I'm upgrading their rating to four stars because the poke bowls have been consistently great over the years. Pokestuf is good for dine-in or take-out and the servers are always friendly. They're my pick for poke in Alhambra when I don't want to drive over to Pasadena. The portion size is great, the regular bowl fills me up and they don't skim on any toppings. The variety of toppings and sauces are good, my favorite is the sriracha mayo. They only offer ahi tuna, salmon, and albacore, but all you really need is ahi tuna and salmon for poke. Tip: you don't need to order mixed greens for your base, as they already include salad in the toppings. I usually get a mix of brown rice and soba noodles. Keep up the great work, Pokestuf! read more

Pokestuf - Regular size Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

This is the best place for poke salad bowls!!! Their dressing is sooooo good. A large was definitely too much for my sister and I but man... did we regret NOT getting all salad. Salmon was fresh (except for my 2 fishy pieces) but hey, could be worst. Workers are friendly and definitely appreciate all the free toppings! Some build your own bowl places limit how many items you can choose and give you small portions! Sriracha Mayo was a bit too heavy so I will stick to the lighter sauces next time. Too bad this place isn't closer to home.. would come here all the time! read more

The food and staff were amazing! Since I already have a go to poke spot, I am a little hesitant of trying new places thanks to a bad experience. Thankfully, this place was great. I got a Large and it is a good amount of food, the cashier was really good with helping breakdown the menu since it was my first time there, and the music was good too! I like the marine decor inside as well. I will definitely recommend it and will be coming back read more

Not the best poke place I've been to, just average. The portion of fish was very small considering the price. Like other reviewers mentioned, the portion of the salad was a lot but in comparison with everything on top, it didn't match. I even got half brown rice and half salad and there was so much rice but I ain't paying for rice haha. I also didn't like that additional toppings were $1 extra, like if you get seaweed salad, then crab meat would be $1 extra. Most places have seaweed salad and crab meat as included additions, not for extra charge. I was surprised by this. Everything tasted great but compared to other nearby poke places, I wasn't wowed here. read more

I like coming here for their soba noodles which most other poke places don't offer. Additionally, this is a solid poke place if you're around the area. Their sauces are really tasty and they portion it with the fish perfectly. They also give a good amount of food and fish as well. Their menu is a bit limited in the fish you can get as it is only ahi tuna, salmon, and albacore. There are also some premium toppings such as crab and seaweed salad that you have to pay extra for that most others give for free. I still enjoyed my meal and it was still fresh and tasty. I just hope to see more options added in. read more

Woohoo! Glad I pressed through with my original plan to pick up food from Pokestuf. Almost changed my mind as it was getting chillier. Placed the order over the phone. The person who answered was very helpful answering any questions I had. Quoted 5 minutes for pick up. As I drove closer to Pokestuf, happy memories washed away my weary day! I remember this was the first poke spot that opened nearby after I had my very first poke bowl in Old Town Pasadena. Then, of course, poke places started popping up in several convenient locations over the years. I brought several friends to try the poke here too. Pre-pandemic, it was nice to dine in as it's situated on a sunny corner. I think we had played some games too. And there was self-serve refreshing drinking water. I hope I'm remembering the right things as it's been years, haha! As I ate my regular bowl of a mix of ahi, salmon, and albacore, my body started to feel revitalized and I started to smile! Wow, what a healing meal. Got half brown rice and half mixed greens for the base. The mixed greens are not the typical spring mix salad that tends to get wet and mushy. The ones Pokestuf use are hearty leafy greens! Mmmmm... the photo does not do it justice. Great combo with all the free toppings in both of the first two columns minus the red chili flakes. Added the seaweed salad too and chose Lemongrass Ponzu for the flavoring. The regular size was just the right amount for me. I think I would get the large for a post-workout or hike meal. Parked on the street out front, paid inside, and picked up my food. There was a sneeze guard to protect both the cashier and me. Out in less than a couple minutes! read more

Pokestuf - Mix Of Ahi, Salmon, Albacore, Regular, with all the free toppings, minus the chili flakes, plus the Seaweed Salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

