    Double salmon with brown rice
    Carmen D.

    My go-to poke spot. Location has plenty of parking and is fairly easy to get to. What I love is the consistency in flavor every time we visit. The poke tastes fresh and love the add-ons you can include in your bowl. Service is typically quick.

    Small double scoop salmon, half brown rice and half spring mix.

    I believe Poke Bar is now Wow Poke, might've changed ownership/management. However I think everything still tastes the same, fresh, and great quality ingredients. When you first start, you grab a menu paper and fill out what you want in your order which I like. You mark what all the ingredients you want in your bowl which is super convenient! I ordered the small bowl with salmon for my protein it comes with two scoops, half brown rice, and half salad. They are very generous with the portions! Service was great, everyone was very nice and helpful. They make your bowl to order! Ambiance is nice, lots of indoor seating and also outdoor seating as well!

    It was my first time back since they rebranded from Poke Bar to Wow Poke, and I was curious to see if anything had changed. Happy to say the freshness is still on point. The fish tastes clean and buttery, and everything behind the counter looks vibrant and well-prepped. Price-wise, it seems to have stayed about the same, though the portions felt slightly smaller than what I remember from before. That said, the quality definitely hasn't dipped. I especially love the addition of multiple new sauces -- it adds more ways to customize your bowl and really elevate the flavor profile. The combinations hit all the right notes, from savory to spicy to a little sweet if that's your vibe. Service is quick and efficient, making it an easy go-to when you want something fresh without a long wait. Overall, still a solid poke spot that delivers on flavor and quality.

    Wow Poké! Stopped by Wow Poké a little before noon and had a great experience. When you walk in, you have two ordering options: you can grab a paper sheet, write down exactly what you want, and hand it to them, or order Subway-style while they build your bowl in front of you. Super easy and efficient. The restaurant was very clean and organized. It was empty when I arrived, but within minutes more people started coming in, so I can tell this place fills up quickly around lunch. Portion options are clear: Small: 2 proteins Medium: 3 proteins Large: 4 proteins I ordered the medium bowl with salmon, shrimp, and spicy tuna. My base was salad and brown rice, topped with seaweed salad, crab, masago, cucumber, avocado, seaweed flakes, and sauce. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from -- I usually go with ponzu, but I decided to try their house-made sauce and I'm really glad I did. It was delicious and tied everything together perfectly. I also grabbed a coconut water. Total came out to about $20, which felt fair for the quality and portions. Service was fast, I was in and out in under 10 minutes. This spot feels more like a grab-and-go place than somewhere you'd linger, though there is seating if you want to eat there. On a less busy day, it would be nice to sit and enjoy your bowl. Overall, fresh ingredients, quick service, and a solid lunch option if you're in the Cerritos area. I'd definitely come back.

    Great poke that's fresh with generous portions and good variety of toppings. Seating available inside/outside and written order form required. I've been coming here for a few years and definitely one of my favorites in the area. I usually order 2 protein (salmon/spicy tuna), salad/brown rice, with several toppings including seaweed salad, ginger, edamame, cucumber, onions, and sauces. Good service and usually take order to go!

    Great poke with great selections. Fresh poke and salad greens . They even have vegan options. Freshly made to order. Service is quick. Clean areas to fine in. This used to be called poke Bar.

    Friends food

    I wanted to bring up an issue I had with one of your staff members today. I asked for seaweed that was forgotten, politely and the response was rude. The staff member repeated 'I put seaweed in there' multiple times and asked for extra $1. Mind you he shook his head in a petty manner while saying it. A coworker later corrected the mistake and gave it to me for free. As a regular customer, I'd appreciate more understanding and better customer service in the future." its okay to forget and be wrong sometimes and I wouldn't choose to be emotional over a forgotten order

    Hard to speak over the loud music, maybe that's why there's an optional form to fill out. Two workers were smiling and smirking with each other. Did I say something funny? It was a mediocre portion. Think it depends on the worker that day. Needs more sauce. Overall, not the best poke spot.

