      Popped in during the lunch rush and was really happy with my food + experience.

      Looks like prices have gone up a few dollars, but the toppings are all included in the price. I paid about $17 before tax&tip. So, in total it ends up being pretty standard pricing for poke shops right now.

      The fish was fresh and the toppings were similarly tasty. Great avocado, standard crab salad, and a healthy serving of garnishes. I wish there was more sauce as well as hot rice (instead of room temperature).

      Very satisfying!

      Hands down, the best poke I have had in Cali. Fresh, great toppings, not too complicated, nice portions (the price in my opinion reflects the portion and quality), and AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. The owner is so sweet and absolutely love how he embraces his customers and lets them indulge in the food. I've been going here at least 1 or 2x a month. Would highly recommend! The ahi tuna and spicy tuna are my personal favorite! Must get the Wasabi Mayo for the sauce! PLZ SUPPORT THIS SMALL BUSINESS (:

      My order: Small Size (two scoops), Light Rice, Spicy Tuna and Ahi Tuna, Cucumber, White Onions, Green Onions, Edamame, Ginger, Avocado (ps, they don't charge extra for this), Seaweed Salad, Spicy Mayo, Wasabi Mayo, Eel Sauce, Garlic / Onion Crunch - *chefs kiss*

      It was a little hidden but going inside everyone is very friendly and helpful! The food was great, I got a regular portion but it was quite large and all the topping are included for no extra charge. The fish is really fresh and overall was tasty. It's really nice sitting outside in the afternoon, however seating is limited because it's small, but it's great for grab and go.

      It's been a few years since I've ordered from here but the prices are outrageous. I went last week and it was so expensive and I wasn't even satisfied with what I ordered. It was over $20 for a small bowl which I think is crazy. The small portion amount of fish was mediocre. I probably won't be coming back.

      Yesterday I came in super excited to have my first raw fish in 8 months. I was diagnosed with cancer and due to chemotherapy I was not allowed to eat any raw fish during treatment. A few weeks after surgery, my doctor gave me the okay to eat raw fish again.

      When I mentioned this to Chris the amazing crew member that was helping me, he meet me with the same level of enthusiasm! I told Chris this is a celebratory poki!

      He genuinely asked about my treatment and journey. He was so nice and pleasant. By the time we got to the register and I was going to pay. He said the meal was on him! He literally took his wallet and paid for my meal.

      It was so generous of him. I was not expecting such kindness. Chris you are such a gem and what customer service is all about!

      Not only did you prepare a delicious bowl of poke but also made my day better and the celebration even sweeter.

      Thank you so much.

      This is hands down my favorite poke place in Orange County. The fish tastes so fresh! There's a wider variety of toppings. Everything is honestly so delicious. I also love that they offer more items than just poke. I've ordered this lunch for my office a couple of times and now I get so many requests to re-order here. They've also never forgotten an ingredient. That attention to detail is much appreciated. Delivery is quick, if you're in the Irvine/ Technology Drive area. Plus, everything is so clearly labeled- it's very helpful for when you order multiple bowls!

      I've driven through technology drive on my way to work for 3 years, I noticed this spot last year and always planned to check it out and today was the day and I'm glad I did. The tuna and salmon is fresh and it melts in your mouth and I appreciated the variety of sauces and spices. I'm glad that family owned restaurants still consider quality food like this place and it's a damn shame that they close early in the afternoon because I would eat here twice a day if I could. 10/10

      Tried this for the first time since I was really craving poké but only had 30 mins for lunch and this was the closest place to my work. Pokenoya is located in a business plaza, so don't be alarmed and think that your gps is mistaken. I ordered online at https://www.gopokenoya.com and picked it up with no problem and my order was correct. The bowl was shallower than at other poké places, and since I got spring mix as my base, once I mixed it, it didn't seem like there was that much poké or anything else in the bowl. Everything that I got was fresh, but I felt like I needed a little bit more sauce on my scallops & salmon and it's a bit pricey for the portion. Custom bowl with 3 proteins was $18.73 including tax.
