Food is mediocre for price as well as lack of customization options and strict menu orders , service was as bad as it was the first time I came here , employees always seem to have an attitude for doing they're job and skimp out on portions as well as move with no urgency whatsoever . Went to go return beeper when my food was ready and rude employee yanked it from my hand. Really wanted this place to be as good as other poke places I've been to but it's not worth dealing with the horrible service every time i have an angsty teenager take my order. read more

Service, the girl with the batial hat with bunch of pins. Was going too fast and frustrated when she would miss something I acknowledged her like with a wasabi I ask for a small dab and she ignored it and was about to put a whole spoon full. Asked again and her body language looked like she was frustrated because I told her twice. Other than that you guys are always great I'll always keep coming back. read more

Poke2 Grill - Poke Near Me - Downey, California

Is it possible to have bad poke??? Apparently. Cucumber should be mandolined and shouldn't be dry (consider making a very light dressing for it.) Poke sauce is extraordinarily lacking in flavor. Or maybe the staff just didn't put enough? Or maybe it's too dilute??? Idk but it needs to be redone. Why is the wasabi neon green??? Someone please send help. read more

It's been hot lately and of course we had to get Poke. The workers here are so nice and the food is great. I got the ponzu and spicy mayo sauces, definitely a must try! I'll definitely be back here. read more

Portions have definitely gotten smaller. I went for the first time in the summer and the 4 scoops half and half bowl was so filling I could make 3 meals of it. Now, they fill it up to about 3 quarters of the way. What happened?... read more

Great spot to come and get a delicious and healthy meal. Not only is the place spotless and inviting the service is on point. If you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal then this is the spot. I came in and had a salad you pick your base (rice, mixed salad or both ) then your protein (variety ) I went for tuna , crab meat, octopus and shrimp . Then come your veggies and fruits. I added cucumber , mandarin oranges, seaweed salad . Lastly your dressing and topping I'm not big into toppings and wanted a clean salad so my choice was a spicy sauce. Ordered a miso soup that literally hit the spot ! Highly recommend this spot . read more

So today I went for dinner to this location which I have always went to. To my surprise was super disappointed. The staff here are so rude. The music going on at this store is ridiculous, all I heard was gangster rap music , the staff laughing like if they are at a club. So I order miso soup and poke bowl with rice . Why do I go get my order and the soup was literally colder than the weather we are having, the bowl was served like if was for a child. So I go up to cashier to advise that my soup is cold and the ignorance of the worker started to giggle like if something was funny so unprofessional of this person. I get that it's a restaurant and they don't take their job serious , but really your all gonna giggle like it's funny. What happen to the owner !!!! being their at his store . If your gonna have staff like this you will lose business and the portion that I pay for is what expect. Also your location use to be clean and now it's a mess maybe instead of your staff giggle and being rude should clean up and have better manners . VERY DISSATISFIED, DISAPPOINTED, DISRESPECTFUL staff/ All DDD here . I wouldn't even give u one star but I have to give you one to put my review. Thinking of not even coming back here !!!!! read more

The place was clean and staff were friendly, especially since I pooped in 10 minutes before closing time! The food seemed fresh and it was tasty when I got home to enjoy. It's just another redundant Americanized poke store. Nothing majorly special but it's clean. read more

Nick was very friendly and gave great customer service! Food was also delicious. Will definitely be back!

WHY IS THIS RATED HIGH? Tasteless poke. No offense but whoever thinks this poke's good never had a better one. You can't even taste the ponzu. The salmon was not fresh. NOT RECOMMENDED. For $15 ( medium ) it is a waste of money Response to comments: 1) I stand by what I said. Worst poke bowl. 2) I got 2 scoops salmon and 1 scoop octopus with ponzu sauce. Somebody commented that I got octopus that's why it's tasteless. Uhmmm? So what happened to the salmon? 3) Looks plain because I was hungry and trying to eat as much as I could out of this $15 sad poke bar. read more

so I came in around 40 to 45 minutes before they closed and I get it, you guys wanna go home but literally everything was already packed up. like absolutely nothing was out so I couldn't even see what the options were . The rice was damn near cold bc it was already out of the warming pot. and not even to mention the girl who served me didn't even mix anything together. A manager needs to get in there & make things straighy cuz i feel like i wasted my money... read more

Poke2 Grill - Poke Near Me - Downey, California

Love it here this is my 5 time coming here and the workers are really nice and really generous with their customers