Still one of the best poke spot I have been to and will continue to go too. Service is great and food is delicious, this place is pretty much awesome ! read more

Pokestuf is hands down my favorite local lunch spot. Their service is very fast and friendly, and the order pickup process is super easy and always ready by the time I arrive, even if I order only a few minutes in advance. It's conveniently located on Main St. The poke is always so fresh and tastes amazing. I have tried most of the sauces; my top 3 are the Miso Habanero (very tangy and spicy), Cilantro Yozu Kosho, and Lemongrass Ponzu. I eat here multiple times a week for lunch and love every bite. I do agree with some of the reviews that sometimes they might skimp on the protein amount they provide, but there are other times when they do provide a decent amount. Its a hit or miss. As for taste, service, and quality? 10/10 read more

It was raining and I was craving poke to eat while watching Netflix. I strolled to Pokestuf for takeout. I ordered the regular bowl with mixed greens and all ahi tuna. The sauces I selected were sesame shoyu and lemongrass ponzu. Since there were so many options, I was glad the friendly cashier offered me samples. For toppings, I got all the free toppings available and picked seaweed salad as my free premium topping. After getting home and eating, I'm happy to say that Pokestuf does serve good poke. The mixed greens were all crisp and fresh, while the tuna were largely cubed and did not taste fishy at all. Sauces were added in just the right amount to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredient without making the entire bowl soggy and wet like some other places. Overall, I was very happy with my bowl and will definitely be coming back in the future. Even though it's slightly pricier than some poke places, I was literally so full from the amount of food I got. Worth it! read more

Good serving size & their fish are really fresh! I enjoyed the large bowl with all 3 of their fish options, each bite was a surprise. Interestingly they have soba noodle as a base, but I stuck to my comfort zone of getting half rice and half salad lol They have plenty of parking in the back, and wait time from ordering to getting the food was not too long. If I can rave about one thing it would be their sauce selection!!! You can get up to 3 different types free of charge, and it almost feels like the combinations are endless. I love spicy and went for sriracha mayo, sambal spicy & miso habanero... let's just say I got a bit emotional while eating it. read more

Pokestuf - Large Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

This place is not bad! I came here during my lunch break and ordered a regular poke bowl with salmon and brown rice. I ordered everything from the included toppings area and a few other things from the optional areas. I got the Thai sauce which was very light. They have a lot of different sauces so I'll have to come back and try others. Although I ordered brown rice, the toppings included spring mix so it was actually like half brown rice and half salad!! Portions were pretty good. Service is friendly. A pretty good amount of tables to sit and they also have board games if you want to play. They give you a piece of candy with your food too. Plentiful parking the structure in the back or some street parking. read more

I absolutely love this place! Pokestuf offers fresh and delicious poke bowls! I usually end up getting a regular bowl with the three fish offerings: Tuna, Salmon, and Albacore along with brown rice and salad. I love mixing it with the lemongrass Yuzu and miso honey sauces that are offered. They give pretty generous portions along with plenty of topping options! This is a definite must try if you love Poke bowls! The service here is also pretty friendly as well! Thank you Pokestuf for your delicious offerings! read more

The best poke ever!! I decided to stop by just for a quick lunch for the first time and was not expecting to have the best poke I've ever had. I eat poke very often. Simple, refreshing, great portions, friendly staff, and there is parking. read more

I usually come here and am greeted but today felt different, I came in on a Tuesday an hour before closing and I was given horrible service as if this girl didn't want to work. It's an hour before closing it would've been different if I came in 10 mins before when they were already packing stuff up and cleaning the counter tops. When she called out my name she just slid the food towards the end of the counter where I was standing and there was a bit of as if she didn't want to be there. Look if you want to come here the food is good just didn't like the service. Also I hope the owner tells her to fix that attitude problem read more

Never mind I had the worst luck I got food poisoning from this place /: you can already imagine

The rice is always warm here! Everyone is clean and the poke is always delicious. It's perfect for warm days because their AC is always on. Sometimes a little too generous with the spicy Mayo. Served quickly. read more

