This is definitely a togo spot but will hit the spot if you're craving sushi or raw fish or just a bento box with everything. Everything was fresh and yummy and I was so full for 25 bucks. I wouldn't eat inside jsut cause it's a bit awkward but take it home or to the park or whatever and enjoy read more

I stopped by Sweetfin for lunch and placed my order on the app for pickup. The space is small with just a few tables available outside. When you walk in, they have a kiosk inside where you can place your order. The staff member greeted me, asked for my name, and handed me my order. I ordered a build your own bowl and it was good! I walked over to UCLA and enjoyed it there! read more

My friends and I were looking for a place to have dinner before a screening at the Hammer Museum. Sweetfin came up on my InKind app for 20% off, and it was just around the corner! It's a small place. We ordered three poke (I chose the salmon) bowls where we could choose the rice. We sat outside to eat our poke bowls. My salmon bowl was decent. Service was slow, but understand we were three people and only one person was manning the counter of incoming customers. We went in to check on our orders and saw them waiting to be picked up, but he had to deal with customers. Person at the counter was friendly and helpful, but he needs help especially on a Saturday night. read more

Always tasty with their poke topping options, and pretty fast service. We sat outside and the tables were fairly clean and we were able to help ourselves to water and utensils. I use the inkind app which allows me to get 20-30% off, which is a better value for the meal. The large is a must because their small bowls are pretty small. read more

I've ordered through Uber a few times so cannot comment on the service or ambiance. Of note, depending on the restaurant, the price on uber is usually the same or few dollars more. I was shocked to see that if you order on Uber, it's nearly an extra $5, which I think for a $20 item is pretty drastic. Unfortunately I feel like the fish portion is pretty small and they give SO much rice. I can't tell if it's just a lot of rice or little fish but based on the to go thing it comes in, I think it's both (not as generous in toppings overall). I've ordered extra fish (on Uber, +$5) and it still was so much rice compared to fish/toppings. read more

The food comes out fast! Not much customer service... you just order on a screen but its super easy and efficient. Big portions and loved how everything tasted! Not a super busy location either read more

Unfortunately, my orders have been incorrect here more often than they have been correct. It's a shame because this is the location closest to my house, now I avoid going there. It is never ready on time and always missing ingredients. Very small lake location with no seating and metered parking all around. read more

Sweetfin Classic box is one of my go-to lunch. The presentation makes me feel involved in the eating process. My favorite is the taro chips which have wasabi flakes that add complexity to the flavor. I would like more protein in my box - I did feel like the most recent box had less salmon that prior, but overall this is a very fresh lunch that keeps it light and fun for the rest of the day. read more

Horrible customer service. The front check out guy looks like he hates his job and made me feel so uncomfortable when ordering. Bad vibes. The older man in the back making my food at least tried to be pleasant with me. Food was nothing great. Rice was hard and dry. Small portions too. Won't be eating here again. read more

Customizable poke bowls, with fun ingredient options like forbidden rice, bamboo rice, kelp noodle salad, citrus kale, eggplants, chili oil, and mushrooms! I love how the ingredients here are unique from other poke places, while still feeling super healthy and fresh and cohesive. Got a small custom bowl with tofu and salmon and both were fantastic. The miso sauce was on the lighter side and complimented all the toppings well. The crunchy onions (they don't skimp!) added a ton of crunch but not much flavor, so I'd get the crunchy garlic next time instead. The bowl was super filling and satisfying; it's also such a good price (~$12) for a sizable bowl. Large bowls are ~$15 which is a great deal too for cali. Packaging is so cute too and feels very LA. Would definitely come back whenever I'm craving poke bowls. There's not a lot of seating inside btw, but service was quick and efficient, and the bowls came out super fast as well. read more

Very decent food. The flavors are nice and the options are good. Gluten free! The ambiance is a little cramped but good for food on the go. I will say that this is only a 4/5 for the rather stoic service, but maybe I just caught them on an off day. read more

Rude employee. Would not come here again, I walked out before even thinking to buy a bowl.

I love Sweetfin- I have been a huge fan for several years. I used to order the large (4.5 ounce protein), rather than the small (2.5 ounce protein) and add extra protein (3 ounces), for a total of 7.5 ounces. But I never used to finish the rice. So, I switched to ordering the small and adding protein (total 5.5 ounce), but I would find I still needed something to eat after that. Today, I ordered the large without adding extra protein and I feel very satisfied. It was a perfect amount for me. My order: Large BYOB bowl ($15.90) Base (up to 3 options) : forbidden rice, coconut rice, and kelp noodle slaw) Protein (up to 2 options): yellowfin tuna (4.5 ounces) Sauces (up to 3): yuzu koshu, add extra, on the side Free toppings (up to 6): cilantro, chili orange, cucumber, pickled ginger, pineapple, seaweed salad Options: No sesame seeds Cons: There was some black marks on the inside of my bowl- probably from where they handled the bowl. I took my order to go, but after leaving, I realized they forgot the pickled ginger and they added sesame seeds. Similar things have occurred in the past, and for that reason, I deducted a star. However. I feel that I am partially to blame for not noticing before I left. Pros: They completed my order on time (I placed it through the app). The staff working there was helpful and had good customer service. The food is delicious! read more

Food was pretty good, but I found a hair in my bowl. Employee was nice about it and gave me a full refund, but I can't recommend this place.

