The poke bowl was good. The salmon was great. They didn't skimp on the topping portions. The service was friendly and helpful. The cost for 2 large poke bowls and 1 canned drink was around $37 kinda pricey but it's kinda expected considering the area its in. The ambiance was okay there's no seating in or outside the restaurant so unfortunately you got to take it to go. The menu was self explanatory which was nice. Over a good experience. read more

Poke Wave - Large 3 scoop protein, (salmon) and rice bowl with toppings. - Poke Near Me - Anaheim, California

Found this spot on Yelp and it totally hit the spot. It's a small, to-go only shop with some of the freshest fish I've had in the area since moving here a year ago. I got the 3-protein regular bowl (salmon, octopus, and albacore) with ponzu, and my wife had the octopus kids bowl. Both were fantastic. Great flavor, healthy portions, and friendly service. Happy to support a local small business--we'll be regulars here for sure! read more

My grandson said best poke EVER!! Service was good. Not much dining area but okay for the 3 of us. Fish was fresh and sauces good. Great variety of drinks. read more

As this is our local Poke place- I have been a number of times. Parking here is a breeze as it's in a large center and the Rite Aid is no longer leasing one of the largest buildings in the center. This place is always fast and easy when we come. The fish always tastes fresh and the toppings are always fresh as well. I often get the crab (which is included as the extra topping), as well as the tuna/salmon/spicy fish combo. I ALWAYS get the house dressing with 1/2 spicy mayo and it's always great. Overall, this is a great little local poke place and you should check it out and give the your business! read more

Had the regular poke bowl, great deal for everything u get. 3 protein choices. Hit the spot! I would come here again. Also the Yuzu sparkling water was tasty. The owners were very nice and pleasant. One small suggestion: turn on your lights so the place looks more vibrant and open from the outside. Thank you!! read more

Poke Wave - Regular poke bowl :) - Poke Near Me - Anaheim, California

I tried this place for the first time and got a poke bowl with spicy tuna and pretty much every topping with medium spice and side of miso soup. The food overall was really good! Everything tastes fresh and flavorful. The service was very good and friendly. The shop itself is very small but it worked out for me because I was taking my food to go anyways. I'd definitely come again if I'm ever craving some local poke! read more

Great poke to-go place - they had my order ready exactly when I placed it for. Fish was fresh, and employees were really friendly. They had a lot of protein and topping options. I didn't realize until I read everyone's comments that miso soup comes with every order. We placed an online order for two bowls but I think they forgot our miso soup :( Hopefully I get to try this next time! read more

This place is delicious. The rice is perfect. The fish is fresh. They have the best soup period. The staff is nice and patient explaining the many choices. Price is solid and the portions generous. Really enjoy this place. read more

My favorite Anaheim local poke shop. There are simply none that can compete with the flavors that poke wave provides. Only small annoyance is I personally wish their spicy sauce was spicier. I appreciate that they provide a warm miso soup with every purchase. I can't eat large portions so the smaller size is great for me - especially because no one likes to save poke bowl leftovers ;) the hosts that run them are so kind. come here and try out their bowls! You'll be coming back again for sure. read more

i have been walking here for my lunch/dinner and my experience has been so great!! i LOVE their salmon, it tastes so fresh and i love the sauce that makes it extra delicious and creamy, i always pay for an extra scoop! their crab meat is amazing as well. also i love canned dr. pepper and they offer it. the portion size is a lot for me personally, i tend to have a lot of extra for myself for the next day but that's better for me. the menu is very easy to understand and they're super quick with making the bowl, i usually spend a max of five minutes in there. the staff is really friendly too, i think it's a couple and their daughter so that's super sweet and i love to support :) before they put their main (salmon for me always) in the bowl, they usually put it in a small bowl and properly mix the sauces with the main before adding it to the rest of your bowl, which i appreciate and love as it gives consistency to the creamy taste! as for portion size (again), i'm telling you the portion size is great for the price imo! it's around $15 for the adult one, three scoops of your main (ex: tuna, salmon, etc.) and i usually have extra for another meal, and given how much scoops and how generous they are with all the add-on's, it really is worth it!! i love their salmon so much so i get an extra scoop which is $2. even the kids one is worth it as well, perfect for those who need a quick bite and/or have a smaller appetite or is for a child :) i get a canned drink as well, which is only $1.50!!!!! everything is so affordable and worth it in my eyes, please take the time to visit and try this place :) read more

