This place has incredible poke. The only thing keeping me from leaving 5 stars is the amount of food you get for the price. Much smaller portions than many others in the area. Also, adding avocado costs $2 ?

Came by on a weekday night about 30 minutes til closing time. The dining area was closed off for dine-in (Togo only). Had the 2-Protein choice and had the Tuna and Salmon with all of the toppings along with a splash of Yuzu Citrus. Overall it was a decent meal in terms of taste but the portion sizes were a bit small.

Good food and reasonable prices for lunch breaks or take out. Loved the burrito they make and poke bowls are really good..
Came in on a Friday around 4:40pm and ordered a poke bowl for my daughter and 3 rolls that came with miso soup .. my daughter finished her poke bowl before I even got 1 roll ... I had to go up to the counter where all the staff were on their phones to get the miso soup that comes with the rolls. I finally got the rolls and they were delicious- worth the wait!

My dad and I visited for the first time last night. The food itself was good, the portions are nice for the price, and it wasn't the best poke I've ever had but the price of the bowl and the freshness of the ingredients make it worth having eaten. Since this was my first time I didn't realize that you could get an extra or "free" scoop of either spicy tuna or crabmeat on top of the three servings of protein that come included in the bowl. So I approached the counter and the girl asked me if I wanted either spicy tuna or crabmeat, and since I'd already decided what I wanted I told her I wanted both of those. She then said okay, one of those will be free. Looking back, I can see how from her POV what she said made complete sense, but since I wasn't aware you could get one of those IN ADDITION TO the three proteins included and I had chosen those two as two of my three, the way she phrased it confused me, and I thought she was implying that there was going to be an upcharge for the two other proteins of the three included. I stepped back to look at the menu to see if it would help me understand what she was saying, but couldn't figure it out. (There's a red starburst bubble on the proteins panel of the menu that says in very tiny font that you can get an extra scoop of spicy tuna free but I couldn't read it at the time...) I forget what phrasing she switched to but I ended up having to say clearly that I didn't understand what she was saying. I even glanced at the girl standing by who was waiting to add the vegetables and sauce to see if she would be able to help and I got a brief smile from her but nothing else. I don't even remember what kinds of questions I was asking while I was trying to figure out what the first girl had said but it finally clicked--she was saying that I could get a free scoop in addition to the three included proteins. Once I understood I clarified with her and she barely even nodded. I then declined the free scoop, and said thanks but I'll just stick with the three proteins. When she clarified with me she said "so you don't want the third protein?" and I just said yes that's right even though I didn't appreciate the phrasing. I chose my three proteins, two of them just happen to be ones I could have gotten EXTRA for free. I'm nitpicking now, but the whole exchange was so unpleasant, she barely gave me any help and just answered me with nods or blank stares and toward the end I think she rolled her eyes (or closed her eyes so I wouldn't see her roll them). I have a medical condition that makes it difficult for me to even feel a sense of appetite at all while I'm in the middle of a flareup, so I didn't want four servings of protein and was fine with my three, not that that's anyone's business...! I wasn't just being stubborn or difficult, though the way she was reacting to me made me feel like I was doing something wrong. She did not phrase herself clearly when "explaining" the free scoop, and I won't say that's her fault because maybe that's how she was trained to explain it, but I simply didn't understand what she was saying and then just didn't want the free thing she was offering... :-( My dad, who was standing right next to me during this whole exchange, didn't even hear one word the girl was saying the whole time and as soon as we sat down asked me so what was going on/what was she saying? Other reasons for my rating: -the store doesn't answer the phone. My dad left his sunglasses in the store and he lives in South County. I ended up driving over to get them in person without even knowing if they were there (I live in Irvine so I could afford to do that). My dad said he called several times in a row between 11 and 11:30 and nobody ever answered. -the employees, who are pretty young looking, maybe undergrad age, have strange attitudes and demeanors. When I went back this morning to retrieve my dad's glasses, there was a kid

Overall great food! The staff weren't quite knowledgeable on shellfish allergies and how the food was prepared. Fortunately, I like to live life on the edge and am happy to report that the tuna is properly prepared and I did not die ? the bowl was large enough for two meals.

Must be new owner or just new attitudes. The ladies behind the counter had an overwhelming attitude(one of them was Elise). My friend and I drive out here from HB after our morning runs pre pandemic and we remembered everyone was nice especially the older (not too old) gentleman at the checkout. Today, I told the lady, I wanted rice in my bowl and automatically, she puts white rice not asking me if i wanted green tea rice or white. I asked, "what happened to the green tea rice?", she looks and stares at me, then she gets another bowl, puts about 3/4 full in to the bowl leaving just a small space for my proteins at that point. They have a good selection of protein but they give very little this time, not sure what happened . This is probably why they fill the bowl with rice . Food was ok. Usually, I could taste the sauce more, today the ginger sesame sauce was almost bland. We always eat outside. Recommend? I'll have to try and come back again and see if something changes after this .

I like this place well enough. I have eaten here many times. I am not afraid of getting food poisoning here. It is not scary. It is just the right / perfect amount of food for me. I feel like it is not too expensive for what it is.Parking: No issues parking
