!!PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT!! I have no idea what is going on with their fish handling practices. But I had bad fish here. I'm not the only one. I had one bite and on the second bite in my mouth I could smell the distinct smell fish that's gone bad. Smelled rotten. I immediately gagged and spit the food out! I returned right away to let them know, and immediately the young lady behind the counter asked me if I wanted a refund. Of course I did!! She was so fixated on getting me a refund and totally disregarded my point to inspect the fish. At that point, I believe they were going to continue to serve it.It wasn't until she left to the back to talk on the phone, presumably to the manager about a password, that I asked the other worker in Spanish to please taste the fish. Particularly the salmon. He indeed tasted a couple different fish, and he confirmed that the salmon was bad and pulled it. Yup it's the salmon! I eat raw fish as part of my diet and you can tell when fish is not good by looking at it, it has a cloudy look or slimy feel. And you can definitely confirm it by smelling it. If anything is off, you just throw it away. Raw fish is their main product!! They should know exactly the quality and the condition of their seafood. I came back to work and my head was definitely hurting and my stomach was in knots. I don't know if I was starting to get sick or if it was all in my head that I ate rotting food. But it definitely stayed with me all day. I commented to my coworker that my stomach was turning without mentioning exactly what had happened. He told me that two weeks ago he had food and that he got sick. Well, guess where he ate??!! He ate at Poké Bar and he had the salmon. That was enough for me to jump on here and write a review. I would never talk bad about a business, as with most things everyone can have an off day. Most things we can even give a second shot. But this kind of practice could definitely get someone very sick. If anyone at the business reads this: You are breaking the trust of your community and are on the downhill side of losing your business base. It is apparent with your other one star reviews that people are being informed that you guys serve bad food, and at this point you guys are KNOWINGLY doing so. If you do not intend to fix anything, just close your doors now so you don't take anyone down with you.

Just not good. I had the poke which is “build your own”. First of all, ordering is a complicated process and it just takes way too long. But most importantly it doesn’t taste good. The poke was unseasoned and there was too much rice in comparison to toppings. I also got the boba which honestly tasted like alcohol to me.

Rice was soggy like portage. Two workers had the worst customer service ever. When i told the workers about the Rice they just said they knew already and shrugged their shoulders. I asked for my money back and left. How do you wear an In n Out shirt while working at a Poke restaurant? Tha KS I'll go there instead

STAY AWAY!Yikes, wish I had read these reviews before ordering. It has to be the worst poke I've ever had and I've had quite a few! The fish has this awful, old sour taste that grossed me out. I hadn't eaten all day so I ate it anyway. Of course it sent me to the bathroom after like most 1 star reviews here.Never again!!!

DO NOT and I mean DO NOT come here!!!! *Please see other similar reviews* I justo order in the past from here and the poke wasn't the greatest but it satisfied the craving. Today I was more than compelled to write this review. I ordered pick up through GrubHub, when I walked in the store there was this strong funky odor almost like a dirty rag. When I finally opened the bowl back at my desk it did not look appetizing at all and noticed the crab and seaweed salad were missing!! Then as I started mixing the bowl I saw that nearly all the salad spring mix was wilted!! And let's not even talk about the quality of the fish! How can they possibly serve this to people?! I immediately contacted GrubHub to get some type of refund bc this is unacceptable! Food Safety Inspectors where you?!

Ordered a large bowl with 4 proteins double Salmon, spicy tuna and regular tuna. I got a 2 oz cup full of salmon and a bunch of base with weak toppings. Don’t bother ordering here.

I ordered 5 meals. The young curly hair guy with glasses, nonchalant when preparing the meals, dropped a box when giving the bag, and had the audacity to try to charge me for a new one, saying « you dropped it » right to my face. Never seen such a poor quality service, this guy should probably not be in customer service.

Always amazing food from here. Star off for having all the seats up and preventing us from sitting down in the location despite coming an hour before closing.
