    Came here recently and was seriously impressed. The poke was super fresh and full of flavor everything tasted clean and high quality. What really stood out though was the owner's generosity. She's not shy at all with the sides... you ask, and she hooks it up with big portions. You definitely won't leave hungry. Great food and great service will definitely be coming back!

    Really good new poke spot Ive found! Fish was fresh, portions were generous, and everything tasted super clean and flavorful~! Lots of topping options and the staff was friendly too. Perfect quick meal when you want something light but filling. Definitely coming back!

    I'm a regular here and Jin always takes care of me. She's very friendly and helpful.

    Food is fresh and good. Jin always takes care of me when I want some poke for lunch. I love the fact that when you walk in, it's clean and doesn't smell fishy.

    Medium Bowl

    I came here a couple of times this past year and each time the food, service, and experience was great! The poke bowl was generous and is a lot bigger than what other poke places offer for similar pricing! They give you a decent amount of proteins/toppings and don't skim on anything! Considering this location as my top 3 favorite poke places in LA to go to whenever I am craving a bowl!

    Small bowl with salad as base. So much yummy crunch onion and garlic that you can't see the protein, but it's there!

    Came on a Saturday afternoon and definitely carpooled with a friend because the parking in this plaza can be hectic at times. We were greeted promptly by a friendly worker and choose to dine-in on one of their small tables inside. I ordered: A Small sized bowl with salad as a base. It came with 2 different protein options, multiple veggie toppings, imitation crab, seaweed salad, masago, and ginger. It's mixed with the sauces of your choice and topped with dry mix ins, such as crunch onion and garlic, furikake, or nuts. I would recommend the Spicy House sauce mix, which included their spicy mayo (which was actually pretty spicy!) and their house sauce. Was it exceptional? Not quite... but the portions were generous and the service was nice. For a small sized bowl on salad, it was very filling!

    Nice and friendly cashier lady at the front counter. OK was fresh and I like the warm brown rice. Gives it a perfect plan. I got everything on the veggie options and she recommended the sauce to go with it. I got the small portion and I could not finish it. Definitely will be going back. Clean Restuarant, has a fridge for drinks selections.

    Finally tried this place and it's a total win! The food is incredibly clean, fresh, and delicious.

    Wow! I honestly didn't expect much when I walked in -- but oh boy, was I wrong! I ordered a small size, and guess what? This is what they call small! It just never ends -- I kept eating and it barely looked touched. The owner was super friendly from the moment I stepped in, and the food? Don't even get me started. Hands down the freshest, most delicious poke I've ever had. Highly, highly recommended!

    Large bowl 4 scoops of protein. I have two of salmon and two of octopus. Delicious

    I come here once every couple of weeks to get my Poke fix and the lady (owner) is always welcoming and has a great attitude. The food is fresh and very yummy. Support small businesses!!

    Been here once before and I was good. Decided to try it again. Great place. Food: It's a poke spot but it's more than that. It's amazing and the way you create you're bowl is completely customizable. The portions are great. It comes in three (3) sized (S) (M) and (L) the large is $19.25 and you get the base which I always get rice and than you get 4 proteins + all the toppings you want. They also provide sauce combinations as well and if you're not sure they have a breakdown menu for sauce combos. Everything is fresh and has great taste. NOTE: They stopped selling the nocho option. So sad because nachos under the Poke was the best. Atmosphere: The restaurant is nice and clean it's simple and welcoming. Great colors and has some seating space. Service: The staff was so nice and patient obviously having a create your own bowl takes some decision making so allowing me to make my decisions without feeling rushed was amazing. Price: Prices are good for the amount of food you get and you get a really good amount. I will say I added extra vegetables and my medium poke bowl came out $2 higher but honestly it's totally worth it. Not mad at all. Location: It's located in Gardena off Western Blvd and Redondo Blvd. In what I like to call restaurant row. Great location. Parking can be tight but if you wait a few minutes something always opens up.

    The poke itself is really good and tastes fresh. I got the tuna and salmon with spicy mayo and enjoyed it as much as I have with other poke spots. Customer service is excellent and the store is very comfortable and relaxing to enjoy a quiet meal. My only complaint is the portion size to price ratio. It maybe be because I got a small but my total was about $17 for about half the size as other places. I really want to see this place succeed and hope the criticism can be taken into consideration. You can't beat the convenience as a gardena local in Tozai plaza. Poke 4/5 really good Customer service 5/5 mom and pop feel and hospitality Wait 5/5 Very Quick Price and portion 3/5 the only thing holding it back in my opinion I hope there's a line out the door when I come back :)

    Lots of parking from a shared lot. Bathroom is nice but needs a code from employee to open. Always get the full of joy for the sauce profile. I also add everything except the chili powder and pay for the large bowl at $19.25. They have a large variety of bottled and soda drinks that can be iced.