This poke spot will always hit! The portions and quality of fish are like no other!! It's so hard to find a good poke place nowadays that charges a great price and gives a great quantity. A lot of places are 18 dollars now and the fish has a fishy smell to it. However poke wave is different. I believe a family runs it and they are so so kind. There is never a weird smell when I go into this cute corner shop, it is always clean and organized. I always get a regular bowl with salmon and they are extremely generous. Words can't describe how much I love this place. I pay around 15 dollars I believe for 3 scoops of fish and as many toppings as I want!!! Last time I went they did a complimentary miso soup as well! I hope this place stays around, although is a bit far from me, I will definitely make the drive for some great quality poke read more

food is good, service is calm, theres no music or anything, but the kindness of the people there and food make up for it

This little gem has been in this shopping center for years, but I only discovered it a month ago. I asked a co-worker to get me something from wherever they were headed to, it was Poke Wave. He got me a spicy tuna poke bowl and I absolutely loved it. I've been back four more times all in August '25. The fish is fresh, the place is clean, the choices are immense, and the staff are kind, and easy to work with. I appreciated how they helped me navigate the menu. Couldn't recommend something more. read more

The food is so delicious, I drive from a city that's 30 miles away, it's that good! The service is amazing and the workers are so friendly.

Legit one of the best poke spots I've been too. Moved in the area and have been coming to poke wave since may 2025. Never had a bad experience. The fish is always fresh. Overall it's a great poke spot. read more

I've been here several times now and it has been a great experience every time! Food is fresh and everyone working is super friendly and they work fast. I love that there's a free miso soup with your meal read more

My favorite poke place. Service is so friendly and I am regular here! Best place to get fast poke

yummy!! tiny place, be warned that it is def takeout only. like i was given a lid and a bag without asking for one. it is not a dine-in place. the girl who made my food was super sweet! i really like how they mixed the fish, sauce, and some add-ins altogether in their own bowl before adding it to the base. it felt very coordinated instead of one thing in each corner the way some poke places do it. delish! read more

This place easily hooks its up more on the fish than any other poke spot iv been to. Great quality poke and plenty of protein for the price

Fish is always so fresh and they load you up with protein. This is always my go to poke spot when I'm back home because it is always so delicious. I always get the salmon and octopus and it never once hasn't tasted fresh and amazing. Such a good and yummy spot that is my absolute favorite! read more

There maybe poke places every corner, but this is true mom-and-pop, always with warm greetings when you walk in. What makes me the happiest and most appreciative that they don't charge extra for avocado :) read more

I stopped by to grab something to-go for lunch. I ordered the kids size bowl. It was a perfect portion for me. They had many different options to customize your own taste. You can also add a miso soup. It was very delicious and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall I was really pleased with my experience here and look forward to coming more often for lunch. read more

I don't know how long this poke spot has been open, but I'm so happy I found it! This is one of the few poke spots that mixes the protein with the sauces in a separate bowl and then adds on top of the base. I have been desperately looking for a poke bowl place like this! They also have an incredible crunchy cream cheese topping that I've never seen before. I love this place. read more

Very nice girl at the register who instantly greeted me with a smile, even though I was slightly surprised by the small square footage. (Don't plan to dine in because it's tiny.) I feel like poke is my love language and this place did not disappoint but be forewarned that it's a little different. For starters the bowls are small, probably what portions should be, definitely not what we're use to in America. I was happy that every bowl comes with miso soup (it was 50 degrees), but it's just the broth, no tofu or green onions. The proteins looked fresh (except I'm not use to seeing masago cooked like yellow tofu like that, maybe I misunderstood IDK). Their recommended "house" sauce and spicy mayo were a little lacking so if I go back I really need to ask about those other flavors. I got spicy which could have been spicier but the jalapeños had the real kick! Overall, I'd go back but I can't be extra hungry that day. read more

Great local quiet spot. The gentleman that helped us today was so nice and gave great suggestions. Every ingredient is so fresh and tasty! read more

fish is fresh and decently priced for a regular bowl. 4 stars only because they don't have seaweed salad here.

