A tiny little alcove tucked away in a residential neighborhood. The prices are reasonable and so the toppings are scant with some Vidalia onions and cucumber. There are some tables to dine outside and really it is a no frills serve which is great. The only small thing though is they do not provide water.

I’ve been here several times in the last month and every time has been incredible. The fish is so so fresh and the poke bowls are filling but not heavy! I always have gotten the ahi and octopus because it’s just so good!!

Great little hole in the wall poke spot. Always busy, fast ordering. Great place to sit and relax with food.

This is sort of a local gem. Best poke you’ll have within 80 miles. Ingredients super delicious and fresh. Nothing beats it after a surf session. It is a bit of a bummer that they’re closed on Monday’s and tuesdays, but good for them. Whatever the case may be… they’re serving up the best food on the days they’re open. My go to items are the spicy tuna and octopus. I’ll add on ginger, imitation crab and seaweed salad. They do charge extra for some toppings… but at the end… your getting the best seafood in a poke bowl.

Best Poke place in South OC, maybe even all of OC! High quality ingredients with simple flavors that remind me of real Hawaiian poke. Make sure to order a couple fresh made perfectly sauced Shrimp Tempura and eat them immediately! Not a lot of first bites better than that...

Very enjoyable poke take out. There is also a very nice park nearby, Pines Park, if you would like to enjoy the meal with an ocean view.

This is one of the best/or even the best poke place in San Clemente. The poke is so fresh, and delicious! This is not a full build it yourself poke, they have certain fish options, and then separate additions to include. Even though they don't have everything the fish is great. Check their hours before you go because they are only open certain days.

Grilled salmon was the tail, super fatty and cold. If you ask for it to be warm they will microwave it. It's tasty but would not order it since there's not much meat for $3.90. The tuna and crab was the best part. There aren't salad options for low carb unless you get cabbage which wasn't the best. The large is pictured but wasn't very large like other reviews. Minimal toping and sauce options compared to other poke places.

One of the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given. Locally owned and operated, fresh, fast, customized. Everything you need in your new go-to poke spot! Don’t forget to add in a few jumbo shrimps!!! ?

The price is a little higher than other spots I frequent for poke but the quality of the fish makes it worth that. The take out line was busy but the employees were friendly as well as accommodating while the wait was not very long at all. I will be back to try the other fish on the menu. Highly recommended.
