Pokeworks

This place is hands down my all-time favorite OC poke place! Ive been to their store and ordered DoorDash possibly more than 15 times, and never not even once it disappointed me!In the beginning I got the 3 protein option but later switched to the 2 protein options as the portions are pretty big! I used to get their salmon and tuna but recently switched to the marinated spicy tuna. The fish is so fresh that doesn't require marinade to be tasty. The thing that I love about this store vs rivals is that they have the half salad half rice on their menu and on DoorDash which makes it more convenient to order and that they mix all the ingredients with the sauces in a separate bowl before adding it to your order which makes everything so well combined and extra delicious!They also have a reward program that you can take advantage of in-store! The staff is not stingy and actually does a great reasonable job with the portions and are super nice and friendly!I am a regular customer and am back at least once every week or two! Keep up the good quality and service!

Compared to other California poke, I actually really enjoyed the poke here. The fish tasted fresh and didn't have that 'fishy' flavor. There's plenty of toppings to choose from and I always like when places offer fresh fruit in the bowl; they also have soft tofu as an optional topping which I enjoyed. The amount of fish you get per scoop isn't the greatest, but I enjoyed the quality enough to only dock one star. Would definitely come back in the future! There's seats inside and outside, and we used the self service kiosk to get our orders out quickly.

Where do I start... Pokeworks has been my number one ever since I found them. I've tried a few other spots (Poketiki, Sweetfind, etc) and they were good but........ I dropped them all after I found Pokeworks. Pokeworks brings the best in quality and flavor in SoCal and I'm stoked on the new flavors they bring in all the time. They're the only spot that experiments as successfully and I'm ashamed to say how often I come Highly recommend if yall been thinking of trying!

This local favorite poke spot is a true gem, especially if you live nearby, having access to fresh, high-quality poke in your neighborhood feels like a blessing. The customer service is exceptional, and the establishment is wheelchair accessible. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with the added bonus of outdoor seating that makes for a pleasant dining experience, especially on nice days. While the prices may be a bit higher for three choices of fish, it's definitely worth it, given the freshness and the delicious variety of sauces they offer.No matter when you visit, you can always count on the fish being fresh. Today, they were out of ginger, which caught me by surprise, but I understand things like that can happen. Ginger is my favorite part of the poke bowl as it adds that perfect kick, but I'm not upset. Overall, this place consistently delivers great flavor, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch customer service, making it a go-to for a satisfying poke experience.

The poke bowls are incredibly fresh and customizable, The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is really inviting. The fish is fresh and they have a great selection of toppings to choose from , however that the portions are a bit small to compare with the price . Otherwise, very tasty and fresh! Overall, it was a great meal and an amazing encounter with poke bowls.

I liked: Lobster, Salmon, Tuna Poke Bowl One of the better poke #goodeats you can get in Irvine. I like that they include Lobster instead of just the usual toppings. There are poke burritos here too but I think the bowls are better value :) Service was minimal, I ordered on the iPad in the front and they just called my name 5 minutes later. The interior is nice and clean but with no one inside, it feels like most people get to go here.

This is my favorite poke spot in the world. I love how you can customize your bowl and add anything and everything to it!! I've been here countless times and through trial and error, I've found my perfect bowl and go-to order. Definitely get the app!! You'll get points and will be able to redeem them for a $9 voucher. Service can be super good on some days and lackluster on other days.. but overlooking the bad days because there is one female worker who is so nice and always serves me with a smile on her face!! I'll have to get her name next time to shout her out :)Ambiance is super casual. If you're dining in, you just grab your poke and sit down at any table. It's a nice place to grab food and have a chat with friends or family.I love you Pokeworks !!! please never close !!!

I was surprised. I came here in 2018 and I loved Pokeworks (forgot to write a review though, whoops, sorry). I went here in October 2024 and I had a suboptimal experience. The service was great, the servers were nice, and the vibe is modern and chic. I was so surprised at the salmon, though. I got the salmon poke bomb. I thought the fish was bland. I didn't finish it. I walked in and ordered. I eat raw salmon sushi all the time. Believe me when I say this was one of the worst salmons I've had in a while. I'd say the flavor here is on the same level of the Costco salmon sushi I ate a few months ago or the horrifying Las Vegas desert salmon AYCE sushi I went to. Those were terrible. Their misdeeds were understandable. I can't remember the last time I went to a legitimate California poke/sushi place that had salmon that I thought was bad. I went near the end of the day (5PM Sunday), so that may have played a part.The actual poke bomb was a strange menu item. They gave a good amount of salmon, so I thought that was great. The rice and inari skin just had a lot of sweet flavor, I think they added a boatload of mirin. It was messy, my box came in super sticky. It took a somewhat long time to assemble and someone had to babysit it the whole time. All for $6. It just doesn't seem worth it. By the way, you can't mix and match the poke bombs, so I got 2x salmon. By contrast, H2O Poke and Uroko Poke always have such flavorful and delicious salmon, so I can't recommend Pokeworks. Reading other reviews, I'm flabbergasted, people seem to love this place, so I probably got unlucky. It's 2 stars for what they did well. Maybe you'll have a better experience.

Pokeworks was not bad. I ordered a small salad bowl, which comes with one protein ($12.95). It was definitely small in size, but I was disappointed how there were very few pieces of fish. I don't think it was worth it. My friend ordered a medium size ($15.95) that comes with two proteins, and even though it seems to have more fish, she didn't think it was worth it.I got salmon, and it tasted fresh and not fishy. The toppings were tasty, too. I liked the flavor of the ponzu sauce that I chose as well. There were many free and paid toppings to choose from. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is big and clean with seating options inside and out.This place isn't bad, I just don't think it's worth it compared to some other poke places.

Pokeworks in Irvine has been a great spot for me! The customer service is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!
