Tiger Plate

I love poke and this TG hits the spot!! I like their menu options and specifically for the CYOB in which you can choose from the 3oz, 4oz or 6oz bowls ranging from cost of $10.50 to $16.40. To cost-save on eating but still provided with a great taste - I typically go for the Kids (3oz) bowl @ $10.50 - a perfect portion for me! I also do LOVE their Poke Nachos @ $10.50. This is the place to get it! Their tortilla chips are thick and generally holds most of the crunch even after 1/2 hour - 1 hour of not eating it immediately. It reminds me of the poke nachos from Poke to the Moon (closed earlier this year). I typically order online for pick-up because I get to control the customizations to my liking. Under Special Requests - they allow you to choose Light Sauced (Mixed), Extra Sauce (Mixed) or Separate Base/Fish and they allow you to select a sauce if you want it to drizzle over your bowl. I love sauces so I take advantage when I can.For their rewards program, for every visit you make you earn 1 point. When you get to 10 points you get 10% off the entire sale or 20% of entire sale when you collect 20 points. Sometimes they'll email out discounts - just gotta keep an eye out for those. So worth using. Oh check in on Yelp app and you do get a free soda can drink.Great location in Costa Mesa on Bristol. Parking can be a bit tough to find if you go during their busy rush times and weekend. If you're a poke lover you gotta try Tiger Plate!

I'm a little obsessed with this poke place and im not sure why because I don't think its amazing but I can't stop eating it?? Something about this place is so simple and I love it. The fish seems really fresh and I prefer the texture of the fish here more than elsewhere. I also enjoy that there are fewer topping options here because poke topping options out there are getting a little crazy imo. Their spicy chili is a bit too salty for me. The shoyu is good, but my favorite is the spicy mayo (I just love mayo). I love that I can get sliced cucumbers as a base here as well.

Finally got the chance to stop by and try tiger plate. I got the Ahi Tuna and Salmon with all the toppings, opting for the spicy shoyu and spicy mayo sauces. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit underwhelming.The main issue was the sauce - it was quite bland and there wasn't enough of it to enhance the flavors of the dish. Given the name "spicy," I expected a bit more kick and depth, but it fell short. The portion size was decent, but the lack of flavorful sauce made the overall dish feel lacking.On a positive note, the ingredients were fresh, and the variety of toppings added a nice texture. The Ahi tuna was really good and fresh. However, the sauce is a crucial component for a poke bowl, and it just didn't deliver this time.I'd come back next time and ask them to add more sauce or pay for more sauce!

My friend and I came here for a light bite and their food did not disappoint! I think I may now have a tofu pocket addiction... The cashier was super nice and helpful. She was extremely familiar with the menu and recommended me different items based on my preferences! The portion of fish is generous and tastes fresh. I personally ended up preferring the tofu pocket over the handroll, but both are yummy!

I wish I had taken more pictures to display the generous portions of the meals. Quick and friendly service, and very reasonably priced. I tried to create your own bowl, the tiger wrap, and one salmon pocket all for about $28 dollars. More than enough food, in fact it was my lunch and dinner. I like a reliable, cost efficient, and varied poke place. I especially enjoyed the tiger wrap, unique take and I wish more places offered this sort of wrap. Flavors were deliciously combined. It's a small restaurant with enough seating for their customers, I will be coming back in the future.

Placed a to-go order for lunch on a random Thursday at 2 PM. It's located in a plaza with lots of Japanese restaurants, bakeries, and markets so would've loved to explore if I had the time. The place was empty and the sole employee was NOT happy to see me. I don't know how it's possible to show off that you're grouchy, bored, and unwelcoming when all you're doing is handing me a plastic bag, but she managed to do it. Kind of impressive actually. I got a small spicy chili salmon and tuna poke bowl and a spicy mayo salmon inari "tiger pocket." Ingredients were fresh and generous with the toppings. The tiger pocket was solid, but the spicy chili sauce on the poke bowl was oily and way too salty. I should've gotten the spicy mayo for both but oh well and I won't say next time because there won't be one. I'm sure there's plenty of poke places (in SoCal of all places) that has kinder service and both menu items aren't worth returning for. Good experience but I'll leave it at that.

I usually come here at times during my lunch when I go to my OC office and I love it every single time. Depending on my mood, I get the poke bowl or poke nachos, it honestly hits every time. Hand rolls and tofu pockets are delish as well! Fish is fairly fresh and their sauces are tasty! Service is quick too, perfect for a quick lunch.

I recently tried this poke place, and it was a fantastic experience! The sweet and spicy ponzu sauce is absolutely delicious - just the right amount of heat balanced with freshness that makes every bite enjoyable. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each bowl. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the cute decor adds a charming touch to the whole experience. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!

I stumbled on Tiger Plate on Sunday early afternoon after leaving ramen place nearby. I wanted to try Spam Masubi and their ice-cream looked delicious. I did not try anything else. After eating some super salty ramen I wanted something sweet to take the salty pork taste away. Their rice/seaweed/spam and sauces were great - a good snack for sure. Guava drink was lightly sweet with a smooth taste - delicious. Ice-cream was also lightly sweet and soft/smooth - definitely beats Dairy Queen's Reese Butter Cup Blizzard (lol). CHECK-IN on YELP for a drink. The gentleman who helped me with my order was very friendly and helpful. There are tables inside and outside to sit down and eat. I have not tried any other dishes yet. Parking - it can be packed since there are many other restaurants nearby but seemed like people come and go so I did not have trouble finding parkings.

To be honest, it's a no for me. There's another poke place that I frequent up the street but I came here out of curiosity today and I'm kinda sad that I did. Fish was fresh but the flavor of sauce was so off (I got spicy shoyu and spicy mayo drizzle) I don't think they use sesame oil at all and charge extra if you want any other sauces. I did like that you could get cucumber as a base but it is shredded and not sliced. Pretty limited options here which might work for some but I'll pass.
