    Poke Bowl
    Ryan S.

    This is a great place for poke! I have been here many times, and finally took a picture of my food before just devouring it. The fish quality here is really fresh, and they have so many options. My typical order is yellowtail, albacore, and salmon and they all taste great. I also really love their variety of sauces and toppings. They give a generous about of food and the pricing is fair! The restaurant is small but there are a few tables inside. They also have a cooler that is always stocked with drinks. This is one of my favorite poke places in Orange County!

    Very generous with their portions which is AWESOME! Quick and friendly service. High quality fish and variety of toppings!

    Small hole in the wall place located in a semi-busy plaza. This place is more of a to-go since seating is limited. Their prices are great! I ended up getting a large but the large bowl looked more of a medium to me - fish scoops were small (even though it's 5 scoops of fish). Fish was fresh and cold. Brown rice was good. I like supporting small businesses! Come here if you can for poke!

    Decided to come here for a poke bowl after seeing such great reviews. The pricing here is amazing. 5 proteins for $15 is a steal! the portions were good as well. I am only bummed that there is not a lot of sauce and topping options. I would have loved ponzu sauce and some edamame. The food itself was great. Rice and fish were obviously fresh. Service was fast. The place is a little small which is okay, but gives an awkward space between another customer and I. Would def come back!

What truly made the experience stand out was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the owner/manager took the time to check on guests and make everyone feel welcome. You can tell they genuinely care about the customer experience.

The food looks great in pics, few folks in the group said they would maybe try the restaurant again if they were around. We all left hungry after ordering multiple apps with entrees and 3 rounds of drinks. We expected better service overall

However, my friend thought his chicken was dry but finished his plate. I told him you should have gotten the mahi mahi.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

The sauce had a nice kick to it and was loaded not exaggerating loaded with garlic flavor, which was insanely good and I loved it. Every shrimp was coated in the sauce, and the combination of spices made it hard to stop eating. To drink, I had the house lemonade, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say it was a 10/10. It was refreshing and paired perfectly with the spicy seafood. I also ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Basket, which came with seasoned fries. The shrimp were crispy and nicely coated, and the fries were a great side. The garlic bread was another standout because it soaked up all that extra shrimp sauce. Honestly, dipping the bread into the sauce might've been one of the best parts of the meal. To finish it off, I had the garlic noodles, and they were phenomenal. If you come here, here's the trick,mix everything really well and make sure to get the garlic seasoning from the bottom. Once all those flavors come together, the noodles go to another level. Overall, the food was packed with flavor, the garlic seasoning was incredible, and the portions were generous. If you're craving Cajun seafood with a good amount of spice and garlic, this place delivers. I will like to mention that the customer service was excellent our server was very helpful when explaining the menu made sure that everything was OK checked up on us and really took care of us and gave us a excellent experience
