Came here on Friday evening around 6 pm. Was able to grab a table for four fairly easily but it did get filled up. I ordered Sam’s Spicy poke with salmon. While the poke definitely had a little bit of a kick, I thought the shoyu spicy aioli was too salty. I definitely needed to eat all of the rice and salad that came with it. My friend ordered the classic shoyu poke and it was salty as well. We also ordered the reconstructed musubi to share. The egg was less frittata and more pan fried. Frittatas are supposed to be light and fluffy. This egg...not so much.
I would go back to try some of the other items and just to see if the poke is consistently salty.
Wow, great taste and a good variety of Poke and other Hawaiian foods. Super fresh and tasty. Pricy but if you wanna splurge this is the spot.
Great Hawaiian style poke, not diluted with vegetables like California style poke. Some nice hot dishes as well. Very friendly service.
Poke by the pound is always welcome, but I really love their garlic chicken loco moco the most
Interior was nicely put together with a laid back surfer vibe. Seating comes in a variety, from counter seating against the wall to large tables.
The food was a disappointment. Two entrees took over 20 minutes to prepare during a non-busy time. One entree was the salad with spicy salmon poke. The salad was not especially fresh. In fact the wonton strips were stale and crunch less. The poke was saucy but not spicy, subpar compared to your average food court poke bowl places.
Also ordered the Loco Moco with the garlic chicken. The chicken was tasty. The mac salad side was hard and bland. It was filling at least.
All in all I'd rather go get a poke bowl... At least it's fast and I can customize it.
