    Such a great addition to the area! It's hard to believe they only opened in June because they've already built quite a following. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the fish. Be prepared for a line--it gets long very quickly, especially during busy hours. After trying the food, though, it's easy to understand why. The staff keeps things moving, and the quality is absolutely worth the wait. Fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, and a great start for a newly opened business. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

    Poke was UNREAL. Hawaiian style poke spot with fresh and very flavorful poke. They have fresh poke from Hawaii shipped to them every other day and each flavor is unique in its own regard. Come earlier in the day because once a certain flavor runs out, they don't restock until the next day. I highly recommend trying the spicy HAWAIIAN style ahi poke. It's a unique umami spicy mayo in their ahi tuna with a special type of seaweed that makes it have such a unique taste. Their purple "Uala" sweet potato mash is very neutral side that compliments the poke well. It was a great palate cleaner with its subtle sweetness and is a must try.

    Twice as nice. Still good fish, still good authentic poke. Lines might be intimidating but things move.

    Shoyu Ahi and Spicy Ahi

    Finally trying Unreal poke in Arcadia. We went on Thursday night around 6:40pm it closes at 8pm so the only flavors left were the standard ahi (shoyu and spicy) which are perfect.

    The wait was not bad at all on a Sunday noon. The reason I gave 2 stars is because my family and I got minor food poisoning from this meal :( It was also really expensive (around $56 for 1 premium ahi large bowl and 1 standard ahi large bowl). Flavor wise, it was not bad but I felt like the flavors weren't strong enough and were super similar to each other since I had to keep alternating flavors to actually taste something. Not worth getting the premium flavors imo. The mac salad and crab salad we got were nothing special, I've definitely had better. Good to try, but will not be back :( I still like Jus Poke in Redondo Beach the most

    Amazing! I'm glad to be able to try this again, now at their new permanent location in Arcadia. We arrived on a Wednesday around dinner time, and there was a small line at 6:30 PM. The fish looked like it was starting to run out, so I'm pretty sure we got the last of a few items. The line moved quickly though, and we ordered and received our food in under 20 minutes. Now for the food. There were a few different items on the menu compared to the last time I visited their pop-up shop, and these are my thoughts: Poke Bomb - I absolutely loved this. It lets you sample a few different flavors, featuring inari topped with some of their special poke. It wasn't salty but was packed with flavor. A must-try if you enjoy inari. (5/5) Poke Bowl - We got a large bowl so we could share it. The portion size was reasonable, but the poke is still unreal. It's one of the few poke spots around that truly reminds us of the poke we had in Hawaii. Not much else to say besides it's delicious. (5/5) Overall, this is definitely a go-to spot if you're craving the real deal. The fish is incredibly fresh, the ingredients are high quality, and the flavors are excellent. Yes, it's a bit pricier than your typical poke spot, but the quality makes it worth the splurge every once in a while. Parking - Small lot. It may be difficult to find parking during busy times since the lot is shared with several other businesses.

    Shoyu ahi and garlic crunchi ahi poke bowl
    Shirley H.

    I enjoyed my poke bowl- particularly the shoyu ahi because it was flavorful and fresh! Minus one star because the garlic crunch ahi tasted slightly less fresh and I suspect gave me mild food poisoning because my stomach was very upset immediately after eating my bowl. I'd give it another try because the shoyu ahi was very good!

    I get why they named themselves unreal poke- because their poke is truly unreal. 100/10. If I could eat here everyday, I totally would. You literally cannot go wrong with anything here / it's fresh, made with soul, and guaranteed good. I've gone here twice within the same month and can proudly recommend the following flavors: - spicy - hot shoyu - garlic and onion Sides: - must order uala mash, it's unlike anything else and it 100% slaps - mac salad also good - their spam musabi is also a classic - you know exactly what you're getting

    shoyu salmon and ginger onion tuna
    Doreen T.

    I've had Unreal Poke before at night markets and festivals, so I'm so glad they finally have a home in Arcadia. It's a very small spot, and the four of us were lucky to snag the table by the window, most customers seem to take their orders to go. I'm especially happy they offer salmon, since most poke places only have tuna. I got a bowl with shoyu salmon and ginger onion tuna, and they really loaded it with extra ginger and onion and it was so delicious! If you can't decide, try the poke bomb, where you pick five different types of fish, which is what my husband got. I think I actually prefer my bowl better, since it's less messy and comes with a side which I chose the seaweed salad. Even though we recently moved away, I'll definitely be back.

    Very very fresh and authentic poke! The line was pretty long but was well worth it. We tried a few different ones: spicy, shoyu and spicy Hawaii limu - all were delicious! The parking lot is pretty small so you might have to park across the street or have someone go down to order while you sit in the car. Might have to be our go-to poke spot in the area!

