Pleasantly surprised. Many options to choose from when your creating your bowl and healthy options also. Think of it as upscale version of Pole bowl. Will definitely be back and try different combos.

The food has so much flavor and the options for building your bowl are a great variety. The fish is fresh and the people working are really nice and helpful.

My friend was hyping this place up so I decided to see if he spoke some truth to his statements. It didn't disappoint, but it didn't hit it out of the park either. Interior is very presentable. Clean and new. There are a lot of choices to pick from, but you get a limited quantity per category. You have their base, two base toppings, two scoops of protein, five toppings, two sauces (unfortunate), and then two sprinkles. The taste of the fish by itself is okay. Sauce is really good though. I was surprised at how much it was (about $3 more than what I'm used to paying) but their portions are very generous. I could not finish my bowl in one sitting when I always do. Hopefully the next time I come back, I'd find my go-to recipe!

Ever get a text response from someone a month later? They weren't in the ER, no one died...they were just...busy? Girl, I am too. Sometimes, you have to choose where the bus stops and when it keeps going. Life is too short to waste your energy. Want thee perfect poke bowl? Don't waste your energy, and literally run to Omee J. Kinda sounds like someone's name, but hey, the poke was super fresh, and they have thee best toppings and sauce selections I've seen around. The bowl starting price is ~$2/$3 more than what I'm used to, but I think it's totally worth it as long as you are one to look for quality. The regular priced bowl comes with your choice of two proteins, and a set amount of toppings (I loved how they had crab salad as well as beets as toppings choices). The toppings were all fresh. The place itself is clean, bright, and has nice wooden furnishings. Service was great.

We've eagerly awaited the opening of this restaurant and it did not disappoint! I want umami vegetarian. My bestie wants spicy seafood. My mother, flavorful meat. We all got exactly what we wanted and we'll be back. It was very fresh. Portion sizes enough for two meals. Happy and clean location. Hope they do a package price for students. I appreciate that I can be confident I'm getting true vegetarian- so many restaurants don't know the difference between vegetarian vs vegetable. We're happy to have craveable, healthy, fresh meals within walking distance.

A lil pricey but the bowl was delicious and fresh. I will definitely be going back! I ordered the garlic shrimp as my protein tasted fresh and delicious. Wish they had a self order screen.

Tried this place for the first time and I can see why so many people have raving reviews! A great place that offers variety of options to poke bowl. The place is new and clean so walking in felt good. From the start, it tells you how to order and what kind of selections you want. Same with any other poke place where you choose your base, protein, toppings, sauces, and sprinkles. I like how fresh their fish is! I like how you can do up to 20 toppings! So they definitely don't skimp on that. What is great is that you can order sides. I was told they have kimbap and I really wish I could try it but they were sold out by the time I came. But I do want to come back for that and also do their sotteok rice cake and sausage ! Yes the bowl can be pricy but what isn't pricy nowadays. Shoutout to the service. Very kind and friendly!

Great way to build your own poke bowl. Lots of choices for proteins, veggies, sauces and more.

GREAT FOOD! Spacious interior and clean. It wasn't too busy, but we went there 5 min prior to closing time. Thank goodness they were still able to take us (sorry about that tho!). Staff were really nice and helpful in recommending certain sauces to go w/ our food. What we ordered: my bf got purple rice, grilled veggies, grilled corn, chicken, salmon, crab meat, carrot, daikon, pickled cabbage, mango, tofu. Sauces were: lemon dill and cilantro. So tasty! Ingredients, flavor, portion size....everything was spot on. For mine, I got: purple rice, grilled veggies, grilled corn, steak, spicy tuna, spicy crab meat, tofu, carrot and daikon, pickled cabbage, and cucumber. Sauces were: spicy mayo and sweet chili. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MINE. Only thing I would change is prob no crab next time but otherwise, it was delicious. 100% recommend and yes, I will be back!

Situated in a big plaza, this place is easy to find and not hard to park. They close at 8pm though, so not a place you can hang out for a late dinner. In a nut shell, it's a poke place. They have a few steps to guide you through getting the ingredients. Overall, the ingredients are fresh, and I like that they have some cooked non-fish protein choices, such as grilled chicken and steaks. The veggies are fresh and at 7pm (an hour before closing) they are still replenshing with fresh trays instead of calling sold out, that I appreciate. They also ask if you'd like to separate the sauce or mix it in, which I find health-conscious. I do hope they become more efficient in assembling the orders as with 4 staff members the line still moves a bit slow. Also, the wasabi sauce is sweeter than the peppery wasabi taste as it's not really a paste but a liquid sauce. In terms of value, they priced 44 oz of food at $17.95 before any options. I keep comparing them to Poke Paradise, which is 32 oz at $18.25 but somehow I felt that Poke Paradise has more choices and the portion is bigger than 32 oz. Nevertheless, they are both good choices.

Jay has done it again! What a beautiful dinner. I love all of the options for meat including fresh salmon, tuna, and spicy versions of both. You get to pick from a slew of different toppings and sauces. I appreciate all of the pickled veggies and wakame as an optional add on. This thing was like a giant sushi roll bowl. It was so delicious! I told my husband I have to come here once a week. Best meal I've had in a long time and super inexpensive with high quality ingredients.

The servers here are very warm, friendly, and patient! The interior is clean and simple, which are all I could ask for in a local neighborhood restaurant. I envision this to be the ideal "gym-friendly" restaurant meal after a good workout at the 49ers gym in Westgate. The bowl itself has a lot of high protein options and ways to customize for a better ratio of calories to protein. Taste wise, I think everything is great! Compared to some poke places that offer unlimited toppings, you can only choose 5 here after getting the basics (base/protein), but compared to the small scoops at other poke places, each topping will be given a good amount (which I like more). Good health and good food will never fail to make me feel good. While the sotteok may not be as macro-friendly, it was the right amounts of sweet, savory, spicy, crispy, and juicy. I am pleased much so with this meal.

Food was ok. Sauce was the good part. Portion is small and very expensive bowl. The service is lacking. The server behind the counter was not excited to help. It was my first time and no help was to explain the process. Won't be back for second time.