Pokestuf - Poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

Used to love this place but not sure why service and quality has gone down. Last two times we ordered delivery one of 2 bowls was missing. Their number doesn't work when you call to clarify or find out if the rest of the food is there. Normally I would assume maybe the driver made a mistake but the food was bagged and labeled without the items that were in the order. The fish quality is also inconsistent and couldn't even eat our food one of the last times we went because it had such a "fishy" taste to it. Bummed because we have been coming here for years and it's just one thing after another. read more

This was my first time here and they took my order even though I arrived a minute before they closed. They give a good amount of food compared to other poke places but regarding the rice or noodles. They don't have as large of a menu as other poke places. Their options are limited especially their protein choices. They have different sauces which I appreciate, but they don't put a lot of sauce on their dishes especially if you get it with the rice. The toppings are decent but they only allow 1 premium toppings for free. I would say that is somewhat typical of poke places, about half of them offer the same premium toppings for free and the other half charges for them. But I do wish they offered avocado as a topping. Additionally, more sauces you can add on top such as ell sauce. There is a parking lot right behind the store which is convenient. read more

So yum!! I'm a little picky with my poke but am so glad that I really enjoyed Pokestuf. Their regular bowl is a little under $13, which isn't bad compared to many of the other poke shops. The portion is pretty reasonable too! The fish is cut into bigger chunks and it was sooo delicious. I got a miso & sesame sauce mixed in with the fish and a spicy mayo drizzle. They also offer some other sides at an extra cost, which I didn't mind paying since the base bowl already included a good amount of toppings. Will definitely be returning for some more! read more

Pokestuf is my favorite poke lunch spot! What makes them unique is they have soba noodles on the menu that pair perfectly with their ponzu sauce with the sriracha Mayo sauces! The fish is incredibly fresh and everything overall is very fresh! The food feels light and everything just blends really well with each other! The workers make it really fast as well and there's parking spots in the back of the place! read more

Favorite place to eat Poke in Alhambra/MP area. Prices increased to ~$11. Not sure why. Owners and staff are nice, parking is limited behind the restaurant, and the place is always clean! They have boardgames and WiFi if you want to stay awhile, but it is located on a busy street. Instructions are easy to remember and they give a lot of rice, veggies, and fish. I normally get the regular size (L option), half brown rice half mixed veggies (spring mix; white rice or soba noodle options), salmon & ahi tuna (albacore is optional). Flavor: Lemongrass Ponzu or Sesame Shoyu. Everything in the 1st column (salad, avocado, cucumber, onion, masago, fried onion, furikake), 2nd: Edamame/sesame seeds, pickled ginger, 3rd: Free Add of seaweed salad. This is my favorite place for Poke in the area! read more

Food is good but out of the 3 times I ordered online they messed up my order twice. I ordered mixed green soba and got only mixed green. The other time I ordered salmon and tuna and got all tuna... The workers really need to be more deligent with the orders... read more

I been going here for awhile. This place is great for some quick and healthy poke. There's milk tea that comes with free boba. From all the poke places in Alhambra, I like coming here and the service is nice. They're able to answer my questions and let me try their flavors. Games and many free tables are in here in case people want to bring friends or family. I usually get a regular half rice and salad with salmon, add some toppings, and the flavor is sriracha mayo. It's so good! I tried the cilantro-lime but did not like it. read more

Pokestuf - Poke :) - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

After looking for some good poke I found this place and decided to try it. It was nice and empty, since I've been very aware about what I eat I ordered each item carefully. In the end I don't think what I got, which was basically, mixed greens, cucumber and salmon worth the price they have. I wish there were more toppings in order to make it worth it. The server forgot to put edamame in my bowl and forgot that I asked for a side of edamame for my daughter. My mixed greens were drenched in the sesame shoyu and it made my whole salad soggy. The flavors were good just not the best to make me return. read more

