About

Poki Poki at 1042 North El Camino Real in Encinitas's New Encinitas district builds Hawaiian-style poke bowls from sushi-grade fish sourced through Pacific-coast suppliers, with salmon, ahi tuna, octopus, and shrimp as the core protein cuts. The build-your-own format layers a rice or salad base with unlimited included toppings—seaweed salad, cucumber, edamame, dried garlic, tempura bits—then finishes with house sauces, a raw-fish customization model that shares the made-to-order ethos of omakase-adjacent counters like Kaito Sushi on South Coast Highway 101. A second Encinitas location at 166 North El Camino Real and additional outposts in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Huntington Beach, and Temecula expand the same poke-bowl format across Southern California. Poke Nacho platters—wonton chips topped with marinated raw fish, avocado, and sauce drizzle—require 48-hour advance ordering and serve as the catering anchor alongside the standard bowl menu, filling the same seafood-forward niche on El Camino Real as the fish-taco program at Wahoo's Fish Taco nearby. A San Diego County health inspection score of 91 out of 100 covers cold-hold compliance critical to sashimi-grade protein storage, with each fish variety maintained at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit from delivery through final bowl assembly.
