    This place has never been the best but it's gotten worse. The staff has horrible attitudes and couldn't tell me what their sauces were. Toppings were very limited. The salad is a weird mixture now. They're using the wrong type of onion. I'm half way through my bowl and can't even finish it. I await the day HH gets a good poke place.

    Design your own Poki. Many selection for you to pick. Add only few dollar and get 5 protein scoops instead of 3 protein scoops. Great for quick healthy meals.

    My husband just turned me on to the "half white rice/half salad" base thing. Wow, its so great that way! I always had so much rice left over at the end and this makes the meal so much lighter. We usually order the large ($15.99), half rice/half salad base, 3 scoops of tuna, 2 scoops of salmon, seaweed salad (+$1.50), crab meat, edamame, avocado (+$1.50), masago, ginger, sesame seeds. I think I'm going to stop getting the seaweed salad since they charge the extra $1.50 and no way is that an equal value to avocado! House sauce (ponzu) with a drizzle of eel sauce at the end. Everything is very fresh. We live super close to this location so it will be added to our To Go rotation.

    I had to order the large which gives you five scoops of protein and the selections are really nice but I prefer spicy tuna. I love the interior of the place. It's really cool when you come in they'll start you off by asking how big your order whether it needs to be small or large I took the basic toppings of cucumber and fish eggs and then I had spicy mayo added my first layer with salad, but your choice is salad, or white or brown rice And I ordered Pasco guava nectar for me, it was the perfect meal !! The flavor was perfect to customize I think you'll love the options!!

    Let's try this place out.

    This place had fresh fish and lots of toppings my children enjoyed their food. Service was great! Restrooms were nice and clean. We just came from the beach and the kids love poke so we stopped and glad we did. I'd come here again if I'm in the area.

    I came here with a friend to grab a quick lunch and it was perfect. We wanted something light and settled on poki. I'm not a huge poki fan but I really liked my bowl! I got a really simple bowl with salmon and some vegetables and sauce and it was great. The man at the counter was very patient with me. Definitely will come here again

    Regular bowl with black rice

    Friendly staff with generous portions and great options. Their are some other places near by but Poke Star is a clear winner. This is my new poke place.

    Poke bowl regular!

    Love love this place! Best poke in Orange County. Great service and nice decor inside. Shout out to Kim for always writing me nice notes

    Regular bowl  - fresh, healthy and awesomely delicious
    Monica H.

    We - one of my gfs and I finally tried this poki establishment for dinner to go. We have always gone to Starbucks and Bubba Sweets. This place is between the two. Stopped by after shopping at Trader Joe's Pretty self explanatory menu. Pick a bowl size, base rice/salad, half & half,, etc, I choose salad - cucumbers, seaweed salad, 3 proteins - tuna, salmon, peppered tuna ,and well sauce/sesame oil and wasabi. All was fresh. Clean, fresh food and friendly customer service. Awesome light dinner. Will definitely be back.

    Large poke
    Eric M.

    Hands down our favorite poke place anywhere. Big portions reasonable prices and quality fish. The workers are always nice and don't make you feel like you're bothering them like some of the places around here are. Overall best little spot to grab some food and hang out.

Looking forward to our next visit. It's worth the drive from Long Beach. My family and friends are lucky because they live just down the street from the restaurant.

The Waitress/Waiters are extremely nice and friendly. Excellent service!!!

    I'm sorry, I hate to give a review like this!!…read more So we made a raise reservation to this place and really did have high hopes, it's an OK looking spot inside nothing really special so the ambience is OK. Not to be a hater. It's just nothing special. The service: the service was a bit of a mix, a girl came up to us. She was kind and the moment that she was at our table. It was nice, the part where it got difficult for me was, Juan it's a bit disorganized, most sushi spots are gonna have maybe a QR code that'll just go to their webpage and you can order from there or they will have one paper that has everything on it so that it makes everything easier for the customer. This place had three pages, with only writing on the front and it was extremely confusing plus if you finished and wanted to order again, but the other one hasn't come out then you have to wait for that one to come out. What really bothered me was we didn't necessarily order a lot but it was still taking 1520 minutes for one order of sushi to come out and we had no heads up on what was going on and it was taking a while for someone to even come and tell us what was going on. There wasn't very many people there when we first got there and yet it was still taking a long time for us to get our food. The food: the sushi was OK, I have to be very fair because I've been to plenty of sushi spots. I've been to some that are good and some that are bad and so unfortunately, yes, you can tell the difference. I'm not saying this place is bad, I'm saying it's OK. What really got me was more the service and the wait time and unfortunately, the sushi. I really hope this place stepped it up because I can see the potential and I know a lot of people will just go to any all. You can eat sushi spot, but I have to be fair to every other sushi spot as well. I feel like

They do this near the end of the month on Mondays. Unfortunately, this is their 3rd to last event as they're going to be doing some restructuring. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Drinks were flowing and the sashimi was non-stop. Nigiri and handrolls were also delicious and I ate until I was close to puking. It was super cool to be able to cut into the fresh fish from Mexico. It's definitely tougher than it looks. I always thought it would be easy to cut like butter, but definitely takes a lot of strength and skill. There were other tasty tuna dishes like the miso soup, salad and crispy tuna steak. I recommend sitting at the bar so you can see Chef Yamasaki cut the fish in the front row seats. It was cool to taste the varying levels of fatness of the fish. The super chutoro was practically butter. They also offered tuna to go at $50/lb. Definitely worth it. The venue is their regular restaurant but with more tables in the middle. A little loud but definitely a fun time. There were 3 birthdays too!

The set is a lot of food though; both my husband and I were stuffed by the end of it. A must if you're looking for high quality sushi in HB.

From the spicy miso carbonara to the squid ink pasta and the braised short rib gnocchi, I've never had a dish here that I didn't enjoy.

It has so much flavor and is easily one of my favorites. Even the Caesar salad is delicious, which says a lot because sometimes salads can be an afterthought at restaurants like this. The appetizers are just as good too, the truffle cheese bread and puff bread are both absolutely worth trying. I also really like the overall ambiance. It has that nice fine-casual dining feel where you can dress up a little and have a nice dinner, but it still feels comfortable and welcoming. It can get a little loud at times when it's busy, but honestly, that's really my only minor complaint. Overall, Ini Ristorante is one of those places where I feel confident ordering pretty much anything on the menu because everything I've tried so far has been amazing. I'll definitely keep coming back to try more of their dishes.

I want to be clear that we've always enjoyed the food here, although even our most recent meal fell short. The real issue, however, has been the wait times, which have become unreasonable. Today my order was estimated to be ready at 7:15 PM. It is now 8PM and I am still waiting. For context, I placed the order at 6:00 PM. Meanwhile, guests continue to arrive and are being seated. Spending nearly two hours waiting in the lobby for a to-go order--both today and on our last visit--is simply unacceptable. The waitress did offer a free dessert and a gift card, which I declined because, unfortunately, we do not plan on returning. She then offered $20 off the bill. While the gesture was noted, it does little to address the broader issue when the bill is $130 and the wait has been this excessive. If the owners are reading this, please take a serious look at how orders are being managed. If the kitchen cannot handle the volume, online orders should be paused until the system is fixed. This used to be a place we genuinely loved, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. At this point, however, the wait and frustration simply aren't worth it anymore.
