Poki Poki Carlsbad - Boba & Brewski

About

Poki Poki Carlsbad in the heart of Carlsbad Village combines Hawaiian poke bowls, boba tea, and craft beer from its Oak Avenue storefront steps from the beach. The build-your-own bowl format starts with sushi-grade fish sourced from Pacific Ocean catches, a raw-fish foundation that parallels the robata-and-sushi program at Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar on nearby Carlsbad Village Drive. Ahi tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, seared ahi, scallops, and shrimp serve as protein options layered over white or brown rice with a customizable spread of toppings and house sauces. The "Brewski" side of the concept stocks Hawaiian Sun drinks and a rotating craft-beer selection alongside a full boba tea menu spanning classic milk tea to fruit blends. That dual sweet-and-savory format fits a Carlsbad Village block where post-beach foot traffic splits between poke bowls and the house-churned gelato at GelatoLove Carlsbad Village nearby. The counter assembles each bowl from up to six sushi-grade proteins and 15-plus topping options—including masago, seaweed salad, crispy onion, and wasabi—producing a fully customized raw-fish build in under two minutes.
