1. Pokinometry (Anaheim)

Pokinometry is a new and delicious poke restaurant, located in Anaheim. Here, they allow customers to customize their own bowls with a wide selection of fresh seafood and toppings. Although the bowls look small, they are very filling and packed to the brim, which makes it well worth the money. Not only are they extremely delicious, but they are reasonably priced as well. A big plus is that they don’t charge extra for avocado or crabmeat.

2. H2O Poke and Grill (Tustin)

Customers are allowed up to three choices, out of many options. After their choices of protein, customers are given as many types of toppings as desired. However, keep in mind that certain toppings come with an extra charge. Overall, they give a generous portion for a reasonable price of $8.99 per bowl.

3. Calipoke (Costa Mesa)

Calipoke is located at the Lab Anti Mall, in Costa Mesa. The parking here is very tight, considering the mall itself is very small and intimate. This poke joint serves very fresh fish, which is why it is pretty popular. The prices for a poke bowl vary depending on the size, but it is a pretty fair price.

4. Full Moon Sushi (Huntington/Orange)

Full Moon Sushi is not only popular for their sushi rolls, but also for their poke bowl. They may not allow customers to create their own bowl, but the bowls they have prepared are out of this world. Also, while visiting this restaurant, customers are open to other options, such as various types of different sushi rolls, rather than just a poke bowl.

5. Kawamata seafood (Dana Point)

Kawamata Seafood is located in Dana Point. This restaurant is a small little place that has very few parking spots and customers are usually better off street parking. Also, Kawamata Seafood only takes cash. They serve an amazing style of Hawaiian poke, with their wide range of extremely fresh and delicious fish. The toppings are an extra dollar for each one a customer chooses, which adds up if a customer is big on toppings. However, at the end, everything comes together nicely and is overall very satisfying.
