Low-Key Pokey Joint is easily the best poke spot I have found. I have tried many different places, and nothing compares in terms of freshness, consistency, and overall quality. They are generous with the portions so you get some bang for your buck here. The ingredients are consistently fresh, and the variety of sauces is great. Each one adds something distinct, and the staff is always ready with recommendations when I want to try new combos. Every bowl feels thoughtfully made rather than rushed. The staff is always top notch as well. They are friendly, and quick while being accurate. If you are looking for a reliable, high quality poke spot that delivers both flavor and value, this is it. read more

The Low-Key Poke Joint - Regular Poke bowl & their current special tea. Their sauces are SPICY, I'm so impressed. The flavors are on point here. - Poke Near Me - Riverside, California

Poke bowl was fresh and amazing! We recently moved here and this is our second time coming here! :D Less stars because the male server has a rude attitude (we've been here before, so this was my second observation ). Next, they close 30 minutes before closing time- their body language, ie. Banging bowls down, will be felt if you come in around 7-3:30pm even if it's simply a to go order (this was only our second time here but I think it is important to note). I've previously worked in foods businesses too and I understand the excitement of going home after a long day, but never do I treat customers like they are a burden! That's whack. We enjoyed the quality of food, but the ambience is unfortunately ruined by the servers :( read more

My favorite poke spot and ive tried so many. Their fish is high quality and tastes fresh. Their salmon belly melts in your mouth!

Craving Poke and I came across this spot. Service was quick. It's a hidden spot but it seems to still have their customers. The Poke was really good and fresh. Definitely recommend the regular 3 scoops as it is pretty filling. I got the spicy salmon, spicy crab, and shrimp. Theres a lot of seating if you dine in. I'll be coming back soon. read more

The best Poke spot in Riverside. What sets them apart has to be how great the staff is and how fresh the food is. I really appreciate how friendly and welcoming the staff is. They are very helpful and always offer us samples of their items so we can decide what to order. The fish always tastes fresh and never looks grey. My go to is salmon or salmon belly but their tuna is great as well. I always order the regular scoop which is loaded up. I'm usually always able to have some left over for later as well. They have a bunch of sauces and toppings to choose from including masago,corn, crabmeat, seaweed salad and even hot Cheetos. I believe they also offer sushi burritos which i have not tried but seems like a very unique and interesting item you don't see in many spots. I prefer takeout but their seating space is a decent size and pretty spacious. I really recommend checking them out. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Low-Key Poke Joint is the poke bowl version of chipotle, serving up customizable bowls in a casual setting -- for slightly higher prices than you'd expect from a fast-food place. The Background: As the name denotes, this restaurant serves poke (pronounced po-kay), a Hawaiian dish of raw fish that's been cut into cubes and marinated (usually with soy sauce, sesame, and seaweed). While poke is absolutely delicious in Hawaii, here on the mainland (continental USA) it's often drenched in overpowering sauces to the point where you can barely call it poke. Fortunately, that's not the case at Low-Key Poke Joint -- the seafood is fresh and subtly seasoned and marinated. The Menu: Here you choose from one of two sizes: regular and large. The former gets you 3 scoops of protein while the latter gets your 5 scoops. Low-Key has all the classic proteins, from salmon and tuna to shrimp and octopus. For vegetarians, there is tofu and avocado. The proteins are served on one of six bases: spring mix, kale mix, Jasmine rice, Hula rice (rice blended with purple cabbage and coconut), Bootea rice (bamboo with green tea rice), or half and half. Then you add in your desired sauce, sides, and toppings (of which there are many to choose from for each). The Food: I ordered a regular bowl with 1 scoop of tuna and 2 scoops of scallops on top of Hula rice. I got it with the Truffle Shuffle sauce; green onions, crab meat, seaweed salad, and ginger for the sides; and furikake for the topping. Everything tasted fresh with no overpowering sauces. While scallops and tuna weren't the best I've ever had, they were tasty enough for me to be pleased with the quality. And I was shocked at how much I loved the Hula rice. The regular size (3 scoops of protein) was enough to keep me satisfied, though I wouldn't say it's a generous portion -- more like "just right." The Setting: I can't comment on the sit-down experience, as I ordered to-go, but the inside was clean and organized. I wouldn't necessarily come here with a big party (it's a medium-sized fast-food joint after all), but you should be able to find room for a part of 6 or smaller, though 2-4 would be ideal. The Service: The staff was fast, friendly, and polite. Top notch! The Price: Here's where I have to knock off a star from my rating. For a regular bowl and a drink, plus tax, you'll be paying about $20 for a meal. For one person. At a fast food place. Wow. Sure, it's raw seafood, not manufactured burgers, but paying that much for fast food and not being completely stuffed is a downer. And don't get me started with the large bowl, which is basically $17 by itself. Ouch. The Conclusion: Overall, Low-Key Poke Joint knows how to make poke the right way. Just don't expect to get a boatload of fast food for the higher prices you'll be paying. read more

