10/10, at least.
Wonderful, friendly staff.
Fresh hand rolls, and a delightfully, surprisingly, deliciously good soup.

One of our favorite poke spots in LA—and we’ve tried several. Plus everyone there is so friendly

Having to pay before being served sucks. Cause now if you don’t tip you better believe the portion sizes won’t be good and yeah the portions here suck. Especially for the 20$ prize for only 3 scoops. Never coming back.
When coming in they didn’t greet me. They gave me instructions on what to do so when you’re ordering a Poké bowl, they have menus outside with pants and before paying you like what kind of fish you’ll have with the vegetables, salad rice, and all that other stuff I did that on the person that likes to watch what people are doing if I am able to see the person preparing my food. There was a Hispanic guy or at least he looks Hispanic and he took care of a customer. He was handling cash. Keep your change did not wash his hands started touching pots the fridge And things where the section where people are themselves start preparing the bowls. Like I said at all times I was watching him. He did not wash his hands and he did not have a glove or gloves. He was almost done with my bowl when he started preparing a sauce then he put on a glove, but this was after he was touching everything with his hands with his dirty hands. He calls me over not nicely, and I tell him that he did a lot of wrong things. I told him that I saw him mandolin cash, and now he started touching pots in the fridge and everything there in the kitchen and then preparing my bowl without washing his hands or putting any gloves. He immediately said that that wasn’t truth, and I told him that I didn’t have to lie that I was watching him at all times also because I was recording because I like to leave reviews for restaurants I still ate the food, but I was definitely scared to see someone in the food, industry handling, cash, and handling food at the same time and I did call him out and I did tell him that I was also looking at his coworker how he was constantly washing his hands, putting out gloves using towels, and I told him that’s what you need to do like the person working behind you Anyways I wouldn’t recommend anyone coming here at all. They didn’t offer to make another bowl or to get a refund or partial refund which I should’ve received.

This restauraunt serves really yummy salmon handrolls and custom poke bowls. The salmon and tuna taste pretty fresh, they don’t have any weird fishy taste. They offer a variety of toppings to choose from as well. However, the amount of sauce added can be a little overpowering sometimes. I’d suggest putting a note/request to add a little less! And even though it slightly adds to the price, I would also recommend checking off “Extra Salmon” when ordering, because without the additional it feels like there is not enough.
The service is good, but it can take quite a bit of time waiting for orders to finish in person because there aren’t too many people behind the counter. I think best way to order is for pick up or delivery.

Staying at a Airbnb nearby so decided to try it out. I wasn’t expecting Kazu Nori or Yunomi but really just kinda mid. Like getting Chinese food in Kansas. This review was for the hand rolls and not the bowls.
The workers are so nice and understanding especially if you're new. I didn't know how to order stuff and they were patient with me. So you fill out a form and then leave it for them. No need to stand around and awkwardly wait just make your order and they'll call you when it's ready.

Nice, clean small business. I liked the vibe, nice music, sunshine through the windows and family style table. I got three hand rolls, which were rolled like burritos rather than cones. They were much more enjoyable to eat like that. I started off with the California hand rolls, which tasted great. I was so happy and excited. Then I tried the tempura shrimp hand roll, and that was also great. 😀 I was so excited to eat the salmon hand roll (as I had saved the best for last), but OMG, was I disappointed. What was that?! It had a fishy tuna taste, not in a good way, and I didn't even want to eat it. Out of curiosity I opened it up to dissect the ingredients and see how a salmon roll could go wrong. 🤦🏼♀️ This was no salmon I'd ever seen before - more like remnants or scraps mushed together. Truly awful. I also got the Taro boba milk tea which tasted extremely artificial and unhealthy. That being said, based on the two great rolls, and clean, pleasant restaurant vibe I would come back to try other things on the menu.

I feel so lucky to have this place right in the neighborhood. The fish they use is so fresh, and they have a great selection overall. I’d really recommend trying the hand rolls, I’m always impressed by whatever I order. My favorites are the bay scallop and soft shell crab. Authentic, delicious, and generously portioned!

Had a poke bowl a couple nights ago and it gave me food poisoning. Was VERY ill for 2 days. The manager brushed it off saying it was allergic reaction. It was not allergic, we eat stuff like this all the time. No accountability, very disappointing
