    Salmon poke Regular Bowl
    Ella B.

    New go-to poke spot unlocked I just stared living part time in Oceanside, and my first (very reasonable) worry was : where will I get sushi and poke now?! I had my go-to locations in LA, but alas, I knew I would have to be courageous and explore the unknown territory of raw fish once again. In a delirium of low blood sugar, I found Poki poki on the way back from the gym. Things to note which secured poki poki be a staple in my foreseeable future: -the portions are huge! They actually gave me a ton of protein for their small/normal size, which is amazing because that's what pokes all about ya know? The raw fish -the sever was SO nice. I am gluten free, and live in fear when it comes to restaurants not knowing what items they have are safe. She took my order, happily double checked everything was gluten free, and was super friendly -the speed!! I ordered on the phone and 2 min later walked in and it was being bagged. This was a lifesaver given the fact I pushed dinner way too late and needed to eat asap Overall: a great solid poke staple

    Thank you Poki Poki for totally redeeming yourselves!! i've been here twice this past month :) i just had to give them another shot frm having a not so great experience a few years back. i didn't leave a negative review because in my heart it wasn't the food it was the Wrong Crew *at that time. well anyways i wanna say they have up'ed their game and their customer service is WAY WAY better than before. The poke bowl became a whole to-go Box for the large and not sure if the server just liked me but also super generous the last 2times i ordered. Everyone deserves a second chance. i'm glad i did. i'll be seeing you again soon!- lots of parking but kinda tricky entrances to this location -the Home Goods/Aldi/BevMo / Fed Ex /El Pollo Loco Plaza. ******oops- this review is for the one in Escondido!! lol my bad! :D

    Amazing Food! Super good but pricy since it is poki. Workers are nice but don't work the quickest. The place is nice and clean and they also have amazing boba!

    The restaurant

    I love this location! The staff are always friendly and efficient when we visit. There was a long line on this particular occasion. The restaurant was clean despite heavy foot traffic. As always, my poke bowl was super tasty. The ingredients always seem to be fresh. By the time I add all of my toppings to my fish choices, I am left with a very hefty bowl of food. it's extremely filling and I often have leftovers. That way I get to enjoy two times. I love all the options to customize your bowl to include exactly what you want. This is better than when you go to a restaurant and order poke there. They don't necessarily have options for customization at other restaurants . So this is my definite go- to poke choice! They could add a few more tables to make the restaurant seem a bit more inviting. They have lots of empty floor space.

    We went for lunch and we were able to walk right up and order. They had more choices of fish than I thought they would. The serving size was pretty big. I was able to save half for dinner. It was clean and very open.

    Brown sugar milk tea boba
    Vera K.

    I had an amazing experience here this afternoon. My boyfriend and I stopped by so I could get some boba today. I got the Brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba and it was 10/10 exactly what I was craving!!! They had so many options for milk tea including a variety of boba and adds on. I also love poke but didn't try any today...I will be back though!! Definitely check this place out for boba.

    Disgusting table
    W. Curtis P.

    The health department should pay them a visit. Their tables are covered with sticky black goo. They know it and the owner doesn't care. See the pictures. The tables are not properly finished. There was a thin layer of urethane that has worn off in many places and now food is sticking to the tables and I can't get it off. The tables need to be stripped in a proper layer of urethane applied.

    Regular Bowl
    Sheila V.

    Ordered 2 regular bowls for about $35 including tip. The plates were absolutely stacked and pretty affordable considering its poke. I liked how they had seared ahi tuna as a protein option, never really seen that at other poke shops. They had limited sauce and topping options in comparison to other spots, but they had all the essential ones you'd expect. Process was simple and quick. The flavors and quality of fish was okay; I've had better, but it's still really good for the price. I was able to split my bowl into 2 separate meals. The interior of the shop is pretty clean as well. Overall, would come again if I'm looking for a cheap poke spot.

    Food (4/5 stars): Pretty solid poké place in Vista! I appreciated the generous portions and all the toppings. The fish wasn't the freshest, but the eel sauce and spicy mayo made up for it Experience (3/5 stars): * Price: quite pricey * Wait Time: egregiously long on a Tuesday night. They were severely understaffed * Service: good and friendly * Parking: there's ample parking in the Vista Village * Ambiance: it's a simple and casual poké spot

    Super stingy with their food. Other Poki places add more food and here they don't even go over the bowl.

So I keep trying new spots hoping one finally hits. I'd driven past Urban Teri Kitchen a bunch of times taking my kids to practices and games and finally decided to stop in. Didn't even check Yelp first. Just went in blind based on a good feeling about the place. Glad I did. I ordered the half-and-half with chicken teriyaki and katsu, and honestly it was one of the better teriyaki plates I've had anywhere around here. The chicken was flavorful, the katsu was crispy without being greasy, and everything tasted fresh. It's a little pricier than some teriyaki spots, but the quality backs it up. My wife and I could easily split one order next time. I came in around 4 PM, so it wasn't packed, but the people inside looked happy, the restaurant was clean, and the whole place just had a really good vibe. Sometimes you can tell within a minute whether a place cares about what they're doing, and this felt like one of those spots. There's a reason they've got 4.7 stars. If anything, I'd say that rating is deserved.

    Cute little place in Oceanside, right past CVS, by Flying Pig. We never really walk out that far…read morefrom the pier area (and it's not really THAT far), but decided to go out a bit just to check it out. Scanned the QR code on the big banner from the outside and checked out their menu. Saw lumpia and thought it was a Filipino spot). Saw they had a happy hour menu and decided to check it out before our movie. The vibe we really cute and played reggae music. It was a relaxing, chill atmosphere with lots of tvs. The server, Jaz was really nice, friendly and very hospitable. She spoke of their Guamanian food, heritage and community. They've been in the current spot for the last 7 or 8 months, so fairly new, but were down the street for many years before that. We ordered 2 different kinds of BBQ chicken wings. Two orders of the sweet chili glazed (Pine Doni) and one of the other which was like a honey bbq glazed style. All were supposed to have 6 wings, but the honey BBQ one had 5 (?). The sweet chili was our fave of the two. Their chicken empanadas were huge, and served 3 per dish, were delicious and crispy, with an aioli like sauce with a wonderful kick. The spam roll was a masubi-like and was good (husband said it was the best he's ever had). The side of mac salad had great flavor! Jaz brought us some red rice to try on the house and it was really good! It reminded me of Vietnamese chicken rice, with chicken broth infused into the rice, making it really tasty and savory. First time having Guamanian food and we're stoked we tried it! All in all, great food and awesome service! If you've never tried it before...put it on your list! You won't regret it!

We started off with the chicken kelaguen which had the perfect amount of flavor and tanginess with the red rice staple. I do wish I got more rice in the chicken to rice ratio, but it was good regardless. Shortly after we got our empanadas (the whole reason I wanted to go here). I had been craving them for weeks and it didn't disappoint. The filling was the delicious and the crust was perfectly crunchy. We then shared the Guam bomb which was a pretty decently sized plate. I appreciated how crunchy the fries were, especially since the amount of sauce on top could have easily made them soggy very quickly. I do wish there was a little more meat but it tasted yummy nonetheless. Our absolute favorite part of the meal was desert. The banana donuts! It came with 4 which was perfectly paired with strawberry ice cream. Overall, super duper happy with another visit to this amazing spot! Hopefully we'll catch them at PIFA San Diego this year