I had a gift card to use here and tried to order online for pickup but couldn't figure out how to checkout with a gift card on their app. I went in store to order and the two guys working told me their system in store hasn't been able to take giftcards for over a year so just fyi if you plan on using a Sweetfin gift card here. You have to select credit card and then it gives you the option to add gift card...took us awhile to figure out. Anyway, I got the yuzu salmon bowl and the guava lemonade. Honestly everything was very bland and not very flavorful. There are probably better poke spots out there. The best part about this place are the employees. The two guys working the front were so nice and patient and willing to go above and beyond to help. I wish I got their names so I could give them a shout out. There were some tables outside to dine outside. One thing that I found weird was that they don't make the bowl in front of you they make it in the back. I've never been to a poke place that didn't have everything in displays out front where you choose exactly what you want. Parking is street parking. read more

Sweetfin Poke Westwood Village - Yuzu Salmon Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The portions are smaller and smaller, today the bowl was half filled and half empty! The contrary to what they do right after they opened. The black rice today was not fresh , tasted hard and stilled, the person working there today, didn't even bother to ask me if I want anything else. read more

4/5 for the food, service, and location. Quick grab-n-go area if you're in a rush and want a healthier option. My friend and I visited the Hammer Museum and wanted to eat after. Cool choice - happy we got to check this place out. Food: I ordered the BYOB, Tuna + Shrimp, Classic, and Bamboo Rice. I got all their toppings except the spicy options. My friend and I split Taro Chips as well. Overall, the portion was enough for me. I felt satisfied after, not too full. The salmon and tuna tasted fresh. A typical poke bowl. The mango was fresh and in season, which was a plus. Service: You order at the counter and seat yourself. There's self-serve water cups to the side. There's about 6 seats inside and about 3 tables outside. It wasn't busy when we ate there, so we decided to eat outside since it was nice and sunny. Since there was no one there when we got there, we got our food quickly. Location: I don't believe there's a public restroom here. There's street parking everywhere, but it does share parking with all of the other retail shops. If you visit the Hammer Museum, you can park in the parking lot, but I'm unsure if you have to pay. We came on a Saturday afternoon, so it was kind of busy. Sweetfin is walking distance to a lot of things, so it's nice to have that option after you eat. Overall, a nice place to visit. Would come back here again if i'm ever in the area. read more

Cute little poke shop in Westwood with adorable outdoor seating and next to Alfred's coffee shop, about a 20 minute walk from UCLA. I almost always go for the Build Your Own Bowl option and the fish is usually fresh and yummy. The taro chips ($4.25) are also delicious with a kick of wasabi powder and garlic. The only drawback for me is that it's rather expensive for its portion size, around $15 for a small bowl where you'd get significantly more for that price at other poke stores in the area. read more

The amount of fish and toppings that you get for a large bowl for close to $20 is not worth the price. See photo for reference. They used to fill up the bowl and now the bowl leaves much to be desired. The quality of the fish is also not fresh, as albacore should be red, but the albacore they gave me was light pink, almost brown. I ordered the truffled yuzu albacore bowl and barely tasted any truffle or yuzu flavor, very disappointing and I was still hungry after a large bowl. I've ordered large bowls before and they were definitely filled to the brim. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Made my purchase through uber eats and timeliness and accuracy of the order was perfect. The quality of the fish tasted fresh I was completely shocked to see they added the box to the menu as I know this style serving became popular from another location in DTLA. Spicy tuna is made differently than I'm used to but overall I'm pleased with the service and quality of the food here. Deff will be back read more

I hate to knock a restaurant but this is not poke. The staff is very nice. The ambiance is smooth and clean but we gotta stop this unseasoned poke trend in LA. Poke is supposed to be marinated in Shoyu, sea salt, and red pepper flakes at the very least. Sweetfin is just glorified sashimi over rice. But it makes sense the food would be tasteless in this part of town considering the crowd. Do yourselves a favor and go to "Jus Poke" by Redondo not only do they give you a gang of food for the price, but the flavors are godlike read more

