Here at 6:30pm when they close at 9pm and they are "out of rice". Not like it will be 20 minutes. As in "no rice period". Cool story bro.

I had been coming to this place since they opened. LOVED IT! However I had SEVERE food positioning here 3 months ago. To the point where I was vomiting for 2 days straight. I am not sure what happened? I don't see how poisoning your customers is good for business? I would think the priority for a raw fish food establishment would be making sure the fish is fresh. BE careful!

The young man who helped me went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I wanted! I had never been there before so I had no idea what to get, but he was so kind and helpful. Very hard worker. I didn't get his name but that man deserves a raise! Great Poké too :)

Amazing food and service here. Ratio of food is great. Food quality is just superior. I enjoyed the boba drinks as well! Will be returning very soon and definitely recommend for the next time you eat out for lunch or dinner.

This place has been my favorite for a while now. The workers were very kind and helpful. Store is always clean. The food is like no other! Delicious with so many options to choose from. The ratio of the food is on point. I also love the tasty boba drinks there. This place is definitely my go-to. Give it a try!

This was my go to for years. I haven't visited for months but today I decided to order a medium. Usually I will not be able to finish as it's packed. Today, not much rice and spring mix. Also no more masago and the topping is now limited to 2 choices. Price went up, portion size went down. Service was great though.

Please be advised, before leaving this location, check the freshness of your food. I use to go to this location a lot and everything was fresh. However, today, I decided to drop by after a long time of not going in. When I got to work with my food, the smell of the ingredients was bad. I attempted to taste the food and it was dry and still smelled of old fish. I also tried calling the location, the number was disconnected. Buyer beware when going in, that the ingredients are old.

I got food poison due to their bad salmon. I use to love this place. Never went back.
!!PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT!! I have no idea what is going on with their fish handling practices. But I had bad fish here. I'm not the only one. I had one bite and on the second bite in my mouth I could smell the distinct smell fish that's gone bad. Smelled rotten. I immediately gagged and spit the food out! I returned right away to let them know, and immediately the young lady behind the counter asked me if I wanted a refund. Of course I did!! She was so fixated on getting me a refund and totally disregarded my point to inspect the fish. At that point, I believe they were going to continue to serve it.It wasn't until she left to the back to talk on the phone, presumably to the manager about a password, that I asked the other worker in Spanish to please taste the fish. Particularly the salmon. He indeed tasted a couple different fish, and he confirmed that the salmon was bad and pulled it. Yup it's the salmon! I eat raw fish as part of my diet and you can tell when fish is not good by looking at it, it has a cloudy look or slimy feel. And you can definitely confirm it by smelling it. If anything is off, you just throw it away. Raw fish is their main product!! They should know exactly the quality and the condition of their seafood. I came back to work and my head was definitely hurting and my stomach was in knots. I don't know if I was starting to get sick or if it was all in my head that I ate rotting food. But it definitely stayed with me all day. I commented to my coworker that my stomach was turning without mentioning exactly what had happened. He told me that two weeks ago he had food and that he got sick. Well, guess where he ate??!! He ate at Poké Bar and he had the salmon. That was enough for me to jump on here and write a review. I would never talk bad about a business, as with most things everyone can have an off day. Most things we can even give a second shot. But this kind of practice could definitely get someone very sick. If anyone at the business reads this: You are breaking the trust of your community and are on the downhill side of losing your business base. It is apparent with your other one star reviews that people are being informed that you guys serve bad food, and at this point you guys are KNOWINGLY doing so. If you do not intend to fix anything, just close your doors now so you don't take anyone down with you.

Just not good. I had the poke which is “build your own”. First of all, ordering is a complicated process and it just takes way too long. But most importantly it doesn’t taste good. The poke was unseasoned and there was too much rice in comparison to toppings. I also got the boba which honestly tasted like alcohol to me.

Rice was soggy like portage. Two workers had the worst customer service ever. When i told the workers about the Rice they just said they knew already and shrugged their shoulders. I asked for my money back and left. How do you wear an In n Out shirt while working at a Poke restaurant? Tha KS I'll go there instead

STAY AWAY!Yikes, wish I had read these reviews before ordering. It has to be the worst poke I've ever had and I've had quite a few! The fish has this awful, old sour taste that grossed me out. I hadn't eaten all day so I ate it anyway. Of course it sent me to the bathroom after like most 1 star reviews here.Never again!!!
