    Pokeland took me food coma land! I was a bit skeptical trying this place recommended by one of my friends that lives nearby. There was no one inside and the lighting was really dim. Really glad I tried it because it hit the spot and blew away my expectations. I got the regular bowl and it was absolutely loaded with poke greatness, I got 2 scoops of salmon and 1 tuna. Got ponzu for sauce too. The fish was fresh and didn't have a fishy taste. All of the toppings were just your average toppings except pineapple which was a good refreshing taste surprisingly. Would definitely come back!

    Whenever I'm in Mira Mesa, this is one of two of my go-to's for poke. The fish is fresh (every time I've gone), portions are solid, and they offer a good selection of topping and sauces.

    My large Poke bowl from Pokeland, San Diego Ca

    Aloha guys and gals! I decided to place a delivery order at Pokeland restaurant. I wanted to try their Poke bowl and was glad I did. I requested a base of brown rice and salad, added ahi tuna, coconut lemongrass salmon, shrimp, edamame, mango, pineapple, ginger, green onions, seaweed salad, furakake and sesame seeds. All of the ingredients were fresh and the citrus ponzu elevated the fish and shrimp giving it a tangy, refreshing flavor. The pineapple was added to sweeten the mix and let me tell you, I enjoyed every bite. I will definitely plan a future visit to Pokeland in person. Their online menu looked interesting and I saw some dishes I'd love to try. Until then keep those "onolicious" bowls coming Pokeland!

    We have been coming here quite awhile for poke, as they give generous portions and the prices are decent. It's usually not very busy (it's located inside a shopping area), it's very clean and there is ample seating inside. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I usually build my own poke bowl with 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad as a base, salmon and tuna (the small size is enough for me), and almost all the toppings; they pile on all the rice, fish and toppings to an impressive height. My husband's favorite is Triple Threat, it has 3 kinds of tuna and the seared tuna is pretty good. Once in awhile it seems like the fish isn't as fresh as it could be (and a bit flavorless), but otherwise the food is usually very tasty (they also have a variety of sauces). We will definitely keep coming back here for poke!

    Took my poke to-go! Salmon and tuna poke yum!

    This has been my go-to Poke place for what feels like almost a decade. I still go to other Poke places in San Diego, but this shop always does it for me, especially with portion size, price, freshness of the fish, and amount of toppings. For $15.99, I pick three proteins, typically tuna and salmon. They load the bowl up high and it's such a filling portion. Other establishments give less for more. Freshness of the fish is always good. Service is okay, you pick and choose what you want as they make it for you. Service is hardly exceptional or stands out, but for the food I get, I don't mind.

    Christine M.

    pretty tasty! conveniently satisfied my craving for poke bowls. ordered the salmon lovers bowl and added edamame. a friend ordered a build your own bowl with tuna. great portions for a reasonable price. the salmon wasn't my fave but the tuna tasted good! service was quick. plenty of seating inside and outside. quiet area.

    The number of poke shops that have sprung up around SD County has been incalculable. Pokeland was one of the earlier arrivals to the scene when it took over one of the internal suites in the Village at Mira Mesa. Judging from the foot traffic at the neighboring vendors in this foodie corridor, it was not one of the busier places especially when there's an AYCE sushi business on the front corner. I had finished visiting a boba tea shop across the way when I decided to pop in and support Pokeland as the only customer at the time. There were around half a dozen tables for seating in a well-kept dining room. The left menu screen featured five signature poke bowls. The center and right screens listed the bowl sizes and components for building your own poke bowl. A small bowl (two protein scoops) cost $13.99, a regular bowl (three protein scoops) cost $15.99, and a large bowl (five protein scoops) cost $18.99. The prices seemed fair considering some spots charge well over $20 for their large bowls. I picked the Tsunami which was one of the signature bowls. The preset ingredients included three types of tuna... regular ahi, seared tuna, and albacore. White rice, imitation crab, avocado, green onion, furikake, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, yum yum sauce, and eel sauce made up the rest of the contents. The seared tuna stood out because of the smokey flavor. The rest was pretty standard but was filling for a regular size bowl.