This place used to be pretty decent. I would come often since I lived on Main st, but I've since moved out to Monterey Park. My wife and I decided to order this through Uber Eats for old time's sake..big mistake cause I'm so damn hungry now. Sadly, I wish I could give this place a better score. Ordered 2x of the regular poke bowl through ubereats and it took longer than most. After the long wait only one of the bowls arrived. Now I'm hungry and kinda irritated. At least they didn't forget my wife's. She thinks her poke is so-so, she prefers Pisces poke to this one 100%. My poke bowl gets a 0 star... thanks for the plastic fork though! I'll keep it for when we get poke at Pisces next time instead. read more

Pokestuf - My missing order, thanks for the fork though! - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

My fave poke spot in Alhambra. The freshness of the fish (Salmon, Albacore, Ahi, Spicy Tuna ($ extra), Garlic Shrimp($ extra)) and the assortment/variety of the sauces, toppings, and premium toppings (Korean pickles ftw) put it over the top. I haven't had a bad poke bowl here and can't recommend it more. Parking+Ordering Tips: Parking in the back is easy and you can order in-store. Would recommend calling in your order or ordering in-store, DoorDash is up-marked like a mofo (reg bowl ~$11 In-store vs ~$16 DD). Service is quick. read more

I've heard great reviews about Pokestuf so I had to try it out for myself. Located on the corner street of Main & 4th Street - there is a 2 hour parking lot behind the restaurant on the right or street parking is also available. Regular ($9.50): Available soba noodle option for your base which is unique. I opted for the mixed greens and brown rice with ahi and salmon coated with lemongrass ponzu + sriracha mayo. On the menu board is a list of items that is standard with each bowl as well as a section for free add ons and premium items. The overall flavor of the poke bowl was pretty fresh and flavorful. Decent portion since you are paying more of a premium price for a bowl. I did like that avocado is a standard (free) item with each bowl but the seaweed salad and crab salad are premium items at $1 for each item (normally free from other poke places I've been to). Since avocados were not in stock at the time, I was given the choice to add an additional premium item for free. I opted for the seaweed & crab salad - I didn't like how both salads were combined into my mixed greens. Wish we presented with the option to have them on the side. There is also only three types of fish options to select from: ahi, salmon, albacore. Spicy tuna was an extra $1 charge! Boo. I wouldn't say this is one of the top poke spots I've tried but it isn't the worst either (in terms of quality and flavor). It does get pricey though compared to other poke eateries! read more

Pretty decent poke place in the area! I ordered the regular bowl with salmon and lemongrass ponzu. The fish and ingredients tasted really fresh and the sauce was perfectly tangy/savory. I love that you get to mix and match so much and customize it to your liking. Portion size was decent as well. This is more of a takeout place, but I'd def come by again next time I'm craving poke! read more

So damn delicious! I went with the regular size, and I'm so glad I did seeing as that it was packed so full of goodness, they had to tape it shut. I did add spicy tuna (it's my favorite) and went without the kale (I just don't like it). And really, not kidding, it was so good! Fish was fresh and tasty, it was so good! The 2 guys working were also super nice and helpful, and I like that kind of stuff. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Pokestuf - Yum! - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

A lovely spot for poke with a lot of customization available and so many options to choose from, whether it be components or sauces or add-ons! This place is great for a quick lunch or dinner. Breakdown: Food, 5/5: very rarely have I been to a poke place that not only offers soba noodles in addition to the standard rice and mixed greens options, but they also have so many toppings and add ons you can choose from! There are also a bunch of sauces (8 total when I went), and you can mix and match any combination of them! What blew me away though was the "premium add on" option (1st is free!) - Korean pickles are my go to, because they add a nice bit of saltiness to an otherwise pretty rich bowl; they also have other options like imitation crab meat and roasted jalapenos, depending on your flavor preferences. The fish is nice and fresh as well, though their choices are more limited than other places. Price, 5/5: for ~$11/bowl (pretty standard for a poke place), it's quite a lot of food. Usually I get one of these and split it over two meals, which makes it quite a worthwhile purchase, especially in hot weather. Service, 5/5: every time I have gone (3 times now and counting), the staff has always been friendly and awesome! They're very willing to walk you through options if you don't know what to get. Location, 5/5: again, downtown Alhambra, parking is easy. It's on a street corner and it's right next to a boba shop. What more could you want? Overall, I'm in love with this place and will always come back here for poke. Always. read more

