Very flavorful and portioned well. Quick, in and out. Staff is friendly. Everything is really fresh and I especially enjoyed the spicy tuna/salmon. The cucumbers tasted kind of odd but everything else was great.
After looking for a poke place nearby from a work site I just finished working at, I came across Pokistar. Looking at the menu I was hopeful although the protein option didn't look too great. I ordered a large bowl with 5 proteins. Got white rice. I thought this would be sushi rice but it was just plain white rice which was disappointing. Got all the free bases. 2 scoops of Spicy Tuna, 1 Scoop salmon, 1 scoop Tataki, 1 scoop scallop. House Sauce and Valcano 2 sauce. Got all the free toppings without ginger and Wasabi. Drizzled with Spicy Mayo and Eel Sauce. Overall it wasn't bad but not good either. It was OK. If they had sushi rice instead, I would give them another star and if they had octopus it would be even better.
Delicious fresh cut salmon! Worth my patience, walked in as soon as I knew they opened at 11am. Medium is enough to share with someone too .
I was able to come here twice while on business. I did enjoy all the variety of toppings to the 3 or 5 protein bowl. The rice was great for the foundation. I tried the volcano 2 and spicy mayo combo and couldn't really taste the heat at all. Probably needed more flavoring. A but bland. But the bowl size and portion for 5 protein is good. 15.99. Adding an avocado baby scoop is probably worth it at 1.50 extra to give your bowl extra texture. Enjoyed the bowl. Spice up the sauces.
3stars - 1star (they charge for seaweed!?) = 2stars
Poki Star in Huntington Beach is our go-to poke takeout restaurant. There are several options for fish and spicy options as well. I particularly like the different levels of heat you can add when you customize and add in the sauces. One unique offering from Poki Star is the option of choosing black rice along with white rice and brown rice as a base. I like the choices of add-ins and toppings, and the young staff that work there are always helpful and attentive. The shopping center also houses a Starbucks, Bubba Sweets, Taco Bell, and other sit-down restaurants as well!
I had to order the large which gives you five scoops of protein and the selections are really nice but I prefer spicy tuna. I love the interior of the place. It’s really cool when you come in they’ll start you off by asking how big your order whether it needs to be small or large I took the basic toppings of cucumber and fish eggs and then I had spicy mayo added my first layer with salad, but your choice is salad, or white or brown rice And I ordered Pasco guava nectar for me, it was the perfect meal !! The flavor was perfect to customize I think you’ll love the options!!
Super clean restaurant amd the staff is really nice. Excellent food with good prices.
