LemonShark Poke - Yucaipa

This was a delightful find in a busy shopping center. Beside their regular menu, they offer delicious bowls - it's set up similar to a sandwich or salad bar, you choose one or more proteins, greens, won ton chips, or white or brown rice, then add sauces and flavourings on top. All for about $16. The service is excellent, the food is cold and fresh, with unique blends and flavours. I really enjoyed my first visit.

I recently ordered from this place, and it was amazing! Now that I've moved out here, I've been trying to find a good spot for takeout poke, but it's always a challenge to find one that checks all the boxes. This place is definitely the winner! The food was so fresh and flavorful, and the quality was good . On top of that, the price was reasonable, which can be hard to come by. I'm so glad I found this spot... it's officially my new go-to for poke! I can't wait to try more items on their menu.

Husband and I wanted sushi but we have cold groceries in the car so we opted for poke. My husband and I have been trying to find a poke places over here that we like since we moved, and I think we found our spot. The bowls were amazing as well as staff. I think that the bowls are fairly priced and they had a variety of proteins and other options to eat other than poke bowls. The ambiance was nice. It was open and clean & I really enjoyed it. Have no cons really other than it's right next to my favorite sushi restaurant in the area... and that's not really a con either... I just had to provide some type of negative. Haha.

Our first time coming here and we enjoyed everything! The lady behind the counter ..(middle aged woman) was VERY helpful and pleasant and acknowledge us as we walked in. She asked if we had any questions about anything and I did. She was very helpful and explained everything. Asked if I wanted to taste the spicy mayo before making a decision. Very knowledgeable about Al of the ingredients and our bowls were delicious!! Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. We will definitely be back. I only wish I had remembered the lady's name that served us. She was the epitome of excellent customer service.

We tend to not get poke in the area because we have a go to sushi spot, but we decided to give LemonShark a try. We placed an order online for pickup for two customized bowls (a two scoop and a three scoop). We picked up our order within 15 minutes of placing it. When I got to the store, I wasn't greeted and the two girls in front were rather rude. I was friendly and said that I was there to pick up an order, and they simply pointed to a bag that was wrapped up at the end of the counter. I was a little off put by the interaction, but hoped that our food was prepared well.We went home to eat and found that our bowls did not taste very fresh. Though they were loaded up pretty well to our specifications, the quality was not good. To start, the rice was really hard, almost as if it was undercooked. The fish tasted old, and I pulled out a few pieces because they seemed suspicious. A couple pieces of shrimp were not cleaned. The veggies were dried out. And the tofu that my girlfriend got tasted sour. Some of the ingredients were fresher, but it seemed as though they drenched everything in sauce to mask the poorer ingredients. We did our best to eat through what we could, considering that the bowls were a bit pricey, but most of it went to waste. We were very disappointed with our visit and won't be back. We hope that their ingredient quality and customer service improves.

Honestly wasn't into this spot when they first arrived in Yucaipa (adjacent to Dominos) or poke bowl in general. Always figured "Hey, if I'm craving sushi.. then get sushi with 100% satisfaction versus something subpar to traditional sushi." Okay, maybe that mentality remains, but after giving LemonShark Poke another shot and with the right ingredients this time... we're glad we did! Very much enjoyed it and now my daughter keeps asking for more poke bowl it's making my stomach churn.For a difference of $2 compared to 1 scoop, much better just to get a 3 scoop bowl I figured. 3 scoops - had 1 scoop of shoshu salmon (not sure how it was spelled), 1 scoop spicy salmon, and 1 scoop spicy crab. Traditional white rice. Toppings? Masago, green onions, ginger, seaweed salad.. few other things I forget, topped with dried, crunchy garlic. I should've asked for the onion crunchy topping also. But now for the secret combo that made a huge difference compared to before - at least it did for us!Sauce combination - Japanese mayo and eel sauce! Omg this combo is practically the mix plenty of sushi restaurants use in plenty of their dishes. I added a 3rd - their poke sauce, and the 3 together didn't disappoint at all!So why the 4 stars instead of 5? 2 ladies working there seemed to be in quite a rush, as in rushing us customers, and were more into chit chatting than tending to customers who aren't too familiar with the poke chain. If you look at the photos.. uhh, waaaaay too much topping of dried garlic!! Now we know better to make sure and tell them light on those toppings, or they'll just flood the top with it! Maybe I'm just not familiar with poke bowl spots - is this a norm? If it is, well newcomers beware and make sure to let them know if you don't want so much of the crunchy toppings.Overall, great spot for a sushi "quick fix" but for they're prices, I still would rather grab a baked salmon roll elsewhere. If you're craving sushi, go get sushi! If you just want a quick bite in a comfy bowl to go, then stop on by and you won't be disappointed. Try the 2 sauce combo with mayo and eel sauce. Hopefully you like it!

This was my first time trying this place out. Would 100% recommend this place and will most definitely will come back to grub more of this Poké. Amazing taste, was all good and service was good. The environment was good and relaxing. Presentation was good and pricing was average. (Had to shake the bowl)

This is an update. I really love this place. My first visit didn't go too well, but they have changed the staff, and now it is my first choice for Poke. The owner, Dana is FANTASTIC.

The food was really warm they didn't greet us coming in and took like 5 mins to say anything to us they don't really have a good variety in toppings just fruit, they really stingy with the toppings and take three four times just scraping the scoop the girl is very rude and was sighing the whole time and gave attitude. I've been to places with a bigger portion where I can share and be full cheaper and tastier don't waste 20$ here

Cucumbers and red onion were brown and tasted like chemicals and that "ant" taste I called to see if there was something we could do about that just because I paid 20$ for this bowl itself and all I got was "I'm sorry you didn't like it everything is fresh everyday". the vegetables were brown and tasted ... bad! Just doesn't add up in just hoping I salmonella from this fishy shit
