We were in the mood for something fresh and healthy, so Poke Bar is what we agreed on. The best part? Its only a hop and a skip away from me. Walked in at around 8pm on a Saturday night. I imagine this is a hopping lunch spot, but it was mega quiet when I got here in the evening. After perusing the menu, I decided on a yummy salmon and tuna concoction with rice, cucumber and as much crispy onion and garlic I could handle. Such a great quick dinner! I'm a huge lover of raw fish so, i know ill be back very soon. read more

This was a favorite of mine for years. Kind of burned myself out on poke, so after an extended break I ordered from here the other day. I ordered my usual base - half spring mix, half white rice. My bowl arrived with a mountain of rice on top - so much so, I couldn't see the actual fish I had ordered (tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, shrimp). After much digging, which included throwing out a good amount of rice, I finally arrived at my fish & (very little) spring mix sitting in a small pool of dressing. Would've been nice to have some rice at the bottom to catch those dressings. This was very annoying to eat, and not at all enjoyable. Pic attached - you see avocado, imitation crab, cucumber salad, and LOTS of rice. Can't even tell there's fish, edamame, onions, and spring mix in there. One-time mess up, but significant enough that I have no desire to go back. read more

Poké Bar - Where is the fish? The edamame? The onions & spring mix? Buried under a mountain of white rice. - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I worry for those of you who say the portions are small because I just received the largest poke bowl I've seen in my life. I only ordered the medium so I cannot imagine the large size. I will be eating this for the next 4 hours and be a very happy woman. There are so many add ons and customizations at this place which I love. You can just say "yes" to them and then your poke bowl will be larger :) I never liked the hot Cheeto nonsense but I do like their spicy tuna very much with white rice, some masago, seaweed salad, crispy garlic, edamame and avocado. And corn of course. read more

I had a large bowl ordered through DoorDash with all salmon. I have worked in a Poké restaurant for 5 years before and judging by the salmon, I could tell right away that the salmon was frozen and not fresh due to how pale pink it looked. It was most likely due to cut cost. Which is sad cause looking at past photos it looks like they used fresh salmon before. Oh well. Bowl was tasty enough but not a fan of using frozen salmon so gonna have to be a one and done for me. read more

Fish isn't fresh you can taste weird fishiness and the rice is hard do not recommend also I ordered delivery and it didn't come with any sauces that I asked for idk what the point of that was read more

I'm disappointed. A few years ago this was THE SPOT I loved to get Poke from. But sometime last year I got really bad food poisoning from here. It took a long time for me to want to try this particular location again. I went to many other Poke places over the year but avoided this locale because of my bad experience. Fast forward to today, I decided "it's time! I think it was a one off situation. I'll try again" whether or not I get food poisoning is still TBD however, this is the fishiest smelling Poke I have ever gotten and I honestly cannot even bring myself to finish it. Really disappointed in the quality, bad aftertaste, and fishy smell. Let's hope I don't get sick again. read more

Roman is the BEST Poke Bar Chef at this fantastic neighborhood gem. I have been a regular customer for years and so thrilled that this delicious Poke Bar is in my neighborhood. I am always so pleased when Roman is working because he is amazing and making my bowl. I usually order lots of veggies, Spicy tuna and salmon and have yet to be disappointed (thankfully!). In fact, quite the opposite. Every time it is delicious and satisfying. Very fresh and service is fantastic! Thank you, Roman! read more

Wow... I have had some bad poke in my life... but this? I can confidently say this is the worst poke I've ever had in my life. I have had better and fresher poke in Indiana for gods sake. I wish I had checked the reviews before walking in they make so much sense. To start... the bowl comes with the smallest scoop of rice I've ever seen in a poke bowl. The seaweed salad? That was slimier than young thug. The crab? It was faker than a sorority girls Instagram comments and drier than the Sahara desert (yes I know it's imitation crab but at least make it enjoyable or believable). They must have gotten the salmon during Black Friday that's how bad and old it tasted. I usually get tuna and salmon but the tuna was damn near brown, I'm glad I at least avoided that... Now as if this place couldn't have gotten any worse (this was my first sign to leave and not get anything which I should've listened to) it had a really weird odor.... an odor of like someone rotting away, who knows maybe it was the fish in the back. I'm never one to leave reviews but I like to see the best in everything so I will say the positives were that the server gave big scoops of fish. Oh wait... I wish he didn't because that fish was disgusting. Anyways, the server was nice and did wish me a happy new year. read more

Decent poke place, I recommend their salmon chowder! It was pretty good, first time having it. Most people just seem to do pickup or delivery, though there is indoor seating. There's a tiny parking lot and the 7/11 next to it is burned down and has graffiti on it. Employees were nice :) read more

