    This is my second time here, and I always come back whenever I'm in the area! The poke is really good, fresh, and a great portion. The restaurant is also very clean, and I really appreciate that avocado isn't an extra charge. Definitely one of my go-to spots!

    Delicious fresh Poke with a variety of toppings to choose from. Good customer service is consistent and I appreciate that. I've been meaning to do a review for a while and forget. Parking is generally not too bad they do have quick 15 minute parking off to the side meant for pick ups. The staff is always working hard even when they have a long line, they are always hustling. They do sell boba drinks as well. There is plenty of indoor seats and AC is nice on a hot day. Ambiance is chill and relaxing. Shout out to Johan and Ariadna who always provide good service to our weekly visits sometimes.

    Fast, convenient, and tasty poke spot! Uroko Poke offers customizable poke bowls. I like that they offer a variety of bases (white rice, brown rice, salad, broccoli, tortilla chips), and you can get up to 3 different bases. You can also choose up to 5 sides. The best part is, avocado can be one of them! I always go with the basics, salmon and tuna, but I appreciate that they have 11 different protein options to choose from! My go-to sauce is their Uroko Original which includes ponzu and sesame oil. They have a good amount of different toppings as well! Fish is always pretty good quality, and I like the variety of ingredients they offer. Everything is premade, so you can go through the line pretty quickly! They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating.

    Shrimp & Salmon Poke Bowl

    Stopped in on a random Wednesday for lunch with a coworker and it ended up being a great choice. There was a small line when we walked in, but it moved really fast so we were ordering within a few minutes. That's usually a good sign at a poke spot. I like their build-your-own poke bowl option because you can customize everything. My bowl was around $16. I went with salmon and shrimp over brown rice with broccoli on the bottom, then added a few toppings, spicy mayo, and the Uroko sauce. The fish tastes really fresh and the sauces pull everything together. We ate outside under the umbrella covered tables. I do wish it had been a warmer day, but that's no fault of Uroko. It's located in a plaza, so parking is easy and you don't have to circle around looking for a spot. Overall just a super easy lunch choice when you want something quick, fresh, and filling.

    Placed the order ahead of time for pickup. Parking was difficult as the strip was jam packed full of diners trying to get dinner from Juicy Dumpling Factory. I appreciated the freshness of the bowl and the vibrant flavors it offered. But the 2 scoop protein bowl hardly had any eel or the spicy salmon I chose. The salad also had very disproportionate amounts of dressing. So one side had no seasoning and the other spots were drowning with dressings. My biggest gripe was the chewy and slimy texture of the eel. I was not a fan. It had a similar texture to animal cartilage or gummy bear gone stale. I will definitely skip getting eel as my protein choice for the next visit. Would I be open to returning again? Absolutely! I would probably get my dressings / sauces on side and skip the eel for a better bowl experience. I think it's still a good spot to get poke in the vicinity.

    Their poke bowls are huge! I like the different options for bases and toppings, especially when other places would charge extra for certain ones like crabmeat and avocado. It hit the spot with how hot it's been lately. Parking was also really easy to find. I did also get a taro milk tea, and it was alright though I wouldn't order it again. Overall, I do think it's worth trying and I'd go back.

    Pretty standard poke, there was a limit of toppings though. I got salmon for my bowl and it did taste pretty fresh. Would've ranked higher if they had unlimited toppings :(

    Jenny D.

    The salmon, the octopus, the spicy salmon, the tuna tasted great and all the toppings we got made it so much better. I love the sauce and the spicy mayo. The service was also very quick and easy.

    Uroko is the best poke bowl around the cypress area. I love stopping here to get my fill of high protein deliciousness. They definitely hook it up!

    Yum, I love Uroko Poke! I prefer this location over the Costa Mesa shop. The parking lot is big, so it's easy to find a space. Workers immediately greeted me when I entered the shop. At Uroko Poke, you can order sushi, handrolls, or their poke bowls. I always opt for the poke bowl, and customize it to my liking. I prefer to get my sauce on the side. The workers will answer your questions if you have any or need help ordering. I enjoyed going to this location because the worker hooked it up! She gave me big portions that I had to save my bowl for the next day. Also, Uroko Poke always has fresh ingredients. When I'm taking a bite of the food, it's flavorful and delicious. There's inside and out door seating. The service is friendly and fast. The food is delicious and fresh! I definitely recommend this Uroko Poke location. Whenever I'm craving poke, I'll make a stop here.

    2 scoops - Spicy tuna and tofu
    Vic V.

    I was craving poke and was glad that I stopped by Uroko Cafe. I had the Costa Mesa location bookmarked but didn't realize that there were other locations! I ordered two scoops of spicy tuna and tofu, the Uroko original sauce and 6 toppings. The ingredients were fresh and well-balanced; and I really enjoyed how my bowl came out! I also appreciated how the avocado was not an up-charge as a topping. The server was friendly and we received our bowls promptly. There is also plenty of seating inside to enjoy your customized creation. Will definitely be coming back for another poke bowl!

    Ordered some sushi rolls to go for kids. They said is delicious. The package was good too.

    Food: Good quality at a fair price. A good level of ingredient options as well. Service: Quick and friendly. Ambiance: The place is clean and welcoming with plenty of seating.

When we ate the shrimps, we realized a lot of them stuck to the shell and tasted soft, not the usual crunch that you get in a shrimp. Tasted old and the texture was just off putting. The flavor and the other toppings were good though, but not good enough for me to come back since the shrimp should be the star of the dish. It was also super dead when we walked into the restaurant, but that shouldn't excuse old shrimp. I hope they read this review and take action.

The restaurant set up is nice too, you don't have to worry about crammed tables as they have carts to put your extra plates on so you have plenty of room to eat. Overall the experience was fun and the food was really good, the price point is high but definitely worth it since you get a lot of meats and seafood as well.
