I really love this poke place!!! This is the place if you want a hybrid between Hawaiian poke and American poke. Staff is always so nice and attentive! Their poke is fresh and every other ingredients in their bowl/plate is also fresh, you can really taste the freshness of their poke. People don't think fresh is important in poke because of all the sauce they can disguise the fish in BUT, I do and can smell bad fish a mile away! But don't worry, if you come here, you will only need to worry about if you can fit all you want in your plate! I would highly recommend this place and would come here as often as I can when I'm in the area! read more

Solid poke spot!! I had an Avocado Musubi while my friends tried the Tiger Wrap. I really enjoyed my musubi! I liked the addition of the avocado as I think it helped cut the salt of the spam. Great sauce too! A well done musubi! My friends really enjoyed their Tiger Wrap! They said it was super delicious. I'd love to come back and try more items like their Poke Nachos or the Spicy Chili Bowl. I will have to update my review when I do, and I have a feeling my review will go on up 5 stars! read more

Tiger Plate - Avocado Musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great place to get poke! Their portions are huge and the seafood is pretty fresh. Love that they have a few outdoor tables to eat at. Don't forget to check in for a free drink! This includes their delicious Hawaiian canned drinks with so many flavors to chose from. Their spam musubi and shaved ice were delicious as well. read more

Tiger Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We didn't eat there. Although the food looked good, the chairs in the restaurant were not made to accommodate big butts. The restaurant is located in a strip mall that has a number of Asian restaurants. We found a Middle Eastern restaurant nearby with good food and regular-sized chairs. read more

Their poke is super fresh and good portion. I also love the toppings they provide. I typically customize my own plate with salmon as my protein. I recommend trying the hawaiian sun drinks too! read more

Hidden gem. Went in to try their poke and i did have low expectations at first sight,due to how empty it was and the interior could use some tlc but after having the first bite I knew... it was great! Tiger plate has very fresh tasting poke & ingredients. Their sauce selection is good but I wish they had a spicier sauce aside from the siracha they give you. I'll definitely be trying this place again. read more

Tiger Plate - Plate Spicy Shoyu (6oz) - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Tiger Plate - NOT open on Sundays - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been here a few times already. To be honest compared to other poke places, this place is just OK especially when considering price. Service is actually quick, efficient, and helpful! I'm actually more opinionated regarding the food: there aren't as many protein options (shrimp, salmon, and tuna only), the crabmeat is done differently here (but tastes fresh), and there's seaweed salad, and mango for some of the set-options I wish some of the dressings had more seasoning. Ive had the shoyu/spicy shoyu, spicy mayo, and spicy chili dressings. Of the 3, I prefer the spicy chili as it has the most flavor. To be honest, the spicy isn't super spicy (maybe more like level 2-3 max). I also wish they had options for how much sauce (light, medium, heavy). Sometimes I felt like there wasn't enough dressing. Also, they seem to use regular rice versus sushi rice.. Anyhow, I'd say it's worth a try, but it isn't something I'll be craving. Will try it again! read more

Good food! Had a spam musubi, poke nachos, and some hand rolls. It was surprisingly filling. I thought 2 hand rolls wouldn't be enough but it definitely was! Spam musubi is a must though. read more

~3.5/5~ The poke and other offerings were pretty decent here (not super Hawaiian in style but still good) and prices for bowls were pretty fair for portion. There's only 4 options for proteins (tuna, salmon, shrimp, or tofu) but it's decently fresh. We had 2 issues however. First, we ordered two of their tiger pockets and was charged for both and only received one when we opened our to-go container. And second, there are 2 options for crab as a topping on the bowl. You can get either the imitation crab as one of your topping choices for free or pay $2 for premium blue crab. I ordered the blue crab and when I opened my container, I had the imitation crab. It was the same as my boyfriends bowl and he chose the imitation crab topping for free. So basically I paid $2 for nothing. Just a couple of extra expenses that really didn't amount to anything so it was kind of disappointing. Otherwise, a decent option for poke, just make sure you check your to-go order before leaving. read more

It's been hard to find a legitimate poke place around here in and around Irvine. Most places are way too high for poke, $14 and up. But I love Tiger Plate because they can be affordable, cordial, and prepare each order with accuracy. Tiger Plate has now been my go to poke place for a quick healthy bite. I always order the build your own 3 oz with Ahi Tuna and sometimes Salmon. I choose white rice as base, with veggies: cucumber, avocado, edamame, and seaweed salad. I absolutely love how much avocado they use, definitely worth it. I am willing to write this review today because they have the upmost customer service for all the times I've been here so far. Today just pushed me write a positive review. I had ordered my plate in advance for pick up when I take my lunch break from work. read more

