This place is amazing! The best poke I have had anywhere on the east coast (including Atlanta, which I am really partial to.) Their prices per portion are very good. You get a fair share, and then some, for what you pay. So if you are worried about portions for protein and other items, worry not, you won’t be cheated into 4 meager bits of salmon.It is really important to me to purchase sustainably when eating salmon and other common fish used for sushi and poke. They have this covered, and will let you know how and where their salmon was caught.I also truly love that they are LGBTQA+ representative. I cannot say enough good about this place. Fresh ingredients, sustainably sourced food, local ingredients where applicable, great prices, and the staff is really nice.
Vegetarian options: Plenty! You can build your own bowl and include only the items you wish.
Kid-friendliness: There is even a chalk wall where your kids can draw while there.
Parking: Super easy, lots of parking lot spots
Dietary restrictions: They have GF and lactose free options - great for someone with a non celiac gluten sensitivity. However, I would still call ahead to double check procedures before going if you do have Celiacs.

***Amended review***I want to commend the owner for a very fast response to my review who said they would work on improving the customer service aspect of the business. The food was good, and I would be willing to give them another chance in the future.We finally came here for all the good review since our usual place is closed on Sundays. I don’t knew what happened but the staff seemed really bothered by us coming in first thing in the morning. It is 11AM- early lunch time. They just opened. They already had one customer before us. We were pretty easy and just ordered accordingly and not making any modifications because it’s early and totally understand how annoying that can be. However, the two people that ran the place on 9/4/2022 didn’t seem too happy they were working today. Especially the one with glasses. Not even a smile and basically made you feel you were bothersome because you came in to order a few poke bowl and a sushi burrito which my daughter really wanted. My kids were quiet and respectful too not noisy so I’m very confused. Maybe they had a bad morning but as someone working the counter, you don’t put it on your customer. I’ve worked in the same industry before so I will judge you by that. I am quite disappointed with the customer service.

I had the Courageous bowl and it was spicy! The guy who prepared my food was really friendly; forgot to get his name. The raw fish and ingredients were all very fresh. I’ll definitely come back because of this good experience!I went to the Morrisville location around 1pm!

The burrito has a good ratio of seafood-to-"add ons", unlike some other sushi burrito restaurants I've tried in NYC/DC. The miso ginger sauce wasn't too salty and a great contrast to the rest of the ingredients you can select from. Price-wise, the burrito is just about the price of a single specialty roll you'd order at most sushi places, so between the taste and the value, it's an easy 5-star experience.

I'm a big fan of sushi, so the sushi burrito is like a dream meal to me: what's better than a super-sized sushi roll that you pick up with your hands?I was visiting from out of town and looking for a quick meal, and when I found a spot with sushi burritos, I was all in. Unfortunately, they didn't have the wraps for burritos when I was in, so I got the poke bowl version of the burrito I would have had (the Courageous) and absolutely adored it. The person running the shop was awesome; super kind and helpful on offering me the different options to add on.I'm no stranger to poke bowls and sushi burritos, and think this might have been the best one I ever had. I'll definitely be back!!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good experience with the food here. When I picked up the two bowls, they were both very dry and had no taste. I suspect that they forgot the sauce. Drove back to get them fixed and the lady added too much sauce on both of them. Now they are too salty to eat. Sadly, I don’t live close enough to drive back again so bye bye a good dinner.

Such a lovely experience. Went for the first time today and I’m not super experienced with poke. The woman working the counter was super helpful, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious! Can't wait to come back. Excellent vegan and gluten free options! Inspired my husband to step out of his food comfort zone and we were not disappointed!

Shout out to the young lady that patiently walked me through all the ingredients and sauces to help me understand what did and didn’t have sugar. Thanks to her, this diabetic was able to enjoy a delicious bowl of Poke without a blood sugar spike!! Great job!

First time here (I've been to the Southpoint location several times) and very pleased. The portions seemed extra generous, and my regular size bowl was piled so high that I'm not sure how a large could have differed besides just more fish. Everything was nice and fresh, and service friendly, with a pleasant indoor seating area (outside tables could use some shade in the summer heat). As always, I appreciate the use of compostable materials.
Zenfish! So glad that you were open when I popped in for a quick bite before heading to grab a glass of wine. Your staff were so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I told them that it was my first time here and they took me through each step from the proteins, to the various toppings, and finishes! They pointed out a couple of non soy options for me and I love that upfront they tell you to let them know if you have any dietary restrictions.My wrap was delicious, but I have to admit the seaweed was a little bit too tough for me. My teeth really got a work out trying to even get through half of the half of the wrap. I had to eat a lot of it with a fork. But, for the most part, it was worth it as each bite was delicious. I really loved your housemade sirracha aoili!
Stephen Summerall
Absolutely love it. The courageous bowl is incredible. I interacted with Rita who makes the whole experience pleasant and fun. I wish I had a photo but it’s impossible to remember when you have a delicious poke bowl in front of you. Keep up the amazing work!

Great poke place. The server was awesome, he walked us through how it worked and then we built our own bowls. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. Recommend visiting!

Love the food and the environment. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the women who was working the counter, dark brown straight hair and glasses, was very rude. Made the customers fee like they needed to apologize to her.

Good selection of items and clean. Medium bowl is quite filling.
