Great service and they were very quick in bringing out the items. The food was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The staff was friendly and the place had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you're craving something tasty and fast! read more

First time here poke was good the flavor was on point sauces were great. Fish tasted fresh portion was good size I came here because my original spot started giving very small portions and I was satisfied with this place. I was disappointed they don't server teriyaki which was the original reason I was there but poke is good. read more

Ok poke. First off, it's a little pricey. When you buy food in Buena Park, you should be paying Buena Park prices. Now, if this was Buena Park Beach or Corona Del Buena Park, then the cost would be justified. Overall, decent Poke. Was a little disappointed in their white rice. A bit dry. The fish was decent (spicy tuna, salmon) and they have nice add-ons and toppings. They have "Teriyaki" written on their front window, which was what I was gonna get. However, according to the employee, teriyaki is a thing of the past. Maybe take the sign down? Draw a line through it? Bummer. Cans of soda and other similarly canned beverages available. If you're near Knott's and have a hankering for poke, not a bad joint. read more

This review is long overdue! This has been my go-to poke for hmnn maybe the past 5 years or so! Their food has been consistently good, portioning is good, and they have many toppings to offer including scoop of avocado! The prices have gone up though overtime (as everything else with the inflation), but I'm going to continue to support their business because the quality and service is worth it imo! read more

Poki Yaki - My favorite poki spot! Always fresh, large portions, great price and avocado option is free! - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

The food here is always amazing! But I was a little disappointed with the service I received on my most recent visit. The staff member working the register seemed to be hanging out with friends at the front counter and seemed bothered by someone walking in. She yelled to the person in the back to come and help me, even though she was actually busy prepping food. I know this is probably a part time job for a high school kid, but at least show some sort of customer service to people who are actually paying customers. read more

Pretty decent poke bowl place near burns park mall. It had the typical sides and sauces you would want except crab meat is extra charge! Bummer:( but they give a small scoop of avocado for free which is usually an extra $ so I guess it washes out. Will be back next time we're in the area read more

Ordered delivery from here today. Packaged well and delivered on time via Uber Eats. Bowl was pretty decent size when compared to other poke places I have tried and packed full. Oma sauce was really good and had a nice spice to it. Only wish the fish pieces were cut in bigger chunks. Not my top spot but would definitely order again if I'm in the area. read more

Poki Yaki - Poke Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

Very fast service, but don't be fooled by the 3 protein scoops. Each scoop is around a tablespoons-worth, mega disappointed.

It's across the street from Knott's Berry Farm. The convenience factor plays into my 3 star review. It's right next door to a great sushi spot which I will Also review. Now, I don't mind a small mom and pop restaurant, in fact I rather prefer them especially in a big metropolis like Los Angeles and Orange County. That being said, I like that they prepared my bowl in front of me. The Ingredients were fresh but very limited compared to other poke restaurants ie Poke Bomb in Cypress CA. There was very little wait time as there was only one person ahead of me. Great so far. The downfall are 2 key points. 1. The Flavor. My poke was bland, even after they added sesame oil and house sauce. Not thing jumped out at me except the bland tuna and salmon. 2. The portion was small for the price. I really did expect more from both points. It is my hope the owners will see this and take note. This small restaurant is missing the flavor. read more

Poki Yaki - Bowl prepared to order - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

Decent poke spot in the area; they have decent sauces and ingredients. Some of the fish have a fishy taste, but not horrible. Crab is a bit loaded with mayo but still good. Serving sizes are decent as well. I like that they have purple rice and a bunch of toppings and sauce options. I'll probably be back! read more

Poki Yaki - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

This is my go-to place whenever I'm craving poke. I've ordered from here numerous times ever since they first opened and it's always delicious. I love that they have a variety of ingredients/toppings that you can add into your bowl. The price you pay for the portions they give isn't bad. For the base, you have a choice between white rice, brown rice, salad, and chips. You can even do half and half if you can't decide on only one. They have a lot of options for fish, including salmon, tuna, albacore, scallop, and more. I also like the different sauces you can choose to mix in with your fish. I usually get a large poke bowl with salad/chips and salmon/scallops/albacore mixed in with the ula ula and creamy Hawaiian sauce.. SO GOOD. Overall, the options are abundant, the prices are reasonable, and the fish quality is great! read more

