User Reviews

Love love love this place! The fish is fresh, a ton of side options (including avocado at no additional charge!!), and large portions. I love their broccoli for the base. And they have a greatly priced drinks menu. Note that you can't change the sugar levels tho.

Delicious sushi bowl place. Fresh ingredients and kind staff. The protein portions are a little small but the quality is good. You choose your protein scoop size, then the base and add your toppings and sauce.

I was looking around online for something light to eat nearby after a day at South Coast Plaza that was budget friendly and Urokocafe came up in my search. It might be easy to pass by at first since their entrance is actually in the back. I got to the location by going through the Chevron station. As a fan of Poke, I'm always up to trying a new Poke spot. Like other Poke restaurants, they offer build-your-own-bowl options. While most places offer 2-4 scoops of protein they actually offer up to 5 scoops of protein if wanted. There's a variety of bases, sides, proteins, sauces, & toppings to choose from. They even offer vegan meat and tofu for people that are plant-based. You can also order appetizers, pre-made bowls, a kid's bowl, or even miso soup. Another option that makes them unique is that they offer sushi and hand rolls. So if you're not in the mood to have a big bowl then you can order sushi rolls instead. I opted to get a 2 scoop of protein bowl which I very filling for me since I had a big lunch earlier. The service is fast & friendly. The simple yet modern design makes for a relaxing place to eat at. In terms of value, Uroko Cafe offers reasonable prices considering the quality and portion sizes. There's plenty of seating to eat there or you can always take it to-go. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely check out Urokocafe for some good poke.

I visited Uroko Cafe in Costa Mesa today for the first time, excited to try their offerings based on the positive Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. I ordered a 3 scoop poke bowl, but my disappointment began with the rice. It was stale, lacking the freshness and texture I had hoped for. Moving on to the fish, I found that some pieces were bland, lacking the flavorful punch I associate with quality poke. Even worse, a few of the fish pieces tasted past their expiration, leaving a rather unpleasant aftertaste. To add to my disappointment, the spicy miso sauce that accompanied the dish was excessively salty, overwhelming the other flavors and making it difficult to enjoy the meal. On a slightly positive note, the gyoza I tried wasn't terrible, but it certainly didn't make up for the other shortcomings. Perhaps I set my expectations too high, considering the glowing reviews I had read. However, based on my experience today, I have to say that Uroko Cafe was underwhelming overall. I do acknowledge that everyone can have an off day, so if I find myself in the area again, I'll give it another chance. Hopefully, my next visit will yield a more enjoyable experience and a review worth sharing.

great poke fix, one of the few places that offers cheap poke but very filling I got 2 scoops and they filled up my bowl/plate they also offered free miso soup if you check in from another app

This is my favorite poke place!! The food quality is great, the prices are reasonable (they don't even charge extra for avocado!) They have wide bowls for the poke, which makes mixing and eating much easier. They now serve sushi, as well. It's a good sized place, so there's always a seat available.

My husband and I always go here when we don't know what to have for dinner : ) There have many choices! In addition, the fish and vegetables are fresh, so you can eat them with confidence. There are many kind staffs, so the atmosphere is also so nice. And agave syrup is used for boba. This is the wonderful feeling of the owner who wants you to eat healthy food as much as possible! We will definitely come back here soon!

you can eat raw fish. originaly japanese food, but made as american restaurant. so l can recommend either american and asian.
