Dive into the vibrant world of Mainland Poke, where sustainable fish takes center stage in customizable bowls, accompanied by a breezy patio for sunny LA lunches.
"This poke spot takes the raw-fish and rice trend to the next level care of Ari Kahan and executive chef Kayson Chong (most known from his work at BOA). The Chipotle-style customization makes this spot a go-to for just about any eater. The high-quality fish is highlighted by the delicious sauces and unique add-ins. This spot hit 3rd St. just in time for summer." - Onyx
"Lucky for you, you go to school in the poke capital of the continental U.S. There are a lot of places around town where you can get a beautiful, fresh bowl of chopped raw fish over rice - but our go-to is Mainland." - katherine lewin
"Oh my god, Bikram was goddmn btch this morning and you need sustenance. NOW. Mainland Poke busted out in a big way this year, providing fresh daily poke in a Yogurtland-type setting to a part of town who wants every part of that concept. It’s also delicious and presumably healthy if you don’t do the sriracha aioli, which you clearly are." - brant cox
"Mainland Poke is the poke place West 3rd Street deserves. It’s pretty, you can switch out the usual rice for kale (because California), and you can make your bowl any which way you want. You can combine a number of proteins - tuna and salmon is our move - pile on the toppings, and go to town with the spicy shoyu sauce." - jess basser sanders
"The inevitable Instagram bait like Sweetfin, Salt & Straw, and Fuku come back to flood social media for a few weekends in April." - Matthew Kang
