Poke Bistro

his was my first time and definitely not coming back again. My boyfriend insisted in coming to this place; so we walked in. It was so quiet. Not even a good morning a good afternoon; in other words, we were not acknowledged, when we walked in, the place felt very tense. I suggested it to share a Poké bowl with my bf but we noticed they were quite small. anyhow, so we started ordering our Poké bowls and everything was fine until we got to the register. I believe the cashier was the owner appears to be skinny, old, and Asian guy!! So, when we got to pay, I asked the cashier nicely to have my bfs crab meat on the side cause he forgot to ask for it .. the asian man face just twitched when I ask for it… then I asked him for a side of spicy sauce; it seem like I was twisting his arm.. I been to poke bowl spots whoever is preparing my bowl asks me specifically what I want.. with this cashier every time I asked for something, I could see his face upset; that just put us on the wrong foot.. well, I don’t think they know what the definition of customer services is.. i didn’t see the dried onions for my toppings which the cashier didn’t asked me if I wanted any… That was like strike 3 … So I asked for a side, it felt like I was asking for his car keys lol.. he just threw it in my bag … I told him straight out. we are not coming back cause he was so rude.. despite of I was nice about it cause I would have just thrown it back at him … the experience was horrible

Definitely not worth the money... poor customer service, slow workers and it just doesn't taste as good so they must be getting cheap with the quality of products there... won't be back unfortunately Ralph's makes (even to order) a great poke bowl for almost half the price.

THEY OPEN AT 11:30AM PEOPLE! Lol. The reason I thought i'd inform is bc today I walked in at 11:20am, I was on my lunch break, the man (whom i think is the owner) just stood there and stared at me... He then walked to the front to inform me they did not open till 11:30am. I apologized bc the door was open, and I had assumed. He walked over to OPEN sign and said, "do you see the sign is not on!?" Honestly, he was being super rude, but decided since I was there, he would serve me. MAYBE HE SHOULDNT HAVE THE DOOR OPEN IF HE DOESNT WANT CUSTOMERS TO WALK IN BEFORE 11:30AM.. As I was ordering a couple then walked in, hehe that's what he gets. Maybe he was having a bad day. But either than that My bowl was delicious, but a bit more on the pricier side compared to other places...

Poke Bistro is one of the better options for poke in Riverside. The Hawaiian style salmon and tuna is delicious. What sets this place apart from the rest of the poke options in the area is the simple sauce selections. The poke is good enough to stand on its own and Poke Bistro knows there’s no need to drench it in overpowering sauces and flavors. There has been a price increase, but what hasn’t these days. The serving size is fair and I was content with just a regular bowl. Overall, my favorite in the area so far. I highly recommend asking for light sauce.

This place is pretty nice overall. I like their selection. I don't really like how stingy they are with the protiens! Some of the workers are more generous, but for 15 dollars, is it really necessary to be so meticulous with each scoop?

After a short argument that yellowtail is not tuna . I chose everything for my poke bowl . It was excellent my server did not bicker over giving a little extra seaweed salad that is fabulous by the way because the last four times I have been there this is been a small problem. As I walked in I realized they had a new beverage refrigerator with a huge selection of soft Drinks . Normally I just choose water complementary. I highly suggest taking time out for the Poke Bistro great food very fresh with lots of options in a nice atmosphere. Also they have a water purifier for a complimentary cup a purified water. ❤️

Silent aggresive stares from the guy working the counter that day. Customer service subpar, however, the poke is usually always good.

This place used to be great. However, the prices keep going up while the quality stays the same and the portions reduce.
