At the beginning of the year I used to come to this location all the time. The spicy tuna poke bowl was my favorite! Never had a problem and the prices were super reasonable. Fast forward to last night, I got a spicy tuna poke bowl, are half of it and put the other half in my fridge for tonight. Unfortunately, about 2 hours after I ate the bowl I ended up with severe stomach pains and was in the bathroom for an hour throwing up and having diarrhea. Food poisoning. It was ugly, painful and just nasty sitting on the toilet and puking into a wastebasket. Y'all need to take better care of your raw tuna! Case you want to check your records it was around 7pm and I got a spicy tuna bowl and a pepper tuna bowl for my boyfriend. He wasn't hungry so didn't eat his, and definitely won't eat it now after seeing what I went through. $34 literally down the drain. Do better smilefin!

Delicious! This was my first visit and I built my own bowl. All of the ingredients are so fresh tasting. This place just easily became my new favorite lunch spot!
Fantastically fresh and healthy options! I was blown away by their selection of menu options and flavors. From signature poke bowls, hibachi grilled entrees, sushi, and ramen - you will not be disappointed.
I am obsessed with their crab rangoon which was cooked to perfection. The #4 Signature Poke bowls (Smile-Fin) was the perfect blend of spicy, fresh and savory!!
The portions are incredible so be prepared for leftovers!!

whos closed on mondays? wack.
High price low selection. It's the cheap Chinese restaurant version of a poke bowl place. Other places give you like 3 proteins and have way more toppings for 14-15 dollars. Here you get one protein and limited topping.

Absolutely amazing tasting poke, everything was just so flavorful. The only thing I would recommend is cutting the cucumbers smaller, besides that I’d come back. The portion is great for the price too!

Place is delicious. Ordered off DoorDash, came hot. Very generous portions, steak and chicken were juicy, rice was perfect. Had the chicken katsu for an app, loved the thick katsu BBQ sauce. Also, they arent stingy with the "yum yum" sauce. Definitely recommended.

First time visit for a poke bowl. I prefer raw salmon, but many similar places have salmon that doesn't taste fresh. This was fresh and excellent, price was very reasonable as well ($15)
