Poki Cat

I was very excited for this place. Don’t get me wrong the staff was super nice but man the fish here isn’t fresh at all! My spicy tuna was like purple pink. Iv never seen tuna that color and the salmon was super tuff…. Salmon tough….. salmon is supposed to be opposite. they had rice that wasn’t cooked all the way. The sauces offered sounded good but wow it was a dissapointed on how much they don’t season it. I spent $50 bucks…… what a waste.

Now is the time to try something new! Another new Poki Cat location for all Poki lovers this is the place. Located in central downtown Long Beach upscale Promanade. Management is very friendly, staff is very well trained. Very healthy menu selections. If raw isn't your thing they will cook any of your selection for a small charge.

I feel badly writing a negative review during these times when COVID has hit everyone so hard. But what I got at Poki Cat was vile. The scallops were partially dried-out and smelled and tasted fishy, and some of the salmon was obviously older than the rest and had a slimy texture. There were bones in the salmon, as well as a good bit of connective tissue. The salad greens had begun to go brown. On top of all that, they weigh the fish scooped into the bowl, and I suppose there was very slightly "too much" in my bowl because they scooped exactly one piece of salmon back. Honestly, I will never go back because I've never had anything but excellent food at PokeBar, which is right around the corner. I understand times are rough, but this is raw seafood. It has to always be 100% fresh, no matter what. Scallops should never taste or smell fishy that way. I ended up just throwing it out because I was worried about getting sick.
