    Large Bowl
    Samantha C.

    There were two guys working when we arrived and they were so friendly and efficient! We got our order in minutes (thankfully no line at 2pm on Saturday). We ordered a large bowl (4 scoops of protein) with almost all the toppings to share between the two of us since we were looking for a light snack. The portion was generous and seafood tasted fresh. I especially enjoyed the scallops and seared ahi tuna! Also appreciated him going light on the dressing to let the seafood shine. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a poke spot. Clean, ample seating, and a bathroom for customers. I would return!

    Regular bowl w/ ahi, salmon, and shrimp.   Medium level spice. Eel sauce  Edamame, green onion, tempura crisp

    Just updating this review to say they still got it. Dude with longer hair (blonde) has the food presentation down. Worth the price every time. Thanks y'all!

    Ordered via door dash and it did not disappoint! I got the 3 serving bowl with seared ahi tuna, ahi tuna and spicy tuna. Added imitation crab, corn, pineapple, edamame, mandarin oranges and all the sauces. It was so good! I'm always skeptical on poke places but it was delicious. Would definitely order from here again!

    Regular Poke Bowl

    Love the proximity of this location. Staff is always attentive and the bowls are HUGE!! Definitely shareable or enough to satisfy a very hungry person. The regular bowl comes with 3 fish options and the large with 4 fish options. All the toppings you'd like. Avocado and spicy crab are extra as well cucumber noodles. Inside is small with only a few tables to eat. There are a few tables outside as well and a water station. Overall, good amount of food for the price.

    okay i have to start off by saying the guy working on 8/30 was soooo sweet! it was my friend and i very first time trying this spot. we absolutely loved getting the bowl with spicy tuna and salmon. i love how you can choose your protein, spicy level, options for a bunch of sides and drizzle of sauce on top. i recommended getting unagi and spicy mayo sauce drizzled on top!! so yummy. def can share one regular bowl between two people

    Tuna is wal-mart quality. Pumped with CO2 and masking something really off. The texture is mushy and watery with the only tuna flavor being very off putting. Unfortunate.

    Took the day to go to moonlight beach with my mom, sister, and her kiddos. We stopped into Poki Poki and it was amazing! Service was great, but the food was AMAZING. So much food for the price. We will definitely be coming back!

    Great, fresh poki with lots of toppings to choose from! It is located in a strip mall near Ross in Encinitas. The co-habby and I had late lunch plans but were starved while running errands prior so we decided to split a poke bowl. We opted for a half rice/half salad option and chose all of our fixings. Prices were on par with other poke locations, perhaps just a tiny bit more but it was no big deal. Nice, clean space, service was quick and friendly and our bowl hit the spot.

    Food looks fresh, but options are limited. Can't spell Poke in your name so "Poki" is a Japanese cookie not a Hawaiian entree. No Hamachi or yellow tail. Ahi is not deep ruby red but pink and has tendon so not tender but chewy, no yellow tail quality of fish is not up to my standards, service is fine and $20 for a poke bowl is standard

    Regular Poke Bowl to go
    Carmen S.

    Delicious food. Good variety and good service. Like most poki place, you order at the counter and pick your protein with rice or spring salad or cucumber salad. You can have half of each too. You get a choice of white or brown rice. Then you pick your proteins. You can mix them up or get one, which I did. I like salmon so I did salmon for my protein choice. Then you can choose all the toppings that range from crabmeat to edamame to seaweed salad and wasabi. You can choose sauces and sesame seed and dried seaweed. By the time I was finished, I had a bowl that could feed 2 people. Generous portions and very tasty. You can CC sit indoors and outdoors. Staff was nice and had good suggestions. I'll be coming back

    so much

    The food is great, but they allowed a costumer to order without a mask. So, I would not recommend going at this time.

    Ask the Community - Poki Poki Encinitas

    Do you take Apple Pay?

    Yessir

    Do they have cucumber noodles as a base like Pokewan in Carlsbad?

    No, they don't have cucumber noodles for a base. However, they offer sliced cucumbers (as well as onions) to be added into the poke mix. It is possible to get cucumbers as a base if you ask, they're just not "noodles".

    Does anyone know if they offer a Gluten Free Soy Sauce Option (Tamari) or does all the Poki have regular soy sauce on it already?

    The fish is not pre-sauced, it's fresh, clean, unadulterated Fish. You choose your sauces and veggies and can avoid soy sauce completely if you wish!

    Super stoked to have found this little poke spot!…read more Had the sushi burrito with salmon, tuna, marinated tuna, spicy crab, seaweed salad and all the other fixings! Wrapped and ready to go! The burrito was huge and well worth the cost! The fish was fresh and seriously a delicious burrito! Sat outside and they have a nice little patio ( should have taken a picture) with cornhole and patio seating. Service was great! I will definitely be back to grub here again!

You can build your own bowl or burrito. You choose the base which is either sushi rice, brown rice, salad, or burrito. Next, you choose preferred sides, then yout choices of protein. Finally sauces and toppings. They also have chicken katsu, gyoza, fried Calamari, and their specialties. We got five scoops poke bowls, fried Calamari, and macaroni salad. The poke bowl was very fresh, savory, and really delicious. They added generous quantity of base, protein and toppings. Their macaroni salad was creamy, rich and flavorful. Fried Calamari was crispy and well seasoned.We had a great dinner. My review is mainly for the food. Everything was well packe. Next time, I will stop by Poké Chop to get the whole experience.

    My favorite stop on my recent trip to the San Diego area…read more Encinitas Fish Shop was recommended by one of my local SD work colleagues. I grabbed an Uber after work on a Thursday and headed north 11 miles. As I arrived at the Fish Shop, I could smell the goodness inside and saw the line waiting to order. The restaurant is on one side, with an open bar on the other. Ordering is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Pick your fish, pick how you want to consume it (plate, sandwich, salad), and pick your sides and drink. I went with my work colleagues recommendation of a blackened sea bass sandwich with onion rings and a Marg. That choice was FANTASTIC!!! You seat yourself once you order and place the buzzer given to you by the counter person on the unit on your table. Although busy, there were still tables available (bar and restaurant, plus out front). As the NBA playoffs were on, I sat inside. Everyone working here was friendly and as I already stated... my meal was the best I had on this San Diego visit. A bonus was a gorgeous sunset just 3 blocks down from the shop. I will be back to Encinitas Fish Shop when I next visit San Diego.

    After some shopping at the Leucadia Farmers Market, we were all pretty famished so we headed down…read morehere for a tasty late lunch. This location opened in 2010 and is the second location to the flagship store in Pacific Beach, California. Here you can create your own dish by selecting your fish, marinade, and style (taco, sandwich, salad, or plate). The fish options are Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Ahi, Albacore, Snapper, Yellowtail, and Diver Scallops. You order at the counter, grab your drink, and take a number. Finding a table is easy as they offer both indoor and outdoor dining. Once your food is ready, they will bring to your table. They are also pet friendly as my friend had her dog with us and Roxee was welcome. I went with the swordfish, garlic butter and the house seasoning along with a green salad and rice. My sister went with the Yellowtail plate, and my friend also loved the swordfish plate. We all enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine as we sat outside on a gorgeous, coastal day. Fish was prepared well and very tasty. We were all very pleased with our experience dining here. I have ate here one other time and I tried their fish and chips. They were good, but this meal was even better. I know I will return in the future. Service is friendly and helpful and the vibe is laid back. Street parking only but easy to find. The restaurant is also easy to reach on foot, bike, scooter, e-bike etc.