    Intrigued by unreal poke! There's been so many places opening and popping up all through the SGV. The poke game is stepping it up this year which has been great. I love witnessing the evolution. Poke has been a long time trend but its trajectory is getting better. Unreal Poke is a great example because while there are spots that are chaining from popular areas like Hawaii, Unreal is creating its own force. It's not caught up by toppings, multiple bases, or sauces but showcasing what poke should always showcase-- The fish and the ode to the culture it comes from. We got the shoyu ahi tuna and the spicy salmon. Loved both but the tuna was a perfect savory chunk of a bite! Onion, green onion, and shoyu mixed with a little seaweed salad, crabmeat, mini spoonful scoop of rice all atop some crunchy seaweed I had at home. Mmm. The salmon was also good but in this particular case because of how fresh the ingredients are, the less saucier, the better I say... And trust any of my close friends when I say that I am the sauce queen of most friend groups. So, to say less sauce means that the fish is that good without being to flashy from sauce. The creaminess of the spicy salmon and the crunch from the masago was good but I feel like next time, I want to taste the salmon more than its complimented sauces. A solid poke bowl is one that makes you crave for less sauces and more of just the fish itself and the very few small additions just to really round out one bite to the next. A little crunch, some chew, some extra umami hits (but not too much!), and a quick piece of ginger to freshen the next bite. We also got a two musubis to go. The only thing we wanted to have some more of was their mac salad but they were about finished with it by the time we got there. We at least got the bit that was left with no additional cost which was nice. Already ready to go back.

    Unreal Poke is by far the best poke we have in the SGV! One of the things I miss most about Hawaii is the poke. I'm always on the search for the best poke and honestly we haven't found anything comparable to what we find in Hawaii until now. Welcome Unreal Poke to the SGV!! I am so happy there is something here for us now. They are still currently in the soft opening phase, but increasing operation hours and days. Check their IG for daily updates! I've been twice in the last two months and I look forward to coming back for more. The flavors switch out daily and once they sell out, they sell out, so come early! So far I am impressed by everything we have tried. The best bang for your buck is to order by the lb so we typically order half lb to 1 lb and pair it with rice and nori once we get home. Everything tastes so flavorful and fresh! I haven't tried a poke bowl there yet, but the portion looks huge and they include some amazing sides!

    Regular Bowl ($19.50) - Spicy Tuna & Furikake Oyster Tuna was pretty good
    Christy C.

    So stoked I finally got to try this popular poke place out since I heard a lot of good things about it! They're still in soft opening so they're not open daily and their hours are limited. Hours currently are: - Wed-Sat - 12-7pm - Sun - 12-5pm They don't have a sign up yet on top of their shop yet so it was a little difficult trying to find it. Also, parking is pretty difficult since the lot isn't that big and it's shared with other businesses. However, there is nearby street parking, which I highly recommend. Inside is quite small but there are a few chairs and tables inside. There is also cute Hawaiian merchandise available for purchase! Pricing is a bit pricey but portions are generous! Expect to pay $19.50 for a regular bowl & $24.50 for a large! They also sell poke by lb.! - 1/2 lb - $16 for regular & 18 for premium - 1 lb - $28 for regular & $24 for premium Ordering is easy - choose your bowl size - select your flavors - get your free side * Complimentary toppings available! I was bummed they only had tuna options and not salmon since I'm not a big tuna fan but I was impressed with the tuna! Service was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Asked the staff which were the most popular and she recommended Spicy Ahi & Furikake Oyster Sauce so those were the ones I got. The Spicy Ahi was marinated very well and the sauce was packed with flavor without being too spicy or salty. I was impressed with the quality of the tuna and how generous the portions were! They were literally huge thick pieces of delicious tuna! Definitely enjoyed this flavor! The Furikake Oyster Sauce was a bit too salty for my preference but the sauce was not bad. The quality of the tuna and the portions were very impressive! The rice was very fresh and soft so that was very enjoyable. The crab salad was also very fresh and tasted like it was made from good quality imitation crab. I enjoyed that it wasn't drenched with mayonnaise and it wasn't too salty. Overall, the prices were a little pricey but the quality was definitely there and the portions were very generous so I would definitely recommend and return!

I got lucky to catch them 30 minutes before they closed at 8:00 PM. Pretty clean place with bar stool seating along the left wall. All gender restroom is in the back. Build your own poke bowl. Small (2 scoops), medium (3 scoops), and large (5 scoops) sizes ranging from $16+, $18+, 20+ per bowl, respectively. Protein consists of salmon, tuna, albacore, octopus, scallops, shrimp, tofu, etc. Toppings vary from edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic, and shallots. Base comes in white sushi rice, organic brown rice, salad, or half & half. Got two large poke bowls with salmon and all the toppings. Avocados cost extra. Love the big chunks of fresh salmon! Scoops could be a tad larger. Please note extra toppings will cost extra money. Each bowl comes with a max of 3 sauces... got Dynamite, Spicy Garlic, and Sweet Unagi. They were very flavorful sauces especially when combined together. I would get a large poke bowl with all 3 of the same sauces again. Lady staff members were friendly and nice. Prices was on the higher end compared to other poke places. Nevertheless, tasty, fresh and healthy poke bowl is a win win win in my book. Po'ki Bar delivered. Highly recommend!!

Their topping selection has a good variety, with all your standard poke toppings. I can't complain! The sauce selection is also pretty standard, my usuals being their house shoyu and sesame. A while ago, they had a citrus sauce, but sadly discontinued it. I'm hoping one day they bring it back because it was my favorite! Although the quality of their poke has been consistent through all the years, their prices have gone up significantly compared to other poke places in the area. A small bowl runs you about $18 - $20 now, depending on if you pay for the extra avocado. Their poke is still delicious, but Poki Bar has been out of the rotation for me due to the increase in price compared to the average poke shops nearby.
