    Updated 2025 menu. Great price, considering how good quality and large the scoops are.
    Jonathan J.

    Stumbled across this place while I was waiting for an appointment with a client nearby the airport. Extremely friendly staff, very easy process to order, and very high-quality and fresh fish. They leave plenty of side sauces to grab on your way out. This is my new favorite poke spot.

    So glad I found this little hidden gem near my work! All the ingredients are so fresh and they are pretty generous with the fish. I really appreciate that they do not over sauce the poke. I usually ask for the sauce on the side at other places but I don't have to at Poke OC because they add just the right amount. They also have little to go sauces for people to grab if you'd like a bit more. I've been coming here at least once a week since I've discovered them and sometimes even twice a week. Highly recommend!

    Poke Large Bowl with salmon, tuna and spicy tuna

    This is decent poke. I ordered a large poke bowl with salmon, tuna, and spicy tuna. Fish was fine and sauce had a fresh citrus bite. I appreciate that the scoop of avocado and crab mix was not extra, but the scoops were relatively small. Other toppings were fine, but nothing to make this worth the extra drive from my office. Overall price for food was good. You will not leave hungry. I prefer Uroko in Costa Mesa, but I wanted to try something different. Might try it again.

    Went on a weekday and it was fairly crowded as lots of local thoroughfare from the nearby business park came in. I got a regular poke bowl which came with free avocado and crab meat; I thought the quality of the fish itself was decent, pretty comparable to all of the other poke spots nearby, but the service was considerably easier and faster. This is to go only with no option to dine in.

    I was in the area and decided to try this place out. The moment we walked in we were greeted, the customer service was excellent. Ladies were very nice. Everything looked fresh and delicious. It's been a long time since I've had a poke bowl that I didn't need to add anything to it, the sauces they put on made it that more flavorful. Everything from the rice to the crab mix, to the spicy tuna was amazing. My husband got the spicy tuna and albacore tuna and octopus everything was great and fresh. When we are in the area again we will definitely be back. If you're looking for a great poke bowl, come try it out!

    First time...sublime. Fast-food modern decor. Server was very helpful and polite. I had a large bowl which was the perfect amount of deliciousness. I chose spring mix base; avocado side; octopus 2 scoops, scallops 2 scoops, tuna 1 scoop; mild spicy; ginger, masago, seaweed salad toppings. Their house sauce was great. All items looked and tasted fresh. I didn't think the tuna was great quality, the scallops were okay, but the octopus was outstanding. Next time I will probably order just octopus 5 scoops for the protein!

    I was in the area for an appointment and decided to give Poke OC a try. I was a little intimidated by the ordering format but the staff behind the counter was very helpful and it is amazingly simple. The ambiance is more of a take out vibe but it is clean and bright inside. There are no seats and you order at the counter adjacent to the cash register. The poke bowl items are located in metal containers placed behind glass partitions and they appeared to be very fresh. There were servers that place the items you want in a take out bowl. I ordered the regular size bowl (there is an option to order a large bowl) with a base of brown rice and spring salad. The protein I ordered were tuna, spicy tuna and shrimp. The sides I ordered were avocado and crab (imitation) and the toppings were edamame, ginger and green onion and I picked a mild spicy sauce. The combination was amazing and everything tasted very fresh. I would definitely return!

    Such a cute little poke spot! I came during my lunch break and service was quick and the staff was super nice! I love how there's so many sauce and topping options.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

There is limited parking but the lot was mostly empty when I visited at 8am on a weekday. I was greeted with a smile upon entry and I got in a line of about 8 people. The line would whittle down rather quickly but then would go right back up to about 8, back & forth, during the entire time I was there. Only 2 gals were working but they were like a machine, taking orders and cranking out drinks in a perfectly synchronized barista ballet. I ordered a large hot Spanish latte and chose a chocolate croissant from the pastry case. I declined having the pastry warmed as the chocolate gets melty and gooey-messy all over my hands. She informed me that the latte would have 4 shots of espresso unless I wished otherwise, but I was ready for a good case of coffee jitters. The interior is very small with 6 two-tops crammed together and a window counter with 5 or so chairs. I sat at a table. The latte was perfectly made, served at immediate drinking temperature, with a great quality coffee and a cinnamon flavor that was exactly the right strength. The croissant was fresh with plenty of chocolate inside. By the time I finished it, I looked like a three-year-old; my lips were smeared with chocolate. This was an excellent pastry.

Got both the hot latte with 2% milk (12 oz) and iced latte with 2% milk + house made vanilla (12 oz). The house made vanilla was good, nothing special but did not have that artificial, alcohol-y taste you sometimes get from the store bought syrups. The drinks, however, tasted more milk than espresso forward. Not my personal preference but if you like your drinks on the milkier side this is probably better suited for your tastes. The flavor of the espresso was fine but I personally would have preferred to add a min additional shot or two for a more coffee forward taste, even with just the plain latte.

But if a business advertises that they close at 8:00 PM, customers reasonably expect to still be able to place an order before 8. Even a simple "we can only do a limited menu right now" would have felt more accommodating. What made the experience disappointing was not just being turned away, but the feeling that we were unwelcome despite technically arriving before closing time. South Coast Plaza already closes relatively early compared to many food spots, so making the effort to get there before 8 only to be denied service left a bad impression.
