I always enjoy it here. Not fancy, buy good. A lot of good for the $$$!

A
Amanda

Best teriyaki in town for years now, plus awesome poke bowls. Can't beat it

J
Jordan Dodge

To me, the quality of a poke spot is based on the quality of fish and the sauces and this place crushes both! Also super generous with the portions. Avocado? Free! Don’t want seaweed salad? Here’s an extra scoop of crab meat! I always make it a point to come here when I’m in the area and it never disappoints. Hopefully they never change!

C
Chef Nikki

I like this place and love their chicken plate. I sometimes order extra meat depending on my appetite. I am happy about the new poke bowl menu item. I am going to come back and order mine with salad bay scallops, polo sauce, spicy mayo with green onions. YUMMY!

S
Sean McGee

My new favorite go to. Staff here is incredibly friendly and upbeat. They remember the little details of how we order every time we go in. And the poke I could just eat endlessly, which is good because they give you PLENTY of food, especially for how cheap it is. Lots of options, lots of toppings. I can't get enough of the albacore and octopus.

F
Fernando Landry

This place is obviously one of the finest place to eat in the neighborhood. Always when I come there I am exceedingly happy. They manage their very high level service and the topmost level of meals they offer. You always win with this restaurant. Highly recommended.

J
John Pham

Small mom and pop poke joint with generous scoops of fish and unique sauce offerings. This is one of my favorite poke places to eat because of the sauces! The creamy Hawaiian sauce is bomb. It is the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and creamy goodness. I usually get it on the side to dip my fish in. The portions here are generous and the fish is sliced thicker than most poke places I've been to. Service is always friendly which is why I think there is always a line. Almost like a little neighborhood cult following cause everyone seems to be a local regular. They have other food offerings that are cooked such as chicken teriyaki if someone in your group doesn't eat raw.

S
Sally Elbassir

I love love love Poke and am so glad that I discovered Poki Yaki nearby so I don't have to drive all the way to Anaheim to get a good bowl. I like that the bowls are more or less "all-inclusive" with crabmeat, seaweed, sesame - the whole shebang. If you want avocado, that's really the only extra thing you have to pay for. Sure beats paying by topping! The fish was all really fresh and with the mix of toppings and different sauces, I was a happy camper! Get the large. It's totally worth the extra dollar and you'll actually be full. Service was friendly although the two guys kept making inside jokes to each other which was weird. Whatever. Will def be back here for my next poke fix!

K
Katrina Peterson

This my favorite Poki place. Good price and employees are always friendly. Fish is fresh and plenty :-) for those who don't like raw fish they have different options like beef bowls that are pretty good too.

E
Edward Hernandez

The staff was welcoming, friendly, and patient. The food and sauces were delicious but most impressive was the serving amount. A large at my local poke place leaves me feeling hungry. This one filled me up halfway.

C
Christoff Brakmo

First of all, they didnt ask for a review, they deserve it, cause they pack it up!! I never leave sushi/poke places full... ever. I buy em cause they’re healthier. Wow. I live in Baja and this place gives you even MORE bang for your buck... wow! Plus its good!

C
Carolyn Delgado

Yummy! A little hidden gem at the corner of La Palma and Beach Blvd. I love supporting local restaurants. It is not difficult to support this local restaurant. Healthy, wide selection of meats and fresh! Got the large bowl and it was filling. Super sweet server, too!

G
Geeking Hippo

This is my second time here for a quick lunch. The fish is very good and the portions are fairly good for the price. A large size poke between two people is great for a light lunch

J
Jeff Willson

Super good! I got the large and it was huge, I could have gone with the regular and been fine. It's got a yummy mix of good fish. Then you can mix in a sause or a couple sause. They also have chow mein and teriyaki stuff which was great for my 4 year old since she was a little weirded out about the fish (more for me)

J
Jeffrey Lee

Hands down the best. I work locally and visit this place at least twice a week (also order one to go). Regular now for almost a year. Great staff and amazing fresh sushi. Keep up the great work! 😃

I needed my Poke fix, and saw this place as we were driving to our hotel. Got a large Poke bowl to go. Only thing was that they were out of avocado!! Oh no!! I was not disappointed though! It was absolutely, delish!!

Zane Barazi

I come here for the fresh fish. Poke is hit or miss sometimes but I've never had a bad experience here when it comes to quality. Probably the best place for miles.

