We stayed and dined in. Not many places to sit inside. Wonderful service and exciting options. I did the seasonal special bowl. Nice soda and tea options as well. Popular takeout spot as well and quick service.

I enjoyed the food a lot! The sauce was more flavorful than the poke place up the street from here. The bubble tea was also amazing and didn't have too much ice in it, so there was plenty of drink and tapioca to drink/eat.

The vibes of the place are more like a long-run teriyaki place, which means it might be sparsely decorated, but that just means the food is pretty good!

My server was an older lady and she was very hospitable and nice, even when a bit of a lunch rush came in right after me. I got an avocado with my poke bowl and when she cut the first one open it was brown/gray, so she got me a better one that was fresher. I'll definitely be coming here again sometime!

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but it was a letdown. The fish in my poke bowl didn’t taste fresh at all, which is unacceptable for a dish that depends on quality ingredients. On top of that, the boba milk tea was clearly premade—the tea tasted few days old. Everything was underwhelmed here. I won’t be coming back.

Hate to give a bad review but others people should know. Food tastes great and for the most part the workers have always been nice. I live across the street so for ease I go there sometimes multiple times a week.

Today was the first day I had to walk out. Recently they have hired a young gentleman. He is not good for the company at all.

1. Sanitation - I’ve seen him work on a leak in the sink halfway through making my sandwich. Take the gloves off and then continue to make my sandwich without gloves. Another time he had one glove on and was shoving the ingredients into my sandwich with his ungloved hand. The next time he went to do that I asked he wear gloves.

2. I’ve seen him turn people away with over 30 minutes left in opening time.

3. The kicker - they magically don’t have the food I’ve ordered for the past year every time I go in and he’s working. I just now went in at 5pm and ordered a sandwich and he said they didn’t have the meat. Then I was like can I get a musubi, and they didn’t have that either. What’s sad was as soon as he walked out I thought, wow I’m not going to get to order.

I’m just going to leave every time I see him working now.

Just before stepping into this café, my sister and I had a full-on argument because we got lost thanks to Google Maps! We were giving each other the silent treatment the whole way there. But as soon as we sat down with our drinks, we couldn’t help but laugh about it.

Not one to write a bad review for a family-owned restaurant, but this was genuinely an awful experience. The fish was warm and slimy, the toppings still completely frozen - I took one bite and instantly threw it away for fear of getting sick.

Really awful poke. Slimy fish and most of the sides were still frozen.
