl place. They had a good amount of fish options and toppings, and the workers were nice in building the bowls for us - not skimping on anything

    I've been craving Hawaiian-style poke, so when I saw "Hawaiian, poke" in the restaurant heading I thought I'd found a new spot. I did find a new spot, but they don't do the pre-marinated, Hawaiian-style poke here. Here's what I did find: a nice little spot that was clean, inviting, had friendly staff, and had a couple of fish offerings i hadn't seen at any other place. I ordered the extra large bowl, choosing the standard salmon, tuna, and shrimp (can't go wrong with those!) and 2 new proteins to try: albacore & crab salad and salmon & crab salad. Both were dry (not moist/mushy like spicy tuna). I would order both again. They offered to drizzle poke sauce and sesame oil over it all, which I agreed to. The next step I'm a bit confused about. They have bottles of sauces and I'm not sure if they'd also drizzle those over your bowl if you ask or if they only give the the little condiment cups. I wanted to try new sauces, so I asked for a cup of wasabi cilantro and also one that had peanuts. When I sat down to eat my bowl, because I only had them drizzle the poke sauce and the sesame, the bowl was on the dry side. Adding the side sauces helped, but it still wasn't as saucy as the bowls I'm used to getting. What I realized when I finished the bowl was that I actually enjoyed it on the "drier" side. The fish didn't get lost "swimming" in sauce. (Pun *may* be intended) Overall, was it what I was expecting? No. BUT, I did enjoy the food. I'm counting it as a win and I'm looking forward to coming back again soon!

    So I usually go to the Pokey Tiki at main place or the one on Harbor but today I came to this location and I had mentioned something about the portions and the girl told me that if I didn't like it I could leave. It was a very rude experience. Maybe that's why the store was empty but never come here again. No one even greeted me when I walked in. The vibe was definitely not welcoming.

    This poke place was A-Ok. Was planning on heading to downtown Tustin, but wanted to grab something quick and cool, as it's a very warm summer day, so decided on this poke place with good proximity. Parking here was a sinch as this is a very large center with very abundant parking. I got the medium poke bowl with tuna, salmon and spicy tuna and white rice as my base. It was quick to get the proteins and grain, but took a while for the toppings portion as the same individual who does the toppings is also checking out guests, so the bowl kinda just sits there until she's ready. I got my preferred toppings, spicy mayo and dynamite sauce, also grabbed a canned Diet Coke, as there are no fountain drinks here. There is a water cooler for lemon water though- just ask for a cup! As part of the order they asked you for your preferred utensils, and we got chopsticks. We sat down as there were still some tables available, but there was a lunch rush that came in after us (after 1pm on a Sunday), and tables became less plentiful inside. There were outside tables, but see previous statement about best. Overall, the poke bowl was as you'd expect it to be at these types of poke places. I did think their chopsticks could use an upgrade,l. They felt very low quality. Overall, I would return, as it's quick and easy, but will not blow your socks off.

    It was on a wonderful evening of "parents night out" that my daughter ironically found Poke Tiki. While mom and dad were out having fun, my daughter got hungry and wanted to order take out. This was the exact night she stumbled upon Poke Tiki, and the night that poke bowls became a staple takeout weekend dinner for our family. Needless to say, my daughter fell in love with Poke Tiki from her first bite. I'm not kidding when I say we eat this as a weekend family take-out meal very frequently. I love their poke bowls as well! Take out option is very easy to follow online. You choose your size, your base, protein and all the fillings. I usually get their kids size, which leaves me full and happy. Although you only get one protein choice, crab meat is one of their options for fillings which is good enough for me. I love that I feel full, but not overly stuffed. Their salmon is nice and fresh (my choice of protein), and they offer many other protein options as well (my daughter loves their scallops and octopus as well). Poke Tiki has somehow become one of our family take out traditions, and it seems like they are here to stay. A satisfied tummy is a happy family, so no complaints here :)

    Two stars might be generous. I'm decidedly not a fan. First of all, this place is pretty stingy with the "poke" in my opinion. They give you a lot of rice and whatever toppings you select but a relatively small amount of "poke." Also, the "poke" is not very good in my opinion. Among other things, it's not marinated. Good poke like the kind you can get at a grocery deli counter in Hawaii is always marinated. I will go so far as to say the "poke" at Poke Tiki isn't poke at all. It's just cubbed raw fish. The toppings are fine, but what you really want is poke - see above, though. Service wise, you order at the counter and tell the person what kind of fish you want, what toppings you want, and what sauce you want, etc. Hint: If the "poke" was marinated, there would be no need for sauce. Ambience wise, there are a few tables to sit at if you want to eat it there. I got mine to go, and most of it went in the trash. Welcome to my dead to me list. I won't be back. P.S. my pics are better if you click on them."

    Is there any nutrition info? I didn't find anything on their website. Really just looking for calorie estimates.

    Has anyone been charged for sauces?

    No, but you might if ordering a lot.

    One of the Best Hawaiian BBQ Spots I've Tried!…read more A friend finally brought me to his favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot (I guess he decided to stop gatekeeping ), and I'm so glad he did! I ordered the 2-Piece Boneless Chicken Plate with the spicy garlic sauce, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The seasoning paired perfectly with the spicy garlic sauce, making every bite delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the creamy mac salad had a nice peppery kick that complemented the meal really well. My only minor complaint was that the chicken was just a tad salty, but it wasn't enough to take away from the overall experience. The two women working the register were friendly, welcoming, and professional, greeting everyone with big smiles. The dining area inside was spotless, there was plenty of indoor seating, and parking was easy with lots of available spaces it was very clean! If you're looking for flavorful Hawaiian BBQ with crispy, juicy chicken and excellent customer service, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again. 9/10!

Recently, we found out that they moved to a new location, which is actually a lot closer to us. We ordered our usual (2 chili peppa boneless combo plates of spicy garlic and garlic), but sadly, it just wasn't the same. The chicken wasn't as crispy as before, and it hardly had any flavor. We were disappointed, but we're willing to give it another try. Hopefully, this was just a one-time thing.

There was plenty of seating inside and out but I also went in the middle of the afternoon. I'm sure seating may be difficult during rush hour here. Don't be discouraged if you see a long line, the service is fast. Expect to spend $15-$20ish a plate. The only things I didn't like were the sides when bought separately. I got a side of mac salad and there was barely any. I got more in the actual plate. If I had to get a side again, it would probably be a musubi since there's no way they can skimp out on that.

I meant to review them leaving now my last trip here, but never got to it, but what I can say is the apriete of fresh fish, Korean short ribs, katsu ahi, shout ahi poke, Mac salad, Kim chee , nothing disappoints. So much flavor, so fresh, so perfect. Grab some spam masubi or shrimp lolli for a snack, or da roots plate or da mento f*ckin bento for a full meal and treat yourself to the islands.
