Good quality poke, I just wish there was more!
Hungry and just looking to pick up and go, I came across this place. I’ve tried most of the poke spots in the Lake Forest area so I was hoping this would be my go-to. I’ve been here a long time ago and got a regular bowl, if I remember correctly.
This time around I ordered a Monster Bowl for pickup. The 5 scoops of fish sold me. So, I ordered all salmon, avocado, seaweed salad, ginger, crab meat, white rice, cucumbers, and medium spicy sauce.
It wasn’t long before my order was ready to be picked up. I hurried and grabbed my food and ate it when I got back to work.
What did I think of it?
- Monster Bowl: 5 small scoops of fish on what seems to be the same amount of rice you would get in a regular bowl. It tasted fresh and delicious though. It just looked identical in size to my coworker’s regular bowl that I picked up.
Service was good, the staff is friendly.
Parking spots are available here and there. It’s a business complex so there’s always cars parked here (at least during the weekdays).
No indoor seating is available.
Definitely a place worth trying, see if it “wows” you!
Decent spot if you’re in the area and want something fast and tastes pretty good. Definitely not the best poke spot out there
Always a long line solely due to extremely limited space. Once a few months is fine but I won't line up just for their poke often.
First time visiting.
The place looked very clean and the ingredients looked fresh as well.
The portions are smaller compared to other poke places.
You can only pick how hot the sauce is but not the regular sauce options like at other poke places (ponzu/spicy mayo etc)
Overall tasty and a good first impression but not top of the poke places list!
A great poke place where you can't make wrong decisions, all combinations will be tasty. I've been going here for 5 years now, and the quality has been consistently delicious, and all choices end you up with a bowl that tastes good. There aren't nearly as many choices as other poke places, but imo this is a good thing. Great little outdoor eating area as well.
Small place, but fresh ingredients! Great for take away, or if room, eat in. Hit the patio when the weather is nice.
13.50 with avocado and tax! Not bad!
The best place to get poke in SoCal.
I have been coming here since the first day it opened. This place is amazing.
try it.
I have been eating here 2 or 3 times a week for months.
Its been perfect every time.
By far the best poke bowl I had anywhere.
also love their "order online" portal on thier website.
Pretty good Poke bowls. They have a super efficient operation with a ton of people working in the back. They weigh and measure everything. The taste was pretty good. The "spicy" was not very spicy to me, maybe to my mother it would be spicy. The line moved fast at lunch. The location is near a bunch of auto body shops in the Irvine Auto Center.
Somewhat confusingly this is a poke spot, no bento boxes for sale. It's located in a non descript office park and the crowd was composed of office workers from nearby. Nice little outdoor seating area in said office park, no indoor seating.
What a fantastic hidden gem! A local from San Diego turned me on to Wow Bento. I still have no idea how he found this place. I absolutely love it though. Really fresh fish and quick to get you through the line too.
It is not unusual for the line to be out to the parking lot, but you'll get though really quick. I've been here a few times now, each ordering the poke bowl. Every time I have not finished all my rice and still been full hours later.
Absolutely the best poke bowl restaurant in the Irvine/Lake Forest area. All the ingredients are fresh and very tasty. The menu is broken down into steps to help facilitate ordering and the people are genuinely nice and accommodating. This place is super tiny with only a very limited dinning area inside but more seating and tables are arranged just outside the door. Highly recommend getting here before the lunchtime rush as it's very popular and the line often times forms out the front door but don't be alarmed, it goes pretty fast!
One of the best unknown poke spots in orange county. Their in-house sauce is great. The ingredients have always been fresh, and they prepare the food quickly, so the wait is never bad.

You really have to try this place. I've tried everything on thier menu. The poki chips is a good combo if not trying to eat some rice.
But for me, Monster bowl all the way.
