WHAT DID I GET: I got a custom three-scoop bowl with avocado and a bottled water. For my bowl, I got salmon, tuna and albacore. HOW WAS IT: It tasted very fresh and vibrant, and I could taste all the different ingredients and toppings and sauces that went into it. But after I was finished, I was still so damn hungry. Though the poke bowl was delicious, it wasn't very filling or feel substantial. I ended up having to go get a sandwich from next door. HOW MUCH DID IT COST: With tip, it cost a little under $19. WOULD I COME BACK/RECOMMEND THIS PLACE: I want to say yes, but I have to say no, I won't be coming back or recommending this place to others, simply for the fact that I was still so damn hungry after I left this place. And having to pay almost twenty bucks to still be hungry just seems like an absolute waste to me (delicious as it was). I guess eating here makes sense if you're trying to be more healthy or if you're on a diet, but I just wish they found a way to make these things more filling. Also, a note of constructive criticism, I wish they would use larger bowls. The bowls are so small and filled to the brim that it's hard to kinda dig through the ingredients, and get a little bit of everything in one bite. The staff was very friendly and helpful, though. PS, The bathroom door lock was kind of weird and confusing, and it was hard to be sure if I had really locked the door or not. <--Second note of constructive criticism about the location.
Solid poke
Would not recommend this place. Overpriced, limited selection of fish and sauces plus rude staff.. Stay away, there’s better places in town.
Delicious poke. Line can be long and seating is extremely limited.
bello bello, sano buono ed economico
Would be five stars if the spicy tuna didn't cost extra.
The plexi glass is a little off putting but the Shrimp was actually Giant and seasoned well. I would have given a higher rating but they do not sell (Dover) Sole only Basa. They guy behind the counter tried to pass it off as fillet of sole which is not close. It was ok but not what I am use to.
So much fun! The ordering process is fun and you get exactly what you want. Great staff!

Chilled and relaxed poke joint on 3rd street, can get very busy some days but always good service.
This place is amazing! Great fish and awesome toppings. Just writing about it, I'm developing the urge to get my poke fix again...
Small bowls, limited options. The taste is okay but there are far better poke places in the area.
Great fish. I highly suggest building your own poke bowl.
Listen I'll it was one of the first ones around and that's something to be said . I usually get the two scoop with mango and white rice . It's nice that they offer kelp noodles also but I don't think they should charge extra for them . Other than that no complaints!
My favorite poke place
I'm so full! Unlimited toppings
I usually order food from this place through Postmates and UberEATS, have been here many times during last year when there were not that many poke shop in the area. A few days ago i came here with my partner, i had create my own 3 scoops with many toppings including my favorite Sriracha aioli sauce, my partner had pretty much the same. We both loved our poke bowls, the fish was fresh and tasty but my partner complained about the amount we got was less compare to other poke shop. Service: It was friendly especially the lady with the short hair. Well at least this location greet, say thank you and enjoy the food to their customers which i really appreciate it :) The store is pretty clean including the bathroom but very small, that's why i prefer to come here when it's not super busy, they also provide outside sitting area where i usually sit with my friends.
Best poke in Cali!
So much fun! The ordering process is fun and you get exactly what you want. Great staff!
Good
I love this place. Really good Poke.
Fresh Poke. Toppings were on point.
Love this poke place.
one of the best poke place in LA
Yum yum yum all fresh never frozen fish, excellent ingredients and FAST service. I was in and out in 4 minutes, with people in front of me! In even more of a rush than that? Order ahead for immediate pick up 10/10 will be back soon!
Its expensive to get a bowl to fill you up. They didn't have all the add-ins on the menu when i went.
Came here for the first time with my wife. Everyone here is very nice and helpful. They took the time to explain all the options. I'm not sure if she was the manager or the owner but she came around to all the tables to see if anyone needed anything. I would definitely recommend going to Mainland if you are in the area.
2 scopes! Plenty of food
It's not poke, but if you want a bowl of rice with raw fish, a variety of ingredients with soy sauce or a salad dressing poured over it, this place is fine. Overpriced for what it is. Parking is a pain.
I come here a lot, usually in & out in less than 5 minutes. All Fresh fish and good variety.
Everything tastes really good and fresh, specially the wasabi aoili. I didn't like the ginger in my poke bowl but you can always order it without.