This place gave me food poisoning about one hour after consumption. I'd had nothing else to eat that day. Ordered the large albacore tuna build your own bowl and a ginger lemonade for just under $20 around 3:15pm. Not sure if it was because the fish may have been sitting out since I had a later meal.. but that's no excuse. There were plenty of people who picked up to-go orders so I wonder how they fared. It was a tasty meal but a small portion for ordering a large and definitely not worth having to use the bathroom every 5 minutes for the rest of the day. To top it off, the lady in front who took orders had such a bitter attitude, you can just tell she hates her life/job. It was my first time there and I asked one question about the build your own bowl option and she acted like I was stupid saying "Well if you read the menu." I also wanted to add the lemonade to my order last minute and she let out a huge sigh that I felt the need to apologize? There was one guy with her in the beginning and even he seemed sick of her attitude when conversing with her about work. They need to check not just their food quality but quality of staff... read more

I ordered from this location recently for the Tik Tok x Postmates collab Bento box. The special bento box is so good, I wish it was on the menu permanently! It's well-worth the $20 -- it's so much food! The Bento Box comes with Spicy Tuna over bamboo rice, Yuzu Salmon over citrus kale, yuzu truffle avocado dip with taro chips, and chili-ginger noodles, All of them were delicious, but I especially loved the truffle avocado dip with taro chips. The only minus for me was that my order took really long; my Postmate told me I was the first to order the special, so hopefully the kinks have been worked out since then for others' orders to be processed more smoothly! If you have a chance to check out this special, go for it! It's available until Nov. 22. read more

I used to really like Sweetfin. What I liked about it: Ingredients: They have very unique sauces and bases that you can't find elsewhere. Their fish is fresh (I guess that should be a necessity for a poke place). What I don't like about it anymore: Their portion size: A large is still very small. I also couldn't tell if they cheap out on my fish because I only picked one type of fish. Toppings: Crispy Onion and Garlic are burnt. I know they should be crispy, but burnt? My bowl was so bitter as a result of the burnt onion and garlic. Environment: barely any indoor dining. Only 4 tables outside. The inside is so crowded, especially when people are in line to order. Taro chips: for how much they charged and how little you get, definitely they are not worth it. I also don't like the seasoning on it too. read more

Food was not fresh, rice was stale and salmon did not taste good. Worse Sweetfin I have been too

I've been craving poke, especially since I haven't gone in a while and eating out is that much harder with COVID-19. That said, I was in the area and decided to treat myself. To preface, I ordered this through Postmates, so I'm not sure how the store looks or how nice the service is. The food came significantly earlier than was scheduled, so that was great. I was disappointed by the small portion size at first glance, especially with the additional charges through Postmates, but it was filling! The food was pretty good in terms of taste! I'm pretty picky about my spicy tuna, but I liked theirs. I will say the salad and crispy onions felt somewhat soggy and stale, but A) I'm sure it would've been different had I eaten it right after it was made and B) it wasn't bad enough to throw away the food. Like I said, the food was good! I'd order from here again, but I'll probably make the extra drive instead of ordering through Postmates next time :) read more

Sweetfin Poke Westwood Village - Spicy Tuna Bowl - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

"Sorry no seaweed" the words written on top of the poke bowls. I'll say that this wasn't the main reason for the 3 stars, but it definitely contributed. So I ordered 2 build your own bowl (BYOB) today on ubereats for lunch. One for the gf and one for myself. I've never ordered from sweetfin before but she has and she thought it was good enough to warrant having their food again. As I was placing the order, I asked her whether or not I should upgrade to large for another $4 and change. She said it probably wasn't necessary because she always gets filled up on a bowl. I ended up getting a regular bowl with 2 proteins and added a 3rd protein for an extra $4: Bamboo Rice * Cilantro Bamboo Rice * Salmon * Yellowfin Tuna * Extra Salmon * Black Garlic Gochujang * Chili-Lime Sauce * Crispy Garlic * Crispy Onions * Wasabi Furikake * Shiso * Japanese Eggplant * Seaweed Salad The gf also had 2 proteins and added a 3rd: Bamboo Rice * Salmon * Yellowfin Tuna * Extra Salmon * Sriracha Ponzu * Crispy Garlic * Shiso * Cucumber * Japanese Eggplant * Seaweed Salad * Hijiki I found the salmon and tuna to be fresh with firm chunks of meat that were silky soft when you bit into them. Most of the toppings I found to be good but they overloaded the bowl with them so much to the point that when I took a bite I couldn't taste anything but the toppings (crispy onions and garlic). Additionaly, I didn't think that either of us received 3 full scoops of protein in either of our bowls. The main thing that bothered me was the size of the bowls... They were really small and not what you would expect to receive for a $16 bowl. And written on top of the bowl were these words, "Sorry no seaweed". This was unfortunate since I love seaweed salad with my poke bowls. Good quality fish, but Sweetfin misses on the size of the bowl, the quantity of the protein, and too much of some toppings while missing others. read more

