I had a very disappointing experience with the customer service. Despite there being no one ahead of me, it took quite a while for my order to be taken. What made matters worse was that while my order was being prepared, the staff stopped working on it and prioritized a worker's friend who had just arrived, completing their order first. This felt unprofessional and inconsiderate. read more

Clean and very friendly employees. Taste so good! Will come back. Salmon are fresh and so does tuna.

Great service!! MJ, Mack and Kate helped us, will definitely be back. The tuna is very fresh. read more

This is a fresh, new location located within a mile of Fullerton College. The establishment is clean, with friendly employees. They offer a variety of options for poke bowls and poke burritos, with many different proteins and toppings. I have ordered takeout here a handful of times now since they have opened and every time it has been good with improvement to the previous visit. The poke bowls keep getting tastier! The portion sizes are also fair. It can get a little pricey though, so make sure you are using their rewards system! read more

It's very unlike myself to try a restaurant that had just opened up but since I've been craving a poke bowl for quite a while now and my favorite spots in the Fullerton/Brea area have gone downhill over the years so I decided to try this place out! I was greeted immediately even as the front of house workers were serving another person already. I was met with three friendly faces which included a shift lead, their general manager, and what seemed to be the owner(?). Here's what I ordered step-by-step: **STEP 1 - BASE: White Rice. **STEP 2 - PROTEIN: Ahi Tuna & Salmon. **STEP 3 - MIN-INS: Cucumber, Onion, Edamame, Serrano Peppers, Cilantro, & Hijiki Seaweed. **STEP 4 - SAUCES: Sesame Oil. **STEP 5 - TOPPINGS: Sesame Salad, Surimi Salad, Green Onion, Pickled Ginger, Wasabi, & Sesame Seeds. The rice was pretty average. It was lightly seasoned with sushi vinegar. It wasn't steaming hot nor was it brick cold. The protein are not weighed but they are measured with scoops. The large came with 3 scoops of protein so I opted out for 2 scoops of their ahi tuna and 1 scoop of their salmon. The proteins itself had little to no flavor and they were also cut into cubes but very small. The min-inx including the cucumber and onion were both very flavorless but everything seemed very fresh. The serrano peppers had a nice kick of spice which was great! Everything from the topping section was just okay and nothing to write home about. I understand them charging for avocado but to pay 50 cents for a scoop of masago was disappointing. I love masago on a poke bowl but I didn't bother with that extra cost. Overall, very decent new addition to the poke craze in Fullerton. I can see this location doing quite well since there's several high schools nearby as well as college campuses. Everything was fresh but the flavor department lacked a little bit. Service was spectacular so shoutout to every single person I interacted with while ordering. Good place but I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon because there are more flavorful and affordable poke places within a 10 mile radius. read more

I ordered a build your own poke bowl through DoorDash on 9/12 around lunch time and got the salmon and lobster with the signature sauce. The toppings, fish, and sauce were all delicious so I was so disappointed to find that the rice underneath was hard and old tasting. It was like it had been left out for a while or put in the fridge over night and reheated the next day. It ruined the whole bowl and I could only really eat the toppings and the fish which left me hungry still ): I know I'm not the only review that has complained about the hard/old rice! If this gets fixed then the bowls here would be very tasty but until then I will not be coming back. read more

Esteban and Anet service was absolutely fantastic, making the food even more delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

More like Poke Not Works. The worst poke I've ever had in socal. Made me miss my 808 Foodland even more. First the musubi I ordered online was not in the bag when I picked up. The huli huli chicken plate looked like it was boiled in a bag and not grilled. The poke portions and toppings were miniscule. The rice was old and just inedible. For the price it was so disappointing. Never again. read more

MJ and Layla and Jaden are awesome! The food was awesome! Really fresh I'll definitely be coming back read more

I wasn't a huge fan of pokeworks Irvine but I gave this new location a try. It is better than the Irvine one with fresher ingredients. The fish tasted fresh and gave good portions. Decent pricing $16 for two protein choices. read more

