“Saturday lunch break. I’m out at the karting track and suddenly that craving hits — poke. Not sushi, not burgers… poke.

Quick search shows a spot about 15 minutes away, so I jump in the car. First thing I notice while checking reviews: Yelp shows 3.9 stars, but Google says 4.4. That already made me curious. Like… what exactly are people complaining about here? I even started reading a few reviews before going in.

Walking inside, the place is simple, clean, exactly what you expect from a casual poke spot. Nothing fancy, but that’s not why you come here anyway.

What actually stood out right away was the service. The guy behind the counter was genuinely friendly — not the robotic “next customer please” kind of vibe. He walked me through the options, explained how their bowls work, and even let me taste a couple things before deciding. That alone already set the tone.

The ingredients looked fresh across the board. You build your bowl step by step — rice, proteins, toppings, sauces. Pretty straightforward system, but everything was organized and clean behind the counter.

The bowl itself? Really good. Fresh fish, balanced flavors, nothing drowning in sauce. Exactly the kind of lunch you want after burning energy at the track.

And the price was honestly fair. I’ve eaten poke in places that charge noticeably more for basically the same portion.

So yeah… I’m still not sure why Yelp sits at 3.9, because my experience was solid from start to finish.

Expectations vs reality matched perfectly.

It’s not a fine-dining restaurant, and it’s not trying to be one. It’s a straightforward poke spot that does its job well.

And honestly — I’ll definitely swing by again next time I’m nearby.“

“Love this place. We pretend we are in Hawaii...“

“First time trying this place the poke was delicious the fish was fresh shrimp cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The only negative thing I can say is I wish I tried this place sooner totally going into my rotation for lunch.“

“Staff and owners are incredibly helpful. I was on a cane for a month and everytime i came in they would carry my tray to where i wanted to sit. I can't say enough good things about this place. foods great, prices and servings are just as good.“

“Me and my family had a wonderful experience eating here at Big Island the lady who took our order was super attentive and she was by herself customer service was her ultimate goal and she maximized our experience with every second she had. The food was great and the portion size is plenty for the money. I will definitely be returning.“

“First time here….stopped here for a bite on the way to San Diego. I got the chicken katsu and a side of spam musubi! I loved everything! The convo plates are served with steamed broccoli and cabbage and that was amazing! I loved everything and definitely recommend trying this place! Great service too!“
