One of the highest quality poke restaurants I've been to. The fish is fresh and clean. $10 for small. $12 for medium. $14 for a large.
This place was really good up until around the end of summer, when you look at the fish now, it doesn't look or taste fresh, and it's definitely not appetizing at all anymore. And it seems like no one wants to work there for some odd reason, because of the high turn over rate. It's not a hard job, everything (at least 99%) comes in frozen in plastic bag, there is coloring add to the fish to keep longer, they may cut some onions. What gets me is that any new employee I asked them what's there favorite, it's always the same answer, spicy tuna, why is that, maybe it's part of there training. Push the old stuff out. Bottom line is that this places time is up here for me. If you want the same thing serving, just go to Ralph's, look in the freezer box, 40 minutes to thaw, for $7.99, it's the same Ralph's puts is there seafood window and sell it buy the pound for $13.99, the package weights two pounds, by them opening one package that you can buy ($7.99) and put in a bowl yourself, they open the same package and also put it in a bowl and 2 pounds comes out $28.00.
stopped for a quick bite for lunch. Ordered a large bowl $14 with 4 proteins, with all the available greens/veggies. Portion was big enough to share with hubs=
Always a good experience when coming to this establishment. Friendly staff, great food, and fast service makes this a great spot to enjoy some delicious poke! Also they provide pretty decent WiFi!
To be honest this was not my favorite poke experience. While the customer service was great and the kale noodles delicious, the scallops and octopus tasted off. Something about the flavor wasn't right.
I have been here in the past and the fish was wonderful so I am hoping this was just a bad day (fish wise). I would be willing to try this place again based on the customer service and my past experience.
