Let's get the negative out of the way first. The value is seriously lacking here with the tiny scoops of fish. A small bowl with 2 tiny scoops of fish is $15+ with tax. The scoops are truly tiny, the size of a toy ice cream scoop. In fact, a regular ice cream scoop would probably yield 4 of their tiny scoops. Yet, I still keep coming back because they do load up with other fresh ingredients. And with prices going up everywhere, the options for a meal under $20 puts this in the running for a decent option. read more

Wicked Poke is kind of hidden in the backside of a plaze, and I kinda wish I would have gone with my old dependable, chipotle, instead. Meh, average poke that hits the spot, but I would expect better out of a beach community. I got the 5 scoops for 10.99 which was a very fair price. Half brown rice, half salads but when I told the guy all sauces that arent mayo based, he didnt seem to comprehend and squirted a little mayo house sauce on it. ugh. The fish itself is pretty good but nothing super special to it. I asked for extra sea weed salad which went on the side and was $2.00. I have never been charged anywhere before for extra seaweed... The last kicker was that their miso soup had nooooo green onions or rofu in it. It was pure broth! I will say the guys working were pretty friendly which helped make up for the overall 'meh' of this place. read more

Always have gotten rice from wicked poke when I forget mine, never again the service I received was awful on Monday July 31st 2023 roughly 1:30 pm today used to be a fan but when you start cutting people short of their food like it comes out of your paycheck I cannot support read more

Wicked Poke - Poor excuse for a rice bowl not even a cup of rice - Poke Near Me - Oceanside, California

1st time trying poke, which is weird since I love sushi...but anyways. A friend recommended this place and decided to check it out. I ordered the large bowl which comes with 5 proteins and choose double spicy tuna, double ahi and salmon. You then continue to pick different topping to add to you bowl most are included with some exceptions. I added avocado which was extra....and a bit deceiving because it looked like it was mashed to a guacamole consistency but after trying to blend it into my bowl when eating was rather just a big chunk of avocado. So that was a bit displeasing. Other than that between the sauces, toppings and fish this was quite a delicious place. A great alternative for a sushi lover who wants quick, fresh and filling fish. read more

The Subway/Chipotle of poke, but now twice the price! This place is pretty good. It's basically a bowl of rice and you choose some little extras that go on top, like tofu or fish. I know I'm spoiled because I'm from Hawaii, so I will not let that interfere with an honest review of poke in Oceanside. Basically, you just ask the employee to stack meats and vegetables and sauces on rice. It tastes pretty good, and it's pretty fresh. It's a little steep to pay $12 or more for a small bowl of rice with a few fixin's on top. Nothing particularly stands out here - as noted - it's basically a Subway style restaurant where you choose your own adventure. 4 stars for convenience, choice, and freshness. 3 stars for overall satisfaction with a fast-food style meal. read more

So this review is strictly for cross contamination. I live near by this location and it's one of my favorite poke spots, until today, I don't have the stomach to come here again. The guy that fixed my plate used gloves to touch all the tongs and sauces to make my bowl, then instead of switching to clean gloves to mix my food, he uses the same gloves that he touched everything to mix my food. I could not eat my food thinking of how dirty those gloves were. He might as well have used his bare hands. After having that happen right in front of me I question what else is happening. What a good way to get people sick. read more

I used to love this place! It's so sad when you have to write a review due to such a bad experience at a place you have enjoyed coming to for years. I came in today to order my usual. I get messy when I eat these bowls so I asked for a regular size bowl but in a large bowl this is never been an issue prior. The lady said yes but there's a $.50 charge for just the bigger bowl. Not bigger portions. I said no it's OK then, I'll just take extra napkins lol. I asked for all white rice and a small sprinkle of the salad on top. She put the rice in a bowl and then proceeded to tell me it was gonna be another $.50 for the spring salad on top. I said I don't want a lot. I just want a small sprinkle. She rudely replied everything has gone up. All prices have gone up. But it was her tone and body language and the way she said it to me. This place was completely nickel and diming me. I always pay cash when I come here and I always tip as well. What I should've done was had her made the complete bowl and walked out and said never mind with the way that she treated me and made her throw all that food away. But instead I told her never mind, I'll take my money somewhere else. And I really mean it guys I won't be coming here again. I just thought I'd let people know the nickel and diming on patrons that are already happy regular customers for somethings so simple as just a bigger bowl and a few leaves of spinach is not how you run a business. I then went to Poki Poki and had a wonderful experience and a damn good bowl without feeling like I'm being hung upside down for change. read more

Was in the area and haven't been to wicked poke in a while but do I miss it. The quality of fish is one of the best I've had at a poke place. Their sauce selection has a wide variety and their prices are very reasonable. I would recommend anyone in the Oceanside area to stop by or if you are going down to SD from Orange County is a great pit stop for a healthy and pleasant meal. read more

10/10. Customer service was on point, following with the quality of the fish and vegetables, cozy ambiance when you walk in the restaurant it shouts poke (keeping up with expectations). Again everything was on par and would seriously recommend giving this place a try if you're in Oceanside and craving some poke. Wicked Experience ;) read more

I have no clue how this place is rated so high. Each scoop of fish is super tiny. You get literally 3 or 4 pieces of fish with each scoop. I've included a few pictures to show the size of a piece of fish as well. Paid $20 for 7 small pieces of fish, 4 scallops and a drink. If you've ever been to a place like poke 1/2 or any decent poke place you'd know these serving sizes are ridiculous especially for $15 for a bowl. read more

Came all the way here.. Got here 20 minutes before they closed... apparently they closed early for no apparent reason...