Had an Ahi Tuna and Shrimp bowl and everything was perfect. Rice was just right as if i was eating sushi itself, not dry not mushy. Fish somehow tasted as fresh as when I went to Hawaii, wherever they get the fish is great quality! Had the black garlic aioli mixed with the Sriracha and it was delicious flavor combination. I was served by Fahmi and he was explaing what flavors match with the sauces and the different toppings. Definitely don't forget to add the sarumi salad. It was great to have a knowledgeable and friendly staff, even though I wanted a custom bowl they suggested highly picked combinations of sauces, fish, toppings that tailored the bowl to feel and taste unique. I even appreciated how clean the area was, not sure how they do it when its always full of customers coming in and out but they do a great job with the presentation from the restaurant down to the bowl. 10/10 would recommend and bring friends. read more

I'm extremely disappointed I came in and now with this whole new law about the paper bags my miso soup fell to the side. The manager clearly stated that the employee who was new forgot to saran wrap however, nobody was helping the new employee and they shouldn't have left him alone on his second date I called the manager was very unprofessional. He was in the background, making noise with the plates doing everything. He wasn't really listening to me as the client. I then again proceeded to ask him how he was gonna compensate me back because it was their fault as he stated, they forgot to saran wrap my miso soup, which means that this is the reason why my bag ripped if the miso soup would've been surrounded wrapped then it wouldn't of fell over and soaked the entire bag, and then my entire meal fell on the floor to top it off when I arrived, the guy told me that he was speaking to the owner who refuse to speak to me, and I find that extremely perfect unprofessional as this was my very first time coming here the manager stated that he was going to replace my meal on top of it, compensate me back for the product that I lost so I ran back over there to get my money and my meal. When I arrived I found out that it was a lie. It was one or the other he not only didn't compensate me for my meal. He continued to smirk and laugh, which is very unprofessional but then again it's a restaurant business. It's not very professional for it being my very first time. I am very disappointed. I did get my money back, but I did not get the meal that I was lied. I spent my lunch time doing this and it really really sucks. So if I could, I wouldn't give them a one star I would give them a zero start because I was very disappointed. I went back for a meal that I was ready to receive. I was ready to have for it being my first time. Yes I got my money back, but I was lied to and told that I was gonna get both my meal back and my compensation overall it's just very unprofessional and just out of an establishment that doesn't abide by what they say and I have it written down for it being a new place that I wanted to try and I was so eager I'm just really disappointed. I should've stayed with going over to downtown Fullerton to their pokey place. It's so sad. I should've checked the reviews before even coming in they definitely don't have the best reviews and the other ones look like they could be family members. Over all I'm sad this was my very first experience. read more

Preordered items thru the ClassPass app. Waited 25 mins for what's supposed to be fast food. On top of the wait, the food is terrible. No Lemonade and Tea available. No ice in the fountain drink machine. This place is poorly ran and the owner needs to quality check freshness of materials. Japanese food should be cold and fresh. All I tasted was dry and desert. read more

The nicest team and incredible options!!! Love this place so much, best poke in DTF!!

Always a wonderful experience coming to Pokeworks!! The food is so fresh and the people are wonderful!

Friendly employees and great music playing! The food was prepared nicely, really clean also

Food was very fresh and delicious. MJ was very kind and professional. I definitely recommend trying Pokeworks!

To start of, I was attended as soon as I walked in by a very friendly employee. The whole restaurant looks shiny, clean and properly maintained. I ordered a regular bowl which comes with two proteins and any toppings and sauces. I was out of there in less then 5 minutes and I drove home to eat my poke bowl. The fish tasted very fresh and the flavors mixed well with all my toppings and sauces. There's a lot of variety for those who like it spicy, sweet, savory or all 3. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. What keeps this from 5 stars for me was the portion sizes. I understand that employees have no control over this as I'm sure good quality fish is expensive but this even applies to my edemame, cucumber and other veggies. I got a small spoonful of each topping from small metal tongs. As I ate my bowl I enjoyed all the great flavors but wish I had more variety from my toppings in better proportions. Overall this place still has some good poke and I would likely return if I was in the area. read more

so this is a newer location but there were quite a few hiccups. first off the drink thing isnt set up. i had to go to the gas station next door to get a drink. the girl who was wearing the "shift lead" badge didnt wash her hands between customers. was touching her mask etc. i opt for a burrito. the rice was hard and crunchy not new and fresh. i wasnt given soy sauce. who wants a dry poke bowl or burrito. 2 young people working. very frazzled. my favorite location is still irvine location. good luck read more

