While driving along Pacific Coast Highway, my husband and I stumbled upon a poke shop. We were casually looking for a place to eat, and poke sounded better to me than burgers. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the staff. The ordering process was typical - choose your size, base, sides, veggies, protein, sauces, and toppings. I opted for a large bowl since I was hungry and decided on half brown rice and half salad, with macaroni and seaweed crab salad as my sides. For protein, I chose salmon, tuna, yellowtail, spicy tuna, and scallop. I topped it off with spicy mayo and sesame oil shoyu sauces and furikake sesame seeds. The bowl was quite heavy, although the portion...
Kamea Poke in Dana Point is a fantastic choice for a customizable poke bowl experience. The restaurant offers indoor seating and a wide selection of ingredients for you to choose from. The regular bowl includes three scoops of fish and two sides. I found the tuna to be more preferable than the salmon, which is unusual for me as I typically prefer salmon. The fish was fresh and served at the right temperature. The menu also features a variety of unique sauces, such as cilantro ceviche and miso-chang. Personally, I enjoyed the tangy and herby cilantro ceviche sauce more. The mild shoyu sauce was also excellent, providing a savory flavor without being overly salty or sweet. Despite there being...
I have been coming to Kamea Poke for over 10 years with my wife and ever since Covid, their portion sizes have gotten SO much smaller and prices have gone up. I understand prices going up but what I don't understand is the decrease in portion size its basically been cut in HALF. The training of all the new servers is not adequate as they are only scooping 2 cubes of fish per protein ordered. That is ridiculous for a $15 bowl when you only get 6 to 8 pieces of small cubes of fish on a large bowl 3 protein scoops. This really makes me question if I'll ever come back again. Customer BEWARE you're not going to get enough fish unless they change the way they serve and teach the employees the appr...
The food at this restaurant is decent, but there is one staff member who works incredibly fast and throws the food around haphazardly. This results in the food looking unappetizing and loses my appetite. Additionally, the staff member put an excessive amount of soy sauce on our dishes, making them taste overly salty and unappetizing. The rice was also soaked in soy sauce. If the staff member would slow down and handle the food more carefully, I would consider giving this restaurant 4 stars. It was also noted that there were no other customers waiting in line. While the staff member may think it is impressive to work quickly, it ultimately detracts from the dining experience.

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years because of the fresh food and reasonable prices. However, our experience today was disappointing. One of our friends ordered a regular size portion that was larger than all of our large sizes. Additionally, the server, a blue-eyed girl, only gave us a small spoonful of protein. I was baffled by her actions and when I complained, she argued that other customers pay more. I demanded a refund as the portion of food we received was not what we expected. Food rating: 5/10.
This Poke restaurant is at the bottom of the barrel. Everything here is average, from the cleanliness of the dining area to the quality of the fish and toppings. I wouldn't choose to eat Poke here, but if you're really hungry and have no other options because you're unfamiliar with the area or your phone is missing, then this place will suffice.
One of my favorite poke spots on SC/Dana area!!! It's quick and has the best mix in options. I recommend the spicy tuna and salmon with spicy mayo! The only bummer is a small is not enough fish: I was helped by the sweetest dark haired freckle girl, very smiley and answered all my annoying questions lol
This restaurant serves the best poke ever! They are very generous with the amount of fish and mix-ins they include. The service is top-notch for both dining in and takeout. I give the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5 rating.