We were craving poke after some shopping so I looked to Yelp for some ideas. I maybe a self appointed snob on many cuisines but when it comes to fresh seafood of any kind, my local boy from Hawai'i senses are heightened immensely. No - no - no - and never again. Short review but better to bite my tongue. Friendly staff and parking is plentiful. Also, a different self serve soda fountain is a plus. Even though I didn't have soda, oh, fyi, the miso soup is good. Expectation met reality. It has been said, lower your expectations to better deal with reality. Yes, I agree and I do that allot ... Successfully too. I could not adjust my expectation enough to meet the reality here. You get it ... Right??? Remember, it's always relative as it was really busy and people were enjoying themselves in the limited seating area. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This place is clean, staff is friendly, and it's delicious. I had a white rice bowl with albacore, shrimp and salmon. The rice was perfect, the proteins were all clean and delicious. For the price the portions were legit. I will be coming back here and you should to! read more

Wicked Poke - Regular poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Oceanside, California

Ever since I had to start eating gluten free, sushi became very difficult for me to navigate and I haven't eaten much if it since. But man was I happy to come to this place! I messages the owner before I came in and he gave me some tips on what I could eat and how to order. I brought my own gluten free tamari when I arrived for lunch and few days later. You get to pick all your own toppings so it's easy to customize your meal whether it's your personal taste or a food allergy. I had half rice, half salad, shrimp, salmon, and a bunch of yummy toppings. The spicy mayo was gluten free and had the perfect kick of spice. It was such a treat! This place was clean, the food was fresh and the staff was really helpful. It wasn't so crowded that it was hard to find a place to sit but we did eat early. I definitely recommend eating here! read more

This place is wicked good! Huge portions for the price. Service is always friendly and the shops always nice a clean.

My favorite place to have Poke. I usually get two scoops and find thats enough food for lunch. Ingredients are always fresh, I love the sauce options and how they mix it with the fish and toppings. The environment is clean and the employees are helpful and friendly. I believe the owner is even there working from time to time. read more

$20 POKE BOWL. Had a really frustrating experience today. I ordered a regular poke Bowl and asked for the krab instead of fish (since it is cooked). I got charged for the "extra krab" to do this which is so ridiculous because I didn't get any of the raw fish at all. The toppings were also super scarce. Not worth it at all. read more

Delicious poke bowls with fast and friendly service! This is a build your own poke bowl spot. If you've never been to one, just imagine a subway but instead of bread and deli meats, they have rice and poke! Ordered their regular bowl which comes with 2 generous scoops of rice (or salad) and 3 scoops of your protein (fish). You can also add toppings and your sauce. For protein, I got 2 scoops of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna with their house sauce, sesame sauce and spicy mayo. For toppings I got seaweed salad, onions, cucumber, avocado (free here! Otherwise places charge extra) masago, edamame, green onion and furikake shavings on top! For 2 regular bowls with 2 can drinks cost me about $25. A little pricey BUT you get a good amount of food! I'd have to say that my poke bowl was really good!!! Generous portion, fish seemed fresh and rice was on point! The service was great! We were welcomed as soon as we stepped inside, helped right away and answered all our questions with a smile. I'm a fan! read more

Good service, clean restaurant, but the protein sizes are small for the price and needed more flavor.

Awesome poki! Very versatile sauces, add ons , and fresh fish most importantly. The owners take great pride and work hard. My favorite is the musubi!! A little piece of Hawaiian heaven read more

I am a fan. Only $10.99 for a large bowl with plenty of base (rice, chips, salad) and plenty of toppings to choose from. There were 6 or 7 proteins to pick from and with the large bowl you get to pick 5 of them. Choices were for example salmon, scallops, albacore, etc. you can pick toppings like seaweed salad, fried onions, ginger, etc. Very friendly service, they explain everything step by step, and they let you try the sauces if you want to. Plenty of sauces to choose from. Located inn a shopping mall with plenty of parking, right off the 78 freeway, Near toys r us. My bowl was stuffed to the top and delicious. They part of a rewards program too. read more

Their sauce is one of the most flavorful I've seen in the poke business. I love their portion sizes, they're very generous. The servers are very friendly and do their jobs quickly. There are not many places to sit here and it's a bit cramped inside, so I suggest take-out! read more