Was craving poke after a flight into Ontario and stopped here on the way home! Situated in a small plaza complex, parking wasn't an issue. The entrance door leads you to the line to order your poke bowl. Regular bowls having 3 scoops of protein and large bowls having 5 scoops of protein was such a delightful surprise considering typical places have large bowls containing at most 3 scoops of protein. Also solid for the price - about ~16 for a regular bowl. There are 3 different types of rice and I opted for the hula rice which had a savory coconut flavor. I was also excited to see salmon belly as a protein option, which I feel like you don't see often. I opted for a regular with hula rice and scoops of salmon, salmon belly, and spicy tuna. The sauce list was a bit overwhelming (lol) so I asked for the most popular combination. I wish there were more options for sides but altogether the bowl was packed, filling, and delicious! read more

Love this poki joint! I have been coming here for years! Got dinner the other night & they did not disappoint! Tried the boo-tea rice this time & it was delicious! The place was packed on a Sunday night & everything was fresh & didn't have to wait. The only thing I was disappointed about was they didn't have coke in stock. lol. Enjoy! Sorry I forgot pics!! read more

Stopped by Lowkey Poke Joint on a Wednesday at 12:30 PM and had no trouble finding parking in the free lot. I was greeted by the friendly staff upon arrival. I sampled the rice options and especially loved the Bootea--bamboo rice infused with green tea, which was flavorful and unique. I ended up doing a mix of Bootea and kale, which they offered with a light vinaigrette. I ordered a large poke bowl with five scoops, opting for salmon. The fish was fresh and delicious, and I appreciated being able to sample the sauces before deciding. Total was $19.56, not including tip. The space has a laid-back, casual vibe with plenty of seating. read more

Best poke place in Riverside I don't care what anyone says. I've been going here since 3 years ago (before they even accepted Apple Pay). I love it, everyone in my family loves it too! It's definitely more on the expensive side but it's worth it, and the service is always great! read more

This place is awesome. Miss the island vibes and happened to be driving through the area, hungry. Saw the photos on Yelp; quick peek at the reviews told us everything we need to know- it's good. Staff are patient and welcoming. Such nice mellow music inside, think Mac Ayres. And the food... fresh, clean and cold fish. Heavy-handed, flavorful rice and simple topping options, cool sauce options. Go. And thank me after. Mahalo read more

The food was good. It's has 3 different options of rice. The protein was good, looked fresh! The sauces are good, but they are a little stingy with the sauces! You only get 2 sauces in your bowl the toppings were OKAY options. For our first time there, it was good. The service was OK! The guys that helped us looked like he didn't want to be there anymore. read more

Absolutely unacceptable service on 12/22 around 6:45 PM. Devon was aggressively tossing our bowls on the counter and slamming metal bowls into the dishwasher bin, creating a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. His tone while taking our order was harsh, dismissive, and outright rude. Ordering four poke bowls felt stressful and unpleasant due to his obvious negative attitude. I even pointed out how distracting his energy was. Meanwhile, the other employee, Joshua--who mentioned he was new--was polite and professional. I felt bad for him having to work alongside such behavior. I've been a loyal customer for years because the food is consistently good, but this experience completely ruined it. Customer service , and this level of hostility should never be directed at paying customers. Management needs to seriously address this behavior. With so many other poke spots offering both good food and respectful service, I'm doubtful I'll return after this experience. read more