Support your small businesses! I live around so many fast food places like Chick-fil-a and Cane's that it's so easy to get into the mindset that fast food = cheap and fast. I was craving poke, and saw this place 10 min away from where I lived, and decided to come. The first impression I had was this place is tiny. It's a brick and mortar at the end of a building so understandably they only allow one party in at a time. I got there as soon as they opened and got out in ~5 minutes! I'm super grateful because I usually spend about 15 minutes at fast food places because their lines are so long and the food is unhealthy. Their service was friendly, and you get a bowl of complimentary miso soup. The portion is as expected of a regular size. The food: - the seafood is fresh so it's really yummy!! I would recommend their salmon and spicy tuna 100%. The crunch garlic and onion are so good so I highly recommend getting these in your bowl. Tip: - You can preorder on their website before going in. They only let one party in at a time so I can see it getting busy during lunch/dinner time. - You can get a scoop of avocado for free! - They only have 2 sizes: regular & kid, but extra protein is $1.50 per scoop so it's a good deal. - They have some outdoor tables, but they're shared with the other restaurants so might get hard to get seating during peak busy times. They don't have as many options as other poke bowls for protein and topping. However, the quality is good! read more

Poke Wave - Regular Bowl - Poke Near Me - Anaheim, California

Very good and healthy food. The price is very reasonable as well. The service was very good and fast.

I kept an eye on this restaurant & I wanted to try it for a while. The time came, and I tried it. Cons: there is no place to eat, you just eat at bagel me table outside, but I felt weird eating on the street alone. Customer service: 100% super nice & friendly The freshness of the fish: fresh fish Do not get me wrong, but I was expecting more with the flavor & the sauce. I got medium spicy & I barely felt any spiciness The cream cheese with sesame side was a topping, but it didn't compliment my dish at all ( it's optional & up to your preference); for me was a new topping that I wanna try. In terms of the price, I wouldn't say expensive since it comes with miso soup. Or they should lower the price & charge for the soup ( I don't know); it didn't bother me. Miso soup wasn't my favorite. I was expecting more flavor out of it. Because it's complimentary, I will not say it should have little pieces of tofu or anything. Overall, good experience & glad I stopped by today!! read more

All I can say is wow, Poké bowls are amazing here, staff was Super friendly and my order was on time, tastes really fresh and looks clean

Missed This place it's been over 2 years. I am so happy that I came in and the owner was like it's been two years since the last time I saw you. It is absolutely yummy and one of my favorite restaurants. If you're ever in the area and you want some good Poke please stop by. read more

We hadn't eaten out since the lockdown started but someone posted that this business was broken into twice and I knew I wanted to support them. I went in after work near their closing time but they still had good selection. Under $10 for a regular bowl (they also have a kids size) including avocado and crab meat. You get a choice or three types of rice and salad for base. Three scoops of fish but you can add more for extra (I think it was something like $2 a scoop) then a good number of toppings. The ponzu sauce was perfect for someone that doesn't like spicy. Complimentary miso soup included. The couple working there were very nice. We were really happy with the food. Everything was fresh and yum. I didn't even know this place existed but will definitely be back. read more

This new tiny poke place is not one to be missed! Came here for lunch one afternoon, the lady that was working was very helpful and patient as we studied the menu to make our decision. We ordered 2 regular bowls (3 scoops of protein). I had two scoops of salmon and one scoop of ahi. My husband had one scoop of octopus, ahi and one more (I forgot). After choosing the toppings I liked that she mixed all the toppings, fish included, in the sauces before putting it on our rice. Yes, the pieces of fish are chopped a bit small, but it makes it easier to eat. It also included a bowl of miso soup! How's that one!? It was a really nice touch! Yes, I would recommend this place and yes, I definitely will be returning!!! read more

Being on Whole30, I am eating an unusual amount of poke since I can control what goes into my bowl, and hence, ensure a clean Whole30 compliant meal. This has made me become somewhat of a connoisseur of poke joints, and all the subtle intricacies. Also because I can't hide any flaws in the ingredients with sauce, I can evaluate the bowl on a more purist level. Here's my analysis of Poke Wave: PROs: * The best thing about Poke Wave is that they don't charge for avocado. * They seem to use better quality sesame oil than others. * They offer complimentary miso soup (although I haven't tried it). * I like that they use fresh cucumbers, instead of the sweet marinated cucumbers that some other places use. * They don't solicit a tip when paying with a credit card. * Most importantly, fresh and clean. CONs: - I wish they offered fresh spinach as a base option. - I wish they used more planet-friendly containers. - Closed on Sundays These very minor cons are the only I can think of. Clearly, the pros outweigh the cons at Poke Wave. Go check them out! read more

A MUST TRY!! I was only passing through the area when I decided to try this place out. The nicest people served us and gave us generous portions. Sooo many options for sides too I was very impressed. The poke was 10/10. We will definitely be coming back soon!!! read more
