Poke Bowl Near Me in Larchmont Village: Sweetfin on North Larchmont Boulevard

Sweetfin's Larchmont shop sits at 135 North Larchmont Boulevard, in the middle of the one-block village of cafes and bookshops between Beverly Boulevard and First Street, and it is the easiest polished poke lunch in Hancock Park. Every signature poke bowl on its own ordering page costs $16.90, the whole menu is certified gluten-free, and the counter stays open until 11pm on weekdays. If your search for poke bowl near me lands you anywhere between Koreatown and Melrose, this is the bowl to walk to.

Sweetfin opened its first shop in Santa Monica in April 2015. Nation's Restaurant News lists the founders as Seth Cohen, Alan Nathan and Brett Nestadt, and the partners told Zagat they wanted an alternative to the poke trend that would not break the bank, and they brought in chef Dakota Weiss, a Top Chef alumna, to build the menu. LA Weekly described that first blond-wood room as a poke restaurant that would be at home in the pages of Vogue as much as Bon Appetit, which set the tone for every branch since.

The chain has grown to roughly 20 shops, reached Orange County in 2021 and marked its tenth anniversary in 2025 with an Innovation Kitchen collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Daniel Patterson. In August 2026 it launched a limited-time Cali Bowl with actors Vanessa Hudgens and Oliver Trevena. Larchmont is one of four city-of-Los-Angeles branches the company highlights on its own poke guide, alongside downtown, Silver Lake and Westwood Village.

Two bowls carry the brand. The Spicy Tuna bowl pairs yellowfin tuna in spicy mayo with hijiki seaweed, avocado, edamame, cucumber and crispy onion, and it is the bowl the company itself points to first. The Yuzu Salmon is lighter and more distinctive: salmon in a yuzu kosho sauce with avocado, edamame, cilantro, jicama and cucumber. The jicama and cilantro give it a crunchy, almost Southern California salad character that sets it apart from the soy-forward poke at Hawaiian counters.

Weiss's more chef-driven ideas show up further down the list. The Truffled Yuzu Albacore adds white truffle oil, shimeji mushrooms, pickled ginger and daikon sprouts to albacore in yuzu kosho. The Gochujang Salmon uses a black garlic gochujang sauce with asparagus, shiitake, bean sprouts and crispy garlic, and the Mango Albacore brings ponzu lime, macadamia nuts and napa cabbage. Each of those is also $16.90, so the choice comes down to flavor rather than price.

The BYOB Poke Bowl is also $16.90 and lets you choose the fish, base, sauce and toppings yourself. The base is where Sweetfin differs most from a typical counter: bamboo rice, black forbidden rice, cauliflower rice and sushi rice are all on the menu, and each is sold as a $3.00 side if you want a second scoop. Citrus kale and kelp noodle slaw are $5.00 sides that also work as a lighter base for anyone skipping rice.

Sauces are made in house, and twelve are sold on the side for $1.00 each, from miso sesame and sriracha ponzu to yuzu kosho and truffle sriracha mayo; the crunchy garlic chili oil is $1.50. The Keto Bowl swaps rice for cauliflower rice under salmon, kale, jicama, macadamia nuts and a creamy togarashi sauce, and the Superfood Bowl pairs yellowfin tuna with kale, shimeji mushrooms, carrots and black garlic gochujang.

The company's Pole to Bowl page is specific about the fish. Yellowfin tuna is wild-caught in the Indian Ocean and labeled dolphin safe, albacore is wild and line-caught off the Fijian Islands with MSC certification, and the salmon is responsibly raised in British Columbia.

The company's own sourcing note is short and specific: it buys the highest-quality, most sustainable fish it can find while keeping prices accessible, takes fresh produce deliveries daily, prioritizes local suppliers and makes every sauce from scratch in house. That is why the sauce list reads like a pantry of citrus, miso and chile rather than a row of bottled dressings, and why the menu can change with the seasons, as the current taro chip special shows.

If you would rather eat with your hands, the Spicy Tuna Burrito wraps yellowfin tuna, bamboo rice, avocado, cucumber, cilantro, crispy onion, seaweed salad and spicy mayo in a tortilla for $13.95, which makes it the cheapest way to get the signature flavor. The Classic Sweetbox at $22.00 is built for sharing or a long lunch: yuzu salmon over citrus kale, spicy tuna over bamboo rice, seaweed salad and house taro chips dusted with wasabi furikake.

Larchmont is a family street, and the kids' menu reflects it. The Lil' Fish Bowl is $7.25 and the Grasshopper Bowl is $6.95, so a parent can feed a child for less than the price of a side and a drink. House drinks include pineapple lemonade, guava lemonade and iced hibiscus tea, each $3.95, and the chili lime taro chips at $5.75 are the snack worth adding.

Hours on the location page run from 10:30am to 11pm Monday through Friday, 10am to 11pm on Saturday and 11am to 9pm on Sunday, which is later than most of the street. The shop has shaded outdoor seating on the sidewalk, so on a warm afternoon you can eat in the open air under the trees that line Larchmont. Ordering ahead on the Sweetfin site and choosing pickup means your bowl is waiting when you arrive, which helps at lunch on a street with limited parking.

Because the kitchen stays open late, Sweetfin also works as an early or light dinner after the boutiques close. Gluten-free diners get a rare luxury here: every bowl, burrito, side, sauce and drink is certified gluten-free, so there is no need to quiz the counter about soy sauce or tempura crumbs.

Larchmont Boulevard is short enough to see on foot in half an hour. Salt & Straw's ice cream shop at 240 North Larchmont, across Beverly Boulevard, is the obvious dessert stop after a bowl, open from 1pm to 11pm daily, so it overlaps with Sweetfin's late hours on weekday evenings. South of the shop, the village thins out into the tree-lined residential streets of Windsor Square at First Street, a pleasant loop for a slow walk back.

Address: 135 North Larchmont Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90004. Metro Line 14 runs along Beverly Boulevard at the north end of the block. Order pickup through orders.sweetfin.com, choosing the Larchmont location. Signature bowls are $16.90 and burritos $13.95 on that page, and the full menu is gluten-free.
