I have been to many poke places, this place was the worst experience, the portions are the tiniest, definitely will not go back.

I keep my GPS on at all times just in case my phone ever gets stolen lot of times it'll tell me that I've been to a place that I've never even heard of or been to so when that happens rate it one star

The fish was fresh, but the portion of fish was small. I really like all the toppings though! Overall it tastes really fresh, but isn't necessarily authentic

Accidentally went here instead of poke house. Either way Im not down with this whole poke movement.

They are always out of ingredients. 4 out of the last 5 times I've been there they didn't have brown rice (maybe that's a clue they should make more than they currently estimate will be needed). The servings of the main ingredient are tiny. I always get all shrimp and even then there is hardly any shrimp. They also skimp on the other ingredients so I end up needing to ask for more multiple times. All this for a price that is way too high for what you're getting. It also looks like a temporary setup... I know this is in the Abbott Square food court but the other places look like they are permanent fixtures. This place looks like they showed up that morning and decided to open a Poke spot for the day. Glad there are new Poke options just down the street. This place can't last long. I just noticed nobody has even claimed this Yelp profile... I guess I can see why, but if that isn't proof this place isn't planning on being around long I don't know what is.

No sushi rice!!!! The surrounding is lovely and they have great addd one like pineapple but the serving is small and there is so much rice but they only offer regular rice white.

The poke bowl was okay. It is fresh food, and you can choose what you want in your bowl and the bowl had a lot of veggies and fish in it. However, they were out of both white rice and sesame dressing......and possibly more options that I didn't ask about (I heard another customer complaining about them not having another item). It would be nice if they had some suggestions on how to make certain poke bowls ('Hawaiian style' 'spicy style' etc).

I have been to MANY poke bowl places around the bay area and this is by FAR the worst. The portions are terrible and the toppings are minimal. The owners of this place need to visit some places around the area and see what makes a good bowl. Save your dollars.

I've been to a couple of Poke "bars" in the Bay Area, and this one is pretty good. Choose your bass of rice or spring mix, choose 2 scoops of protein (ahi, hamachi, salmon, or tofu) and choose a dozen different veggie toppings and sauces. Not as varied as other Poke joints, but they are just getting started. $14 for a bowl is pretty close to the price point I've seen elsewhere for the same amount of food. I like it.
The flavors were delicious, but it's extremely over priced and the fish quality was mediocre. Both my friend and I left feeling hungry, because the portions were so small. I was super stoked to check this place out, but unfortunately I don't think I would return in the future. This spot doesn't come close to comparing with Poke Lab in Monterey, for anyone that is familar.

Expensive for what you're getting: a large amount of rice relative to other ingredients. Not as tasty as many poke places I've been to, and there is not a lot of variety of ingredients.

Quality is REALLT hit or miss. For the most part, the fish and toppings have been fresh. The brown rice is either really fresh, or it's the stale scrapings off the bottom of the bowl... Decent variety of toppings. Staff are relatively unsocial. Some staff members skimp on portions, some give an amount that's in accordance with a $15 poke bowl. All in all, you just have to come on the right day when a good staff member is working. In those situations, the poke bowl will be awesome. Otherwise it will be unsatisfactory.

Extremely underwhelming...tons of rice, minimal toppings, and little flavor. Such a great spot, i hope you step it up...Santa Cruz poke in Capitola is a million times better.
