My poke bowl was good, fast, generously sized, and only $20. Poking Poki is located in a small strip mall across from Carlsbad State Beach. There are a few tables inside, but the space is fairly austere. My guess is they do a lot of takeout. I tend to gravitate toward poke since I can choose my own ingredients, and I'm a big fan of salmon sashimi. Poking Poki did a nice job building my custom bowl, though I would have liked more sauce options, especially non-spicy choices. That said, I'd happily order another bowl here, even if they serve them in square containers. Maybe they should call them "poke squares"? Tip: The large bowl is truly large. You may want to consider ordering the regular size. read more

This Poke place is located in the heart of Carlsbad Village and was the perfect snack for me and my family after an afternoon strolling and shopping through the Village. It'd call it the Chipotle of Poke, where you can pick your protein(s) and toppings. Everything was so fresh and filling. The spicy tuna and ahi tuna were incredible, and we had it over a bed of lettuce as well as the chips. We had it with the spicy mayo and soy sauce. I highly recommend this poke place because the food was great, quick service and very generous portion for the price! read more

Poki Poki Boba & Brewski - Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Amazing experience! I was served by a young lady who did a great job making our poke bowl. The ingredients were very fresh and restaurant was very clean inside. I thoroughly enjoy Poki Poki. I like the container it's in, it makes it a lot easier to eat rather than a usual to go cylinder container where everything is packed in. The miso dressing is also very delicious!!! I am happy to spend $20 on a large bowl here. Definitely worth it! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Food is gas and the staff are all really cool. Shoutout to the day shift people who have to put up with a lunch rush of insufferable tiktok generation Carlsbad teenagers that flood the place almost every day. "Yo Cody let's go get some poke! Kyle said we can use his dads golf cart" read more

We didn't eat here, but we did get a drink for dessert - tried & true Thai tea w/ boba. Servers were friendly & fast, the drink was delicious, & the place is really cute... bright, open, & colorful. There's a code for the restroom & it's nice & clean too. read more

Randomly stumbled upon Poki Poki as my family and I were wandering about the Carlsbad Beach and decided to grab some lunch-- let me tell ya about it ! Parking is shared between a few other businesses, but it seems cars come and go quite quickly here . Upon entering, the restaurant looked clean and had plenty of tables to chose from . The employee working was very welcoming and greeted us . He told us a bit about their offerings and how they are a "build-your-own" type of poke place ! I opted for a regular sized bowl-- and I was quite shocked when he pulled out an actual large to-go box lol ! (I was totally expecting a "bowl" like most poke places). Pros: *GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE *HUGE PORTIONS *LOTS OF TOPPINGS *BOBA Cons: *NOT FIRST-CATCH-OF-THE-DAY FRESH Overall, I was hoping for a more refreshing experience from a poke place by the beach. I do appreciate the generous portions and variety of toppings, but like my mom taught me ... quality over quantity . I always give benefit of the doubt here, so maybe it was just an "off" day where I got the tail end of the fish, or whatever it may be . I did finish my entire box of food because I was starving and I would totally come back if this was the only option for poke in the area ! read more

Poki Poki Boba & Brewski - Tuna, salmon, and scallop regular size - Poke Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We narrowed down on having poki and ended up here. It's next to Board & Brew which had a very long line. Foot traffic was steady and lines comes in waves as groups of people come in. There isn't much seating so I consider us lucky that we found a table. My husband ordered a regular poki bowl (3 proteins) and I got the veggie bowl (tofu as the protein). I didn't want multiple proteins in my bowl so it was just the right amount. I had half salad and half chips as my base and my husband had brown rice for his. We both enjoyed the flavor and size of our order. When we were done, I decided to have some boba. I ordered the strawberry matcha with almond milk & peach popping boba. I should have asked for the receipt since I did t realize there was also regular boba added to it too when I got my order. I had the sweetness reduced to 1/2 and it was still a bit sweet for me so I think I would ask for less if I get it next time. Overall, great poki place to stop by when you're in Carlsbad. We didn't park in this parking lot but it looks like it may be a bit of a challenge if you do with the limited amount of space. read more

The service was great, the two workers were very helpful and cheery. The portion was pretty big and the Ahi that I had got tasted really good. I've never reviewed a place on yelp before, and thats how much I enjoyed my Poke here. Girlfriend and I give it a 10/10. Didn't even take a photo before it was all gone! read more

I love this place. They give a very large portion for a regular poke bowl. I like to get it to go and walk across the street to eat at the beach. Service is always great and they don't skimp on the toppings. read more

New neighborhood poke spot which will always have a special place in my heart because it's the first dinner I got in my new neighborhood on the day of the move. I came in right before closing and they were so sweet! I got the salmon bowls which I thought were delish and a decent value with a good amount of food for the $. It's the kind of value that keeps me coming back. Glad to be next to this poke spot and can't wait to try more of their offerings! read more

Best poke place I've ever been. Huge portions, fresh fish, nice people. The boba is great too!