I love Poke Bar, it's my go to poke spot. I normally go to a different location and have stopped by here several times to get my poke fix. It's always been fine. The workers are always very kind and helpful. My review is only for the food quality. Today, I walk in and the restaurant smells fishy. I should've walked right out. The fish looks slimey, especially the salmon. I get home to eat it and the salmon is inedible. The slimey-ness and fishy smell is nauseating. I tried to eat some of the veggies and white rice but they also tasted off too? Really weird and disappointing experience because I love poke and crave it very often. I barely took 3 bites and I'm throwing it all away. I hope I don't get sick. My rule with sushi or poke is always to avoid places that smell fishy! read more

Food poising on Sunday, June 23. I've been to this location many times in the last year. Service has always been "okay." This has been my favorite poke place because of the portions and quality. Today my experience was unpleasant. The lady with two lip piercing needs some training in costumer service. She cut me and my boyfriend off multiple times while ordering. "What else? What else? That's it ? " Like, lady please let me finish my sentence. There's multiple notes placed throughout the counter written " I have ADHD please be patient." I've been patient on multiple occasions with this lady. She always has a bad attitude. Reading through the comments, I know I'm not the first to complain about her. We got our food to-go, and both me and my boyfriend got food poisoning. The only common food we ate was poke. We won't be back for a while after today. read more

Food is decent. The staff that helped me Jose and Romeo were super nice. It was my first time at this place and I will be back. One star removed because it's hard to see at night, the 7-11 next door is currently closed and there are no lights in the lot to clearly see the place. I recommend that maybe the business get some kind of lit sign to attract attention at least at night. I'm sure it will increase business. To sum it up, super fast service, super nice staff, and get more signage. I recommend this place!!! read more

So so very happy to find this place this afternoon. The long story being discarded I am jumping right to Poke Bar. Thankfully this location is in an area with parking. The first worker was not versed in what's what to any useful degree. But the other guy was (Jose) not only knowledgeable but very helpful on every turn as I tried to score the perfect bowl. I'm a newbie. The last attempt at a new store near my home was staffed by a young girl who said she was both a vegetarian (!?!??! Why hire such a useless person at such a place?) and only working her first week solo. That meal was less than desirable. But Jose knew the deal and offered suggestions and opinions relative to what might be worth trying vs what is a no no that shouldn't be attempted. In short, my meal was great. This chain is in the fast food grade of potential I guess, but both times (San Diego was my first) I've entered, I was beyond satisfied. read more

First time trying this place, and with UberEats. My poke bowl arrived completely dry without any dressing / sauce. It was bizarre. The rice was also overcooked and dry...the seared albacore was all munched up into big ugly pieces and were super dry. So I called the store to complain, and the two workers I spoke to were completely clueless and unprofessional. Felt like I was talking to middle schoolers. This is a disgrace to poke bowls. Never again. read more

To all the people saying the orders suck when they order it from Uber eats... how about come in and order ! Poke is all about freshness and you're set up for failure when ordering at home. I come here a few times a week and have always received the best service . I love their portions - it can barely fit in the container . I love the point system that helps me get free bowls ! Eric Jose and Roman always treat me like a king . They remember me and mostly remember my order ! They always ask me how I am in life and check on me and I really appreciate that more than anything . Roni the old manager was my girl ! I miss her so much . She treated me just as well and so happy to see her training carried on. The location is a bit sus because of the burnt down 711 in the same parking lot but the location is right on my drive home so I always stop in when I'm craving . Also the spicy mayo is perfect - just the right amount of spice ! A favorite for sure !!! Thanks team keep it up :) read more

While simply named, Poke Bar has been my favorite LA poke spot for several weeks now. I pick up orders for an office and this is the most requested place we go to (of all cuisines). The ingredients are always of the freshest, highest quality. This shop does not limit the amount of (non-premium) add-ins you can choose! This greatly benefits a glutton like me. Those toppings are also of the most delectable variety of possible poke add-ins. Poke Bar also does one thing that I think sets them above the rest of the would-be Poke Kings: they pre-mix your bowl! While it's a cool Instagram photo to see your cucumbers in this corner and your seaweed salad in that corner, Poke Bar thoughtfully (and with gloved hands) gently massages your ingredients together to provide a consistent taste throughout your meal! What truly caps this off though, is the outstanding service from the Husband and Wife who run this hole-in-the-wall. Not only are they so friendly, but they care about your experience. They want to feed you good food. You can't say that about just any restaurant. To sum up -- Poke Bar is a fairly priced, magnificently though-out, family-owned GEM in Hollywood. Check it out and prove me wrong! read more

I wanted something light to eat after a weekend of Friendgiving events. This poke bowl really hit the spot. I ordered a preset bowl, since I had never been there before. The staff member that helped me was really nice and guided me through the bowl building experience. I ended up with a not so basic tasty bowl that I devoured. I also ordered the passion fruit fresh tea with honey boba that was very refreshing and not overly sweet. read more