A strong café. Not extraordinary but rather not expensive - incredible incentive for the cash. Amazing Asian foods. Strong yet little wine list.

I've been going to this place since it opened in 2014. Service is fast and food is amazing! Everyone is friendly and did I say the food is amazing because it really is.

So fresh and so delicious! Little to no wait, but clean and well staffed. Prices were on average with other poke establishments.

P
Peter Corley

I still prefer Pokenometry, but this was so great Poke. Closer to my work as well. Friendly service and good prices , everything tasted great, just a little to much sauce for my taste.

B
Brittany Bentley

I travel and eat a lot of poke in places and this place was a top favorite. The fish was very fresh, generous portion and delicious sauce. I would eat here all the time if I lived close.

C
Charlie Lister

Wonderful place! Staff is super friendly. I got a regular bowl with salmon and purple rice. The sauce was really good and the selection of toppings and fish. Highly recommend of you like poké

J
J Fitzgerald

Been going to this place for quite a while now. Food is nice and fresh; the ladies at the counter are very attentive and helpful. They had a new item, purple rice, on their menu and happily obliged a request for a taste. Their Spam musubi is simple but tasty. Their new layout from their renovation makes it feel more comfortable and spacious for dine in. I'll keep coming back for more.

R
Rachel Russo

I just wanted to write a quick review on my delivery order from Poki Yaki. The service provided was efficient and my medium poke bowl didn't lack in presentation being that it came early. Both quality and quantity were quite present in my medium poke bowl. ++Very satisfied with my protein choices (tuna, spicy tuna & salmon) as the fish seemed very fresh was really fresh and well-proportioned. Definitely provided more fish than what their local competitors offer. ++

A
Angie Reed

We're locals and love going here! Freshest poke around, good people running it and working the front, always feel welcome when we come in. They have a great variety of toppings at a very reasonable price.

J
Joseph Castrellon

I loved this place when it was Tokyo teriyaki. Even when they changed their name to Poke Yaki, they still sold their original teriyaki menu in addition to the poke. Well, the days of that teriyaki chicken bowl with fried shrimp are over, and its too bad because they had the best teriyaki in town. Their poke, however, is quite excellent, but ill never go back because they gave up on a good thing for something else I dont want as much. If youre into poke, which i am, this is a great place for that. Im just moving on.

Scott Alex

This is my go to poki spot! Try the purple rice! Supposed to be more nutritious and tastes like regular rice. I love the sauces they have here and the bowls are huge and filling! I am a glutton and medium can fill me up Not many people eat here. Always tables available

Nestled inside behind a Chase Bank on Beach and La Palma Ave is a small but decent poki place been coming here for quite some time. My wife and I decided to swing by a little after 12:30 pm on a Saturday. The place had a new layout but still the area. Their fish is fresh and doesn't have any fishy smell that's noticeable if the fish becomes old. Serving sizes are generous on all fish and mixings. The attendants where both courteous and listens to whatever you want added in short service was promptly done on all your orders.

This place has more options than any other pokie place I have been to. I was amazed that Hot Cheetos were among options here. Would recommend over Pokilicious as the staff are a lot more friendly and hospitable.

Tasty healthy food and good customer service: rice and tuna weren't real fresh (too dry if chef Ramsey were to score it) - great value though - I enjoyed it and will eat here again.

Damn good. The regular bowl is MORE than enough to satisfy. Well worth it! I will be back. For a gym guy like me, this is the spot!

Kenya Pacheco

This last visit felt a bit awkward, but it's pretty good here! The food tastes great and the portions are pretty large for the price.

S
Sharon Clark

Good quality fresh fish. Sauces are good nice options for Poki. They have bowls and shine some sushi too.

A
Abigail Hartman

One vegetarian option and good customer service. The food is typical of most teriyaki resturants though rather fresh and a bit smaller quantities.

