Such an incredible little place! Not only do they offer incredible poke with fresh fish, toppings, and add-ons (not to mention the discount going on right now BOGO free bowl), but the shop also offers Verve coffee/tea which I didn’t get the chance to try this trip. But the atmosphere and service were both incredible. The employees were very welcoming and warm and the decor is so adorable and charming. I will definitely be coming back here to try more poke and beverages!

I was craving fish & fibre and thought, since we're in the Bay Area, why not try some poke bowls? After a quick search in Monterey, I found a spot nearby that had good reviews for its quick service, so I decided to check it out. 😀
I visited around 6:00 p.m., and the restaurant was conveniently located near my accommodation. As soon as I stepped in, a server greeted me right away. He was a young man with cool glasses, not very talkative but helpful. Since it was my first time there, he explained how the ordering process worked.
I opted for the regular 'build-your-own' bowl, which included two proteins for $16—a great value, in my opinion. You can choose two types of fish and any toppings you like, so I decided to try a bit of everything. There were also three sauces to choose, and I asked the server to recommend his favourite. The sauces he chose were delicious.
The bowl itself was surprisingly large, with generous portions of toppings and crunchy add-ons. It felt quite heavy—in a good way. I took my order to go and, when I finally got to eat it at the hotel, I was impressed by the size of the fish chunks. Both the salmon and tuna were soft, buttery, and practically melted in my mouth. 🐟
If I were to order again, I would probably go lighter on the sauces, using just a drizzle to better taste the individual ingredients. I’d also reduce the amount of crunchy toppings, like fried shallots, as the combination of sauces and generous fried shallots tended to overpower the flavours of the poke bowl.
However, this is just my personal preference. Overall, everything I tried was really good.

Pacific “Mid” Rolls
Way too expensive for what you get. The bowl was far from full. When I said something about it, the response was nonchalant. Once but never again. Overpriced and bad service.

Had the taste for some sushi. Turned the corner and boom, this place. Checked out the menu, placed my order, then had a seat. While waiting, got a chance to hear an entertaining conversation between the person that took my order and the person in the back. 5 minutes later my order was ready. The rice and other ingredients were fresh. Good food and a cozy place to get a bite to eat.

Delicious pokes here. For sauces liked especially the sesame ponzu and wasabi mayo.

Sushi rice was cold and all of tables were not clean. Nobody ever emptied the trash cans
Been getting poke bowls here for a few months. Always ask for chefs choice, never been disappointed! Fish and ingredients are delicious and fresh. Prices are also killer given the area.