They close at 9 on Sunday's and Monday's FYI
Very nice place with amazing poke. All their fish is high quality and fresh. Great service also.
Tasty, very healthy food.
Best poke since my Hawaii Vacation. 5 fish = stuffed. Ahi tuna salmon salmon belly albacore tuna seaweed salad topping avocado gotta try it
So so good. Doesn't take cash
Such a neat little spot with friendly workers ! Surely my favorite in town ! Keep rocking
The price totally worth what you get! The fish are fresh, service was really nice! Only hope the store can be bigger!!
Ordered there off uber eats and they got both bowls COMPLETELY wrong and included something I’m allergic to. Missed many ingredients and added random ones. Don’t order here.
I had a custom 2 scoop bowl, half kale and half brown rice, one scoop salmon and one scoop ahi tuna. The fish was really fresh and enough for one person. I got the big bowl though, its easier to handle and mix everything!
Accidentally came here because I ordered to the wrong restaurant, but having had poke from the other shop I can say it's good quality poke a little bit too expensive. Needs more topping options. Also please fix the online ordering so I don't go to the wrong place again!
Good food. Suppppppper overpriced, even for LA. $15 for a snack essentially
High-quality ingredients make this place worthy of seeking out. Good service as well. Note - tough neighborhood for parking as far as I can tell.
Service is pretty bad and almost no toppings
My favorite poke joint in LA! They have unlimited toppings, a great selection of sauces and top quality fish. Also many options for the base, including zucchini noodles, kale, mixed greens, white and brown rice. I wish they would come to Toronto!!
Yummy, fresh, I like that they offer octopus. Their spicy sesame dressing is really good. Simple ordering process and friendly staff. Wish they had mushrooms as a topping.
Just postmated this place. It was amazing. Such a reasonable price too.
Very delicious, fish was very fresh, seaweed fresh, wonderful light lunch, fast service.
Good food!
I do like flavors here, but compared to other poke spots in town, this place is a horrible value.
Ordered an extra large bowl for delivery and was given a small container. Certainly not large by any stretch. It promised five servings of fish, but found only three. Rice was dry and stale, but warm at least. Called to complain and ask for a refund, but it went to Voice-mail. Never ordering from here again.
Fantastic poke spot. Great selections. Salmon and guns were both very fresh. Helpful, pleasant staff.
Eek! The lady in charge is so rude, I do not want her energy going into my food!
They don't give you enough fish. It's pathetic. Good food, but they make you a sucker.
Great poke bowls
DON'T EAT HERE. Terrible poke bowls. Couldn't eat. Fish was ice cold and smothered in sauce. Manager was rude when I told him about it and wouldn't give me refund.
How can you not love poke , been coming here since it opened hasn’t let me down yet ! Sweetfin is my favorite but was too far for me a for a while . Check out the awesome bowl I got !
I brought my friends here o my second visit here (were all from SF) and they loved it. If you're not looking for a meal I suggest getting a small with extra scoop of fish, don't forget to get the aoilis and I like to put in their coconut milk. During my first visit the owner asked about how there's no poke in SF, hoping he opens one up here.
I love this place, my favorite poke ever. Ask for the wasabi aoili, so good!
Fantastic poke spot. Great selections. Salmon and guns were both very fresh. Helpful, pleasant staff.
Super helpful staff for a newbie poke eater. Fresh and delicious fish. Highly recommend.
Amazingly good Poke. Parking is impossible but the food is great!
This is one of my favorite poke spots. They don't accept cash tho. My only gripe.
Mainland Poke Shop is always my go to Hawaiian spot and its a little dangerous that it's so close to my office. I always order via chownow and pick up the food on my lunch. It's always ready within 15 mins. Yesterday I got the chicken katsu/Kal bi combo and a spam musubi. Unfortunately, they forgot my spam musubi :(. The combo plate was really good though. I liked that the crispy skin didn't fall off when breaking apart the meat.
some GREAT FRESH AHI TUNA IN A GREAT LOCATION. tHE SAUCES ARE AMAZING
New to poke so far so good. Its like a sushi bowl and you can eat the parts you DO like
As a kid who was raised in Los Angeles, going here to grab take out to watch some football was incredible! The variety of combinations took me off guard (in a good way)! My wife and I had such a fun time mixing our bowls! When we got home the food was excellent! My only complaint is open one closer to me (Tucker/Decatur)!!!