E
Erika Rodriguez

Pretty good and good portioning a bit small. Parking is a hassle not sure if it's of the timing...but it is close to Knotts so traffic is there

P
Parker Dolson

This place is a toss up, most of the time it's really good, but some of the staff really skimp on how much fish they put it and just overload on sauce and onions. I don't want to pay $10 for a bowl that's 85% rice and 10% sauce. But the times that they do put a decent amount make for a great poke bowl, and the fish is always fresh.

k
katherine buff

Love this place, but compared to when they open the prices have gone up expeditiously. More than the regular trends. The food is still really good. But it needs to change from one dollar sign to two

K
Kyle Blake

Get a beef and chicken teriyaki and small drink. It's $8 and I never finish it. Always have friendly workers, been going here for over a decade. Some of the best teriyaki in town! A great place to go to lunch/dinner if you're visiting Knott's!

Had a Poke bowl last night, and easily ordered online for Pickup using Google Maps/Postmates. The bowls are very hearty and delicious. The crab meat was super yummy, and I ordered another scoop. However, for the price, I felt like the scoop sizes are too small. I have been to other poke places where they are more generous with their portion sizes. These small little cubes of fish are definitely not enough for me, and I think that I can see why others have complained.

Ubicado detrás de un Chase Bank en la avenida Beach y La Palma, hay un pequeño pero decente restaurante de comida rápida. Llevo viniendo aquí bastante tiempo. Mi esposa y yo decidimos pasarnos un sábado poco después de las 12:30. El local tenía una distribución nueva, pero seguía siendo el mismo. El pescado es fresco y no desprende ningún olor a pescado que se note si se pone viejo. Las raciones son generosas, tanto en pescados como en mezclas. Los camareros fueron corteses y atentos a cualquier petición que se les añadiera. El servicio, breve y rápido, se realizó con todos los pedidos.

Hilary Williams

The poke here is ok, not great. Brown rice was very dry and proportioned too much compared to other ingredients. I paid $22+ for the 5 scoops (of protein), tax and 15% tip.

J

Good food for a good price. I was deterred from here originally by a previous post but after a recommendation from a friend I finally tried it. Many lunches since i still come here once a week. Sauce is made from scratch and the chicken is hearty. Expect to spend 5-9 depending on your appetite or if you get a drink, my suggestion is to go to coffee code next door and get one of their shakes with a chicken bowl. ^_^ enjoi

Food is good but unfortunately the staff does not use gloves to prepare bowls.

I was looking for a nice and local poke spot in Buena Park and Im lucky to come across this place. Not to extraordinary about the quality but its very convenient instead of driving down PCH for some poke. I recommend trying their half rice and sald with albacore, tuna, and octopus with ponzu sauce! A perfect bite and almost guilt free:)

D
Darla Ochoa

Poli is good here I just didn’t appreciate the guy not giving me my whole change back . I guess he decided to give himself a tip?? Yeah it’s just 1$ and some change but you shouldn’t feel comfortable doing this…

El poke aquí está bien, no es excelente. El arroz integral estaba muy seco y demasiado proporcionado en comparación con los demás ingredientes. Pagué más de $22 por las 5 cucharadas (de proteína), impuestos y una propina del 15%.

DO NOT GO THERE. SERIOUSLY. THEY GIVE YOU SO LITTLE CHICKEN AND BEEF. YOU CAN PRACTICALLY EAT ALL THE CHICKEN IN ONE SPOON FULL.!!!!!! GO TO MOS 2. THEY ARE WAY BETTER AND GIVE YOU MORE YOUR YOUR BUCK.

The portion is terrible..! My salmon was only 4 small dice and the tuna is the same .. I got 5 chop shrimp.. 😲 OMG..!

J

Food is good but the people treat you very poorly. It sucks cause the food isn't that bad but they really don't care about you here

A
Amy Montoya

Atmosphere was very relaxed but a little empty. The food was terrible. The salmon tasted warm and slimy and they didn't add enough sauce at all to my order. I had to ask for extra sauce and it's still didn't feel like it was enough. When eating everything combined it felt like nothing was seasoned at all, it was just a slimy unseasoned mess.

I've been eating much less than I used to, especially compared to two months ago.

Gave only 1/2 oz of sauce, if any at all. Worst poke place I’ve been to

B
Bindi Babs

Twice I’ve been turned away after driving 20 minutes to this spot. First time they said they close at 8:30pm even though online it clearly says 9pm . Today I arrived at 8:00pm exactly and while she was taking an order from two other guests, she refused to take my order because “policy is policy “ and they close at 8pm ?! This was truly disappointing and frustrating. Won’t be risking the drive ever again .

