I went here for the good reviews and the drinks looked tasty. I ordered poke by writing on the paper and the pricing was pretty good for poke. It also came with a small miso soup! The workers were kind and courteous. The scoops of protein in poke were decent and they had a good amount of choices for sauce and toppings. I find choosing the right sauce in a new poke place is always the hardest part. I chose the something something dynamite sauce. It was okay, just overly salty in my opinion. While I wanted to like this place, the fish was not fresh at all. The salmon and scallops are so salty and too fishy. I wanted to like this place because everything else was pretty solid, but the poor quality of fish is too disappointing.

I was craving poke and came for a quick lunch! They give you a piece of paper where you can just circle whatever you want on the bowl and you give it to the cashier when you're ready to order! I think because of this the bowls come out really fast! The salmon and tuna were big portions and really fresh! I definitely want to come back! This plaza also has a lot of parking so no need to worry about that!

I've come here twice now but I feel like this second time around, the flavor was a little different .. for my spicy lava (the flavor that always order; basically spicy Mayo) just didn't seem to hit right this time around. Ordered the Kinda Deep (3 scoop) with brown rice and Salad: Salmon with Spicy Lava ~$13.00 Taste: 7/10 Freshness: 8.5/10 **comes with free miso soup!! This poke place would be what I would call California Poke as they don't sell by pound. Regardless, the fish was fresh and were huge cuts (seems more Hawaiian rather than the regular cubes) The server that helped me was courteous and even brought out my to go order to me when I was sitting on the other side of the room :) The chill relaxing Hawaiian vibe could be felt the second you walk in so I love that! Pricing + the size is well worth the price!

Food is amazing here and can't beat that price for the large bowl ($13.95) quality of meat and service is great. Love this place!

Fresh. Really nice portions. Priced right. Friendly staff and good variety of food if you're not feeling poke. Quickly becoming a staple for poke in the area. I've had a ton of different poke spots and this spot is up there with the best.

I was very disappointed about this place... my first time coming here. Spent 30 dollars for two poke bowls and the salmon was heavily salted and the miso soup did not have any tofu, just onion broth. We asked if they have tofu for the soup but they said they stopped putting tofu in the soup a year ago but their current advertisement says otherwise. Don't waste your time here. Plus super rude about the situation, maybe an apology for false information would've been nice.

Great prices. Love the ease of ordering online or using the paper slip in store. Poke bowls come with miso soup which is great since a lot of poke places don't do that. Generous portions. This place never disappoints.

The food is amazing for a very reasonable price, but I think the service differs depending on who's working. The first time I came with my Latina friend and the staff person also appeared to be Latina (she was speaking Spanish to some other customers while we were there); she noticeably treated my friend preferentially and was short with me when I asked questions about the menu and how to order since it was my first time, which ended up making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Then when I tried to pay, my payment failed the first time so she told me to insert my card again, but she "helped" by tapping on the screen for me and selecting the highest tip for herself without giving me a choice. I told her that wasn't the tip option I wanted to select but she gave me a dirty look and told me I couldn't go back, so I just had to pay the amount she selected or risk making a big fuss. Then she didn't offer me a receipt, which I think is just bad service considering she overcharged me, but maybe it's because she didn't want me to find out her name (since the server name is usually printed on your receipt). When our food came out, my friend's meal was neatly packaged so that she could take it to go, but my poke bowl didn't have a lid on it even though I was also taking it to go, and I had to ask for one, which she also treated like I was being an inconvenience. It was a really off-putting experience.My second time here, I came back with a different friend and ordered the exact same thing because the food quality was great, it was just the service that sucked, so I figured I'd give the place a second chance. Thankfully my second time was a lot better. The server (Michelle, based on my receipt) was very sweet and I didn't experience any problems. So I will probably keep eating here in the future, but I would not like to encounter the rude staff person from my first time again.

Been coming here for a while and it's consistently good. Today we tried something different - katsu chicken burger (sandwich). It's two for $10.95 and it was really good! It was pretty big, the sauce was slightly spicy (good kick), and it had some slaw that was refreshing. The egg bun was soft and rich. Forgot to take a pic because I was hungry, but I'd get it again. The people are nice and quick about the orders. Nice little place to hang out. :)

To order a poke bowl, find the desk with order forms on it and fill that out. No need to wait your turn if other people crowd the space, just grab an order form for yourself.Food is great, I always get the Ocean Deep (w/ 5 proteins) and choose 2 tuna, 1 salmon, and mix up the remaining 2 proteins. Go for more plain tuna or salmon if you prefer a filling meal.My only gripe is that they can be stingy with some sauces (creamy wasabi, eel sauce) while overbearing on others (mayo).The place is small, a bit stuffy tbh, so I recommend takeout. Wait time is around 10-15 minutes depending on crowds.Worth it. I'll come back to try their other ala carte items.

Terrible vibes, poke is not too good. I walked in and the owner just stared at me. No hello, just stared for way longer than anyone should be started at and eventually asked if I was there for pickup.

I really love the poke here and service is good. It's my go to but everytime I go in and ask for avocado on my bowl they always seem to forget and I have to go back. That happened today when I went in but I didn't bother going back as I was already home. It's an inconvenience to pay for avocado and then have to go back to ask for it on the bowl because it wasn't included.

What I like about this poke, is that it's different from other poke places. They have you fill up a mini sheet where you circle everything you want in your poke bowl. Once that's filled out, you take it to the register and the cashier will charge you. They provide you with a complimentary miso bowl, so that's a bonus. In addition, the price of a large bowl is much cheaper than other poke places. I'm thankful for places like these to exist because the customers will really give them their money for a great poke place.
