I stopped by this location to get a juice and realized there's a new business had opened up where the previous juice shop was. It looks like PokePort has made a home in Oceanside! PokePort Oceanside offers customizable poke bowls, allowing customers to choose their base (sushi rice, brown rice, or mixed greens), a protein (such as albacore, salmon, ahi or tofu), dressing (like wasabi or spicy aioli), mix-ins (like sweet onions, mango or tempura flakes), and sides (including avocado, kimchi or seaweed salad). Each bowl is priced at around $18, with options to add extra protein or additional mix-ins and sides for an additional cost. This chain also has locations in Wildomar, Murrieta and Temecula as well. I hear that they are a family-owned and this is good news. I was greeted by the friendly staff as I entered. I observed a few customers come in and order food TO-GO. The interior is very simple and direct, with not a lot of decor or anything that stands out to enhance ambiance. Although it appears spacious, there's also very limited seating available. So, it's a great place for lunch, solo dining and maybe a date, but not great for large groups of people. I watched a few orders be prepared and the process is quick and cordial. I ordered a simple tiger milk boba drink, but requested coffee be added and they were willing to accommodate my request and I appreciated that. I had already eaten, but I decided to get a customized poke bowl and I loved it! I look forward to returning to try their Korean Bbq Beef Plate. Overall, I feel that PokePort Oceanside is a great hidden gem in a corner of Oceanside that often gets overlooked, even though it's right next to the 76 highway. read more

Pokeport is located off Frazee off the 76 Highway. Parking lot is interesting as it has so many 20 min spaces but there's multiple places nearby but anyhoo. Pokeport is a humble little restaurant with a noticeable smell upon entering, though it becomes less noticeable over time. It's extremely clean and offers both a public and secret menu. Secret menu is on the door. I ordered the small poke bowl with two protein selections (i ordered scallops and spicy tuna). They offer a wide array of proteins, sauces, toppings, and other add-ons. With the many toppings they provide, they easily could have charged extra, so I really appreciated that they didn't (please continue to not charge extra :) i split my rice and salad which was tasty later on as the dish was able to absorb all the sauces of my selection. Service was great and they have coke products which is always a plus for me. If you create a review on google or yelp you get a free spin which has a variety of offerings such as a free boba drink or a fountain drink which is nice. Have to return to try the sushi burrito read more

I liked the variety of toppings they offered and how to give decent portions. I picking with sauces but decided to try the house poke sauce. Omg I so glad I did it was delicious. The blend of the fish, sauce, and toppings meshed wonderfully together. I'm so glad I decided to give this place I try. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Holy portions! Pokeport is tucked away next to the 24 hour fitness. Small shop serving up big flavor. The staff is friendly and there are a few tables to sit inside if you're looking to eat there, but I usually take it to-go. The fish is fresh tasting and there are so many sauces and toppings to choose from. And can we talk about the size of the bowl?! They're not stingy with their servings which is really nice. Poke in general can be pricey but I think this place is worth the price tag. It's one of my new go-to's so be sure to try them out! read more

As well they have boba! Which is a family favorite for us. The avocado also is not extra like some places. The prices are reasonable. This is a true gem. So glad we finally have a poki spot by our house. Wish I knew about this place sooner. read more

It is a 3.5 for me. Food was good. My biggest issue is how the fish is cut as pieces are too big IMHO, which then shows the fish is not the highest quality it could be. Portion was good, the ratio of base to protein to toppings was fair. Prices are in line with this type of food, so for the price of a sushi roll you get a bowl. Good value overall. read more

First off, let me say this. Having the right people matters more than almost anything in business. This place has one of those rare, hard-to-find employees. Her name is Kacey. Honestly, even if the food was average, I'd still give this place five stars because of her. She's that good. Great attitude, knowledgeable, and brings real positive energy. The kind you can't fake. And the bonus? It's the best poke I've ever had. Five stars. No question. read more

....it's giving PUNK'D vibes because this cannot be the Signature "BIG AHI BOWL"!! Not sure why the protein(s) - yes this was 2 scoops of protein, spicy tuna & ahi tuna- were smashed on the rice like a spread, but the ratio was totally unbalanced and looked nothing like what the menu photos (and yelp photos by owner) portrayed. I was baffled as he was reaching for the lid to close my bowl (because I was sure he forgot a scoop of something) and the staff confirmed that there were indeed 2 proteins already prepared in my bowl. For $18 and some change I'll have to say that the only thing BIG about this Signature "Big Ahi Bowl" is the price and the disappointment. read more

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer!

We ordered the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki entrées, and both were flavorful and well-portioned. Each plate came with the meat, a choice of two sides, rice, salad, and miso soup, which made it feel like a great value. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! And we had also ordered through DoorDash and came to pick up which was ready in about 30mins. Dining in and ordering out is great!

Family brought me for early Mother's Day Dinner and I had no idea such a place existed here in…read moreOceanside. The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.
