The Low-key Poke Joint

Great delicious Poki for the price. They are super friendly! I have been to other Poki placed however you get more for your dollar at Low-key Poke.

It was my 1st time and the staff was suoer helpful. Big serving size of the burrito and yummy freen tea! Had yhe cheeto crusted sushi burrito. Was very good & fresh.

Such good poke. It tastes great, and I stop by whenever I visit riverside! And the portion size here is amazing. Well worth your money, not only is the size great, they also have so many protein options. And do not charge ridiculous fees for toppings. (Literally hate poke places that charge for every little topping!) Stop in, you won't be disappointed

One of our preferred poke places in corona/riverside area. Love the bootea and hula rice. Good size portion. They close too early.

The store manager, David, and his team gave us excellent service when Uber Eats cancelled our order by the time we got there. David made sure to get to the bottom of it with Uber and serve us our food even though they were about to close. Thank you for taking care of us when most places won’t nowadays!

I have tried many different places, but this one is by far the best. It’s kinda far from me but the 25 min drive is so worth it. It’s always fresh, and their variety of sauces are to die for. Also, The employees are so cool and they take care of business. They are quick with it and have never messed up my order. This is my fav place for poke ever.

so good and large portion sizes

If you like spicy.. trust me.. do a medium Shoyu the way sauce and medium I Lava You sauce on the botea rice. Stupendous!

Always delicious! The fish is fresh and they use the perfect amount of ingredients. They have a different line up of sauces compared to other places that are fantastic! Today we tried the truffle fries. Those are pretty great too. Customer service is a 10! Thanks for being all around a great place to go!

The workers are cheerful and super patient and helpful! Love their charm! The food is great as well, the fish tastes fresh and not like its been frozen 8 dozen times. The place itself is super clean and the front counter has alot of memes drawn all over it, its great! Plus the restroom has a cuck chair so my wife can sit and watch to make sure I don't fall in! 10/10

I thought it was gonna be a small, light, dinner by the portions they gave but once you actually start eating it you realize it’s a huge serving, plus it is amazing. It’s worth $20 for a large serving

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Low-Key Poke Joint (Riverside) is exactly what I want in a poke spot: super fresh fish, fast service, and zero fuss. I built a bowl with half salmon/half tuna, garlic ponzu, and a legit mountain of mix-ins—sweet onion, masago, seaweed salad, cucumber, and a sprinkle of furikake. Every bite tasted clean and bright, and the rice was perfectly warm and fluffy (not soggy—huge win). The spicy mayo and yuzu shoyu are both worth a drizzle, and the crispy onions add that perfect crunch. Staff was friendly and dialed—my bowl was ready in minutes even with a line. Portions are generous for the price, the space is spotless, and the vibe matches the name: chill, low-key, and welcoming. Great for a quick lunch, post-gym refuel, or a late study break if you’re near. Pro tip: add pickled ginger and wonton strips—game changer. Riverside has a lot of food options, but this is my go-to when I want something fresh, fast, and seriously satisfying.

Absolutely Adorable and Delicious! Plenty of parking and wchr accessible parking also. Lots of seating inside. You pick out everything you want in your Bowl, salad, or Wrap. Ahi, scallops, spicy tuna, crab- just to name a few. They also serve wine and beer. Very clean and wonderful service!

Always fresh and delicious. I am a huge fan of the poke bowl as it's a great substitute for sushi rolls. Excellent price and the best sauces in town. Salmon is always perfect. I go almost twice a week

GET THE "BOOTEA" RICE!! The best poke in Riverside, without a doubt. The best/tastiest seafood options out of all the poke spots I've been to.

We got 2 different burritos. One with Cheetos and one normal. Fish is super fresh, sauces are delicious, and great staff! Will definitely be returning!

Low-Key Pokey Joint is hands-down the best pokey spot around! Every time I come in, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, it’s like they actually love what they do, and it shows. The ingredients are always super fresh, the flavors hit just right, and the portions are generous. I’ve tried other pokey places, but nothing compares to this one. Every visit feels consistent and made with care. If you’re looking for a go-to pokey place that never disappoints, this is it.

Just found out about this place today and it was amazing. The food has great portions for a great price and it was delicious

They give you such big portions! Such great value for a poke place! Definitely recommend!

