This hands down is always a 10/10. Has never failed me. Service is always friendly overall . The quality of the food is amazing, just taste way better! The place is very spacious as well, good set up. I always recommend this to my co-workers during our lunch break. Keep on grinding . Owner helped me once as well and was very kind .

This spot is hands down the best poke bowl places I've been to! The create your own option is fantastic. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, with generous portions and so many topping choices to customize exactly how you like it. The service really stood out. There was a young gentleman working this day who went out of his way to explain how to order and even recommended some great combinations that made my bowl even better. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name but he deserves all the credit for why me and my family had such a great experience. The space was spotless and welcoming. To a nice surprise, they even have beer on tap which pairs perfectly with poke. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the boba drinks. I tried the mango and Thai tea but both tasted watered down. Still the flavor of the poke and the servcie made this an easy 5 star spot. Definitely worth coming back! Thank you!!!

Solid 4 stars. The fish here is super fresh and high quality, which is the most important part! The topping selection is a bit more limited than other spots I've been to, but the portions are good and it hits the spot for a quick lunch.

Wow did I get lucky stumbling into this place! I saw it had high ratings & knew I needed to check it out across from my hotel. Not only was the fish and ingredients so fresh, the flavor profiles were incredible. I loved that they offer different spice levels depending on your taste. I have never seen that specifically offered in the sauce concoctions they create per bowl. I also opted for a spam musubi which I greatly enjoyed. The rice mixture was wonderful, sticky, and delicious. The service was exceptionally friendly & I was glad to have had such a pleasant conversation with the person assisting me. He really helped answer any questions I had! I would love to come back here!

A bunch of order not enough server

Super slow. Long line with Togo order and only two person prepared. A bunch of order. You need to improve your speed. The guys are so slow. Low morale.

I usually come here before shopping at the Costco business warehouse next door. The place is busy with office workers from nearby. They also have beer on tap as well as boba drinks. I got the small with 2 scoops of protein ($14.95). They have sushi rice, brown rice, tortilla chips, and salad for the base. They have a good amount of fresh fish such as salmon, ahi tuna, shrimp, spicy tuna, tofu, yellowtail, and octopus. I got spicy tuna and salmon with white sushi rice and salad with seaweed, masago, onions and cucumbers, pickled ginger, wasabi with their spicy poke sauce and unagi sauce. They weren't heavy handed so the ingredients were not soggy. The seafood tasted fresh and the portion was a good size. The staff was quick on refilling the utensil area. The place is clean and the staff is nice.

First thing is first when visiting CA, gotta get my fresh poke, BUT at a new spot! Alas Poke Bowl in Ontario! I tried their poke nachos with scallops, spicy tuna and salmon! Toppings wise I pretty much put in everything hahah except for wasabi. The amount of protein you get in your order is just the perfect amount! Not too little and not TOO much! It was literally covering the chips that I almost can't see it! It didn't taste fishy or not fresh, it was definitely fresh! I also got one of their on tap beers, and they happen to have one of my favored from Kona brewing, Longboard is a good go to! Also the price point with their pints is pretty fair! Pretty sure it was about $4-5! Bryan, the owner was personable and really nice! He made sure you're a happy customer before leaving his store!! Interior: bathroom for customers and everything is well cleaned/tidy all around! I was able to have my toddler run around for the most part! Parking: plenty of parking! Even when it's shared with Starbucks next door! Overall: I'll be back to get my poke game on when coming from TX!

Ahi Tuna and Salmon Poke Bowl

The fish is not fresh and has an off taste to it. The protein sizes are very small. Not worth it in my opinion.

Small tuna, brown rice, and vegetables, bowl
Gary O.

I got a small bowl with tuna as my protein. I had brown rice and vegetable with about three of pumps of ponzu. I was hoping they had quinoa, but they don't serve it here. This place has a lot less variety of toppings which was a disappointment for me. Pros: Good quantity of protein for a small bowl. Vegetables are 50 cents extra and avocado is $1.50 extra. The food was good, but I left there still feeling a bit hungry for more. I compare this place to other poke bowls and it just didn't meet my expectations. Not sure if I will return due to other locations that don't charge for the extras. The place is clean and the employees are nice. This rating was strictly about the food. Also, this place opens at 11 am and closes at 8 pm.

