Small Poke Bowl (2 Scoops)
Rachel K.

I really like how customizable this poke place is. I got the salmon and the tuna this time which was delicious. I've had the spicy tuna before and I think it can be a little overpowering in the bowl. I love all the options to add in and how imitation crab meat is a topping option.

Been here twice and Ben happy with their poke bowls! Staff is super nice but I want to give a shout out to Arhea! She's always so nice and friendly! Great customer service! Can't wait to be back and overal great ambiance!

Medium poke bowl

Solid poke option but I think it's pretty middle of the road compared to the many other poke options around SD. $14.50 for small with two scoops of protein and $16.50 for a medium with three. I like that for the different sizes they actually have different size bowls compared to other places that have the same size but just more fish. Pretty standard base and topping options. I like how you can include avocado at no additional cost. The flavor of the fish was decent. My partner got the spicy tuna and spicy salmon and unlike other places we're they chop the fish into bigger chunks, they pretty much minced it into a mushy paste which was a little odd. My partner prefers the more standard cubed option. One thing about the bowls is that because they pack it in, it does make it harder to eat. I feel like other places have bowls that have higher edges which makes eating easier.

The poke was good and VERY generous in portions for each size. I split an extra large bowl with my husband and neither of us could finish our portions. The smoothies tasted like a calpico yogurt blended drink, nice and creamy but also quite sweet (think less fresh fruit smoothie and more a fruity yogurt drink). The service was friendly and fast, even though we came close to closing time. There are a few small seating arrangements inside, but not too much space. there are seating areas outside though.

I have been here couple of times. This place has never disappointed. My kid also likes it. Fresh food and tastes great with sauces.

If you sign up with your phone number for the first time, you get a few bucks off your bowl! I previously visited another Poke Co. location in Mission Valley and wanted to try this one out. I had known them for their huge, overflowing bowls. It seems like they had reduced the size of their fish portions, and I was a bit unsatisfied after eating my bowl. They are super generous with rice and toppings, but the balance between fish and everything else was off. Not worth $17 for a small bowl. I do like their OG (orangey garlic) sauce. It is a fine choice for poke, but probably not my favorite.

Medium Poke Bowl (3 Scoops)

Delicious and fresh poke bowl! I normally go to Poke One N Half but decided to try this place out since it had a buy one get one free promo from Facebook. They had more alternative proteins like tofu and eggs. I got a medium poke bowl with salmon and ahi, then all the sides I was allowed to get. It was fantastic and I would definitely eat here again.

This is a hidden gem for poke in the Sorrento Plaza! It's build-your-own-bowl and there are a ton of great options. I love that you can get most premium toppings for free on the first scoop, and I recommend trying half corn chips for your base!

We were really craving poke and have been looking for good spots since moving back down to San Diego. I had heard good things about The Poke Co, so we gave it a chance. The staff was really friendly when we came in, and were very helpful through the process of building our bowls, which were large in portion. Unfortunately, the quality of the food could have been better. The rice was cold and hard (as we saw them struggle to mold it to the bowl when serving it), the tofu had a sour taste to it (despite asking if it was marinated in anything), the fishes were slimy, and the veggies looked dried out... We were hopeful that the prices would equate to the quality but we were left disappointed. We hope that the ingredients will be fresh if we decide to visit again.

Small poke bowl

This was my first time trying this place and it was so tasty. I ordered a small and it satisfied my hunger. I had mixed greens, edamame, Salmon, spicy salmon, sesame dressing, & onion. The spicy salmon is to die for so I'll definitely get it again. The white onions on top with the sesame dressing compliment everything so well for me. Glad I tried this place. This container is also cute!

This was my first time trying this place and I came in with high expectations after doing my…read moreresearch. The restaurant itself looked clean, which was a good first impression. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I placed my order online four hours in advance because I have a long drive back home to Julian and just wanted to pick it up and go. When I arrived, there was no greeting from staff, no clear pickup line, and no acknowledgment of customers waiting. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, only focusing on what was directly in front of them while ignoring everyone else. After standing there for quite a while, I finally had to ask about my order. Instead of it being ready like it should have been, they hadn't even started making it. I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line for something that was ordered hours earlier. What made it worse was when the mistake became obvious, no one apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. The staff acted like it was no big deal and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I don't come into the city often, but when I do I like to try new places. Sadly, this experience was disappointing and the customer service was extremely poor. I would honestly say save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values their customers--especially in this economy. Time is money, and money is time. If a restaurant doesn't respect your time, they're definitely not going to respect your money. As for the food, it was very basic and lacked flavor. They were also very stingy with the sauce, which made the bowl even more dry and underwhelming. Overall, between the poor service, long wait despite ordering hours ahead, lack of accountability from staff, and mediocre food, this place was a big disappointment. I will not be coming back. There are plenty of better places that actually value their customers. Thank you and have a nice day.

Their fish quality was kind of gross last time, and they tend to over sauce everything else. I could not finish my bowl or even take more than 3 bites of my food. I did order the food about an hour before closing, but if the fish is going to decrease in quality THAT much, it is best to close earlier! I've also been many times in the morning and/or mid day and yet, still equally as unimpressed. At what point do you just admit it's not worth giving extra chances to anymore?

The staff will take your order and assign you a table, so do not grab a table without their approval. The seafood all taste fresh. We love the halibut plate with lemon garlic butter.

Tip: we went at 2:30p thinking it is after the lunch rush, but the line was out the door on Sunday. We will stick to 15mins before they open.

I asked her what she wanted and she said, "seafood", so I immediately thought of Blue Water, and we drove right over. We parked at a metered spot nearby & walked in at 5pm. Do note that there is no dedicated parking for Blue Water, so at busy times it may be tricky to find a spot, but we had no trouble today. In the main dining ordering area & on the side patio, there were a few tables that were occupied, but there was no ordering line. All of us wanted shrimp today apparently, so my dad and I both got a shrimp taco with lemon garlic butter & my hungry mom got the shrimp platter also with lemon garlic butter. The platter came with 8 shrimp, jasmine rice, and a lovely, fresh garden salad. The server who took our order and brought it out to us was very helpful & nice. They have a ton of fresh seafood on offer though so if shrimp is not your thing, there will likely be another delightful offering from the sea that will suit your fancy. We sat in the side patio area and it was very pleasant. We enjoyed our experience this evening very much! The tacos were big and had more than 5 shrimp in them, plus cabbage, pico, cheddar cheese & white sauce. One taco was pretty decently sized. If I'd been hungrier, two tacos would've been perfect, but today, I was happy with one taco. Yum! Mom enjoyed her platter. It was beautifully prepared. Blue Water also has a decent soft drink selection and beers and wine, but we all just had their water and it was very refreshing! :) By the time we left at 5:45, a line was forming out the door, so we really came out at a good time. Peace!

I ordered the Modern Caesar ($11.95) and added chicken ($3.95), and it was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant has a bright, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of natural light and a casual, upbeat vibe that makes it a great spot for lunch. It felt clean, comfortable, and inviting, whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go. The salad was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor, with the perfect balance of creamy dressing, parmesan, and crunchy toppings. Adding the chicken made it satisfying without feeling too heavy. It was exactly what I needed and gave me the right amount of fuel to keep going with the rest of my day. I've tried several other menu items here before and have always had great experiences, but this Caesar salad was exactly what I was craving. The service was also excellent. They took our order right away, and a team member was actively checking every order to make sure everything was accurate and running smoothly. It made the whole experience feel efficient and seamless. If you're looking for a fresh, satisfying lunch in a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a great choice.