They also offer burgers, sandwiches, and poke bowls as well as breakfast dishes. I finally came here for lunch and it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday. Hubby got the Ahi Tuna Poke Salad and it was a generous portion! The ingredients were fresh and the ginger miso dressing was delicious. I got the Chicken Katsu and Fried Chicken Combo, which came with salad, rice and mac salad. The Fried Chicken was seasoned and fried to perfection! So juicy too. The chicken katsu was a bit disappointing though. The chicken was pounded paper thin and the panko crust, although it was crispy and not too oily, separated from the chicken. The sides were pretty average. I heard they also have live music on the weekends and evenings, which is great in their spacious dining area. Love the cute drawings and messages from locals and the collection of ladybugs and lucky cats. I would come back since I work close by. I would definitely get the fried chicken again and try other dishes on their extensive menu. Friendly and efficient service. Free parking lot in the back.

You go in for what you know, and that already gets you caught up, but then you also want to try something new because there's always something new to try. Sometimes it's a gamble, sometimes it's amazing and you're like "OMG! I need this every time," and sometimes you're like "what was that?" And you really don't know what it was because the descriptions aren't in English. The staff is always super friendly. If you go for hot food during lunchtime, you will get caught up because you'll want to pile your plate high and forget they weigh it & you can easily end up with a $24 plate on top of all your groceries. They have great sweet treats that aren't super high in sugar, which is a plus. Their ramens are my favorite. I've probably tried every one. My favorite is the one with the black pieces in it (I think they're mushrooms). I still haven't tried the mushrooms, but the creamy broth mix is everything. Their sparkling sodas are always delicious. My favorite is the Hello Kitty strawberry one. I told all my friends about it, and me and my sister go regularly. My sister loves the banana milk! Definitely recommend!

    They have a lot of premade food options. Some are decently priced and some are on the pricier side…read more If you go at 7pm or latter they do mark down the sushi and other premade food by 20% off. The thing that's good about going to Tokyo central for premade sushi is that they make all their sushi fresh daily and what's not sold is marked down and got rid of before next day compared to other markets where they sell their sushi that's like 2-4 days old. They went viral for awhile for having a hot food bar, which looked like a buffet but in reality you grab what you want but it's $15.99 a pound. The pound adds up really quick and you end with paying like $30. The food isn't that great in the hot food bar in my option so I'd skip it. The market itself is very pricey it's not a cheap market. So if your planning on buying grocery your gonna pay high prices. I'd go here for a quick sushi roll or some mochi they sell a bag from Japan for $3.99 with red bean that's pretty good. One of my favorite food item is the umami chicken karage with rice that's pre packaged and if you can snag it while it's still hot that great. Its usually on a separate table on in the refrigerated section, It's the one with some teriyaki sauce over it, not the regular one. As you exit you can grab utensils, napkins, wasabi. ginger, soy sauce. Parking is a hit and miss, it's a popular market if you go there at lunch time it's packed or weekends. Personally I drop by to get a quick bite, sushi roll or chicken karage . They do have a food court that has a Japanese bakery, takoyaki , a katsu place. Upstairs they have a sushi bar which is unique I havnt tried it but seems a bit pricey but looks like quality. Looking for something Japanese in food wise, this would be one of the places to go to look for it. I don't know why it seems like every Asian market I've been to is so cramped and hardly any space when trying to get around with a cart. It's the same here.t

For the Poke bowls, select your bowl size, pick two from the four or so fish choices, a base (rice or salad), and for most bowls a side or two. After several visits, my experience has been fine each time. Good quality fish and fresh sides. There are also some plate options where you can select Huli Chicken or Kalua Pork. I've tried both the chicken and pork (though not on the plate option), and both were excellent. This location used to be strictly take-out, but now there are two tables inside if you'd like to sit inside. I feel compelled to mention that when I recently visited this location, they had a health grade of B from LA County displayed in the window. Yelp shows that they had 14 health code violations on September 18. Usually, I don't show too much concern for these health scores, but when a restaurant's primary product is raw fish, a lower score gets my attention.

I was a fan of their El Segundo location but I believe it is gone. This place had about 5 or 6 different fresh poke styles available during our visit. We tried the Hawaiian, the Creamy Garlic Crunch, and the Sweet and Spicy. We also ordered the Chips and Smoked Ahi Dip, and the Huli Chicken Bowl. I think I loved everything. The Creamy Garlic Crunch poke was especially amazing. It had a slight spicy kick to it and it was rich and delicious. The chips that came with the dip were obviously freshly-made wontons and I could have eaten a hundred of them. The dip was good but not as flavorful as I had hoped or had in the past. For the chicken bowl, the rice and cucumbers that came with the chicken were excellent. You get a ton of mac salad and it is excellent. The chicken was solid, too. Unless they are hiding in plain sight, the places that just sell fresh poke, without the bowl, are few and far between in Southern California. I love poke bowls, too, but sometimes the poke by itself (with the different sauces and seasoning) is just incredible. This spot serves delicious fresh poke and I will always be a fan.