I've been wanting to try this place out since they opened & finally decided to try it since I was next door grabbing coffee. The place is very spacious. There are a lot of seats for you to enjoy your meal. I ordered the 2 scoop bowl for $14.95. I'm not sure how the system is in preparing the bowls. I noticed the first few people ahead of me had one person helping them prepare their bowl, so someone from the back came out to help me (I didn't get a name, but she had dark hair & facial piercings). She helped me at the first station with my base & mix. She seemed kind of rude, because it was kind of loud in there I had to keep asking her to repeat herself. For my base I asked for light rice & she kept adding more after I told her to stop (I guess she couldn't hear me either). After she put the base, protein & sauce in the mixing bowl she just left & said the other girl is going to help me. She didn't even mix it! She seemed annoyed! Luckily the next girl (with pink hair) helping me made up for the horrible start of service I received. I noticed they have fewer topping selections from what I've seen at other places, but that really didn't bother me because I usually don't get much toppings. I didn't add drizzle since I normally don't on my poke, but the girl recommended it, so she gave me some on the side. When I got home to enjoy my meal, I'm glad she recommended the sauce on the side. It brought out that umami flavor. My only negative is that I had more base (rice) than I did protein (which is why I usually ask for less rice). I would probably give this place another try if I'm ever in the area.

Bor pen nyang. The…read moreLaotian expression, more or less, for "sh*t happens." Your favorite Yelp correspondent and occasional Uber Eats driver found himself in the northeast corner of Ontario after ferrying a Mediterranean meal from my hometown of Diamond Bar to Ontario when my attention was riveted by the "Kra Z Kai's Laotian BBQ" signage alight on the building. Upon entering into the communal dining hall, I discovered that Kra Z Kai's apparently shuttered a month ago. I immediately noticed the long queue snaking its way to the register at Shootz. Though I was crestfallen about Kra Z Kai's closure, I decided to roll the dice -shootz my luck, if you'll pardon my brutal pun- and try out Shootz. I tabbed the best looking item on their pictorial menu- Their much balkyhooed Kimchi Buttered Katsu Chicken Combo, which comes with spicy Mac Salad and steamed rice tossed with green onions and furikake, a popular Nipponese seasoning comprised of minced dried seaweed (nori), sesame seeds and salt/pepper. The moneymaker dish is excellent. The katsu chicken has a nice but not overly crunchy exterior, drenched in a flavorful, Umani-rich sauce made of kimchi butter. Shootz has locations in Ontario, Whittier and Stanton, so I don't know when I'll have it again...but if I I find myself in Ontario again, then I'll definitely take -you guessed it- another shot.

I ordered the spicy shrimp plate, a spicy mixed plate, and the two chicken sando combo, which came with a spam brûlée musubi shot. Everything was pretty solid and flavorful. You can tell they do what they do well. That said, the menu is pretty limited. Most items are just variations of the same thing--chicken sandwich, chicken plate, or shrimp plate--so there's not a ton of variety. Because of that, it all kind of blends together. It's located inside a food court, which makes it super casual and easy to stop by, and parking is plentiful, which is always a plus. Overall, it was good and I'd come back, just not something I'm craving all the time. Solid 4 stars.

One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

The dishes I ordered were much sweeter than I expected, and the sweetness tended to overpower the savory flavors. If you enjoy sweeter Hawaiian-style food, you may really like it, but I was hoping for a better balance of sweet and savory. Ambiance typical of a Hawaiian food joint. Overall, a decent experience thanks to the great customer service, but I'm not sure I'd return for the food.

But the bbq chicken and bbq beef were right on the money. I did have a problem paying $24 for one combo and one drink, as even with these three items, I was still expecting the meal to not be more than $20 total. That will be the main reason I probably won't return. The service was good. It was quick and friendly. And the ambiance was alright too as everything was clean, efficient, and not distracting. I just agree with the statement earlier that there are better rice bowl, hawaiian, and/or teriyaki food joints in the area at either a much better quality or better pricing. This seems to find that line where what you get, though good, is a bit over-priced for what you get and there is no recourse to get something smaller because then you will be over-paying and still hungry. I'd almost give this place a 4 though because I did enjoy the meal quality-wise.

Incredibly friendly and very helpful with the menu in sorting out which sauce pairs best with the chicken katsu and they offered up a ton of sauce samples so we can really figure out what we like the best. The teriyaki was a little on the sweet side for me, but the blue lagoon and basil sauces were delicious (even though the blue coloring messed with my head a bit lol) The chicken katsu was delicious. So fresh! It stayed crunchy even taking it to go, which is a huge plus. As great as it started, they definitely have some small areas that they could improve on. Both the udon and the white rice tasted overcooked. The textures were off a bit. The fruit salad had lots of good fruit options, but every single grape had a small stem attached to it still. Is that a huge deal? No. Is it annoying to pick off or out of your mouth? Yes. The regular salad and the veggies were almost all cabbage. I ordered the salad assuming it was some lettuce blend, but it was all shredded cabbage and I found that a bit disappointing. On the plus side, I still tasted the salad dressing and it was delicious! The inside was clean and quiet. Decor was cute. Overall not a bad visit, just a few small details that would make them even better. I will be back and might just get extra chicken :)