This is not like most poke spots--instead of building your bowl right in front of you, you order at the counter and they make your bowl in the back kitchen. However, they definitely impressed! They have preset bowls to choose from or you can build your own, and they have a solid variety of yummy bases to try! Their fish is fresh, and they have a TON of toppings to choose from like chopped kale, wasabi tobiko (which was actually pretty strong), charred habanero, radish, and mango! My general mindset when it comes to poke is that the spots that do too much with the topping choices tend to not be that great, but the quality of the ingredients here make this spot the exception. I had to try their forbidden rice, which is black wild rice, and I really enjoyed it--it had a looser texture than their bamboo rice and was lightly seasoned. Their sauces are a bit on the saltier side, so I would ask them to go a little light on it, but otherwise they were light and flavorful! Although their bowls are a bit pricey, they were still very filling and satisfying, and I could forgive it given the quality of ingredients used. This certainly wouldn't be my first choice, but I would definitely come again! read more

*** 4.5 stars *** I love poke and I thought that all poke was created equal, until I tried Sweetfin. Maybe it's not super "traditional" because they add extra ingredients and options that are not typical to poke, but I think that's exactly what makes Sweetfin special (and their poke extra tasty). I had the Large Spicy Tuna (Creamy Togarashi, Rice, Cauliflower, Slaw, Avocado, Crispy Onions, Hijiki, Edamame, Cucumber) and liked it so much that I ordered the exact same thing a week later. The only reason that I can think of for the low stars is that it's pricier than other poke places, and it's not super traditional. If neither of those things bothers you and you just want something delicious, this is your place. read more

Food is great, the fish is fresh. Their portions are a little different than other poke places. Two sizes: small which is a very small bowl and a large option which both offer the same number of protein choice. I've been here twice and booth time interacted with two different employees, both were very dry and not so welcoming and friendly. Other than that the food is really tasty and fresh. Lastly, wish they offered parking read more

Two stars just for the occasional deals on delivery apps/platforms and sushi burritos. I do like the packaging, but these days that's about it. The bowls are small, and they never seem to give you what you order. What's the point of the constant deals if the product at times tastes old/spoilt, and you don't really get what you want/paid for? Used to be hit-or-miss, but now the scales have tipped toward the miss. read more

Honestly one of my fave (if not my fave) poke spots. The toppings are so good and it's always fresh and delicious. I also don't feel like I'm going to waste any sushi as the portions of poke (in my opinion) are perfect. I've also yet to find another spot that offers bamboo rice and cauliflower rice! read more

Sweetfin Poke Westwood Village - Salmon poke with wasabi coconut! - Poke Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been to another Sweetfin location before and I wasn't too impressed. I thought I would give Sweetfin another chance but I ended up with the same result. Located along Westwood blvd, street parking is the only way to go. There are free parking lots in Westwood but not adjacent to the shop. When I went, there was only one person working the cash register and also handing out orders so it got a little backed up during lunch rush hour. There are some signature bowls you can choose from or you can simply build your own bowl which is what I did. While there are a ton of toppings to choose from, I don't like how they limit you to only 5 complimentary toppings. I know plenty of other poke places that let you choose as many toppings as you want. As far as the fish goes, it's good quality but I didn't think the portion size justifies the "large" bowl that I got. Not to mention, the bowls are pricey and it can add up quickly for it being a "fast-casual" place. If you're in the market for poke, the quality here is good but I wouldn't say it's a giant step above other poke places with the same quality, better price point and the option of unlimited toppings. read more

Decent spot for poke, but their ingredients are more geared towards the hipster crowd. Not a grain of normal steamed rice in sight. There's literally a better option for poke across the street. read more

To start, the lady who helped me (forgot to ask her name, sorry) - top notch! Friendly, made suggestions, knows the menu, etc - hit all the right notes! The food was good, got the sweetbox and spicy cucumber salad. A little pricey but not outrageous. Quality ingredients, but the salmon was a little fishy noting it was not as fresh as I'm used to (same or one day catch) and a bit sparse. One suggested addition would be a seasoned rice vinegar in the cucumber salad - it was a little stark with sesame oil and roasted garlic. The house lemonades are great. Not really an eat-in type of location but there is space if you need to as well as a couple sidewalk tables. read more

Not bad, and quality/ freshness are consistent. My only small dissatisfaction is the small portion size. See picture #1 for the size of the takeout bowl (and I have very small hands). read more