I can see why this place gets all the hype! For the price, you get unbeatable BYOB's. FYI, they have a student discount so you can get 10% off if you show your student ID. Check-in to Yelp for a free drink too! FAVE ITEMS: - BYOB for sure! I did the bowl for 3 oz which is $8.50. I got salmon and tuna which were both very fresh. Topped it off with mango, seaweed salad, cucumbers, and more. Got the Ponzu sauce which was light and refreshing. Also added all of their crispy toppings. SERVICE: they're super fast and quality is not affected :) PARKING: in a plaza with plenty of free parking PRICE: SOOOO reasonable. I actually think this is the most reasonable poke spot for price Overall, love this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone. So fresh, good, and priced well :) read more

Tiger Plate - Build your own 3 oz Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This is a good place to satisfy a poke craving.. the quality of the food was good and so was the service. I got the 3 oz poke bowl although I felt like the portion of fish was more (not complaining!). I thought the poke nachos looked tempting so I got them and they did not disappoint! The only thing I didn't like get was that they didn't have water cups unlike everywhere else, but if you check in via Yelp or follow them on Instagram you get a free drink so guess that cancels out. Would eat here again when i'm in the area. read more

Such a cute little place that we stumbled upon after leaving Hashigo next door. We are born and raised in Hawaii so this place really caught our eye and we will definitely have to try it out on our next visit to the area. We did decide to order a bunch of Dole Whips (with condensed milk) as an after dinner treat and we all really enjoyed it. Friendly service, clean establishment and the drinks in their display were really intriguing so I also snagged a couple (kind of pricy, two drinks were $9), but we were given a student discount for the froyos. Can't wait to come back and try the poke bowls! read more

The food here was 10/10. The mayo poke was hand down the best place to get your poke fixed. I try to come here once a week for my poke and my ice cream with honey. The honey ice cream is sooooooooooooooooooooo Amazing!!!! Way better than other locations. The workers were super sweet and kind each and every time I go there. read more

This place was super cute they had great music. The employee was very nice I asked what was good as it was my first time. The food was delicious, I got the 6oz with tuna and salmon and it was amazing! I got a scoop with the fresh crab salad and it's the best I've ever had. I also got an order of the spam masubi and I have to say that that too was the best I've ever had. read more

The attitudes here suck. As soon as I walked in, the girl working here looks at me like I'm bothering her. When I asked for wasabi she said "we're out". How does a place like this not keep enough wasabi on hand??? read more

I was in the area and I mostly eat poke or sashimi when I'm away. I ordered through Uber eats. They did forget my pineapple upside down cake. I wish they made bubble tea and offered cream cheese as an ingredient. This poke nachos were amazing. The helping was plentiful and they didn't shortchange you on protein. They used too much rice on the avocado spam masubi but it was yummy too. If in the area, I'd order her again. read more

I got a Poke Bowl and it was very fresh! No sauce really made the fish quality stand out which is highly appreciated! I would absolutely come back, it's very similar to POKE TIKI , which I've always loved. The bowl was around $17 - for this price I was very happy with everything. I def recommend this. ( I ordered through door dash ) it came within 30 mins and was so yummy! read more

Tiger Plate - Poke 6 oz Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I went here for my first time on Monday 12/10/24 for the salmon hand rolls. They were so delicious and the service was great! Everything tasted really fresh, so I had to go again the next day. I tried to order online through their website but maybe the website was having issues because I was charged twice but I did not receive a confirmation number or email. Once I show up in person to the store, I explain the situation to the two employees, and the way they handled it was really professional and they were really nice about it. They made my order and I left my info so that they could refund me and they did. The food is delicious and their amazing service will keep me going back! Shout out to the two employees that were working after 6pm on 12/11/24 :) read more

Tiger Plate - Create Your Own 6 oz Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been here before and was excited to try something new. This time, I ordered a salmon handroll and poke nachos. The salmon handroll came with salmon, white rice, green onion, spicy mayo, avocado, cucumber, crispy onion, and sesame seed. The nachos had ahi tuna with spicy mayo, chili flakes, furikake, green onion, and tortilla chips. Loved both! The nachos have a kick of spice so it's perfect for those who like their food spicy... I really enjoyed it. read more

Open but never picks up calls. I ordered on doordash and when my dasher had arrived at the place, they have not even started on my order. They also did not care to look at my order. On doordash, there is also no available option for blue crab when clearly there is blue crab. Food 7/10 , I like the poke bowls but they need to start picking up their calls. read more

Very Solid Poke Spot in Costs Mesa! I like how you can pick the size of the bowl and you can add any protein you want. The sides were delicious as well. The Poke Nachos could have used a bit more protein but it was still solid. read more

