Reviews for Pokewan in San Diego, CA
Best poke I?ve ever had! I always get the hotty hotty (larger bowl in pic). It?s a healthy selection of veggies and proteins and... tastes very flavorful. Makes me feel less guilty about getting Happy Lemon next door :p Read more
Decent portions, 2 or 4 scoops of protein for regular or large. Good choices of toppings and sauces. You can make it what you... want. Read more
I ordered a happier bowl at 6:45pm for take out. Drove home 20 mins later and found that their scallops was bad. It smells... really REALLY bad. I called Pokewan at 7:20pm to let them know that the food they served is bad and to throw it away beforegiving selling it to someone else. The response from Pokewan employee and assistant manager has been lackluster to say theleast. The apology felt forced. They took down my name and number and was going to have the manager called me back. They onlyoffered to a free bowl if I go to pick it up again tonight (another 40min round trip) or store credit, only after I mention ifthere was going to be some form of compensation or accountability. I decided gave them a call again and request for a refundfor my purchase. Currently hoping that i won't developed a stomachache. Read more
The counter service was friendly, helpful and patient as this was my first time ordering a poke bowl. The ingredients were fresh... and visually appealing. I ended up with a protein power bowl and loved the combination of flavors! This restaurant is very cleanand I will definitely be back. Read more
I?m not one to write reviews ever, but when I got this bowl delivered tonight m, that made me change my mind! How is the world... do they think it?s going to taste good with that much sauce!? My bowl looked like soup! I couldn?t even eat it, I just ate thefish off. So disappointing! Read more
I was used to have a bigger bowl with other poker restaurants, in this case is a tiny cup, and the scoops are smaller than the... regular icecream ones. Taste was good and the employees really friendly. But for the reason above describe I believe is a overprice poke. Read more
Fun little Poke restaurant with cool modern vibe! This little poke restaurant is located in the Del Mar area. It's small and... quaint. It has a nice little modern vibe to it and has some solid choices. Food: 4.5/5 I think the Poke here and theselections are excellent. Poke is all of the craze right now and these little shops are popping up everywhere. The steps aresimple. You usually pick a base (rice or salad), then your mix-ins, then your protein, then your sauces, then your toppings, andthen finally your crunch toppings. I got the brown rice Happy size (smaller with two scoops of protein), then I added prettymuch all of the veggies that they allow, then I chose shrimp and spicy tuna, and finally my toppings. The fish had a very cleantaste and had no odor whatsoever. The fish was also very fresh so it did not have any of the frozen like texture that fish willhas sometimes. Overall the bowl was refreshing and filling. Service and Seating: 5/5 Excellent service with no frills. Theworkers prepared the bowl very quickly, they also gave me all of the toppings and items I wanted and moved me right along. Theseating is nice as there are several tables inside with a few outdoors as well. I came at lunch on a Friday so there was a nicesteady stream of customers which in my opinion is always a good sign. I really liked this poke restaurant. It had a fun littlevibe with modern decor throughout. The food was fresh and I felt that they did a good job getting the food out to you quickly.My only area that I knocked it half of star is that it is a little bit pricey compared to other Poke places. There are only twosizes Happy (small) and Happier (large) and all other add-ons are extra charges. I know I'm being picky but that is just myopinion. But overall I think you will like this Poke restaurant so give it a try. Read more
This place used to be awesome and under the previous owner it earned 5 stars easily. Under the new stingy greedy cheapskate... owner it gets zero. Not only are the prices outrageous but the portions are very small and they stopped doing the birthday bowldeal in the middle of the year who does that? It?s really too bad that the other location in Carlsbad closed down cuz pokewanreally was a good poke spot. Oh well only a matter of time before this one closes down ¯_(?)_/¯ Read more
