Pokeworks — Restaurant in Brea

I had an amazing experience at Pokeworks! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy yet stylish — perfect for a relaxed evening out.

The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Poke Burrito, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was beautifully presented. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and high-quality.

Drinks were also spot-on, especially the P.O.G, and dessert was the perfect finishing touch.

Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

I also want to give a special shoutout to our server, Koleen, who truly went above and beyond to make our evening exceptional. They were friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and had great recommendations from the menu that turned out to be spot-on. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely enjoys what they do, and it really showed in the way she took care of our table. Small touches — like checking in at just the right times and remembering our preferences — made a big difference.

Thank you, Koleen and Jerry, for making our night even better. You’re a real asset...

I’m seriously blown away by how good everything was. I tried the spicy salmon and tuna charred and wow—cannot skip out on that! Perfectly balanced, fresh, and packed with that smoky kick I didn’t know I needed. The Dynamite Shrimp Plate is another standout— flavorful, and totally crave-worthy.

But let’s talk about the mac salad… None of that heavy, mayo-overload stuff you find at most places. This one is clean, refreshing, and pairs really well with everything.

Even though the place was super busy, the service didn’t skip a beat. One of the servers actually stepped out from behind the counter just to make sure he got my order right. That kind of care and attention is rare these days.

The food, the service, the vibe—it’s all on point. Pokeworks in Brea has definitely earned a spot in my...
