👍👍 I was was tired, frustrated, and hungry after a exhausting day. I decided to grab some grub and parked at the Best Western parking lot because they share it with Poke Bar. I opened the door of the place and sounds of Wu-Tang Clan pleased my ear and ripped me out of the low mood I was previously in.... People often mention poke, good, service, friendly, great, Poke, order,

    I was was tired, frustrated, and hungry after a exhausting day. I decided to grab some grub and parked at the Best Western parking lot because they share it with Poke Bar. I opened the door of the place and sounds of Wu-Tang Clan pleased my ear and ripped me out of the low mood I was previously in. The line to eat was long but well worth it. Your Poke is built here, similar to Chipotle so you can customize things how you like. It's not the cheapest meal but worth it because of the size and verity of ingredients. People were friendly and my tummy was very happy with the end result. I'm so happy places like this are appearing in the downtown area.

    Never had a Poke Bowl subway style. So many options and ended up having a fantastic poke bowl. Spicy tuna yum.

    $$ .... Poki that is hard to beat! Vegan options... Almost everyone agrees... Great place for Poki! (Read the reviews and you quickly get the idea that this is a great place to enjoy a meal)... The location is good, in the middle of the Arts District, so it is a few blocks from so many interesting places, places to see and explore... This neighborhood is very friendly and well maintained. Always improving, always artistic! by cmilton111 Google Guide 3.11.2018

    I'm no poke connoisseur, and do not eat it regularly. The food was really good, most of the workers were nice. I always went early so I never seen it packed. 2 of the 3 times I went there they opened after posted times and the 2nd time it was almost 20 minutes after.

    Wanted to pick up my fav poke where I come frequently. New management? The two female employees were not motivated and arrogant. Probably they turn the story around and play innocent. If I didnt like the treatment I could go somewhere else and they laughed. No problem I left not continuing my order and spend my money somewhere else. The new management should get rid of these two young ladies!

    I liked the way the food tasted. It was wet as #%@$ and it slid down my throat after very mild chewing. I feel like I’m a king who has had his meal pre-chewed when I eat at poke bar and I mean that as a relatively good thing. Also the manager gave me the “let’s date” eyes so I will definitely be coming back. Cheers!

    The food is great and I would go back except that some people who work there lack customer support. Tried to place an order via door dash but struggled because I was being charged extra for items that I don’t want. (This doesn’t happen when you place an order in person). Tried to resolve this and get help via phone but the person who answered said that it’s an HR problem and that she couldn’t help. Tried to see about just placing an order for pick and for someone reason she said that it’s impossible to place an order for pick up. Not sure why this was such a challenge when many other places do take orders for pick up. Anyway, this person then proceeded to hang up on me. Not happy with the lack of customer service form this person. Like, why would she just hang up? When I tried to call, it just kept going to voicemail. I was a loyal customer up until today. Not cool what she did.

    Food was pretty good, but the service.. not so much. I didn’t feel welcomed. My questions were answered very short with a touch of bad attitude. I felt uncomfortable interacting with the girl who was helping me out. I don’t think I’ll come back again. But the food is quite good, so it deserves 4 stars!

    Delicious and with a nice assortment of proteins - worth a meal.

    Absolutely love this spot! It's the only poke place I go to. Staff is always amazing and friendly...they hook it up too! Great bang for your buck spot. They always have discounts too if you sign up for their rewards . 👌🏼

    This used to be my favorite poke place in Long Beach, but the last few times I have tried to go during their regular business hours on non-holidays, they have been closed. There are plenty of other poke places in Long Beach with better quality food and more consistent hours.

    We had a vegetarian poke bowl with tofu and kale noodles. The food and service was good. Friendly staff. Ambience is nothing fancy but since the food was good, it didn’t matter at all. The best part of this place is that they use biodegradable cutlery. I just wish that they used biodegradable containers instead of plastic ones.

    The poke is great, but I’m very frustrated with the service. The hours posted online say the restaurant closes at 8pm, but they were closed when I’ve gotten there at 7. I have called and they have said they stay open until 7;30 but again tonight I got there at 7 and the doors were locked and the employee was locking up and would not come to the door.

    I couldn't figure out how to tip with card on the machine unfortunately so I figured I'd at least leave a review. The guy working right now was very friendly, gave good suggestions, and great service. I'll have to remember to bring cash to tip him next time. The portions are great for the price and it's delicious.

    Great portion. Friendly service. Always a pleasure to eat here!

    Great poke spot with tons of different add-ons available, lots of variety. Food was super fresh and tasted great. The service was excellent, the lady behind the counter was so friendly and helpful. I'd definitely go back!

    This is my favorite neighborhood poke spot. The customer service is always top notch. I'm never disappointed with the portion sizes or freshness of the food. I love that they have crispy garlic along with crispy onions, such a delicious addition. Highly recommended!

    My favorite poke spot in Long Beach, good portion size and the selection of ingredients/ sauces for the price is better than other poke spots in the area. The service is great, all the employees have done well, but my favorite employee to get is Sam. He’s an exceptional employee and great at his job.

  • 5/5 Rukmini B. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing food! The owner literally massages the sauce with the meat and it makes the poke so much better than other restaurants. The owner is also so sweet and creates such a lovely restaurant atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Poke was solid, for the amount of food it was a good price too. Service was quick, but i came at an off hour. My only gripe was the milk tea i got was clearly over steeped, it had a little sour tinge to it which was disappointing.

    Only have good things to say about this place. The poke and rice are super fresh and hand mixed by the staff for the ultimate poke experience. The owner, Joon, is so cool and friendly. She grew up in Hawaii and brings so much nuance to making excellent poke. Ingredients are top notch and fresh. The staff prep your food with some serious attention to detail. Easy ordering process - you complete a placard with your order and they get to making it. Poke in general is overpriced and pretty standard in terms of quality. Poke Bar stands out and is a go-to for Downtown Long Beach. They also make a bomb bulgogi burrito wrapped in seaweed with sushi rice.
