    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

Medium Poke Bowl w/ Shoyu Ahi Tuna & Spicy Salmon - Unfortunately, this was a complete miss for me. I'm sorry, but it just wasn't what I was used to getting here for last 3 years in San Diego. Maybe it was an off day or because they were super busy, but the Shoyu Ahi Tuna didn't really taste like anything. There was barely any shoyu flavor, and it honestly tasted more like salted ahi. The texture of the tuna was also off. When I tried picking it up with my chopsticks, it would literally tear apart. It felt very mushy and lacked flavor. The Spicy Salmon was okay, but it had this weird aftertaste that I couldn't quite describe. On the bright side, I really liked that they sprinkled furikake on top, and the fish portions were pretty generous with big pieces. Fish Tacos - Pretty standard overall. At $6 per taco, they're definitely on the pricier side, and I was wishing there was a little more fish. That said, the tacos had good flavor and were seasoned really well. The salsa also complemented them nicely. Overall, the new location is a huge upgrade in terms of the space and convenience, but unfortunately the poke itself just wasn't hitting for me this time.

Two things: First, the menu presents several dishes, but many of them are different combinations chosen from a limited number of ingredients, so not really as extensive as it would seem at first glance; second, service was AWOL. We had to leave the table more than once to find our server. The neglect made it difficult to enjoy the meal. So, it's a lovely place with nice fresh ingredients and delicious dishes that needs serious work in training and supervising the service staff.

My chicken was severely overcooked and dry. The rosemary potatoes were undercooked, and I could not taste or even smell rosemary. The sauce covering everything was greasy and lacked flavor--almost like a watered-down birria sauce. I could continue describing the other dishes, but every member of my family--my wife, son, and daughter--had something negative to say about their meal. The service was also mediocre and inconsistent. Having worked as a server for many years, I am generally very patient and understand how difficult the job can be. However, we still had plenty of dip left from our appetizer, and instead of offering us more chips or bread, our waiter simply removed it. My wife also still had food on her plate when the waiter decided she was finished and tried to take it away. I had to stop her and explain that she was still eating. The highlights were the house-branded beer and the ice cream. Based on the photos and reviews I had seen beforehand, it was difficult to believe that the food we were served came from the same kitchen or head chef. The restaurant has an incredible atmosphere and so much potential, but the quality of the food and service fell far below what the setting led us to expect.