Meal of the day for a warm day Small Poki place but they also have other dishes available besides Poki. Plenty of parking available. Got a medium bowl with white rice and 4 scoops of fish and toppings. Their fish is dice vs. cube and they do not charge for avocado or seaweed salad unless you get a secondary scoops. Toppings include fries onions jalopenos edamame Masago cilantro green onions crab sesame topping cucumber onion. Various sauces available kept it simple with ponzu and sesame oil. $11.80 with everything. Bowl is full, can easily share, and taste fresh light simple and not over filling. read more

I always order here and this place has always been great. I ordered off uber eats today and my food was dripping with sauce. I cant even taste what I'm eating, it's like a bowl of sauce . Im super disappointed! Usually they do a good job, but whoever made my food today I hope they learn not to do this! Everything is dripping in sauce and they put way to much spicy mayo I cant even taste the other sauce that its mixed with. I get the same thing every time and this was the first time they gave it to me this way. I feel like I did not get what i ordered at all. I cant even tell whats in my bowl. read more

This place is okay, I had gotten the regular bowl with spicy tuna and got spicy Mayo and eel sauce mixed in. The sauces are okay, I've had better but the workers are very sweet and super friendly. The workers do not skip out on the portions which I loved. I had also gotten the spam musubi and my total came out to 19$ for 2 items which isn't so bad. The place was a bit empty when my friend and I had gone in but the moment we sat down, a lot more people came in. This place is definitely a go to place every now and then read more

I've been coming to Pokiyaki here and there for the past 4-5 years and it was a poki place that was consistent and reliable to order from. But today, my sister and I decided to get our typical orders and to our dismay only got HALF the amount we usually get. This is my bowl before eating. I moved the fish around to see how much I got and the pieces are so tiny. The spicy tuna was one of my proteins and I got one bite worth -- you can barely even see it next to the avocado. Severely disappointed by the quality of it today too. Their quality and quantity sure has changed. The girl serving the food was also very intentional with being frugal with how much she gave us. If the scoop seemed like too much, she would put some back into the tray. Not sure if I'll come back to this poki place seeing that they seem to be lowering their standards in both quality and quantity, while having this "regular" bowl be $11. Another place I go to prices their small bowl at the same price but offers much more in quality and quantity. Might think that this place is not worth it anymore. read more

Through postmates, a bowl with 3 scoops of protein is $12.95 while 4 scoops of protein is $14.95. Although I cannot compare Poki Yaki's quantity and quality to pre-COVID because it was my first time trying it, I'd have to say that I was very impressed with my food. We have to remember that the pandemic may have been hard on our small businesses and may cause some challenges and changes that require adaptation. The salmon was fresh and enjoyable. Because I was avoiding spicy food that day, I just got original ponzu as my sauce. It tasted good for the protein mix, but I added a little soy sauce which really helped with the flavor in the rest of the bowl. The price was acceptable. Avocado had no extra cost, so that's always a plus. Portions were fair as well. A regular is the perfect size for me. I'm really glad I found a good poke restaurant in the area that I can order from again! read more

Delicious and very quality fish! The sauces here are really good too. Came here for the first time today and will def be coming back!

Our favorite poke spot! We always make sure to stop here after my son gets a haircut next door or really any time we're in the area! Ha! Generous portions and all mix-ins are included in the base pay! I love that! I think it's silly that places charge extra for crab meat & avocado, but not Poki Yaki! read more

Hands down best poki in town. Free topping, no extra charge, reasonable price, everything taste good. No more words can describe this poke place. Get poki here or never get poki. read more

During the Covid-19 quarantine thank God Poki Yaki was opened! They were super friendly and kind with service and just having a positive mindset in such a difficult time. They begin with three protein bowls that go up to five. I had the spicy tuna, tuna and salmon and they have a lot of toppings that you can choose from. Very fresh and filling. read more

