    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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'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 !

    Minelie A.

    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.

    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.

    **Pretty filling & big poke.** At about $20 for a regular bowl, you get a lot of value here. They start you off with 3 proteins, instead of the usual 2, making it a substantial meal. The menu offers a good variety of options, and they've made the ordering process straightforward. I even saw someone order the 5-scoop bowl--it was massive! The salad comes with ponzu sauce, which pairs well, though the sides are limited (no mango, for example). They offer complimentary water, but not extras like tea or cucumber-infused water. I'm curious to try the bamboo rice next time. Still exploring the area for my go-to poke spot, but this place is promising. edit: it did kinda hurt my stomach so maybe quality is okay like previous reviews have said.

The chicken itself was super crispy and fresh. Personally, I think the chicken sandwiches could've used just a little bit more seasoning, but overall everything was still really good. What truly made the experience stand out was Danny at the register. He was absolutely amazing and had incredible customer service. Once he found out it was our first time there and that they were close to closing, he went above and beyond and accommodated us with not one, but TWO chicken sandwiches on the house for us to try. That level of kindness and hospitality honestly made our night. We ended up getting an amazing combo with shrimp, chicken, macaroni salad, two Spam musubi, two chicken sandwiches, and two drinks -- all for only $22!!! Such a great value for the amount and quality of food we received. Danny's energy alone made us want to come back. Great customer service goes a long way, and this place definitely left a positive impression on us!

Great Japanese comfort food crafted by caring hands. Food (5/5) - Good portion sizes at a relatively high price that comes with quality.

Ambiance (4/5) - This location is tiny with just about 4 tables inside and no bathroom if i recall, and the parking can be rough battling korean market moms and coffee shop fanatics next door. Probably more focused on to-go/delivery since it can't seat many inside. Regardless, the interior is cute, clean, and provides a rational eating environment for what it is. Check them out!

I can confirm that all of the comments about cheese pulls are 100% based on fact. The curry itself was thinner than I anticipated, but still flavorful. There wasn't a lot of heat. Just umami. So much umami. *And cheese.* The restaurant itself is very small, with four tables total in the whole shop. We only saw two employees and they were working so hard! And they were very friendly and attentive, despite the wave of online orders coming in. And their dessert menu was super cute. The little waffles were adorable before they were voraciously devoured by my toddler. Definitely consider checking this spot out!
