Jeff WooJune 15, 2016My fave 4 bowls here in no particular order: Sichuan Chili Salmon, Seared Toro Suji (limited), Goma Shoyu Tuna, Chojang Hirame. Can't wait for new creations from Chef Lim
ᴡ MezaAugust 12, 2016Love the poké, had some concerns about the blue fin they were serving, but one of the partners came out and we talked about their dedication to sustainable seafood and where they source their bluefin.
Matthew HuieJune 11, 2016The Goma Shoyu Tuna poké bowl was delicious! I will have to come back for the Dole Whip pineapple soft-serve. They also sell Schweppes Cream Soda here!
Pricey but delicious and very healthy poke bowls. The Sichuan chili salmon is the winner.
- Michael GarodJune 25, 2016Had the sichuan chili salmon and ponzu salmon. Best poke in the city! Better than pokeworks and wisefish poke because the dish is comes as is. The flavors are perfectly melded and balanced!
Berk KapiciogluJune 17, 2016I got the chili salmon bowl. There is almost no space for seating, but you can do a take-out and eat it at nearby parks. You can upgrade the bowl size to large to get more fish. Food is delicious.
- Audrey TolbertJune 9, 2016You can't go wrong with the goma shoyu tuna bowl. The regular size was perfect but next time I might go for the large to get more fish.
Chez OngAugust 5, 2018The price may turn you away at first but once you eat anything here you just get it. Quality. Freshness. Taste. Prep. It’s simply delicious.
BonSeptember 21, 2016Eat all the poke! Traditional tuna is solid as is the salmon with mayo. Collect 'em all!
DebbApril 5, 2017Really good place to have poke food! I ate a rice bowl with tuna and avocado, amazing!
Bond StreetOctober 7, 2016"Elevating the decidedly egalitarian poke bowl with top tier ingredients and technique while maintaining a price point that is still very accessible." - Karen Wong, deputy director - The New Museum Read more
EM H.July 21, 2016Funny how they say "prepared in the traditional Japanese style". Maybe Hawaiian style. Mayo is not traditional! Yummy but I feel like I paid $14 for a bowl of rice and furikake....
Poké bowls galore (traditional and with a twist)! And dole whip for days!
MelissaJuly 16, 2016Shoyu poke! If you want to try their wasabi mayo-- try and ask for more mayo because it's not as spicy as you think! The portions of poke vs. Rice is small.
Jason AstonJune 28, 2016Was very good. I got a regular size that left me hungry...and also got some supreme tuna which pushed my bowl to the $19 range. I won't do that again seeing as how I got 10 tiny cubes of fish.- Lin daSeptember 13, 2017Haven't tried a poke bowl but their dole whip is really good and refreshing!
Ben GJune 27, 2016The fluke is excellent. Pair with a Dole whip. It's a bit pricey for the neighborhood but can't argue with the quality of fish.
Kate FurmanApril 17, 2017Come here for the Dole Whip, they can do a swirl with their special rotating flavor of the day.
LukeJanuary 1, 2017Poké with an eye for detail that's more refined than the build your own bowl spots popping up
Ernesto GutierrezDecember 7, 2016Health minded individuals can savor the ponzu salmon. If you can splurge on the calories a bit, go for the chojang hirame (slightly spicy)- Weixi ZengJune 25, 2016Great poke bowls and the fish they use are so fresh! A pity that the portions are too small.
Mike ChungOctober 11, 2016More chirashi than poké, it just has too much rice. Still, the bowls are fresh and flavorful, a nice find.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantOctober 31, 2016Cool spot but not as good as Seamore's poke. Did like the dole soft serve.
Jimmy TsangMay 27, 2016Fresh stuff taste pretty good, get the Large bowl the regular bowl kind of small- Sean BeanJanuary 2, 2019If you haven't been, get the chikarashi flight. Be warned, it's a lot of food.
Russell HirschornNovember 5, 2016Was not terribly impressed and am surprised by that. I think Ill have to try it again.
