    Build your own bowl with spicy tuna and spicy salmon over kale
    Amy T.

    This is the best poke I've had outside of Hawaii. It is SO fresh and delicious. I really love how you can make your own bowl and create with whatever ingredients you love. My favorite is the spicy tuna and spicy salmon. I also make sure to get ponzu and spicy mayo. I especially love that if I'm not feeling as hungry, instead of having it on rice, I have them put kale as the base. Healthy and incredible. I crave it every time I come to the mall now- it's amazing!! There is usually a line at lunchtime, but it moves quickly. (I agree with Halo C about ignoring the negative reviews.) Highly recommend this place!

    Food was great. The Build Your Own Poke Bowl had many customizable options. It was a nice healthy meal.

    Custom poke bowl
    Kevin C.

    The service is terrible, the guy yelled when we couldn't understand the process and kept asking clarification questions about the custom bowl as he was preparing our order. He was very rude and did not seem like he wanted our business. We use to frequent the previous poke spot that use to be here and decided to give this place a try. We will not be going back. Food - the rice is hard! We all know the rice makes it, if it's it good, it's bad!

    Poukei was quick, efficient, and filled the bowls up with a lot of protein. The food felt fresh, and I am just astonished at the other people's reviews. The ambiance is also quite easy going because you can sit anywhere indoor or at the patio within the mall. I would definitely get this again if I wanted some poke at the mall!

    In LA for Anime Expo 2026, my friend and I were staying at the Hyatt House LA - University Medical…read moreCenter and after a full day of flying, we were looking for dinner, not wanting to travel too far from our hotel. My friend wanted me to try something new and since I had never had poke before, All About Poke fit the bill! We walked in around 6:45pm on a Wednesday. We were the only customers inside, but the two young women working behind the counter were bustling making Uber Eats/Door Dash orders, which was fine with me as it gave my friend and I time to look at all the options on the menu. The staff were friendly and quick, so when we were ready to order, it didn't take long before we were cashed out and eating. Inside there were several tables and chairs and since there was no one else inside, we had no problem grabbing a table. It was pretty clean inside and music played over speakers to make sure there was no dead air. For dinner, I ordered a medium poke bowl: brown rice base, three (good-sized) scoops of tofu, House Sauce, topped with avocado (small upcharge), cucumber, cilantro, and the "Whole Shebang" (fried garlic, sesame seed, fried onion, and furikake), with a small sample of wasabi on the side of the bowl and a cup of wasabi mayo for my free, extra sauce, as well as a cherry vanilla Olipop to wash it all down. I am really impressed, the poke bowl was delicious and surprisingly filling! The tofu tasted great, I was glad I added avocado which added a little creaminess to the bowl, and their House Sauce was great! Every ingredient in this bowl came together nicely! But if you need to clear your sinuses, get the wasabi - Wooo, my eyes were watering and my nose was running from that! The wasabi mayo is much milder, thank goodness, and was a nice, small addition. The medium-size was surprisingly filling and I think the price reflected that well. I did want a sweet treat to round out my meal, so I grabbed a vanilla macaron, which had vanilla ice cream in the middle, as well. The ice cream inside was creamy and the macaron had great texture with plenty of vanilla, a nicely sized treat! For my first time having a poke bowl, I think All About Poke did a great job! Friendly and quick customer service, fresh ingredients, and good-size portions, what more could I ask for? I wouldn't mind at all coming back for lunch or dinner.

There were a couple of people before us so that gave us time to look at the menu. Our go to is the large 4 fish ($21) which was enough for my husband and I to share. The service was good and fish/toppings plentiful. The employee was patient when we asked for almost all the toppings. Love the lemon cream! The crispy onion is what keeps us coming back--a must!! The ambience is simple but clean. We ate there and could easily have a conversation. They provide iced water in a dispenser. Bathroom was clean. Parking can be tough which is a hindrance for us, but today we found a spot easily. When we left, the parking lot was bustling. We really enjoyed our poke bowl! The fish was fresh. We got salmon x2, scallops, and shrimp. For our sides, seaweed salad and crabmeat. Base was half kale/half brown rice. Almost all the toppings. We got the garlic ponzu with spicy mayo in one corner. Eel sauce was drizzled all over which I didn't prefer, but it tasted good in the end. Our tummies were happy and satisfied!

The portions are decent, and the poke is on the medium quality range. There are plenty of toppings and options to choose from--I would recommend taking a look ahead of time to see the full amount of options. When we walked in we were not greeted, and I asked a bit more information on how the combos work. The worker seemed visibly annoyed to answer my questions (thus my suggestion at studying beforehand!) and listlessly fulfilled the order after I made my decision. I won't be returning, but for anyone looking for a mid-tier poke place in a plaza with many options (if you have a group), I think it's a decent option!

Both the guy and the girl were incredibly friendly, professional, patient and helped us 3 get exactly what we wanted. I went with a large (4 scoops) poke bowl and my two friends each had a medium. The key element for every single poke shop is the freshness of the ingredients, and this place was no exception. Both the protein and the veggies were as fresh as they could be, chopped/minced/cut to perfection and with a great presentation. The actual store was clean, quiet, and a perfect place to eat a calm lunch. Then we had some of their mochi (there were only two flavors left) which were pretty good. 10/10. Highly recommended place.

I'd recommend going to sweet fin. Sweet fin provides much more quick and efficient service allowing you to come and go. Bunch of options and the area is nice. Summer is around the corner and it's going to end soon and poke me is off everyone's list including mine. Pictures look great but let's talk about consistency. Been a regular signed up for loyal zoo and even decided to give this location a try after my previous one. Very poor My experience can not be made up and I've concluded my experience and hope everyone reframes from spending money at this business!! Those who leave good reviews most likely are affiliated to the buisness or hasn't seen or wanted to experiment any other poke shop. Go to sweet fin. Be aware of this place. I called the store but nobody answered. 0/10 stars.

The polite and personable gentleman behind the counter helped me narrow down my choices and offered samples. The salmon and tuna poke were delicious. One was shoyu, and the other was limu; both had umami flavors. I was so glad that the shoyu didn't have a hint of sweetness and that the limu wasn't too salty. The savory seasoning/marinade and cool temp made the poke a very satisfying and refreshing meal. I also asked for rice and mac salad for my to-go plate, and those were solid complements to the poke. It's a chill, fast-casual place with Hawaiian tropical decor and a few dine-in tables. The plaza it's in is kinda small and janky, but at least parking is free. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to drop by for their poke.

I ordered the 3-protein rice bowl and chose salmon, tuna and spicy tuna as my protein selection. I then covered it up with a bunch of fresh veggie toppings like cucumber, green onions and jalapeños, added multiple sauces and topped it with their crispy onions.

The veggies were ripe and yummy and the sauces made it so much better....I'm such a sauce guy, need sauce on everything. And finally, I absolutely loved the taste of their crispy onions.

At one point, I lightly touched the glass while pointing at what I wanted, and she abruptly scolded me with, "Don't touch the glass." There are much more respectful ways to communicate with customers, and the interaction felt unnecessarily hostile. To make matters worse, my poke bowl had noticeably less food than I've received at other 8 Oz Poke locations, and it wasn't nearly as flavorful as the Encino location. The quality and portion were both underwhelming. I was also surprised to find there's an additional fee if you want to sit and eat there. After an unpleasant interaction, a smaller and less flavorful meal, an extra dine-in fee, and then being prompted for a tip, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be returning to this location. If you have the option, I'd recommend going to the Encino location instead.
