I asked for a small Rio bowl and got this.. I asked for more açaí and they said they charge a dollar more for extra Acai. It was already 9.75 for just this. How sad.

Ordered pickup through DoorDash. Ordered was accepted, drove there to find them closed! Took sometime to get refunded.
I want to preface my review by saying that I love their location on Panama, that’s where I usually go. 5/5 stars for there because you get a lot of fish for your poke and everything is cooked properly. However my first impression of the Calloway one is not great. The woman working was nice and the place is nice too but my order was not worth the money and unfortunately I’m on the other side of town otherwise I would’ve gone back to complain. The dish is mainly rice and the rice I was served was overcooked and burnt to the point it was rock hard. I could only eat half of it with the fish I was given. Taste-wise it’s similar to what I was used to (which is why I at least gave it 2 stars) and the tuna is tasty as usual but for $15 I expect properly cooked rice, not rock hard overcooked rice. Very disappointing.
Food was only ok. Customer service sucked. On their website it says the poke bowls are $6 for a small, $9 for a medium, &$12 for a large. Got into the store and the prices are $9, $12, & $15. Not good business practice. Ordered a medium bowl and a bottle of unsweetened tea. It was expired by 3 months and tasted terrible. Walked up to the counter to ask to exchange for a new one. Male worker walks out from the back and up to counter and doesn't say anything to me at all, just starts to stock the shelf, and ignores me. I stand there for at least a minute, then the woman who took my order brings out my bowls, hands them over. Doesn't even say anything. She needs some customer service training. She must have been trained by the other worker. I ask for a new one, and get it. Poke was ok with a few pieces of nori, and only halfway full... I guess that's right? Skimpy for $12. It also had no real toppings, not like I've had in other shops... Won't be coming back.

I usually love this place, but not today. I ordered a large acai bowl for my daughter and it was only half full. My medium had more in it than her large did. It's not worth the money if they're going to short you.
Very welcoming and informative. Will be returning, bowl was amazing!

I ordered a medium powerhouse recently with no granola and it came out looking a little spacious. Whenever I come here usually the bowl is filled to the top and it’s hard to get the lid on. Definitely disappointed I paid a little over $12 for this. Not sure if I’d come back.

I got a medium "The Rio" bowl. Acai base is very thick and not too sweet. Best of all is that it doesn't melt in 5 minutes so I can enjoy a nonwatery bowl. I wouldn't mind a tiny but more granola, and there's enough fruit for every bite. I'll definitely eat again.

My first experience and it was great! The staff were amazing!!!! The food was super fresh and so yummy!
Fave place for acai bowls, but the staff occasionally gets the toppings wrong and underfills the container :(

Check your order, specially if you order on line, very closely. I placed on online order that cost over $100. They got one order wrong, completely omitted another order. When I called & asked for the one they forgot, a woman who identified herself as Paula, said she would refund the items. A week later and I have yet to receive the refund.Tasty enough food ruined by poor customer service.