Tiger Plate is our go-to for poke! The salmon is always fresh, and the portion sizes are great. We usually get poke by the pound, and the quality and flavor are consistently good. We're glad they're open on Sundays again--it's one of our favorite weekend spots! read more

The poke here is so freaking good. From the sauce to the fish quality and the amazing workers... I find this place while looking for a quick bite. The parking lot was packed but there was no line at this place so I tried it out. I'm definitely making this my go to poke spot when I'm in the area. Portions were a good size and I didn't feel heavy after eating it. read more

If you like closer to hawaiian style poke, this is a great choice in the area. Very clean taste, not overly sweet or salty. Very expensive to be honest but understandable in current economy. Be careful of some plates if you have mango allergy. read more

I love their spam musubi! Used to work at the 7Leaves next door and they were always super nice to me

Came here after paddle boarding. Surprisingly they were open for dine in. We were the only ones there so we opted to dine in. A employee came to wipe down all the tabletops which was nice to see. The person taking our orders was nice. The only downside is that the poke is very heavily sauced. All I tasted was sauce. Next time I go, I'll definitely ask if they could go a bit easy on it. read more

We had this for lunch the other day. Bottom line; enjoyed the musubi. The poke was fresh, but quite expensive for the quantity. (See below) Avocado musubi and spam musubi: Highly recommend the musubi! Would definitely come back for the musubi! Preferred it with avocado (but that's preference). Had the perfect amount of teriyaki sauce. Would say that it had a little too much rice. Overall, really delicious! Tiger wrap: Wrapped in fresh tasty seaweed. Good amount of poke. Comes with a delicious spicy mayo. Would get it again. Spicy mayo signature bowl: Poke is fresh, but was quite spicy. I'm not a fan of seaweed salad and found this one to be quite fishy. I like it when you can add fruits and other toppings, which wasn't an option. Unfortunately, not the largest portion for an $18 bowl. Will definitely come back for musubi! read more

Found this poke spot on yelp while in the area and decided to check it out! The poke bowl was nice and light. The sauces are also flavorful too! I was very impressed for my first time.

Tiger Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I'm not sure if I came at a bad time but the quality of the ahi tuna was not very fresh, the texture was a little too chewy and tasted a little off. I ordered the traditional shoyu bowl, the spicy shoyu bowl, and 1 spam musubi. I've tried poke in various places and did not get the same results as I did here. it's a lot of poke and rice for $16 so that is a plus but it is not worth it for the quality. read more

{{ OPEN DURING QUARANTINE }} Can't go to Hawaii during the quarantine? No problem, Tiger plate brings a piece of Hawaii to you! I came here around 3:30pm on a Friday. I decided to build my own bowl. I got a small bowl ($6.99) that comes with 2 scoops of protein, 3 toppings, and unlimited add-ons. I got Romaine lettuce for base, salmon for protein, avocado + masago + seaweed salad for toppings, and sweet and spicy Yuzu for dressing. Since they didn't charge extra for avocado, I thought I'd only get a few pieces in the bowl. Oh I was so wrong!! I got half of an avocado!!! Jackpot! And it doesn't end there. Right now, you get a FREE DRINK with your order, plus 10% off of your bill!!! I also got the avocado spam masubi. It was so good! If I live closer I would come here everyday! read more

Cute poke spot! I ordered and ate my meal inside the space. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered a small bowl with 3 oz. of protein. I checked into Yelp for a free drink and got the green tea lychee, which was pretty good! For food, I ordered white rice as my base, tuna and salmon, added blue crab as an extra (I think it was an additional $3), edamame, seaweed salad, cucumber, pickled ginger, and the house sauce on top with spicy mayo on the side. It was delicious, but I wouldn't recommend the blue crab. It just tasted bland. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I would come back here! read more

Tiger Plate - Poke 3 oz Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Portion was pretty small and it was a little pricey. Luckily there was Blue Bowl and 7 Leaves in the plaza to fulfill the rest of my hunger. On the bright side, you get free canned soda when you check in! Felt like the fish didn't have as much flavor. The seaweed salad was the most flavorful thing in the plate. I'm no poke expert, but I'd love for it to have a little more taste and I feel like some other poke places have that. read more

Parking can be limited depending on what time and what day you go. There's always valet available as well. I went in a Sunday around 2pm both parking and store was relaxed. I was absolutely craving for misubi so I ordered spam avocado. The customer service was thoughtful; at check out I was asked if I needed a bag and spoons w/o extra charge. And Look!! For 3.50 my misubi had so much avocado!!! Love it! Although I would say a little more favor is needed since the misubi was mildly bland. Otherwise I am excited to try their poke selections! So you bet I'll be back! read more