Poke was pretty delicious, I'd definitely come back. Prices are a little higher based on old reviews, makes sense due to inflation. Other than that the poke is great, better as a to go place than sit in. Location is kinda small but great quality poke! I'd get it again to go! read more

Awesome Poki place. Very fresh Poki at a great value. I recommend the 5 scoop with Hawaiian sauce. read more

I just want to thank the two employees who helped my mom and me order today on New Years Eve at around 3:30 pm. I think one of them was Luz and the other person's name started with an R. Luz was so patient with me and my mom and was very accommodating. I felt so grateful for her compassionate service and our family has a nice NYE dinner :) thank you Luz and R! You both have the best 2024 and thank you for greeting us with a smile and making our days with your service. read more

Do not recommend The place did not look clean, and the fish was not fresh. The crab has too much Mayo read more

Came here & got the medium bowl with all salmon. It was good, love their Hawaiian creamy sauce. Would definitely come back!

Medium (3 scoops) bowl is $15. First time having purple rice and it was delicious. I recommend everyone try it. The fish was fresh and I loved them dressing salads. There is ample parking right across from chase and knots berry farm. read more

Service was great, came in for lunch at 12 pm a Sunday and there were two girls helping us and they were really nice.

Excellent food options and the quality is very very good. I liked that there are several options for poke or hot foods as well. I enjoyed the salmon poke bowl and the imitation crab was so creamy and yummy! Will be back to try some other items. This will be my go to poke spot when we move to Anaheim next month! read more

I have to admit that I'm a poke amateur. I finally learned to eat all this raw fish stuff. This place is pretty darn good. So good that I went there for lunch and came back for the same bowl for dinner. No complaints here! read more

Poki Yaki - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

Gave them four stars for the service. The girls were super friendly and nice. Recently moved to the area so wanted to check out some new places to get food. The sizes were decent, however, it was pretty steep for poke. They charge $2.95 for a scoop of crab meat and usually... poke places charge for avocado not crab meat... The first scoop of avocado of course is free. Ingredients were fresh. There weren't very many topping options. I usually get a regular/small and would be full half way through eating but I wasn't quite full even completing the regular size. If you're willing to pay $11.95 for a regular (3 scoops of protein) + $2.95 for crab meat. This is the place for you. read more

It was 6:30 pm and they closed at 8 pm yet most things were already put away. The fish looked kind of old and I regret ordering I should have left. The rice was mushy and everything tasted old and lacked flavor. They kept having to go to the back to get things seeing as how everything was put away. They put the wrong g sauce on my bowl and definitely too saucy. read more

Best poke I've ever had! This place was my introduction to poke and every other place I've tried does not live up.

Best Poki. I travel for my Son to this place to eat, that's how good it is. When he visits, he ONLY wants his Poki from here. read more

Poki Yaki - Side menu Apr 2022 - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

I usually avoid getting poki, but OC poki spots always draw me in because of their fresh ingredients and yummy sauce combinations. I got the smallest bowl size, which came with three fish of my liking (I got two salmon and one spicy tuna), and it was still super filling. Poki yaki has a large assortment of toppings and sauces. Everything seemed fresh and clean. If you're looking for a quick bite, this is definitely worth a visit. read more

Poki Yaki - two regular sized poki bowls - Japanese Near Me - Buena Park, California

I was in the mood for Poki yesterday and I yelped some places near me. This place was one of the first ones that popped up. I decided to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. At first I thought the place was closed as the windows are completely blacked out and you can hardly see inside. I was wrong obviously. Anyway, you can get a Small for $9.75 w/ 3 protein choices. $10.75 for a Medium w/ 4 choices and large for $11.75 w/ 5 protein choices. Not bad on the prices at all. The best part is that they give you the first scoop of avocado free. Yes FREE! Most places charge anywhere from $1.25 to $2 for a scoop. I went back today and the fish didn't taste so fresh. I was a little disappointed the second time around. Maybe I just got a bad batch this time around. I'm giving this place 4 stars because of that and hope that next time I get some fresh tasting protein. Maybe I'll give it another try next time and update my review. read more
