Best places: Poke bars in Carmel-By-The-Sea, United States

Create-your-own bowls of uncooked fish & veggies are offered at this compact counter-serve eatery.

Snug, easygoing counter-service joint serving Hawaiian-style meat dishes, loco moco & sides.

🫤 This place appears clean and food seems fresh... however... their portions are ridiculous. They used to be very tight but now they’re beyond stingy. For nearly $20 for a large bowl (with tax) with all the toppings the bowl is only 2/3 full. This will be my last visit to this place.

👍👍 I’ve been coming to Poke Bar since they opened. I’ve tried every other poke place in the surrounding areas and this one is my go to! They have a great variety of protein and mix ins. It always taste so fresh, which i love. And their sauces are amazing. The owner and the staff are super friendly and...

Functional setting for poke, served on brown & white rice, mixed greens or tortilla chips.

Counter-serve eatery offering custom fish bowls, sushi & Japanese beers in a bright, modern space.

👍 Loved this place! For $15, you get your base plus unlimited toppings (avocado is extra) 4 scoops of your choice protein, and of course your sauce(s). I did a split base sushi rice and salad, 3 scoops of salmon 1 scoop spicy mayo salmon (yes it is spicy!) Sesame seeds, shaved zucchini, house sauce,...

🫤 Worst customer service! I don’t understand why they are so stingy on their vegetables! I paid $17 plus tax for a normal poke bowl- it comes with three proteins and they couldn’t give me a full tablespoon of cucumbers? They give you the tiniest of pinches for each veggie you choose, which is difficul...

👍 Very nice lady running the place/working here. Good portions and fresh ingredients. I am giving 4 stars because the rice was very hot, so hot I was worried it would cook the fish. It should be room temp or a little warm but not hot. I also prefer seasoned rice (sushi)but she uses just plain. Finally...

🫤 Just ordered delivery from pokeworks for lunch. I had a bad experience here a short while ago and was craving poke so I thought I'd give them another chance They are light on the fish, but at least it tasted fresher this time around. The portion for what you pay for is skimpy, as the pictures sho...

😠 I just feel discriminated for the staff. The store was alone and I believed the service was first comes first served. After I arrived and started to order, arrives another lady, and the guy in the front started to serve her at the same time than me. I thought It was ok but he makes me wait several t...

Small joint offering build-your-own rice & salad bowls topped with Hawaiian-style raw seafood.

👍👍 Fresh ingredients and tasty food! Small size is already a pretty good portion for me. Very satisfying.

🫤 Ordered online multiple times and items were missing here and there. My husband likes this place more than I do but after today, we won't be ordering anymore. We got the same amount of ingredients on the site (just different ones) and this is what the bowls were like.my husbands was practically over...

Island-themed fast-food chain whose menu features traditional Hawaiian plate lunches.

😠 Honestly I’m a huge Poke person, so I always like to try new places and this place was a rip off, the girl that scooped my fish gave me the smallest scoop humanly possible I think I got like 2 pieces of salmon and maybe 3 of ahi. It was so disappointing.

👍 Poke shop in Morgan Hill. Not many poke places south of San Jose so nice to see some options. A little on the pricey side nearing 20 dollars but you do get a decently sized bowl and a good amount of add-ons. Overall a decent poke place for the location.

👍 11/26/2023 Update: The practice of weighing the scoops of seafood seems to have stopped and the portions appear to have improved and normalized. Also, the staffing has improved after a dip (much more likely to see 3 staff out front) and the staff appears happier and more friendly. I would give the c...

👍 small-sized option offers a reasonable price, and you can choose two types of proteins. There are also plenty of variety options available. A full bowl is generally quite filling, and the staff will help mix everything evenly before serving which is quite good, ensuring a consistent taste throughout...

🫤 I used to come here a lot of times, hoping the same quality would be maintained since it started. However, today I backed off due to 2 things are compromised: food from saliva contamination and air cleanliness in an enclosed space. I’ve been noticing workers tend to talk while preparing food, no sne...
