Update: the last time, I dined in. I ordered spicy tuna, she gave me regular. I showed her and she said they don’t have enough spicy tuna for my bowl even though I could see a bucket of spicy tuna in front of her. She said it wasn’t enough for my order. She could have at least given me the rest of that, and then added regular tuna for the rest. Or they could have taken time to make more spicy tuna. She took my bowl from me and pretended to cut up my tuna for five minutes and added the sauce. She told me I should have asked to make sure they had it in stock. That’s so illogical- when I order something the employee taking my order should confirm on their own if they have what I order. Or they should tell me when they realize they don’t. They shouldn’t just make my meal with what they assume is the next best option. This restaurant needs to refine their process because most of my experiences have been laughable.Employees are polite. Ingredients are high quality and fresh.However, they’ve always forgotten things in my bowl that I paid extra for, which I don’t realize until I get home. My $20 meal should have everything in it that I requested. The system would be better if I could select what I want in my bowl and see them put it in as we walk through.

Best poke bowl I've ever had... and I've been to Ishihara market in Hawaii. The truffle yellow tail is simply superb. The staff was fantastic- very knowledgeable and friendly. I will be back!

Seating was a little cramped I think they pushed seating to create more kitchen space but the food was amazing. Can't wait to go back.

Ordered the Truffle yellowtail bowl (half rice half greens as base, added wakame and avocado for extra) for dinner and Pandan flavored Rice Krispies for dessert while staying late at the office one day. The ingredients were fresh for poke place standard, and the flavor of the bowl came very well together. The price was reasonable for the location. I am a fan of the Rice Krispies, nice pandan flavor, crispy and not overly sweet. This place is fefinitely one of the healthier options in downtown.

Small serving and a little expensive, but amazingly tasteful.

I built my own bowl - I love the fresh tuna and salmon and the truffle option for sauce was a perfect mix. Easily one of the best poke bowls. I also enjoyed the serving size for the miso soup and the rice crispy dessert. All delicious. I also did delivery and it was fresh.

Service is ten stars super friendly stuffBut the food was truly mediocre The fish portion is super small And the flavor is not balanced wellThe store is not so bigNo vibe here.....

The food, while the quality was nice was definitely lacking in quantity compared to the other place, nearby. The most pressing issue I had was: if there were changes compared to the listed prices, I should have been informed before I made payment. Their paper slips do not match their giant signs; and if there were any surcharges it would have been nice for the cashier to make sure I was okay with it before I was rung up.
This place is amazing! Every creation they have on their menu is the best poke I've ever had, their unique ingredients and flavour additions blow your mind. I have never had this sushi in a bowl before, but it was really good. We both got the suggested bowls, but you can personalize however you like, or make your own. Really good!!

The best Poke in Houston!!! Incredibly fresh, great prices, and amazing service. I have not had poke like this since I was in Hawaii. I am a Spam Musabi fanatic and this is the best Spam Musabi I've ever had. The restaurant was also very clean. SUPPORT LOCAL!!!

I caught them just before she closed up and kindly accepted my order of a Kani Bake Bowl and it was very good!