Literally my go to place to go everytime I am in need of some poke. They don't have as much topping options as other places but their portions, sauces, and just overall fish just keeps bringing me back. Definitely recommend.

Food is amazing. All the proteins are fresh and delicious. They give you tons of toppings. The staff is always friendly. My only one complaint is that they take a long time. I'm not sure if it's just the nature of the beast or it can be better streamlined. Despite the long wait I come back at least once a month

Has a lot more options for additions than other poke places. The price goes up accordingly, though. Large bowl and tea was $15. Has a bar, beers, sake. Interior is super clean and smooth, black tile, very stylish. Bit of a jazz look. Very nice.

+1

This place has an enjoyable atmosphere, beer available for drinks and a good menu. There aren't a wide selection of toppings for the poke bowls but it's pretty standard. Bathrooms are clean and the staff are friendly. I would visit here again.

The fish was fresh and the hot cheeto dust was tasty on your fingers. Watch out for the I lava you sauce. It is fire but like burn your stomach fire hahaha. So be prepared

Bottom Line Up Front: Low-Key Poke Joint is the poke bowl version of chipotle, serving up customizable bowls in a casual setting -- for slightly higher prices than you'd expect from a fast-food place. The Background: As the name denotes, this restaurant serves poke (pronounced poh-kay), a Hawaiian dish of raw fish that's been cut into cubes and marinated (usually with soy sauce, sesame, and seaweed). While poke is absolutely delicious in Hawaii, here on the mainland (continental USA) it's often drenched in overpowering sauces to the point where you can barely call it poke. Fortunately, that's not the case at Low-Key Poke Joint — the seafood is fresh and subtly seasoned and marinated. The Menu: Here you choose from one of two sizes: regular and large. The former gets you 3 scoops of protein while the latter gets your 5 scoops. Low-Key has all the classic proteins, from salmon and tuna to shrimp and octopus. For vegetarians, there is tofu and avocado. The proteins are served on one of six bases: spring mix, kale mix, Jasmine rice, Hula rice (rice blended with purple cabbage and coconut), Bootea rice (bamboo with green tea rice), or half and half. Then you add in your desired sauce, sides, and toppings (of which there are many to choose from for each). The Food: I ordered a regular bowl with 1 scoop of tuna and 2 scoops of scallops on top of Hula rice. I got it with the Truffle Shuffle sauce; green onions, crab meat, seaweed salad, and ginger for the sides; and furikake for the topping. Everything tasted fresh with no overpowering sauces. While scallops and tuna weren't the best I've ever had, they were tasty enough for me to be pleased with the quality. And I was shocked at how much I loved the Hula rice. The regular size (3 scoops of protein) was enough to keep me satisfied, though I wouldn't say it's a generous portion — more like "just right." The Setting: I can't comment on the sit-down experience, as I ordered to-go, but the inside was clean and organized. I wouldn't necessarily come here with a big party (it's a medium-sized fast-food joint after all), but you should be able to find room for a part of 6 or smaller, though 2-4 would be ideal. The Service: The staff was fast, friendly, and polite. Top notch! The Price: Here's where I have to knock off a star from my rating. For a regular bowl and a drink, plus tax, you'll be paying about $20 for a meal. For one person. At a fast food place. Wow. Sure, it's raw seafood, not manufactured burgers, but paying that much for fast food and not being completely stuffed is a downer. And don't get me started with the large bowl, which is basically $17 by itself. Ouch. The Conclusion: Overall, Low-Key Poke Joint knows how to make poke the right way. Just don't expect to get a boatload of fast food for the higher prices you'll be paying.

Hi people. If you are looking for delicious poke, that’s right place. Food was yummy. Ingredients looks and tastes on fresh. I took big bowls so 5 proteins inside, can’t finish at one round. Portions are honest and huge. Plenty choices of sauces and toppings. Inside tables and chairs looks little bit aged but I took to go so that didn’t bother me. Plenty of parking spaces. Definitely recommend that place.

Clean, fast line, great service. Poke bowl was delicious and had good portions. So many different choices for sauces and toppings, although it was kind of a bummer that they didn't have edamame. Will visit again next time I'm in town!

Portion size is great, food is delicious (got a large poke bowl) but the atmosphere is crummy. Greeted by oddly arranged tables that make it completely uninviting and then it smells very strongly of cleaning chemicals. The music choice was strange as well. Get your food to go I guess?