Pokestuf - Regular bowls - Hawaiian Near Me - Alhambra, California

I'm glad I gave this place a try. It didn't seem like much when we first went in but it was absolutely delicious. For this place, parking can be found in the lot behind it. Make sure you part in the right parts because some parts are reserved. The menu is very simple. When I first saw the prices, I was shocked because it was so much higher than other poke places I've been too. However, after I looked at all the free toppings they give I understood why. I got a regular ($9.50) with white rice and spicy tuna (extra $1.00). I was a bit shocked because spicy tuna isn't usually charged extra. For my sauce, I chose siracha mayo which wasn't as spicy as I thought it would have been. You can get additional sauce for 0.50. As mentioned earlier the reason for the price being so high is that they include many toppings into the bowl already: salad, avocado, cucumber, onion, masago, fried onion, and furikake. You can adjust which toppings you want and don't want. They also have additional toppings you can add for free. They have another list of toppings where the first item is free and any additional for $1. Taste wise, it was very different from other poke palces I've been too. As I said most places don't already have toppings included in the bowl hence the price hike. The spicy tuna was also very good and was a good portion of meat. If you're looking for a poke place that will actually FILL you up, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

Came here looking for a poke place close to work. So I decided to give this place a try. One of the major draw backs here is that they only have 3 fish options that are included (ahi, salmon and albacore). The other protein options (spicy tuna, garlic shrimp, shrimp) are an additional price. Which to me aren't enough options, especially for that price. +$10 for a regular bowl and over $15 for a large bowl. Also I dont know if its an LA county thing but the scoops here are extremely tiny!!! I had a scoop of the ahi, salmon and albacore, and I could probably count all the pieces on 2 hands. It was definitely on the lighter side. Customer service was cool. The inside is nice. Large floor to ceiling windows to watch the business of life that is mainstreet. They have a soba (noodle) option as a base which is cool. Fish is nice and fresh. Overall though, it's not the best I've had but definitely not the worst either, but I wouldn't mind trying somewhere else either... read more

Ordered 3 poke bowls and 2 thai teas for myself and coworkers. All three pokebowls had complaints of being under seasoned/bland, and my personal bowl was slightly fishy. The two Thai teas were ridiculously over milked, resulting in a pale pale orange..lacked any flavor of tea. read more

I really enjoyed the poke from here. Compared to other places, this spot doesn't have as many options for protein. There's only 3 options, but the quality is pretty good. My favorite was the salmon, it was very buttery. You get two choices for the size of the bowl. The carb options the standard white rice, brown rice, and salad. I opted for half salad and brown rice and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the brown rice. Usually brown rice at other places are hard and dry but the brown rice here was soft and fluffy. The topping selection isn't too big. There's a couple of free toppings and premium toppings, and every bowl comes with one free premium topping. I liked how the sauce was mixed with the fish, rice, and salad so every bite had flavor. I liked this spot but bowls here are more expensive than most other poke spots I've tried for the amount of options you get. read more

I love this place. I give it an excellent rating because of the overall environment, the food, and the service. So I don't see a point not to give them a five star rating. First of all, the PARKING is easy. Beside the streets, there's also a long parking lot at the back of the store. Most of the times parking is easy! The store isn't big, but it's never too busy that you can't find any tables either. And there are bunch of card and board games on the shelf against the shelf free to grab for entertainment. So in essence, it's not only just a restaurant. People can chill and have fun while or after they eat. The FOOD is amazing here. I love the flavoring of their greens and the quality of the meat, especially the salmon. I usually get all 3 scoops for a large. Go with the brown rice. Though it's extra, the texture of the brown rice is good, and of course, healthier as well! The medium and large size almost looked the same. But the large size's box is a wider in depth. read more