Poke Bar is located in a strip mall on the corner of Olympic and La Brea, near what is to be one of the metro stops off the Purple line. There is a bit of parking in the strip mall and found myself a spot around 11:30 on a weekday morning. There was no one in the shop so I was able to walk up and make my purchase. The Staff was friendly and helpful as I chose my small bowl with brown rice, tuna and salmon pieces. There are lots of yummy sides to choose from including edamame, cucumbers, pineapple, cilantro and for an extra dollar, avocado. You'll have to request the ingredients to be tossed, otherwise they won't be. Be sure to also check in on Yelp for a free cup of Miso soup worth $2.25 otherwise -- it's quite yummy! Definitely a cool spot on the way to Koreatown or DTLA off of Olympic. I'll definitely be back to get my Poke fix! read more

Can't go wrong with a poke bowl however, it is very disappointing when my fave is salmon and asked for two scoops but only got a few pieces. Their spicy tuna is perfectly spiced and seasoned. A whole lot of rice though... 2 whole ass scoops of rice. Again, just super disappointed with portion sizes here. read more

I ordered takeout-and off the bat I really appreciate the ease in which I could have both mixed greens and rice. The prices are reasonable and I especially appreciate that they don't over charge the add ons like Avocado. Good portions and decent amount of toppings at a reasonable price. My only real complaint is that is seemed as if maybe the lid came off while putting the Spicy Mayo on, as it was beyond saturated, the picture is after I scooped a few spoon fulls out, losing some lettuce as a casualty...and really tried mixing it in....It was still too much but what I could tell the fish seemed to be fresh. But I will try it again, with maybe a note... read more

Poké Bar - Good portion but too saucy - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This poke place was just ok for me in comparison to other poke places I have been to. The over all taste was ok and the add on veggies felt fresh but the fish (I had a 2 scoop bowl of salmon and tuna) felt kind of chewy which is never a good sign when you deal with raw fish. AThey don't have any outdoor seating so it's take out only at this moment however There's plenty of parking at the plaza where it's located so that's a plus if you want to eat in your car like I did. read more

Poke was alright. Rice was a little hard in some areas, perhaps a little dense too. Helps to mix it up (as you should) for the full flavoring. I do enjoy the ginger in this. read more

This is a great whole in the wall place. It's tucked in right next to a 7-11 and a pet grooming place. I actually found this place using Yelp! Clearly everyone is on the same page. This place is clean and we'll displayed. Everything is fresh and prepared that day. When I was Inside ordering, there was a steady line of mobile orders in to pick up their food. Everything looks delicious and really bold flavor. I will definitely come back to this hidden gem. (Maybe I shouldn't post this, now everyone will find out about my new favorite spot ) read more

Not fresh quality food. Ordered on UberEats medium size build your own bowl and passion fruit tea boba for lunch around 11:30AM. The boba was good, the poke bowl was not. Although they got the order correct, the quality of the food was not edible. The rice tasted old and stale, as if they were at least a day or two old. Some of the rice was harden, stuck together and had a weird after taste. The cucumber salad tasted sour and foul, like they were spoiled. The fish tasted ok though, so thats something. It is possible they are using old ingredients on some of the orders because they are not getting much business after all those negative reviews left by customers. I would avoid ordering poke from this place unless you are trying to get food poisoning on purpose. read more

DISCLAIMER...it's just this location. The staff member (Rekik) was rude and dismissive. My co-worker and I went here for lunch. It was her first time at Poké Bar (not her first experience with Poké). She had questions about the menu and how to build a bowl. He spoke to her as if she was a little child with a mental impairment. I was baffled. Not cool at all. Avoid this location, there are multiple in the area. No one should have to be subjected to this kind of service. read more

This was my first time here and I was very happy with what I got. I had my doubts because I've never tried a poke place in this neighborhood so I didn't know how it was going to be like. But I ordered online and the food was ready earlier than expected, the service was super friendly! I think they might've missed a few toppings that I ordered but it probably might have been because they ran out. Either way, the poke was fresh and delicious! The one thing I liked about this place compared to others is that they offer corn, pineapple, and crunchy garlic and onions as toppings and I haven't seen that done at any other places. I would definitely come back again! read more

I am so disappointed. I've ordered here a couple times in the past few years and the quality has dramatically changed. I placed an order through Postmates today and although my order was correct- all three bowls had a very chemical/bleach like taste and smell that was unfathomable. I am very unsatisfied and will need to make a formal complaint about it. This is unacceptable, especially when dealing with raw fish. I didn't want to risk getting sick from my meal and threw my $60+ meal straight to the trash. At least my drink orders tasted fine... read more

I still love this place but the last three times I've been there some, not all of the kale they serve has turned yellow and a yellow leaf or two end up in my poke' bowl. I eat a lot of kale and it takes a while before it starts turning yellow so it kinda' makes me wonder about the freshness of some of the items. I'm still a fan, but I wish they'd save the yellow kale for turtle food or the compost pile. Yellow leaves are pretty in the autumn, but not in my bowl o' Poke'. read more
