Pokebowlz - Rancho Santa Margarita

This is my go to poke place. It's the spot I compare every other poke restaurant to, and I haven't found a better one in oc

Best poke in RSM hands down! Compared to other poke places around the area it?s cheaper and has bigger portions, for the same quality!

I?ve eaten poke at many places in my lifetime and this is one of the worst highly rated poke places. poke bowl did not look or taste fresh like other poke restaurants i?ve eaten at. they also didn?t put enough sauce, so the flavor was lacking. there?s also a weird aftertaste (could just be preference?? that i?ve never had before at other places. i dont recommend.

A great poke option! I like how they mix the toppings first and then put it on. Abundant options and super fresh tasting. Often has a long line and a little bit of a wait but it is worth it!

Very surprised the quality was so low. I regularly visit poke locations all over the orange county area , so I am comparing to a half dozen others. Let's start with store layout. As I waited to get my order in customers were confused which way the ordering line went. I was able to identify what to do,. However if I was the business owner I would make a clear sign to help new customers. If you want to grow the business. The menu was not unique by design, just make SML as choices. Food,. The rice was the worst cooked I have received at a poke place. Dry and clumpy and below standard. The tuna was fair, the albacore was ok, the spicy tuna was average. The fake crab was barely edible, and the avocado was watery and odd. The shrimp was like none I have before,. Looked like a pile from a Ralph's grocery store. Service, the attitude of staff was hurried and not very helpful. The serving of the food was not much better. To be fair it would be a difficult job to serve people,. Just like subway. People are not always ready or know what they want. My suggestion is to listen to the customers, if not you won't have any. Serving the Hawaiian style food dish can be fun and is a growing market. So,. I won't be returning to this location, and will stick with higher quality in the area. I raised this review to 2 stars based on the surprisingly positive reviews assuming this was just a bad day for them.
