Poki Cat - Poke and Salad - Mission Viejo 23981 Alicia Parkway, Mission Viejo, CA 92691

"I normally don’t like to write bad reviews, but this one was a big disappointment. Got my bowl with brown rice, the rice was not good, half of it was extremely dry and hard. Don’t know if it was because of the employee that day, my bowl was not even full. Portions of fish were small, I got the 5 scoops but probably less than or equal to 3 scoops at other places. He was very stingy with toppings as well, don’t think I’ve ever gotten that little seaweed salad at any poke place I’ve been to."

"Food is mediocre at best. They have Pepsi so that should tell you everything you need to know. They serve the poke with hot rice which is a bit strange. I'm not sure where it's coming from but my Salmon poke had a distinctive taste of canned tuna. I'm wondering if they cut the "crab" meat with canned tuna. Guy making the bowls was working at 0.75x speed, like he had just woken up and didn't really want to be there. All in all, it's not the worst I've had but I'm definitely not going back unless it's the only place open and I'm starving....even then I may think about it."

"The poke was fresh and delicious which is exactly what you want. My only complaint is that it’s the same price as my favorite poke place back in RSM and almost half the portion size. Definitely still in the top grouping of poke places though for taste and quality."

"It was a Poli place. 11:30 am on a Tuesday, not much really going on. The place was empty with two staff members. Both of them were very nice, big smiles and helpful. This is long second time eating Poki ever, so they had to walk me through the ordering process and the different elements for me to create my own Poki bowl. Nice experience overall. My bowl was good, full of flavor and very tasteful, I had sushi rice (Sticky rice), shrimp, salmon , tuna, cucumbers, cilantro, avocados, crunchy garlic and soy sauce. I think that was all. Will definitely try it again if I am in the area. It’s right off the 5 south, on Alicia Parkway!"
