    Spicy salmon and tuna &  taro chips
    Raina P.

    I love a good poke bowl, and I eat it pretty often. SweetFin in Studio City is definitely a solid option -- the fish tastes fresh, the toppings are great, and I'm obsessed with their taro chips (honestly my favorite part, I've even come in just to buy a bag). Overall, the food itself is good. However, my experience with the service has been hit-or-miss. On my last visit, the person taking orders wasn't very warm and directed me to the kiosk even though he wasn't busy -- which is fine, but I'm someone who prefers ordering with a person. A couple came in right after me and he took their order immediately with a completely different energy. Not rude, just not welcoming. When my bowl was made, the sauce was extremely light, and asking for extra felt like pulling teeth. One of the other staff members stepped in and helped, but it still left me feeling like I was inconveniencing them. My other hesitation is the price-to-portion ratio. The bowl is tasty, but for what ends up being just under $30 after adding taro chips and extras, I often feel like I'm getting more rice and toppings than actual fish. Because of that, I sometimes choose other poke spots that give a bit more value. That said, I do live nearby and I will be back -- the freshness and toppings are dependable, and poke is one of my go-to meals as a chef who's always on the move. I just wish the portion sizes, pricing, and consistency in customer service matched the quality of the food.

    I specifically ordered it without onions, but my order arrived full of onions. I have an onion allergy, so I can't eat this. A $2 Uber credit is not an acceptable resolution. I specifically ordered my food without onions because I have an onion allergy. The meal I received was covered in onions and is unsafe for me to eat.

    Clean environment, fresh ingredients and decent price point, this location hits 2 of 3. Sweetfin prices are usually a bit higher than most but always satisfies. I like the extensive amount of toppings that are available. I create my own flavor fresh masterpiece when I visit, with a few combination I experimented with that I enjoy. The bowl was made within minutes after my order. Tasty as usual.

    This was the amount of wasabi given and the soy said was even less!

    I really wanted to like this place, but the experience at Sweet Finn and was honestly uncomfortable from the moment I walked in. The staff came off super unwelcoming and immediately rushed me to order, even though it was my first time and I was just trying to look at the menu. What made it worse was the attitude--if you're not ready to buy something right away (or decide not to get anything), you can definitely feel the shift. It felt more like pressure than hospitality, which is the opposite of what you expect walking into a dessert spot. On top of that, no one was helpful in explaining anything or making recommendations. For a place that charges premium prices, you'd think the service and overall experience would match--but it really doesn't. The quality just didn't justify the cost. Overall, between the rushed service, lack of friendliness, and high prices for what you get, I wouldn't go back. The ambiance is like a fast food restaurant.

    I honestly keep forgetting not to come here anymore. I'm not sure exactly what it is but this location smells horrible every time I've been there. and it doesn't appear that clean either which is concerning for any food establishment let alone a poke place. Today I got the mango bowl with a very small portion of mangos over a small portion of cauliflower rice and kelp noodle salad. The salad was good and the bowl overall was OK but for the price ($16.50), it didn't seem worth they compared to local poke places (like 8oz Poke my fave) where for $20 you get way more fish and way more toppings. I've ordered take out a few times and every time I walk in the gross unclean smell hits me! I'm writing this review mostly so that if I look at Yelp, I also remember that I'm not the biggest fan!

    I love me some premium, fresh poke bowls. :) The forbidden/black rice and bamboo rice are my bases of choice. I find the bamboo rice really soaks in all of the sauces and toppings so well. For protein, I am open to salmon, tuna, albacore or sweet potato. Portions seem to be generous. There's a good of unusual ingredients like pepitas, mango and jicama, which I love about Sweetfin. Yes, prices are a bit higher and overall portions are smaller, but the taste is great and the assortment is appreciated. Casual ambiance, great place for a grab and go.

    Poke cravings satisfied. While running errands all morning I ended up at this plaza and what do I see ? Sweetfin ....!!!!! I have tried their other locations before but first time at this one. Fresh and delicious bowls. You can build your own by choosing the base, the protein and the toppings. A bit pricey compared to the portion size but this is the new norm in LA. Lots of parking, good customer service.

    Large bowl

    I've ordered from another sweet fin location and forgot that I already had a bad experience and unfortunately ordered from another. The "large" bowl, which is an extra $5, makes this spicy tuna bowl $21. I attached the picture of the bowl, which you can see is only about 70% full I'd say. For that price, I'd expect it filled to the top. Not sure why sweet fin skimps at their prices. I'll stick to the 8oz poke nearby, which for the same price gives a much larger portion that easily feeds 2 people.

    See the photos for instagram vs. reality... talk about false advertising As far as thawed out fish goes, it's good. But... just don't expect your food to look like the photos.

    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 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.

    Amazing spicy ahi! Customer service is the best here…read more I got a small bowl with spicy ahi and rice. I ordered a side of avocado and that was roughly ~$16 which is a bit on the pricier side of poke but it definitely was filling. However the quality is amazing. Highly recommend trying this place if you're nearby!