What sets this place apart is the selection of sauces and toppings. WOW! So many to choose from but my favorite sauces are the regular poke sauce and as of today it's the spicy miso (not mayo). For toppings I go with onions, cucumber krab salad, seaweed salad, fresh jalapeño, masago, crunchy rice and seaweed flakes. It's a lot, the portions are big. Everyone working is friendly. I've only done takeout here and usually can't resist having a boba tea too. Grab a bowl and head to the beach to catch the sunset! read more

Poki Poki Boba & Brewski - Not so pretty anymore but this is what was leftover after I stuffed myself! - Poke Near Me - Carlsbad, California

SOFT OPENING! This Poki Poki just opened up in Carlsbad with soft opening hours 11a-8p! It's right next to Board and Brew and 7 Eleven. I've gone to other locations in Encinitas and coming to this location, it is so much bigger! I love that it's just a 5 min walk to the beach. There's way more tables to dine in, a lot of space, and they have new drink options, boba and alcohol! I came in with my girlfriend and we got a regular poke bowl. Prices are pretty average. We got pretty good portions too. Ethan is the employee that served us and very nice customer service, he helped us as soon as we got inside. The food is good, I wish we got more, can't wait to come back and try their new drink menu read more

The best Poki ever!! The biggest scoops ever! Great boba and the quality of all the foods here are so fresh!!

Great Service. Portions could be a little bigger.....just a bit bigger/fuller scoops of the stuff we ask for on our bowl. I'm just comparing to another poki place I go to who does Super Full "scoops" of everything you ask for.... I'd recommend trying this place for sure! read more

the store is very clean and the staff are very polite and friendly. The food portions are HUGE where the large is more than enough for two people! Love having the new poke option here with beers and boba. read more

Poki Poki Boba & Brewski - Two large choose your own bowls and one premade spicy tuna bowl - Poke Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Came in and was assisted right away. I got a regular size with rice and 3 scoops of protein. Good options for toppings as well. They mixed the proteins with your choice of sauce, which I wish they would also drizzle it on top before putting the toppings. There was not enough sauce in my opinion. Overall good place to try, and also the location is great since its close to the beach and carlsbad village! read more

The service was amazing and my poke was delicious. I have been multiple times now and it's consistently amazing. The fish tastes like it's high quality read more

We need a quick light dinner after a long day of balancing a big move and life and my partner found this spot for Poke bowls around 8pm he was able to pop in and grab two. They were huge! for the price point and tasted fresh and delicious. We had enough left over for another meal the next day. Can't wait to come back and try it again myself. read more

Amazed at the portions they gave. Tastes great. Ordered the Sha-bang bowl and was pleasantly surprised and satisfied at the portions. Think Ono Hawaiian Barbecue sized poke-bowls. Will keep this in the staple for sure. read more

Awesome service. Never been here and everyone here was extremely helpful. Food is amazing! Quality fish and set up. They had the game playing on the TV so the vibe was great. Will be back! read more

Went by around 5 pm on a Saturday and wanted salad as my base. They said they were completely out of salad, so I was forced to get rice. Walked by around 7 pm on my way to 711 and saw that they had salad magically. Why lie about that? How do you run out of salad? read more

Great service on a Wednesday night, not very busy so we could order right away. I eat gluten free, so they told me to avoid the following: seaweed salad, eel sauce, miso sauce, imitation crab, tempura flakes, and the house/Hawaiian (?) sauce. All their proteins are GF (I got seared ahi tuna, regular ahi, and salmon), they have a GF ponzu sauce (you have to ask for it) and a lot of their toppings were GF. They also have spicy sauces that are GF: sriracha and wasabi mayo. The regular bowls are massive, so much protein! And pretty tasty. We sat in the store for a few minutes while they made our fruit tea with boba (also delicious) and the place was very clean. This place is fantastic, great find, we'll be back! (Reason I gave 4-stars: I couldn't figure out what was GF from their website, so I only felt comfortable ordering in person. I'd call over the phone next time, yet still not sure about ordering GF online.) read more

We stopped by on our way to the beach so that we can have lunch by the water! This place is amazing! Their portions are generous and the fish tastes very fresh. We got the large and were able to share between 2 people. The large consists of 4 proteins and their scoops are not stingy at all! We got tuna & seared tuna & salmon with only non spicy poke sauce. Next time we will probably ask for more sauce or a differently type of sauce to enhance the flavors. So far, great impression on me & i hope they do well. customer service was great, the two guys were very friendly and helpful. The shop also was clean & was not crowded when I went for a late lunch. I recommend you to try and support this new local business! read more

Poki Poki Boba & Brewski - large 4 protein with a bunch of toppings! (i wish i took a better photo but we were hungry haha) - Poke Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This place is not what I would consider authentic or healthy. We got the Salmon lovers and the sauces are super heavy cream based. their ginger is really really loaded with sugar and too sweet. Some salmon pieces were hard to chew. Got a lychee tea with lychee jelly and the lychee jelly is again -pure sugar bomb. Way too sweet. This is the opposite of the authentic healthy Asian experience. This is catering to the upper middle class white burger eating soda drinking crowd. If that's you -you'll love it. If you have more discerning taste you won't be crazy about it. Big ''Merican portions and the people were nice. Would I go back? Notta read more

I've been ordering from this place for a while and it's usually been great, but today my salmon was full of bones. I couldn't even finish my bowl. I won't be going back and I wouldn't recommend the salmon. read more