    This is probably my favorite poke shop in SD because they give SO much food. Toppings, fish, rice. When I ordered the small, they topped on so much of everything I asked for that the height of the final product was almost twice that of the bowl. The photo is from after everything was squashed by the lid. Pokeland has become my go-to poke place.

    It is my first actual experience for building my own poke bowel and luckily it was at @pokelandsd, i loved how generous they are and the combination of all the ingredients that they choose is at its perfection. I wish i had a strong stomach to have all these 4 bowels for me only

    Salmon and spicy tuna poke bowl
    Nancy H.

    I had $50 in expiring GrubHub money so I ordered $50 worth of poke bowl from here as takeout...Let's just say that even though free food usually tastes more delicious, that was not the case at all for the poke bowls we got. We actually threw them away without finishing, and we are NOT a household that throws away food. We ordered 3 regular bowls: -Salmon/salmon/spicy tuna with garlic ponzu and white rice -Salmon/salmon/spicy tuna with pokeland sauce and white rice -Seared tuna/scallop/shrimp with pokeland sauce and white rice The spicy tuna was this mix of unappetizing mashed fish. The salmon, seared tuna and scallop were flavorless. I think theoretically the dish could have been saved by the sauces but we could not taste any garlic ponzu or pokeland sauce in any of the bowls. Maybe the sauces were forgotten, and we are unfairly judging the bowls. But the dishes we got were basically just flavorless fish with flavorless rice. The only thing that earned this place its stars was ambiance (very clean restaurant in a convenient location that has tons of free parking) and very friendly/professional service from the cashier.

    this place still good was here 2 months ago and all fish is so fresh especially salmon my favorite. gives you a generous portion of all that us included to make a poke salad even guacamole is free fir 1 scoop. my fav here in san diego.

    Built my own poke bowl. Forgot to take a photo before digging in.

    I decided to try poke for the first time here and it was amazing! I was served by a nice young lady who was very patient and walked me through the entire process. The dining area was clean but there is some paint peeling off of the walls. Some decor would definitely go a long way, but the food and service earned it five stars. I would definitely come back

Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I placed my order online four hours in advance because I have a long drive back home to Julian and just wanted to pick it up and go. When I arrived, there was no greeting from staff, no clear pickup line, and no acknowledgment of customers waiting. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, only focusing on what was directly in front of them while ignoring everyone else. After standing there for quite a while, I finally had to ask about my order. Instead of it being ready like it should have been, they hadn't even started making it. I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line for something that was ordered hours earlier. What made it worse was when the mistake became obvious, no one apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. The staff acted like it was no big deal and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I don't come into the city often, but when I do I like to try new places. Sadly, this experience was disappointing and the customer service was extremely poor. I would honestly say save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values their customers--especially in this economy. Time is money, and money is time. If a restaurant doesn't respect your time, they're definitely not going to respect your money. As for the food, it was very basic and lacked flavor. They were also very stingy with the sauce, which made the bowl even more dry and underwhelming. Overall, between the poor service, long wait despite ordering hours ahead, lack of accountability from staff, and mediocre food, this place was a big disappointment. I will not be coming back. There are plenty of better places that actually value their customers. Thank you and have a nice day.

I ordered the Modern Caesar ($11.95) and added chicken ($3.95), and it was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant has a bright, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of natural light and a casual, upbeat vibe that makes it a great spot for lunch. It felt clean, comfortable, and inviting, whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go. The salad was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor, with the perfect balance of creamy dressing, parmesan, and crunchy toppings. Adding the chicken made it satisfying without feeling too heavy. It was exactly what I needed and gave me the right amount of fuel to keep going with the rest of my day. I've tried several other menu items here before and have always had great experiences, but this Caesar salad was exactly what I was craving. The service was also excellent. They took our order right away, and a team member was actively checking every order to make sure everything was accurate and running smoothly. It made the whole experience feel efficient and seamless. If you're looking for a fresh, satisfying lunch in a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a great choice.

Bad side as usual for downtown parking is never fun. lol.