D
Dorcas Spears

Worse food, I will never go TokyoTeriyaki . I ordered a combo bowl,however not much meats and not enough rice. The meat were dry, I ate it was the meat chew and not fresh. The meat had sat few hours before served. I complained that food are not fresh or not hot. I wanna &$$# money back. They refused. The owner is not nice and their workers not friendly. Stink service. I recommend you go to Golden Bowl down street is next to Panda Express. Golden Bowl is better taste fresh food and friendly. Don't go Tokyo Teriyaki.

B
Banh Mi

Please don't come here. The sauce tasted funny and there wasn't enough protein. There was a lot of rice in there and overall, don't get your money wasted at this place if you want to get poke here.

Guía de Poki Yaki

# Poki Yaki: Un Destino Culinario en el Corazón de Buena Park

Buena Park, en el condado de Orange, California, es una ciudad que a menudo se asocia con la diversión familiar y el entretenimiento vibrante. Conocida por sus parques temáticos y atracciones icónicas, esta localidad también alberga una escena culinaria diversa y en constante evolución, que satisface desde los paladares más tradicionales hasta aquellos en busca de nuevas y exóticas experiencias. En este dinámico entorno, establecimientos como Poki Yaki, ubicado en 7855 La Palma Ave #4, se integran perfectamente, ofreciendo opciones que reflejan las tendencias gastronómicas actuales y la demanda de sabores frescos y convenientes.

Buena Park, con su estratégica ubicación en el sur de California, se ha transformado a lo largo de los años de una comunidad agrícola a un próspero centro turístico y residencial. Su historia está marcada por el desarrollo de importantes atracciones que atraen a millones de visitantes anualmente, lo que a su vez ha impulsado el crecimiento de una infraestructura de servicios robusta, incluyendo una variada oferta de restaurantes. La ciudad se beneficia de su proximidad a las principales autopistas, facilitando el acceso tanto para residentes como para turistas que buscan explorar sus encantos.

El Encanto Culinario de Buena Park

La gastronomía en Buena Park es un reflejo de su población multicultural y su flujo constante de visitantes. Aquí se pueden encontrar desde restaurantes de alta cocina hasta establecimientos de comida rápida, pasando por auténticos bistrós étnicos y conceptos innovadores de "fast-casual". La tendencia hacia la comida saludable, fresca y personalizable ha ganado un terreno significativo, y es en este contexto donde propuestas como Poki Yaki encuentran su nicho.

La ciudad de Buena Park, aunque conocida por sus grandes atracciones turísticas, también es un lugar donde las comunidades locales disfrutan de una alta calidad de vida y acceso a una amplia gama de servicios. Esta dualidad entre ser un destino turístico y un hogar para sus residentes influye directamente en su oferta gastronómica, que busca satisfacer tanto a quienes buscan una comida rápida y conveniente entre atracciones como a quienes desean una experiencia culinaria regular y de calidad en su día a día.

Poki Yaki: Una Fusión de Sabores en el Corazón de la Ciudad

Poki Yaki, situado en una ubicación accesible en La Palma Avenue, representa una de las tendencias culinarias más populares de los últimos años: la fusión de la cocina japonesa y hawaiana. El nombre mismo del restaurante sugiere esta combinación: "Poki" hace referencia al poke, un plato tradicional hawaiano que ha ganado una inmensa popularidad a nivel mundial, y "Yaki" evoca las técnicas de cocción japonesas como el teppanyaki o el yakitori, que implican asar o freír.

El poke, en su esencia, es un plato de pescado crudo marinado, cortado en cubos y servido con una base de arroz, vegetales frescos y aderezos variados. Su atractivo radica en su frescura, su capacidad de ser altamente personalizable y su perfil nutricional. Los restaurantes de poke permiten a los clientes construir su propio bol, eligiendo la base (arroz de sushi, arroz integral, ensalada), el tipo de pescado (atún, salmón, pulpo, etc.), las salsas y una amplia variedad de toppings, desde aguacate y edamame hasta algas marinas y jengibre encurtido. Esta interactividad y la promesa de una comida saludable y sabrosa han hecho del poke un fenómeno global, y Buena Park no es una excepción a esta tendencia.