The food here was tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. I came here for their famous sushi burger, which fell apart in 2 minutes without even touching it. It was still a good bite while eating it with a fork. The service could be better. My party arrived 30 minutes before closing so I think some of the workers were moody and were unable to deliver good service. I'll be back, if I happen to be near the area.

Very very very - mid. They have a complicated menu which offers many protein items, however their veggie/fruit items are very minimal. They went overboard on trying to make fancy sauces but then fail to offer standard ponzu/soy sauces on the menu (you have to ask for those). I went at about 6pm, there were 2 people ahead of me ordering and one employee on a break- no one else in the lobby. Still, the counter was filthy. Many of the items had spilled out and never wiped up. They packed in a lot of rice - and it was unpleasantly warm. I found the fish to be fresh, didn't have any off aromas. -2 stars for the lack of cleanliness, menu clarity, veggie/fruit offerings. Too much focus on hot cheetos. Overpriced.

I was super excited to try the sushi wrap with hot Cheetos but it was just okay. This place was just mediocre, nothing to boast about

If you are in the area and craving Poke, this is an ok place. The dining area is nice and they have different flavored rice. Fish is good and employees are nice.

I decided to try this place for the first time after I was coming home from work. I would say the atmosphere was nice. Something I didn’t like is that they charge you $.25 extra sauce which I’ve never experienced that. The food tasted pretty good, But when I was about finished, I found a piece of hair in my food and I couldn’t tell if it was hair or seaweed salad so that was a bit of a turn off from eating. Right after I finished I started to feel not so good And ended up getting horribly sick for the rest of the night.

Ordered my daughter a poke bowl and for some reason they cooked my protein. I never asked for cooked. Too far and tired to go back. She's ordered there before and she never had specify to not cook.

If you like sloppy joe poke, I guess it would be good. First time there and probably last time. It's nothing compared to poke spots I've been too. Decided to go there based off pics and reviews. Too bad, had high hopes.

DONT ORDER ON UBEREATS. I’ve had this place twice in person and they weren’t bad as long as the employee doesn’t mess up your order. (Yes it happened 1 of 2 of my in person visits) I decided to order delivery this past Tuesday and they didn’t have their order tablet on. I had to call them and they finally turned it on past 2pm. My order arrived with incorrect ingredients, very light or even missing and inc correct sauces, and adding things that I didn’t want (masago etc) My order was nearly $50 for two bowls. I am extremely disappointed.

Unfortunately the worst Poke bowl I’ve ever had. First of all how is Avacodo considered a protein?? That should be a topping. So I ordered the 3 protein and basically only got two fish options. That was a bummer. Over all the mix of fish to other options is just off. No balance in flavor. They don’t help you making sure you order something delicious. Overall unhappy with flavor here. And corn just doesn’t mix well.

i first went to this place last year. the food was good but i had a disturbing experience when i went up to ask for more sauce—i saw roaches crawling around near the food which made me feel sick. i left that day thinking i wouldn’t come back. other than that the staff was pretty friendly. now a few days ago. even though i didn’t plan on returning, my coworker who raved about the food convinced me to try it again on our lunch break as my initial experience was a long time ago. i wasn’t really hungry or convinced but i went along anyway. now even he’s stopped going there. this time we saw multiple flies landing on the food and i overheard the workers talking about a rat problem in the place. we left shortly after. they didn’t even noticed because they were in the back. it’s clear cleanliness is lacking. i hope they learn from this.

Overall the fish quality is mediocre and the sauce isn't something to craze about. The portions (of protein) aren't what they should be, plus everything is a lot more pricey than other Poke Spots.

Been here a few times. Last two times had questions about the fish. Didn’t seem fresh. Last time , my son got horribly sick after eating here. Never again. Check the freshness of the fish.

Place was DIRTY! Honestly I wanted to walk out but my kids were beyond hangry already having a meltdown and set on poke. I’ve been here years ago and it was not like that. It was so grimy black on the floors and up the cabinets. Looking and the fish bar it did not look fresh. I really risked it here. Raw fish is not something to question. I was too scared to see what the bathroom looked liked based on this and the fact that I could slightly smell a bathroom smell when we walked in.