Great Service! Staff member was very patient with me even though I kept having a brain fart every five seconds with trying to order! They have A TON of protein options! Small bowl is only one scoop of protein, Regular is two scoops, and a Large is 3 scoops. Kind of wish the small was two but that's totally okay! They also have a wide selection of sauces and toppings! Avocado is $1.50 extra, Masago is .50¢ extra, Sumiri is also .50¢ extra. Drinks options are mostly canned or bottled but they do have 4 types of fountain drinks (no soda, just lemonade and teas). The store looked very clean. As soon as I came in through the door there was a staff member out and waiting to assist me! I will definitely be coming back since it's so close to my house and also right next to Cal State Fullerton! read more

Mia at Pokeworks was awesome--super friendly, quick, and made the whole experience easy. Great service at this poke spot!

Kona and Caleb were amazing, love coming here all the time, overall great environment!

Tried for the first time today for lunch. Ordered a medium bowl with aji tuna and a lobster mix, with no additional purchases and it was $17.19. Yikes!! Pros: The bowl was delicious, the dining area was clean and modern, and the server was nice. Cons: Way overpriced. Lack of protein options. My go-to poke spot offers scallops and albacore, and this place doesn't. Small portions. They tried to bribe me for a 5 star review. She offered me either a free beverage or snack (musubi) for a 5 star review. (By all means, offer incentives for ppl to give an honest review of your business, but don't tell them they have to give a 5 star before they even eat the food. Shady.) For bomb poke with generous portions, go to Poke & Tea Company on Euclid in Anaheim. read more

I really tried not to do this review. But after I forced about 2 3/4 cups of rice down, I had enough.. I swear this 3 meat burrito had about 3 cups of rice and maybe 3-4 ounces of protein & that's with the 3 protein option. I really didn't wanna do the review, I was hoping the protein was in the middle or at the bottom, because that happens sometimes but no, it was 99.9% rice the full way through. Feels like a rip off on a to-go order, because I had an order that was fine the day before. It's probably best to go inside because it appears they make their money back by finessing to go customers, even when they're paying $20+ for a three protein burrito smh. read more

Pokeworks - The rice to 3 protein ratio is insane. 3 cups of rice in 1 Poke Burrito - Large (3 Proteins) - Poke Near Me - Fullerton, California

The food always tastes fresh and Esteban did an amazing job! Honestly one of the best experiences I've had at this place. Esteban's service was goated he made sure I got all the toppings I wanted and even made sure I was okay with the toppings that costed extra. He went out of his way to ensure my food was exactly how I wanted it which was amazing! I like the quiet ambiance of the store they play good music and make sure it's comfortable if you plan on dining in. After working out at the gym I recommend getting your protein here (if you like poke) they got great flavors for their sauces and decent prices. read more

I used to be a regular here because their flavors, especially combined with their Lava sauce, were incredible. But for some reason, they removed the lava sauce. It was the one thing that they did right there, and what set them apart from other poke places & kept me in business with them. I am truly disappointed in this change and won't be returning. They removed the best sauce on the menu unfortunately. The service was great, the workers were very kind. The ambiance is very quiet and u can often hear the hum of the water machine going off.

I was very satisfied with the food and service when I first came to this restaurant a couple months ago, but upon returning I was a bit disappointed. I got a medium poke bowl and the workers who prepared my order and rang me up were SUPER nice and friendly! My bowl tasted okay though... the fish was cubed super small compared to other poke places, which didn't affect the taste but made it feel a bit "cheap." The biggest thing for me was that the rice was a bit hard, which really ruined the bowl for me. I want to come back but am hesitant because of the last bowl I got, especially since a poke bowl isn't cheap and I wouldn't want to deal with the same disappointment. Other things to note that may be helpful: they have a large fish selection including marinated fish, so you definitely have options. Same with the topping bar, but I believe they charge extra for a scoop of masago and avocado. I ate in store this time and it was very clean, the ambiance was good- not too noisy. I would say it is a bit on the pricier end, but that's to be expected with most poke places! read more
