Poke Pola - Long Beach

I had a bowl with white rice, and lots of spicy tuna, onions, cucumbers, house sauce, masago, crab salad, and a avocado. It was excellent! The crab salad is one of the best I’ve had.

With a line out the door, that is a good sign. Spicy tuna is spicy! Everything was fresh. Portions adequate, but prices were a bit steep.

I was holding off on trying this place for so long. I thought no way there could be a good poke place in Belmont Shore. Finally tried it tonight and it will be my go to for now on. Super fresh. Great sauce. Menu is simple but the food is great. Other poke places I’ve tried and how I’d rank them after Poke Pola: #2 Lazy Acres (I know… also unexpected) #3 Poki Cat #4 Poke Plus (served by the pound. Not a poke bowl place. Good but just a bit salty to me) #5 Sugarfin (not exclusive to Long Beach though. Not bad, not great. Lots of menu options but not that fresh) #6 Poke Bar (just… don’t)

Finally had the chance to try it out, and I enjoyed the food. Big portion for the price. Price is similar to many other poke places. Tasted fresh and jus delicious. Will be back

This is one of my faves in the LBC. On 2nd Street and just half a mile from Mother’s Beach. Here, tuna, salmon, yellowtail with everything...made to order. Support your local businesses!
