    Poke Mini Bowl - 16 oz
    Liz N.

    Ordered via Grubhub and had a great experience. The poke bowl was so tasty with fresh, spicy tuna. The packaging arrived in perfect condition and everything looked bright and freshly made. It was a really nice lunch for a quick bite. Flavorful and satisfying. I'd definitely order again!

    We ordered take out for picnic at the park. The price is reasonable for the amount of food we got. We ordered three bowls with salmon, tuna and octopus. I wished they put more sauce on top of it. I couldn't taste spicy mayo. The eel sauce was good. They also had $1 Musubi and $3 boba till 7pm. The Musubi was worth the price. I ordered an iced mocha boba, which was very sweet. The boba texture was mushy, not chewy enough for my taste. There's a parking garage near by so it's not hard to find parking. Overall, it's a good place for poke bowls.

    Regular Bowl (32 oz) is MASSIVE

    Thank you Yelp for steering me in the right direction again! The gentleman at the counter was really nice and he made me and my man two humongous supposedly regular sized pokey bowls. All of the toppings were fresh and we left completely full and happy. Bonus for the $5 Thai tea Boba drinks! This is a cute little shop in the Savita neighborhood. Just a couple of tables for outdoor seating. The inside is nice and clean too!

    I've only been once but I'm secretly obsessed with this place. Got the regular bowl which ended up being ~$20 but it ended up lasting me two meals so I'd say it's a pretty good deal! Their sauces are simple but I prefer it that way as some place's sauce combos can get weird & ruin the dish. The employee working that night was super sweet and pleasant. I took my order to go but the space seemed clean and had indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Amazing food and service! The portions are generous and reasonably priced. They also have great weekday promotions and a huge selection!

    My daughter goes here often, and she took me here for my very first Poké bowl experience. It's basically like a Subway assembly line, where you choose the size, white or brown rice, type of protein, and condiments on top. I'm not big into raw fish, so I chose tofu and shrimp, and a variety of toppings. The worker assembled it with care and efficiency. It was delicious. The place is very clean, with tables both inside and outside.

    First time here. Lucked out on parking. Kinda pricey. I ordered a small and it was $15.95. Topping are good but the onions and chives should be chipped finer. Portions were generous. Service was great. I think he's the owner. My friend also got a narration ice cream and loved it.

    The pros: * Besides the fish (which they give a pretty typical amount of), they pack on the toppings * Avocado and krab available at no extra charge unlike Poke Chop * Masago available without an extra charge * Stamp card available with a great perk (free bowl after purchase of 5 bowls) The cons: * Sauces/marinades very lacking in flavor * Spicy tuna was not good I really wanted to like Poki Bowl especially because they have a great stamp card system, but I just didn't find my bowl to be flavorful. It was pretty bland even with me choosing the spicy marinade and sauce. Perhaps I need to load up more on sauces next time? When I saw the employee prepare my food and she was pumping the spicy marinade, some of it kind of missed the bowl and ended up on the edge of the rim. Maybe that's why it wasn't flavored well, and maybe I should have said something but I didn't want to be "that" person and I thought she probably knew what she was doing, otherwise she would have just put more in. I would also pass on the spicy tuna here. I might try Poki Bowl again because perhaps something was off this night. I think they may need to revisit their sauces and spicy tuna recipe, because in my opinion these areas could use improvement.

    The gym I frequent often, LA Fitness, is just around the corner from Poki Bowl. Because it was so close I decided to grab a bite here post-workout. My boyfriend and I shared the regular sized bowl which comes with 3 scoops of protein. They have pretty much all the typical toppings of a poke shop and was surprised to see that they also offer boba and spam musubi. The poke itself was ok...I think The Poke Co. in the plaza across the street is much better. Their rice just seemed undercooked. There was a lack of flavor in the spicy tuna which is a bummer because that is my favorite protein to get. I will say I did appreciate how they offered a non-spicy sauce. The establishment felt clean and service was friendly. I will say if I was in a time pinch and needed a healthy meal I would probably come here but my boyfriend and I agreed that this is probably not a place we would particularly want to go to if we had the choice.

    This was my first time trying this place and I came in with high expectations after doing my…read moreresearch. The restaurant itself looked clean, which was a good first impression. 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've given this place so many chances due to their consistently high reviews, but I must be missing…read moresomething or just unlucky. Their fish quality was kind of gross last time, and they tend to over sauce everything else. I could not finish my bowl or even take more than 3 bites of my food. I did order the food about an hour before closing, but if the fish is going to decrease in quality THAT much, it is best to close earlier! I've also been many times in the morning and/or mid day and yet, still equally as unimpressed. At what point do you just admit it's not worth giving extra chances to anymore?

    I was spending the day in San Diego, but was heading back up to OC relatively early so I decided to…read moregrab a late lunch in lieu of dinner. I had been to SD twice before and wanted to check out somewhere I hadn't been. Enter Blue Water - the reviews and pics looks great, and the weather called for seafood, so I decided to head here and check it out. This Blue Water is located on India St in Mission Hills, though they have another location in Ocean Beach. Parking can be a little tricky, as there is no parking lot they are on a main road close to a split in a residential area. The interior is pretty spacious - the fish market is towards the front, and the ordering counter is in the back. Seating is spread out between the main area where the market is, a side room, and outdoors in the front. Decor and aesthetics are casual - very seafood restaurant-esque with straightforward design. The foot traffic set up so you order first and then find a table before they serve your meal to you. The menu is extensive - they have a large selection of fish that can be prepared several ways. It's a little overwhelming to take in, but there was no pressure for us to order; if there's a line all the more time to explore. I ultimately decided to get their mini shrimp tacos - these were served on a corn tortilla and topped with cabbage, tomatoes, onions, white sauce, and cheddar cheese with a side of tomatillo sauce. The tacos were great - super fresh, they didn't skimp on the shrimp, and all the flavors and textures worked really well together. I also ordered a cup of NE clam chowder which was good - not the best one I've had but for being in Southern California it held its own. Service was good - I'm seeing reviews of long lines but I think I came at the right time; there are barely a line to order and my meal was served shortly after that. Overall, Blue Water is a yes - I had a great experience here and wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in SD.

    Service is terrible. We have a baby and asked for a high chair, which was provided. But after I…read moresettled the baby and everything away, they asked us to move because we hadn't ordered, even though my sister was nearly halfway through the line, and there were multiple empty tables. The worst part is, it wasn't even polite when they asked us. All the employees were giving us attitude for something they didn't tell us when we arrived, nor when they gave us the high chair. They want all four of us to stand in line instead of sitting at the empty tables. They seriously need training on customer service, at least to show empathy, sincerity and apologize to customers. I guess they don't care because we're Asian and believe they don't need our business here.
