    Very small portion
    Lupita E.

    The quality def went down especially on the portion size. I barely got any fish and it's mostly kale. This is a regular bowl with an egg and I paid about 18$, the cashier also basically threw our change. We went there around 11:50am and did not give us our change properly back . There was only one customer but we're not going to argue about 25cents, just found it odd that the change was basically thrown at us . We will not be coming here again

    Good poke', good portions for reasonable price. The only negative is their staff isn't the most hospitable. Don't expect any smiles or good vibes.

    1. The fish tasted delicious, and they gave a generous amount of the base! I also really like the shoyu sauce! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. There is only indoor seatings! Tables and counters are available! 4. The staff was friendly during the ordering process! The entire process took about 5 mins! 5. Parking lot is huge! Spots are single-line and not compact! Note: There is a special promotion for certain students on Tuesday and Wednesday! Photo: Regular Bowl with Spicy Salmon

    Reliable poke spot that I always enjoy returning to. I especially love the bootea rice since I haven't seen that anywhere else yet. I got salmon, tuna, and scallops which I enjoyed. I also liked that they asked if I wanted a light, medium, or heavy amount of sauce. I didn't think heavy was thatt much sauce as first but realized it was all at the bottom since salad was one of my bases

    Easy parking in plaza + more of a takeout than dine-in location + efficient service. We got the large poke bowl ($20) with protein scoops. They have a hot cheeto topping which was surprisingly good. Good poke.

    I like to come here when I'm nearby. I would say that after exploring the foodie world, I do prefer some poke places more, however Low-key has its perks. I like the unique rice options they have: boo-tea and hula. I always opt for half and half since both have different tastes and the colors are so vibrant! For protein, I get scallop, spicy tuna, and albacore(or octopus). Sauce I get lite Shoyu the Way and lite U've Got Kale. Toppings will be whatever I'm feeling at the moment. As for the atmosphere, it's kind of plain and lacking character in my opinion. I feel kind of stuffy inside so I'm willing to eat there only if whoever I go with wants to sit inside. Other than that, togo is the option for me. I don't recommend drinking the water from the dispenser as I was told it was tap water and it did not taste like the good kind. Overall I would recommend this place if you don't feel like going too far and want your poke crave to be fixed ASAP.

    We got two poke bowls from here which were filled well for the price! The quality was good, no real complaints on the fish, as it wasn't fishy which is a good thing. They have fun toppings to really load up your bowl. The servers were kind and prompt to make the bowls, and the inside of the restaurant is a bit small but we took it home to go to eat. There's a lot of poke places around so not sure if I'd come back but it's definitely good as a first try!

    This is my bowl with 3 protein and spring mix as base. Bowl is half full.
    Bee W.

    Disappointed to the core. Starving but the bowl is not even half full. I asked my bf to get me a bowl with 3 protein, Spring Mix Salmon, shrimp, octopus, Green onions, purple cabbage, crab meat, masago, cucumbers, onions, Blk Sesame seeds, fried garlic, dried seaweed, quail eggs Sauces, Alohot, and the light ginger sauce There was barley spring mix in the bowl, two three pieces of red cabbage, and I wanted quail eggs but they gave me chicken eggs. They put way too much sauce in bowl so my whole food was soggy. I had to add rice to my bowl to get me full, but this is the worst poke bowl I have ever eaten! Poke Tiki gives you a lot more. Their bowl is like 2lbs heavy. This is a major dissatisfaction with Low Key Poke Joint.

    I've been coming here since I was 16. I love this place so much the fish is always fresh. The service is top tier. The restaurant itself has an inviting atmosphere. If you're looking for good poke this is the place to go !

    The Low-Key Poke Joint is located in a busy shopping center in Garden Grove. Luckily there is a large parking lot with plenty of spaces so it's not too difficult to find a slot, but it does get busy as there are many businesses in this shopping center. The food was fine, a little pricey for a small poke bowl with 3 proteins. The sauces were also fine, would return if I find myself in the area.

    i got a regular bowl and it tastes amazing but the fish to rice proportion kinda sucks

    Large bowl

    I ordered 2 bowls and put instructions how I wanted for my orders. They don't follow the instructions, I put sauce on the side because one of the 2 bowls is for night shift working. The staff was noticed at the end so they put the side on the lid that they already put the sauce inside but they gave me extra sauce. I don't want extra sauce i just want sauce on the side for a later use. Imagine the sauce on the veggies until midnight. Do you think it's still good? This is a delivery order via UberEats but staff doesn't want to make a new one for their loyal customer. Very disappointed!!! If I am the one who picks up the order. I won't pay for it. Because they don't follow the instructions so they put a half bowl of rice in my bowl.

    My fav Poke place...Friendly service and the most important thing fresh fish. Very tasty. Inside of poke place is very clean...The ambiance is chill and It's perfect to do homework or even work while you are enjoying your delicious poke. There isnt whole bunch of topping selection...Its minimal but as long as all the items are fresh There is no complaints! Also, there is plenty of parking outside.

    One of the reasons we wanted to visit this restaurant was to try the NOLA Grilled Oyster Combo…read more($69.99). Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent. The dining environment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of television screens so people could keep up with World Cup matches.

    Seafood Cove 2 has been my go-to spot for dim sum for as long as I can remember. I grew up coming…read morehere for family weddings and weekend dim sum, and it's still one of my favorite places to satisfy that craving. The restaurant has definitely evolved over the years. It feels like a younger team is running things now, making the service more efficient, while you'll still recognize some of the longtime employees that have been here for years. It's nice to see the tradition continue without losing what made this place special. Parking can be hectic since it's in a busy plaza, so I highly recommend arriving before 9:30 AM on weekends. The restaurant fills up fast, and the energy is always lively. Seating can be a little close for comfort at times, and you may end up dining right next to another party, but that's all part of the classic dim sum experience. The dining room is spacious and can easily accommodate parties of any size--from a table for one to large family gatherings of 20+. One change I noticed is there are fewer dim sum carts roaming around now. Instead, you can order most items directly from your server, which honestly makes it easier to get exactly what you're craving. The beverage cart still comes around with fresh fruit drinks, coffee, tea, and yes... even beer at 9 in the morning if that's your thing! If you want both dim sum and their lunch menu, plan to arrive around 10:30 AM. Lunch isn't served until 11:00 when the kitchen shifts over, so you can enjoy both in one visit. Our table was filled with all the classics. Such as har gow, siu mai, rice porridge with Chinese donut, and plenty more (definitely ordered more than we could finish). Don't forget to order the almond drink with the puff pastry as soon as you sit down because it takes about 30 minutes to prepare and is absolutely worth the wait. We also tried their newer weekend special, the fried tofu skin with shrimp, which my husband really enjoyed. One last tip: don't forget to check in on Yelp to save on wait time! Great service, authentic dim sum, and flavors that have stayed consistent for years. Seafood Cove 2 never disappoints and will always be my go-to spot whenever I'm craving dim sum.

There's a to-go order screen at the front of the restaurant. I got 1 lb of fresh crawfish with hut special sauce, mild spiciness, and corn. My order was ready pretty fast. The crawfish was so delicious and there was lots of sauce for dipping. They had some really big guys too which is always a plus. I like this spot, so I'll be back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil.

Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait.

It was super crowded when we got there, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. But once we were seated and placed our order, the food came out pretty quickly.

The mango squid salad was also really fresh and had a unique flavor that stood out. Overall, all of the dishes tasted like they were made fresh to order. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the bread. It was fine, but it was really just an ordinary loaf of bread and nothing particularly special compared to the other dishes. There are still so many other dishes I want to try next time, so I'll definitely be coming back!
