    Four scoop sushi bowl
    Shawn R.

    What can I say? No better way to end the workday then with a refreshing special drink from this incredible poki spot. The individual behind the counter was extremely friendly gave me very good recommendations, and I love the ambience of the restaurant. Of course, my favorite part was the Little Jesus on top of the water.

    Spam and Egg Musubi

    Pretty solid spot for a quick and easy build-your-own poke bowl! Came in on a weekend for an early dinner, and there was no one in line. Choose from a small (2 scoops of fish), medium (3 scoops of fish), or large (4 scoops of fish) bowl. Their bases include white rice, brown rice, salad, or chips. You can do half and half as well. I usually go for salmon and tuna, and I thought the fish quality was decent! You can choose from a variety of toppings, and they'll mix if all together in a sauce of your choice. Their "original" is mild, and though they don't list exactly what's in it, it was pretty good! They also have a variety of musubis, including spam, spam and egg, spicy tuna, crab, and mayo tuna. I tried the spam and egg musubi, and it's served with a side of sauce, seemed like a spicy mayo. They also have some kind of special offer every weekday (like a free drink or scoop of edamame), so make sure to check the chalkboard when you go in!

    I really don't know why this spot isn't rated higher, 4.4 doesn't do it justice, the service is awesome, the food is fantastic, everything is fresh and the store is very clean. 10/10

    I want to point out that the gentleman who served me was so kind and patient with me. It was mt first time there and he explained the menu and process to me. When I asked for a little bit of extra sauce or anything he made sure ask if it was enough or if I wanted more. Most Poki places make me feel rushed but the customer service was great! He even made small talk and hoped I liked the food so I can come back. Now the food! It was good! The spicy tuna had a nice flavor and the spicy mayo wasn't overwhelming. Everything was fresh and the bowl was packed which I appreciate. I will be back for the good customer service and good Poki bowls. I didnt get to try anything else but I will next visit.

    go for the name, stay for the food this is my favorite poke spot near me! everything is just so fresh and delicious. the place is pristine and the service is excellent. the staff is very kind and patient when i can never figure out what sauce i want I love how you can easily customize your bowl to include everything you want! can't recommend this spot enough

    Medium Poke Bowl
    Eunhye J.

    Felt like poke or Popeyes, decided on the more "healthy" option Went with half and half salad and brown rice, with two scoops of salmon and one of tuna. I chose ponzu with spicy mayo and a bit of spicy cilantro sauce. Super friendly service, he kindly explained which sauces were most popular. Inside was a little warm, but to be fair it was a hot day out. Got it to-go with a carbonated ramune grape drink. Went for a drive down to Laguna beach. Both poke and drink recommendations were great - I'd definitely choose to come back for takeout!

    Rice, 2 scoops spicy tuna & 1 scoop salmon, all veggies & extra onion, spicy cilantro, onion garlic, sesame oil, spicy mayo & all toppings.

    Found this spot like a year ago & I am just getting around to giving them a review. I LOVE THIS PLACE! They have decent prices and their fish always taste fresh!! They are not skimpy with their portions either! I'm surprised they aren't packed with customers every day!

    This was my first time at a PokiDoki, and my kids first time ever trying Poke. The quality of the food is perfect. There are places that serve larger portions, but I could see that everything was fresh and proper. Service was good, he helped the kids along the way and everyone was pleased. There's a decent amount of seating, and the place is very clean and nice. :)

    Spam Musubi Pokinade
    Sam I.

    spam musubi and pokinade. wasn't super hungry but wanted a snack so I stopped by heehee. Pokinade was interesting. It says it has strawberry, pineapple and basil but why'd it lowk taste like alcohol? It wasn't good but it wasn't bad?? Then I realized the fruit was probably old. Spam musubi was good! Hard to mess up. Also the staff there were rlly nice and friendly :) Clean place, quiet and nice :) Tbh I'm pretty sure they used old fruit. It tasted rotten. Hopefully I don't die.

    Cute location and has all the right poki ingredients to make a good bowl. I thought the tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon was fresh. Bowl was full and filling. I would avoid the spam musubi as it was not prepared well and mainly full of rice.

At the very least, it has been my favorite chain of Japanese markets, but it stinks how they have just one location in the Bay Area! In fact, across my limited number of trips to SoCal, I've already visited more locations down here than back at home and I have to say - this location may be the newest, but it's also my least favorite one I've been to. Like pretty much every other Mitsuwa I've been to, this location has a cute little food court with a half dozen or so eateries offering a variety of food options - from ramen, udon, and curry rice plates to onigiri, matcha, and Japanese sweets. As for the market, it has all of the usual offerings you would expect - a solid selection of fresh produce, meats, seafood, frozen foods, pantry staples, alcohol, snacks, and sections of prepared foods and sushi to choose from. What's more, as a whole, everything here felt so new and clean (which makes sense in hindsight, as it apparently opened only back in November). With all of that having been said, though, it's weird to me how this place still felt a bit...lacking. While you can find a decent mix of things to eat at their food court, it's pretty much limited to three eateries, so don't be surprised to see lines when it's busy. Also, despite how new it is, the market feels smaller than other Mitsuwas I've been to. That's not inherently bad, but pickings felt relatively slim for certain meats and produce we were looking for, as well as their bento boxes and sushi. Granted, it probably didn't help that we were here on a Sunday and the place was packed with customers, but it's not like we stopped in towards the end of the day either. All in all, while I definitely think there are plenty of positives about this location, I'd be lying if I said I was as impressed with this one as I was by their location in Costa Mesa. It's definitely nice how new it is and I would never be opposed to going to any Mitsuwa, but if I lived out this way, it'd be tough not to know whether I'll be able to get everything I need here or if I'll also need to stop off somewhere else. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Under their Light Dinner section, they offer a Zarusoba for $12.00 and a Tempura Udon/Soba with Shrimp Tempura for $13.00. However, if you want Zarusoba with Tempura, they charge an extra dollar. The Zarusoba was good, but it would be nice if they gave a bit more sauce for dipping. I also got a Sashimi Salad, which had a lot of sashimi! It had salmon, tuna, and a white fish. Pretty good, but it could have used a little more dressing as well. The Combination Plate with Salmon and Tempura was enjoyable. It comes with a piece of salmon, a variety of tempura (shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato, onion), side salad, miso soup, rice, tempura sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Salmon was cooked well, and I liked all of the tempura! Their Lunch Specials are originally what caught my eye, but it seems like they don't have anything similar for dinner. Instead, everything is a la carte with the exception of a few combination plates. I wish they would do dinner specials similar to their lunch specials! Parking here is pretty difficult. The lot gets packed with several cars circling around hunting for a spot. They're also going some construction right now which doesn't help. There is a large parking lot where the Home Depot is next door, but they specifically have signs posted to say you can't park there.

I was given a pager by the friendly fellow at the counter and my meal was made in less than ten minutes. I sat and ate in the clean, comfortable food court. The pork was good quality, very tender, with a crunchy panko coating. The rice was done perfectly and the omelette on top was delicious with a buttery taste and soft texture. I loved the curry; it had excellent flavor and complemented the pork well. There were also some slices of hard-boiled egg and some bits of radish on the plate as well as a cabbage salad. My single complaint is that the salad had no dressing so was rather "blah" compared to everything else. I call these places fast-food katsu. They are all over Japan.

It didn't particularly wow me as I've had better elsewhere, but it was perfectly fine. A small note is that I think the bowl was a bit too small for what it was. I found myself really trying to dig deep to reach the noodles. By the time I got to them, it felt like a lot of the curry had already got soaken up. I think as an udon dish, its components could've been more well rounded.
