One of the better poke bowl spots I’ve been to. They have several premade bowls with seared salmon or tuna, a volcano bowl (salmon and tempura, I believe) and a kids bowl; I chose the build your own bowl option with 2 proteins. You can choose up to 6 items for side toppings although you are not able to get more than 1 serving of an item. For example, if you only like 3 items of the 6, you are only allowed to get 1 serving of the 3, forfeiting the other 3, instead of being able to get 2 servings of each. That being said, it is a very good portion of food. There are 4 different levels of spicy, I got the level 3 spicy which wasn’t very spicy at all. There are plenty of drink options including wine, sake, and beer. Miso soup was good, would come here again.

you can eat raw fish. originaly japanese food, but made as american restaurant. so l can recommend either american and asian.

Their motto matches their product. Best poke place in all of SoCal. Exceptionally reasonable prices, don’t up charge for small things, and have a wonderful community table area in the restaurant!

My husband and I always go here when we don't know what to have for dinner : ) There have many choices! In addition, the fish and vegetables are fresh, so you can eat them with confidence. There are many kind staffs, so the atmosphere is also so nice. And agave syrup is used for boba. This is the wonderful feeling of the owner who wants you to eat healthy food as much as possible! We will definitely come back here soon!

Love their food, great option. Great selection. Wish they had fountain drinks rather than needing to buy a whole bottle, but otherwise, the food is great 👍 It's not the restaurant's fault, but the parking spots are hard to find and navigate. Gets very cramped, so get their before the rush.

Great Poke! Fresh and lots of ingredients to choose from. And very large portions but lower end pricing. My new favorite.

great poke fix, one of the few places that offers cheap poke but very filling I got 2 scoops and they filled up my bowl/plate they also offered free miso soup if you check in from another app

I was looking around online for something light to eat nearby after a day at South Coast Plaza that was budget friendly and Urokocafe came up in my search. It might be easy to pass by at first since their entrance is actually in the back. I got to the location by going through the Chevron station. As a fan of Poke, I'm always up to trying a new Poke spot. Like other Poke restaurants, they offer build-your-own-bowl options. While most places offer 2-4 scoops of protein they actually offer up to 5 scoops of protein if wanted. There's a variety of bases, sides, proteins, sauces, & toppings to choose from. They even offer vegan meat and tofu for people that are plant-based. You can also order appetizers, pre-made bowls, a kid's bowl, or even miso soup. Another option that makes them unique is that they offer sushi and hand rolls. So if you're not in the mood to have a big bowl then you can order sushi rolls instead. I opted to get a 2 scoop of protein bowl which I very filling for me since I had a big lunch earlier. The service is fast & friendly. The simple yet modern design makes for a relaxing place to eat at. In terms of value, Uroko Cafe offers reasonable prices considering the quality and portion sizes. There's plenty of seating to eat there or you can always take it to-go. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely check out Urokocafe for some good poke.

I visited Uroko Cafe in Costa Mesa today for the first time, excited to try their offerings based on the positive Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. I ordered a 3 scoop poke bowl, but my disappointment began with the rice. It was stale, lacking the freshness and texture I had hoped for. Moving on to the fish, I found that some pieces were bland, lacking the flavorful punch I associate with quality poke. Even worse, a few of the fish pieces tasted past their expiration, leaving a rather unpleasant aftertaste. To add to my disappointment, the spicy miso sauce that accompanied the dish was excessively salty, overwhelming the other flavors and making it difficult to enjoy the meal. On a slightly positive note, the gyoza I tried wasn't terrible, but it certainly didn't make up for the other shortcomings. Perhaps I set my expectations too high, considering the glowing reviews I had read. However, based on my experience today, I have to say that Uroko Cafe was underwhelming overall. I do acknowledge that everyone can have an off day, so if I find myself in the area again, I'll give it another chance. Hopefully, my next visit will yield a more enjoyable experience and a review worth sharing.

Great poke bowl. Bit interesting the way they hand mix the sauces you choose just with the fish. Delicious, and I had a ton of leftovers.

Delicious sushi bowl place. Fresh ingredients and kind staff. The protein portions are a little small but the quality is good. You choose your protein scoop size, then the base and add your toppings and sauce.

Love love love this place! The fish is fresh, a ton of side options (including avocado at no additional charge!!), and large portions. I love their broccoli for the base. And they have a greatly priced drinks menu. Note that you can't change the sugar levels tho.

I think I come here too often. You can create your own bowl, they give BIG portions. Really like the staff. They are always pleasant. 10 of 10 would recommend.

Pretty good. The quality of the ingredients and fish were pretty decent. The space inside is nice too. However, some small things were off-putting. I didn't like eating from the silver bowl. Also, the ingredients were just scooped so it didn't really feel like a bowl put together- more like ingredients.

Really good. The fish was fresh and tasted good. Plenty of toppling choices. I also liked that there were a few choices for the base. Service was good too. Glad i stumbled upon this place.

Great in pricewise and qualitywise. My only complain would be the steel-like plate they are using for dine-in. It is definitely not going well with the fish. I wish the owner had tried their poke in that way...It has to be a well-coated stainless steel for the fish if the owner wants to keep the concept (and i liked the presentation). That metal flavor ruined this great poke - just to reply to the owner's comment, it was the plate itself not the fish or sauce... appreciate your reply i will visit again :)

" me Kara uroko" Great place, decent prices. Love the variety of fish they have. I got white rice as a base, 5 scoops. Their uroko house sauce is delicious. Would definitely recommend coming here for new and expert poki eaters. If you're not a fan of fish, they also have tofu subs as well. This place also sells milk teas. For my canned soda, 5 scoops of fish, and, bag of chips came around less than $20. Would definately come again and recommend my friends to enjoy this establishment.

Omg one of the best poke I’ve ever ate, highly recommended 😋

I’ve ordered here probably two dozen times and the food is delicious. Only reason I give a 4 star and not a 5 star review is because for delivery orders, I’ve noticed other ingredients sometimes get mixed in that you did not order. For example I always order vegan meat & tofu together, but sometimes the dish will arrive with a scoop of shrimp or octopus thrown on top. If you have any dietary restrictions, definitely give your food a once-over before digging in. Beyond that, the food is absolutely delicious. I could (and have) eaten Uroko every day for a week!

Love this place! Go there every trip to California. Super fresh ingredients, great options and quality proteins. Always flavor packed and more than I can eat. Restaurant is very clean and spacious and servers are very helpful. Highly recommend.

Today was my second day trying this place the first day I had a premade bowl it was the tuna tataki. Really good the only thing I didn't like was they overseasoned the tuna. So today I tried the build your own bowl, very impressed. What I got was the five protein, which just means five scoops of whatever protein you want. I chose, of course the tuna. My base I chose was the salad, very delicious mixture of a lot of healthy greens. The drink I added was the Tai milk tea. Reasonably priced as well.

Technically I didn't have poke because I don't eat fish 😅 but that wasn't an issue because they have veggie meat and tofu as protein options! Portions are decent and prices are as expected of this genre of restaurant.
