All filler for $20 a bowl. The protein per dollar is so low that this doesn’t make it economical. Their scoops are small and if you add more they charge $4 for a few small chunks. You’ll need it. I’ll measure this more accurately on a take home order and report back.

If you have problems parking here then ask the employees not to park in the customer parking spaces. Yes the silver SUV parked in front all day is the car keeping customers away and losing profits.

The restaurant was very quiet, but unfortunately, the lady who handled the food and placed each item into paper disposable containers was not friendly at all. Everything was served in disposable containers, which really took away from the dining experience.
The selection was very limited, and even those few options were only offered in very small portions. The spam was completely opened, broken apart, and lacked any flavor. On the bright side, the fish was fresh — probably the only highlight of the meal.
Overall, it wasn’t a particularly enjoyable experience and there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement.

Went here 20 mins before closing and expected a subpar experience but was pleasantly surprised! Still all the options and didn’t look like they were getting ready to close up. Amazing options, great flavors and fresh fish. Try it out if you’re in the area!

First timer at this location but dedicated Poke lover. Establishment was clean and tidy and cute and I loved how their menu is nice and big on the wall behind the counter as it makes it quick and easy to order. Plenty of choices as well to choose from. They also have preselected bowls you can can choose from and made fresh right there or you can opt in to make your own (me and my bestie did that) you get 4 protein choices. They are very generous with their portions as well so you do get your moneys worth! They also have a sauce of “original” medium and spicy is what we had and definitely good. I like everything spicy so the addition to kimchi on top was perfect. Definitely check this place out - parking can be hectic as they are located next to a Whole Foods but it’s a given especially for anywhere in WC.

This happens to be one of my favorite spots. U can get your bowl made however you like it, conceptually similar to Chipotle, hence I call it Chipoke.

Pictures shown vs reality in quantity and volume can be quite different. You got to order with a positive mindset, as flavors are decent.

Good portions and options. They also subbed a side for me, most places do not do that.

The portion of fish is a little less compared to other poke places. The sauce is a bit too salty. Other then that, great service and atmosphere!

Fantastic selection and quality of ingredients. Loved choosing 3 bases (kelp noodles were awesome and enjoyed the citrus kale and mixed greens), 4 proteins, and the delicious sides included with the regular poke bowl/box. Generous portions and good value! I had enough for leftovers but the box gets soggy (love that it's compostable though) so transfer into a leak-proof container before refrigerating. ;)

Located next door to a school of rock and in the same parking lot as a whole foods, getting parking was really easy. I actually parked right in front of the restaurant, which also gave me a great view into the school of rock. Kids. Practicing some song..I feel like I know it but I don't know the name. I couldn't actually hear it. Even when I went into the restaurant though they were right next door, I couldn't hear it. If I didn't have rehearsal that day, I probably would have stayed to eat my food but I got a poke bowl, spam musubi and a strawberry lemonade to go. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food is very fresh, the guy who took my order was very quick and also helped me a lot. Lot. I never been to this place before, and was honestly a bit starved as I hadn't eaten all day. I got a lot of things in my bowl and when I got to rehearsal to eat everything it was almost as if I hadn't left the restaurant. Everything was delicious!

Dietary restrictions: As someone who was lactose intolerant, I find that poke spots are the best thing for me to eat. I never have to worry about their being an unknown item with cheese in it. If anything, this is the best place for a person with dietary restrictions.

Parking: Because this parking lot is shared between a whole foods and a school of rock, there's probably a lot of times where there won't be that much parking. I went on at 8:00 p.m. on a Monday and I was able to park right in front of the restaurant, but I can imagine when the school is just dropping off kids or when the establishment on the other side is open that the parking is a little bit more rough.