    My shrimp bowl was good and filling. Would purchase again.

    Had a taste for something healthy and fresh so we tried out Wow Poke. The bowl items looked fresh and well stocked but the ordering process was not ideal. The servers were talking to each other and not very helpful. The ordering sheet was a little overwhelming so I was hoping they would offer some assistance but no. I asked a few questions and ordered. They seemed a little slow but the food was good. We ordered 3 bowls and was happy with the taste. The place was newly updated with bright colors and signage. However, there were so many handwritten notes on the doors and walls about what you could or could not do. Don't touch this. Don't wear this inside, etc. Not very welcoming in my opinion. Food alone was a 4 but service was a 3.

    Conflicted writing this review as Poke Bar Cerritos has long been my favorite local pick for poke. What I really enjoyed was their customizable selection of seafood, veggies, and sauces, allowing you to have a flavor bomb of a rice bowl. I usually get a large bowl with salmon and tuna with fire ponzu and all of the sides (crab, corn, jalapeno, cucumber, fried garlic, fried onions) I could fit in the bowl. Two issues cause me to downgrade my review to 3 stars: First, I feel that the fish freshness has been inconsistent. Second, they've kind of changed the order process where you choose what you want by paper. They're pretty consistent with getting everything you ask for on your order, but I liked being able to order it by pointing and choosing what I wanted. It's a small difference, but it made my experience better. I still feel that Poke Bar a decent option for poke bowls in the area and I still like the customizability of flavors in their rice bowls; however, I just expect more from their freshness if it's a place that I'd enthusiastically recommend.

    Large poke bowl

    This poke spot stands out for its quality and presentation. The selection of fish is excellent, and everything tastes fresh without being mixed together in a sloppy way--you can really enjoy each ingredient. There's a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it comfortable whether you're dining in or taking your time. Portions per scoop could be a bit more generous, but overall they're fair for the price. Service was just okay--likely because it was busy during my visit--but the food more than made up for it. A solid choice if you're looking for fresh poke done right.

    Ask the Community - WOW POKE

    Will they ever take online or phone orders?

    Yes online order is working

    Are they open? I keep calling and no answer

    Yes they are open. I went last week but wasn't a fan of their salmon. They changed the way they cut them leaving some part of the skin on and it's just not appetizing anymore.

    Which sauces do not come with sugar? Asking for a friend who's doing keto :)

    You can ask for soy sauce and sriracha

    Um...is the address wrong? I had to google it to get here.

    Address is correct but some how because of 1/2 at the end of address number throws some navigation off

    Can I order online?

Every time, my entrees arrive well-packaged with everything neatly separated and still hot. It's clear they take care in preparing orders for delivery, which I really appreciate. Recently, I stopped by to pick up my order in person, and the spot had a cute Hawaiian-inspired vibe. The staff was friendly and my order was ready on time. I really love their Chicken Hawaiian BBQ plate. The chicken is always so smoky, tender, juicy, and delicious. Each plate comes with two complimentary sides: rice, macaroni salad, and greens. Of course, this place is known for their Island Beef Ribs, which is also one of my favorites. The beef ribs are ginormous and so much fun to eat with your hands. The Chicken Katsu has been a bit hit-or-miss for me; sometimes the chicken has been a little dry with more breading than meat. But when they get it right, the chicken is juicy, the breading is nice and crispy, and it's really good. They also serve breakfast all day, which is their Spam Breakfast Plate. I haven't tried it yet but looking forward to trying that and other items on their menu.

Wasted no time sampling the food as soon as it was served. There is only outdoor seating, so we had to chase some flies away while tasting everything. Each order had crispy skin and came with a side of sauce that was sweet and slightly sour. My favorite was definitely the Cebuchon. Such tender, savory meat! After driving +40 minutes, the skin still had a nice exterior. I do like how minimal their menu is - you can tell they are pork-oriented. I can definitely see myself visiting again or even ordering a catering tray for the holidays.