Wicked Poke is a fairly small poke spot. They have some indoor and outdoor seating areas which were kept clean. The staff was friendly. However, they were a little pushy to try to get us to try/purchase additional items. But, still, very nice. We wanted something small to eat, so we ended up ordering a regular sized bowl for us to share. As a base, we ordered chips. Our bowl came with 3 types of protein, so we got salmon, scallop, and tuna. For the sauce, we had regular spicy mayo and sesame oil. Our toppings were crab meat, avocado, masago, furikake, and tempura. Then it was all topped off with more spicy mayo. The scoops for each of our proteinsand toppings were extremely small. We also ordered a side of seaweed salad which was OK. The food was good. But, for the amount of food that we got, it was pretty expensive. We were a bit disappointed by that. With all the other poke spots around, we don't think we'll be coming back here. But, give them a try if this is the closest place to you and you don't feel like venturing off a little further. read more

Use to love this place. Everyone else is opened up eating inside bathrooms open. Need a water cup? Sure. Not Wicked! Portions got smaller, rude service. Loved the place now it SUCKS!! Grubby's you can eat inside use the restroom large portions. Pike 1/50 get even better. Bye bye wicked. You're a wickedly suck read more

This is THE BEST poke place you'll ever go to. After becoming one of their customers, I've tried other places and I'm always disappointed. Wicked Poke has the best sauce and freshest fish. The Wicked medium sauce is the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. When you add the wasabi sauce, it's the perfect bite! They have 2 sizes, regular and large. I'm 6'1" 240lbs and I have trouble finishing a large. My wife and I will usually split one and it's the perfect amount. If I'm on my own, a regular is the perfect size. I always get a miso soup and if you eat there, be sure to try the soda. Thankfully, they don't carry the regular assortment of sodas. My favorite is the vanilla cream soda or the pineapple. This is the only Poke spot I go to and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone try Wicked Poke (in Oceanside!). read more

This is absolutely the best poke spot I've been to. Poke/poke bowls have quickly risen to relevance and if you are looking for a reliable spot, look no further. My girl and I come to this location regularly and we are never let down. The two of us always share a large and go heavy on the toppings. The owners are delightful and work hard to make the customer's experience clean, healthy, and delicious. This is the place to go if you want an affordable, filling, and fresh bowl of poke. read more

My absolute favorite Poke place to go to considering its located near my gym! I always order a large and they're always generous with serving sizes. Quality is pretty good as well and definitely beats Poke Poke 100%. They offer a rewards program as well so when you accumulate points you can get free drinks, extra protein and more! Customer service is great, the owner is very friendly and hands on with his business, often times you'll see him working and helping out his employees as well so this business is definitely something I will continue supporting. Prices are reasonable where a large 5 Scoop is $10.99 and add one start of as $.50(such as avocado). Aside from that, they're very generous when it comes to giving toppings. Check out these portions, they're massive! read more

Great poke place! I've been coming here very close to when they first opened and the staff and owners have always been very helpful and welcoming. They also have a great selection of sauces that always tastes good no matter what combination of them I get. I'm also excited that they've started selling spam musubis!! They lifted the maximum scoop restriction of the salmon and tuna (yay!) I will say I've unfortunately seen some customers be completely rude and horrible to the staff when they had that policy so hopefully people will stop with all that. Anyways, love the food and the service! If I could give some of my fellow customers a zero or one star rating though, I would. read more

My favorite poke place in the North County SD to date! Decided to try this new poke place while shopping in the area and I'm so glad that I did. This place is located between LA Fitness and Daiso, so it is a little hidden. Customer Service - Walked in and it was not very busy. Although I've been to many poke places before, I told the staff member that this is our first time at Wicked Poke to get a feel for how many scoops of protein/toppings I can choose from. The staff member might've been a manager or even the owner! He was REALLY nice and very informative. He gave us the details of how many toppings and protein we can get and another staff member gave us samples of their sauces to make sure it wasn't too spicy for us. Overall, customer service was awesome. Bowl Size - Another great thing about this place is the bowl size! I know it might not make a difference to some people, but I'm not a fan of getting a small bowl, topped to the brim, and no space to mix my food around. Here, they have big bowls, they give you a lot, and there's still a ton of space to mix your food! Taste - Everything tasted fresh and the sauces were tasty. One highlight for me is that they have octopus! I don't see that too often. read more

Based on customer service, not food. I've been told that this was the place to go for Poke in Oceanside. I was so excited, but was treated poorly by unfriendly customer service the minute I walked in. Now I understand that COVID-19 has put businesses in a bad place- maybe makes things frustrating...not being able to hear due to loud music, whatever the casemay be. I'm a huge advocate of supporting local businesses so I definitely eat local. Though when servers/employees are not friendly, it doesn't make me want to go back or tell anyone I know to go there. I haven't tried the food, but I hope it's worth it. read more

Best Poke in Oceanside and they have free stuff for frequent costumers. The choices for protein and sauce are plenty but limited on veggies, however they have enough toppings to fill out a large bow with no problems. This place is located behind a wall in the corner of the plaza. read more