Even though the Poke2 Grill in Downey has been open much longer than the Poke2 Grill at Long Beach Exchange (LBX), I visited the LBX location first since it is much closer to me. They were the newest addition to the Hangar, and I wanted to learn more. One evening, I had a really nice talk with Sarah, who introduced me to the restaurant and gave me a laminated menu from this Downey location. I hadn't had poke before in my life, but that changed 2 days later when I made a return visit. I loved the poke bowl so much that I actually bookmarked several other poke places nearby as well as this Poke2 Grill on the west side of Lakewood Blvd not far from where the 5 meets the 605. I had an appointment in Downey after lunch on a Thursday, so I pounced on the opportunity to stop by this Poke2 Grill and try something different. At the time of my LBX visit, they hadn't opened the grill, so I had my mind set on that part of the menu. But which menu item to choose? When I walked in, there were a handful of customers ahead of me waiting to order the BYOB poke bowls. I was looking around for a menu, but the only one I saw was behind the poke toppings, which are on the other end of the restaurant, so you can't really read the menu while you're standing in line. You'd have to take 2-3 steps to the right to have a better look at the menu. When it was my turn to order, the hostess wasn't quite ready, so I took those 2-3 steps to the right, took a photo of the menu, and quickly reviewed it before the hostess was ready. It didn't take long for me to decide on the Crispy Fish wrap, but then I noticed a familiar face. "Wait, is that Sarah???" Yes it was! And she even remembered my name! After telling the hostess I wanted the Crispy Fish wrap, she directed me to the cashier on the other side of the counter to place my order. I probably should have done that to begin with, but luckily, I wasn't in a rush. As I went up to recite my order, I checked in on Yelp to redeem the Yelp check-in offer of a free fountain drink or miso soup. I chose the miso soup. I was looking for the Poke2 Grill rewards tablet that I saw at the LBX location, but all I saw was a FiveStars rewards tablet. I was so confused! The cashier told me to enter my phone number, but I told him I was expecting a different rewards tablet. Then, I asked, "Can you get Sarah for me?" and she immediately came out. I told her about how the rewards tablet I saw at LBX wasn't the same as the rewards tablet here, but she mentioned that I could just enter my phone number and score a free fountain drink. It took me a few seconds to understand that I'd be getting a wrap combo at the price of a single wrap, so that was pretty cool! However, having two different rewards systems at the two different locations still confuses me. After paying, the cashier got me my miso soup and put the bowl off to the side while the kitchen staff was preparing my wrap. I asked the cashier how long the wait would be. He asked a different staff member, who then told me it'd be 10 minutes. However, it was probably closer to 5 minutes before Sarah called my name. She gave me my wrap in a rectangular takeout box and also offered me some hot chili sauce. She was also going to get the miso soup, but wasn't aware the cashier had previously set aside that bowl for me. It probably would have been better to wait until the wrap was ready before getting the soup, but luckily, the soup didn't cool down that fast, especially since it came with a lid. I sat at a table near the drink station to enjoy my meal away from the rest of the customers. I opened the box and saw the crispy fish wrap cut in half. The wrap was in a wrapper, so it's possible to eat the wrap without touching any food. How did the wrap taste? I enjoyed every bite of it! Well except 1-2 where I was eating mostly onions, and I almost wanted to cry. I like onions, but that was a bit much for me. Nevertheless, all the other ingredients tasted fresh, and the wrap tasted better with the hot chili sauce that Sarah offered. In fact, I enjoyed the wrap so much that after finishing the wrap, I forgot that I still had a little hot chili sauce left in the open packet! Rather than eating the sauce by itself, I decided to use it on the miso soup. I ate part of the miso soup by itself. Not bad, but nothing special really. Then, I decided to try the hot chili sauce on the rest of the soup. While there was added flavor, it was too intense for me that I actually coughed! Whoops! My bad! :( Compared to the BYOB poke bowl I had from the LBX location, I don't know which tasted better! Both times, I legit enjoyed my meal so much that I didn't realize I had extra sauce to use until I was almost done eating! No joke! Also no joke that when Sarah asked me how my meal was, I said, "I loved it!" After finishing my meal, I got some Raspberry Iced Tea, which was pretty refreshing on a warm winter day. Thank you Sarah and Poke2 Grill team (again) for a wonderful meal! read more

Poke2 Grill - 2 scoops of spicy tune and 1 scoop of salmon With edamame, masago, cilantro, seaweed salad and ginger with spicy Mayo sauce - Poke Near Me - Downey, California

I've been to my fair share of poke spots, but I thought this was was super delicious. Well, I was also pretty hungry... that being said, the fish tasted pretty good. There are a lot of good options of veggies and add ons to fulfill whichever tastebuds you have. The price a tad more expensive than other places I've been to, but that wasn't a big deal. The plaza that it's in is pretty nice and looked pretty modern. If you're feeling fishy and I'm the mood for some healthy food, this could fit the bill. read more

Poke2 Grill - MEDIUM bowl with tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon - Poke Near Me - Downey, California

It's been awhile since I've had poke. Not going to lie, I was a little weary since I work in Pico Rivera... not exactly where you go for good poke if you know what I mean. This place had pretty good reviews so I decided to try it. First, the parking lot is easy. It's next to a jersey mikes, so if all else fails I'm getting a sub in a tub! Luckily I didn't have to do that. Started off with the stuffed avocado. They asked fresh or fried. I didn't know there was an option but, I'm glad I was given one. Fresh of course! It's the middle of the week. My body is my temple. The only thing is the person who brought it out to me was swinging the bag all over the place.... Literally. So it was rolling all over lol it's stuffed with spicy tuna, topped with imitation crab, and comes with some sauce. Tasted like spicy Mayo and creamy cilantro. It's good and filling. I could've probably just had that and been full lol I got the large bowl because I'm extra AF and want all the protein. The only thing I didn't appreciate is that the imitation crab counts as one of your proteins. Typically at other poke places, it's included. I got salad with imitation crab, salmon, albacore, yellowtail, and octopus. Not a whole lot of options but, it was fine. I would've like scallops but, that's me. I got house (spicy sauce and spicy Mayo. The house sauce was not spicy at all but, it was good. The person who helped me was very friendly. I would agree with the other reviews that there are a lot of employees who work there and kinda just stand around. Overall, it was good for being by the office and I'd go back. It was also a bit expensive but, so if everything else these days! read more

Poke2 Grill - LARGE bowl (salad) - Poke Near Me - Downey, California

This could be better. Customer service needs to be improved. The food is fresh and I'm happy with that, but the servers do not know how to make bowls? Consistently at least. They put things on your plate that you did not ask for and then missing some things that you did ask for. The server rushed at the end and messed up my order when there was no one behind me. That's upsetting. The cashier was on the phone with an upset customer who apparently was missing their protein and she said she'll have the manager speak to them. These are all bad signs, but there is potential. Please train your employees to know what the foods are so they understand when you ask for something and ask not for something. read more
