This is my go to poke bowl place I'm Reno. The price is competitive. It's never that busy. They have lots of options for creating your perfect poke bowl. Fresh ingredients. Friendly workers. Been here at least a dozen times. You get free miso soup when you dine in too.

I did the make your own bowl and ordered the smallest size which is 18oz which is 3 scoops of protein. The bowl was so small I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland when everything shrinks. See the picture of me holding the container. My hands are normal size. That is a normal size post it note on top of the bowl. I wish I would have realized how small it was so I could’ve ordered a larger size but every other poke place I’ve been to three scoops of protein is plenty for me so I thought it would be similar here. I’ve eaten poke at a few other places in town and I would say the 18oz bowl here is one half to a third the size you’d get elsewhere. This is fine of course if they want to sell their pokey in three different sizes but I just wish I would’ve realized ahead of time. I did call in the order so maybe they do have the bowl sizes at the counter so you can see them before you order. Other poke places have one container size that is much larger and you get 3 scoops of protein but can add more scoops for an extra charge if you want so it’s a bit different than I expected here. Also, I always order mixed greens as my base and so once all of the toppings were in the bowl there wasn’t a lot of greens which was kind of a bummer since I like to eat my bowl as a salad where you have a good lettuce to toppings ratio. Overall the food was good. I usually love seaweed salad but the seaweed salad here was a little more bland and firm compared to seaweed salad I’ve had elsewhere. I do love that they have Boba as there’s not a lot of places that have Poké and Boba, and the Boba drink was a nice size. If you like poke you’ll like the food, just make sure to order the correct size. Although I was surprised at the size it is nice that they have a smaller size. As a female there are times where a normal portion of food at a restaurant is too much food and I hate not having the option to order the appropriate portion for me so it is nice to have that available here. I am surprised that other people are saying that their bowls are a good size but I’m thinking maybe they ordered one of the signature bowls and maybe those are the 24oz size, not the 18oz, and that’s why it seems like enough to them

The food was amazing and the owners were super friendly! I would absolutely come again!

Portions were larger than some of the previous reviews mentioned. I’m a larger guy and the large was more than I could eat. I’ve only been introduced to poke recently, so I’m no expert, but I thought it was great!

We went here with my sister as we were in the area, both bowls were definitely bigger portions than any other poke places we have been too in Reno. I also don't understand why someone posted that they are not fresh, everything was fresh including the crab salad which was not drowning in mayo, they actually don't put any in their salad, oh and if you dine-in they give you a complimentary miso soup. I also loved that it is family owned?

Solid lunch spot! The poke is always fresh, the customer service is awesome! Highly recommend the ahi or spicy tuna.
Rachael Creed
Very fast, nice quiet place. Even though we ordered to go at the counter, the gentleman who made our poke bowls came to check on us when we decided to sit in anyway.

Not Great not bad either. Pieces of fish were cut into really small cubes in which you can't really enjoy the fish although it was fresh but not of high quality cuts. Hence the lack of oil. I also still felt hungry after ordering the biggest one i'm not a big person at all by any means but the portions are extremely small. Also there is no bluefin tuna here to put on your poke the business name is deceiving. For the money i'd rather go go the hawaiian owned poke spot here in town. I couldn't rememeber the name but now that i found it i will be going there to get my poke fix since bluefin poke couldn't provide that for me. They are filipino owned vs the other establishment being hawaiian owned and the differences are massive in hawaii they give you massive portions of food. In the philippines i have to order 2-3 meals to feel full. Sadly the same business practice is being conducted here even though this is america. The vibe is really dead in there too or else i would have given it another star. Although they were really nice i won't be returning here for poke knowing i can get 3x the amount for $2 more elsewhere nearby.

All around excellent. The staff are friendly, the food is tasty, if a bit pricy.
What an incredible meal! I had the Hawaiian bowl, and I’m quite sure that was the best meal I’ve had all week long. I would bet the rest of the menu is just as tasty and full of flavor. Yum! Unfortunately, I did not grab any pictures, but I will definitely be back for round 2Round 2 Update! Got the Seafood voyage and am blown away by the flavor! There are options to build your own bowl, as well!

Put in a web order and was ready on time. My rolls were good and really hit the spot.

We were really excited to try this place. Service was really good. Hours are not correct on their website. They are shortened to Covid hours so make sure you call ahead of times.The food was about a 3 out of 5 stars. Gave them 4 stars for the sweet staff. We thought one of the seaweed salad was fishy tasting. Maybe not a fresh as some of the other ingredients.They have a nice selection of drinks with the Boba selection. There is no outdoor seating but there is a beautiful park to sit at.Portions were of a good size. Thought the ingredients could have been fresher. But? It may not be busy enough to turn over to new ingredients faster.If you dine in you get a free miso soup! Which was delicious!

Excellent Poke! They will also serve you a complimentary Miso if you are dining in. Also available here - Boba milk and tea beverages!

Coming from the bay, I'm super picky with seafood, but bluefin always hits the spot! First place I've tried that does a proper crab salad.