Por otro lado, el término "Yaki" en la gastronomía japonesa abarca una amplia gama de preparaciones, desde el "teriyaki" (carne o pescado glaseado y a la parrilla) hasta el "yakitori" (brochetas de pollo a la parrilla) y el "okonomiyaki" (una especie de tortita salada a la plancha). La inclusión de "Yaki" en el nombre de Poki Yaki sugiere que el establecimiento podría ofrecer opciones complementarias al poke, quizás platos cocinados a la parrilla, fritos o salteados, que brindan una alternativa o un complemento a los boles de pescado crudo. Esta dualidad permite al restaurante atraer a una clientela más amplia, incluyendo a aquellos que prefieren opciones cocinadas o que buscan una mayor variedad en su comida.

La Experiencia Culinaria en Buena Park y el Rol de Poki Yaki

Visitar Buena Park es una experiencia que combina emoción y relajación. Después de un día explorando las atracciones locales, las opciones gastronómicas son un componente esencial de la experiencia. Un lugar como Poki Yaki se adapta perfectamente a este ritmo. Su concepto de comida rápida pero saludable es ideal para familias o grupos que buscan una comida nutritiva sin sacrificar tiempo. La posibilidad de personalizar cada plato asegura que haya algo para todos los gustos y preferencias dietéticas.

La ubicación de Poki Yaki en La Palma Avenue lo sitúa en una zona de fácil acceso, rodeado de otras tiendas y servicios. Esta conveniencia es un factor clave en la elección de restaurantes en un área como Buena Park, donde la eficiencia y la accesibilidad son muy valoradas. Los visitantes pueden encontrar aparcamiento con facilidad y disfrutar de una comida rápida y satisfactoria antes de continuar con sus actividades.

El ambiente de los restaurantes de poke y "yaki" suele ser moderno, limpio y funcional, diseñado para una experiencia de comedor casual y eficiente. Se espera un servicio amable y rápido, con énfasis en la frescura de los ingredientes y la presentación atractiva de los platos. Este tipo de establecimiento contribuye a la reputación de Buena Park como un lugar que ofrece una amplia gama de opciones culinarias de calidad, adaptadas a los estilos de vida contemporáneos.

Buena Park: Más Allá de las Atracciones

Para comprender plenamente el contexto en el que opera un restaurante como Poki Yaki, es fundamental conocer más a fondo la ciudad de Buena Park. Aunque mundialmente famosa por Knott's Berry Farm, uno de los parques temáticos más antiguos y queridos de Estados Unidos, la ciudad es mucho más que sus atracciones.

Buena Park fue fundada a finales del siglo XIX como una comunidad agrícola, principalmente conocida por sus cítricos y productos lácteos. Con el tiempo, especialmente a mediados del siglo XX, su destino cambió drásticamente con la llegada de los parques temáticos y el auge del turismo en el sur de California. Knott's Berry Farm, que comenzó como un puesto de bayas y un restaurante de pollo frito, se expandió hasta convertirse en un parque temático de renombre, atrayendo a millones y transformando la economía local. Otras atracciones como Soak City (parque acuático adyacente a Knott's), Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament y Pirate's Dinner Adventure han consolidado la reputación de Buena Park como un centro de entretenimiento familiar.

Esta evolución ha dotado a Buena Park de una infraestructura turística robusta, incluyendo numerosos hoteles, centros comerciales y, por supuesto, una vasta selección de restaurantes. La diversidad de la población, con una fuerte presencia de comunidades asiáticas, hispanas y de otras etnias, ha enriquecido significativamente la oferta culinaria de la ciudad, creando un crisol de sabores que es un atractivo en sí mismo.

La Cultura del Poke y los Platos "Yaki" en California

La popularidad del poke en California, y particularmente en el sur del estado, no es una coincidencia. La cercanía al océano Pacífico garantiza un suministro constante de pescado fresco, un ingrediente clave en el poke. Además, la cultura californiana, con su énfasis en la salud, el bienestar y la alimentación consciente, ha abrazado el poke como una opción nutritiva y deliciosa. El clima templado de la región también favorece el consumo de platos frescos y ligeros durante todo el año.