Nice place, tasty but a little bit sitting place and topics in u plate.
My order was missing the drink I paid 4$ for and all Toppings for the poke (including one I paid extra for) are missing. They didn’t deliver or put any of the sauces from the bowl. The manager insisted his people did, which is completely incorrect. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere especially when you work a busy schedule, have no lunch break and no time to go back and forth with an u helpful person over the order being wrong!
Was the best poké bowl I had in LA
XL bowl gets you 5 scoops of fish! Ultra fresh. It's like Chipotle for Chirashi bowls.
(Translated by Google) Amazing!!! You have to mount some in Spain !!!! (Original) Increible!!! Hay que montar algunos en España!!!!
Mainland Poke is awesome. The fish was very fresh and had a great experience eating there. Tried one of their bowls from the menu and loved it.
They have the paleo cheesecake jar dessert $7. Paid Meter parking Mon-Sat 8am-8pm, Sun 11am-8pm.
Absolutely worth every penny.
I got the two scoop poke. Rather tasty. I liked it a lot.
Love it
So so good. I am new to poke shops and was sceptical but this place was amazing! Also there was a pregnant girl serving us and she waz so cute and kind. Defenantly recommend giving it a try.
this is how poke should taste !! such good flavors and fresh fish
This place ROCKS. PS - That lady was crazy!! Should have bounced her ass out of there
Food: quite good. A few dollars more than SpinFish. Owner was a bit rude.
My all time favorite poke place
The best poke / fish place in LA. Great quality fish, sugarfish level, and great concept
Friendly staff for the most part, but no one seems to be trained for food allergies. Sent a message to the management, and they immediately said they'd retrain their staff on this and offered me a free bowl, but I'm too scared to eat here already. Someone else might have better luck, but I'm not gambling a trip to the ER or missed work days for an overpriced bowl of poke. Tldr; great restaurant, if you don't have any allergies. If you do, go anywhere else.
This place won’t take cash. I call that pathetic! This fish shack’s motto is “In Plastic We Trust” don’t we have enough plastic waste in the ocean, why encourage more? This place won’t last, it won’t be because of their “powerless” employee, but because it’s responsible for impacting marine life and erasing the fish from the ocean. Could one say, why eat fish? Of course, though it can be sustainably harvested. Pollution probably kills more fish than fisherman can catch. I’m still hungry.
Some of the best poke I've had in LA. Very authentic and delicious!
Accept money, get better quality rice, don’t pay extra for spicy tuna, and get fountain drinks. I was very unhappy when I walked here, we had to pay $30 for something that was $25 because they don’t accept cash. Alteast they let us put our money into a gift card.
Delicious poke! Very helpful staff! A bit pricey, but worth it.
Bad service
Great food
Good poke. Only for types of protine though.
sooooooooo dank
First time eating poke. This place was fresh and delicious
The food was fresh and tasty and very light. The original limeades are bomb and I will definitely be coming back. Be sure to try the sauces they're all delicious.
Good place great staff
Unbelievable, the best place to eat on 3rd Street, and I've tried them all! Cant wait to go back. Very fresh fish and tasty stuff to go with it.
The fish is always fresh. There are a large selection of toppings.
Pretty good place where you can create your own Poke! We went with the So Cal and added some stuff.
Top
First time eating poke and it was so good. It's a bit pricy but you get a lot of food and it tastes amazing. It's Chipotle style where you build your own bowl - they have a ton of awesome toppings. Note that only street parking is available but it was pretty easy to find a spot the day we went. I wish it was closer to where I live but it is definitely worth going out of the way for! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.
Amazing Poke, super fresh, best fish!
Very fresh ingredients and my bowl was delicious! I will definitely go back
Best Poke in the city
Apparently these guys won't give in to sensitive conservatives who don't understand that it is a private establishment. Love the video. Lady was totally in the wrong. Great food and better ethical and moral standards. Kudos.
Disrespectful staff !!!
Fist of all they didn't have the items they advertise,they were out of like five of my favorites.they put my order to the side and they started to help other people and waste about 30 min of my time.There's no parking what so ever and "The manager" was rude when I asked about my order.I'M NOT COMING BACK !!