I visited lowkey poke at this location because I always go to the GG one so I was curious if quality is the same. Upon entering, the server was soooo nice! I didn't get her name but if you were working 05/07 around 2-3PM, u need a raise! I got regular bowl with 3 salmons and it was delicious! The portion was really really good and enough to feed 2 people. Restaurant was clean and fish was really fresh! I would definitely come back again read more

OK so I really wanted to love this place but I don't think I'll be coming back. I had the regular bowl (there is no smaller size) so this was a bit too much rice for me. I actually ordered extra crab meat which of course I would pay for and that was a dollar but the avocado was extra so they charge $1.50 for that. Almost 5 dollars for tea which I thought was crazy but I got that too. I had tuna and shrimp. They weigh it out to make sure you get an exact serving and nothing more. A couple pieces of the tuna had a little bit of a fishy smell/taste to it but others did not. I ate the others. Well tried to. Half of the good ones had a lot of connective tissue in them so they are inedible and I had to spit those out. The corn tasted a little weird too. Not sure what that was about... just disappointed. The first time I came here was a couple years ago and food was pretty decent. But $24 for poke and tea is just expensive. It's set up like it's covid still and not really welcoming for many to sit down. Only few tables available. The bathroom was dirty and run down.. it's giving gas station vibes. For the prices he's charging and for not having the restaurant floor fully open, I would think the place would look much nicer than that. (This review has been sitting in my drafts for quite a while so I'm not sure how the place is now but hopefully it's a lot better!) read more

Wow-I was looking for a lunch spot while in the area and there were a few people waiting outside at opening but after a few minutes , there was at least 12-15 people behind me. After getting my food, I can see why-it is delicious! Love the options and service!! I would recommend opening at 1130 though for sure! :) read more

Here's a professional and honest review you can use: The worker with red/burgundy hair and black piercings in her mouth came across as rushed and a bit impatient while I was trying to make my choices. It felt like she wanted me to hurry, which made the experience uncomfortable. I also had an issue with the avocado -- she picked one that was clearly not fresh and was about to put it on my bowl until I pointed it out. She responded by saying she'd use another one if I just told her, but I don't think I should have to ask for basic quality. If the food doesn't look good, it shouldn't be served in the first place. Attention to detail and a more relaxed attitude would really improve the service. read more

I decided to give Low-Key Poke a shot because it is close to my office. Unfortunately I just wasn't impressed. The poke bowl was just okay. They only allow you to choose two sauces. Every other poke place I have been to allows you to pick as many sauces as you want. For $19.00 I expected much more. I will not be going back again. read more

3rd time coming here. First time was good. Second time there were flies big chillin' on the tuna..I was grossed out but whatever, girls gotta eat. 3rd time...flies were all over the food again. As if fish isn't already a delicate food, add flies and the eggs they lay... naaaaaahhh. The employee preparing my food was like " yeah, meh, we know, no biggie" while I'm climbing over the counter trying to scare the flies . They need to fix the fly issue ASAP. read more

Was an ok experience today. Sushi was fresh. Ingredients good but wish they had more variety for the toppings Taste was good and the sauces good. Service was ok. I found a piece of plastic in my bowl. Brought it to the counter The employee didn't know why I was bringing her the plastic. Than she took it from me and threw it out Hope they remember to do a better job inspecting the food after they prepare it to remove any ingredient bag pieces read more

i've never had an experience like the one i've had tonight! i wanted poke so bad!!!!!!! but usually they get all 5 stars but the girl that served me tonight (dark hair, piercings, about 5'3) dropped my raw fish on counter and placed it back in my bowl. cross contaminating rushing the other workers who are taking the time whether or they are closing! mixing w her hands! using her hands to scoop my extra ingredients of course with gloves but touching multiple sides. when it came to my dry toppings she scooped them what fell off the top of a furikake lid onto my bowl w a spoon! that's not even the END! i make it to my car to check out my food and it's her HAIR in my seafood!!! SMH since i didn't leave right away i walked it back inside and didn't take an images when returning to her a refund she pulls the hair out acting like it's nothing and she'll make another bowl! Amazing Poke in Corona is a better choice ! CLEAN choice! the manager assisted and gave my refund but it takes a business day to get back. SO DISAPPOINTING! read more