Los platos "Yaki", por su parte, complementan esta oferta. La cocina japonesa, en general, tiene una gran aceptación en California. Desde el sushi hasta el ramen y los platos a la parrilla, la sofisticación y los sabores umami de la gastronomía japonesa resuenan con los paladares locales. Un restaurante que combina la frescura del poke con la calidez y el sabor de los platos "Yaki" ofrece una propuesta equilibrada que puede satisfacer diferentes antojos y preferencias en una misma visita.

Aspectos Prácticos para el Visitante Culinario

Para aquellos que planean una visita a Buena Park y desean explorar sus opciones gastronómicas, incluyendo Poki Yaki, hay varios aspectos prácticos a considerar:

  • Ubicación y Accesibilidad: Poki Yaki se encuentra en 7855 La Palma Ave #4, una arteria principal en Buena Park. La accesibilidad es generalmente buena, con amplias zonas de aparcamiento en los centros comerciales y plazas donde se ubican estos establecimientos. La proximidad a las autopistas 5 y 91 facilita la llegada desde otras partes del condado de Orange o del área metropolitana de Los Ángeles.
  • Horarios de Operación: Como muchos establecimientos de comida rápida-casual en áreas de alto tráfico, es probable que Poki Yaki opere con horarios extendidos, especialmente durante los fines de semana y las temporadas altas de turismo, para atender la demanda de los visitantes de los parques y los residentes locales. Es recomendable verificar los horarios específicos antes de la visita.
  • Opciones de Servicio: Los restaurantes de este tipo suelen ofrecer opciones para comer en el local, para llevar y, a menudo, servicio a domicilio a través de plataformas de entrega de alimentos. Esto añade una capa de conveniencia para aquellos que prefieren disfrutar de su comida en casa o en su hotel.
  • Consideraciones Dietéticas: La naturaleza personalizable del poke lo hace ideal para diversas dietas. Los clientes pueden elegir bases bajas en carbohidratos (como ensalada), proteínas magras y una gran variedad de vegetales. Las opciones "Yaki" pueden ofrecer alternativas cocinadas para aquellos que no consumen pescado crudo o que buscan una comida caliente. Siempre es aconsejable preguntar sobre los ingredientes y posibles alérgenos.
  • Costo: Los restaurantes de poke y "yaki" suelen ofrecer una excelente relación calidad-precio. Son una alternativa más económica que los restaurantes de servicio completo, pero con la promesa de ingredientes frescos y de calidad. El precio de un bol de poke o un plato "yaki" puede variar según las proteínas y los toppings seleccionados.

La Contribución de Poki Yaki a la Comunidad de Buena Park

Más allá de su oferta culinaria, un establecimiento como Poki Yaki contribuye a la vitalidad económica y cultural de Buena Park. Genera empleo, apoya a los proveedores locales (aunque los ingredientes exóticos como el pescado de atún suelen importarse, muchos vegetales y productos frescos pueden ser de origen local) y añade diversidad a la escena gastronómica de la ciudad. Al ofrecer una opción de comida saludable y sabrosa, mejora la calidad de vida de los residentes y enriquece la experiencia de los turistas.

La presencia de restaurantes que reflejan las últimas tendencias culinarias también posiciona a Buena Park como una ciudad moderna y cosmopolita, capaz de satisfacer los gustos cambiantes de su población y visitantes. Es un recordatorio de que, si bien las atracciones principales son un gran atractivo, la ciudad ofrece una experiencia completa que abarca desde el entretenimiento hasta la gastronomía de calidad.

Conclusión: Un Sabor Esencial en el Tapiz de Buena Park

Poki Yaki, en 7855 La Palma Ave #4, es más que un simple restaurante; es un ejemplo de cómo Buena Park ha abrazado las tendencias culinarias contemporáneas para ofrecer a sus residentes y visitantes opciones diversas y atractivas. Al combinar la frescura y personalización del poke con la calidez y los sabores de los platos "yaki", este establecimiento se posiciona como un destino culinario que satisface la demanda de comidas saludables, rápidas y deliciosas.

Su ubicación estratégica, en el corazón de una ciudad conocida por su energía y su espíritu familiar, lo convierte en una parada conveniente y gratificante. Ya sea que se esté de paso después de un día de aventuras en los parques temáticos, o buscando una opción de comida regular como residente, Poki Yaki representa una faceta esencial del vibrante tapiz gastronómico de Buena Park, ofreciendo un sabor del Pacífico que complementa perfectamente el encanto único de esta ciudad californiana.
