Shrimp & Salmon Poke Bowl
Tiarra J.

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.

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 :(

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

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.

Located near my hotel which was very convenient. Ordered a sushi platter. You can customize what sushi rolls you want. I ordered it online and glad they had the order ready. A family member stated this was his favorite place for poke. Hopefully I can try it the next time I'm in town. Workers were very friendly and the place had many seats inside and outside the restaurant. Quick service too!

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!

Terry M.

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.

3 scoops of protein (2 tuna 1 salmon) with white rice and spicy mayo sauce
Angie P.

been to the Costa Mesa location and now this one, always fresh poke and amazing customer service. I did notice this location has eel/unagi, I didn't notice that at Costa Mesa $17 for 3 scoops. avocado and crab meat are free. they asked if I wanted more sauce with my bowl, next time I'll put more outdoor seating and lots of parking

Poke bowl with brown rice and salmon, tuna, and albacore.
Garvey S.

This place is one of the best poke places I've ever been to! They really do have everything, from great portions, fair pricing, friendly workers, fresh fish, comfortable indoor OR outdoor seating, and abundant parking. I got the bowl with brown rice and 3 scoops of fish. Their scoops are very friendly and fair, which is something I pay attention to in places like this. What blew me away was that they offer crab meat, mango, or pineapple as toppings with NO extra cost! In a world where so many places charge you extra for those, this is probably the biggest reason why I'd love to come back and support Uroko Poke.

There's a to-go order screen at the front of the restaurant. I got 1 lb of fresh crawfish with hut special sauce, mild spiciness, and corn. My order was ready pretty fast. The crawfish was so delicious and there was lots of sauce for dipping. They had some really big guys too which is always a plus. I like this spot, so I'll be back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil.

Unlike some places where I leave feeling bloated, I don't get that way here. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, which is harder to find than you'd think. A lot of seafood places tend to overcook shrimp, making it rubbery or soggy, but Fire Crab absolutely nailed it. And the garlic fries? Insane. They definitely do not hold back on the garlic, which I loved. The garlic noodles were also incredibly buttery, flavorful, and downright addictive. What really made our experience stand out was the service. We came with a large group, and the owner was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. Great food, amazing service, and consistently delicious flavors.

The seafood tasted really fresh overall, and the sauce was flavorful, and packed with seasoning. It was a little on the thin side since I like it thick and it couldve used a lot more garlic. We got crawfish, shrimp, and oysters. The crawfish were decently sized -- a few bigger pieces mixed in, but mostly medium-sized. Still, they tasted fresh and the flavor was really good The Kumomato oysters were just okay. I've definitely had fresher, colder oysters elsewhere, but honestly, I don't come to a shrimp and crawfish boil spot expecting right outta the water oyster bar quality. Overall, Fire Crab hits the craving well. Solid 4 stars all around! Service had great attitide!

Quality HOT POT over here!…read more Place is a little hard to spot but be sure to lookout for the flagship name "Raising Claw". My bro and I opted out on the 55$ premium AYCE menu. The establishment really focuses on quality and representation. The first round order took about ten minutes to come out after the soup broth was brought out. Second round order was very consistent as the quality of marbled meats came out as identical as the first batch. The tri tip and Australia rib eye was very savory. All beef options were all excellent. Chuck roll is a little too chewy for my liking as opted out on second and third order. Green tea ice cream matcha is a good meal ender.

Our server Hayden was also very knowledgeable on all the cuts and attentive to our needs. He was switching out plates for us and bringing in new foods in the set menu as we ate. 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. Personally I'd place this location better than mokkoji or Shabuya :).
