I must admit their fusion style is what drew us to try out this place. Unfortunately the ideas on their menu were either not stocked or even ready for the potential upcoming lunch rush (we showed up around 1130ish) so I ended ordering something i wasn't even in to. But it turned out OK- portions are small for their price.

My son had a food poisoning in that place. The fish was not fresh. I would not recommend to go there. They should check the date on the product before sell it. And the place be also dirty.

They're rarely ever open when they say they are. Seems the kids working are very over worked and under trained because nothing holds together or is made right. The fish is hit or miss with freshness so I will not be going back. I wanted to love this place but it just misses the mark severely. Not to mention the ridiculous thin blue line sticker adding to alienate those just wanting to get food without supporting these kinds of people. Hard no for me.

Freaking delicious. And portions are huge. Well worth it. Service is great. Patient and answer questions.

(There's an update at the bottom of the review)The poke is great and the topping selection is solid. I greatly appreciate there being a poke shop so close to home, and the interior is pleasant and clean. But I do worry for the place.The issues with the service there is not a judgement of the employee (yes, singular, there's only been one the last few times I've gone) but of the establishment. The staff there is doing a wonderful job but running an entire poke shop alone must be quite a burden.To make things worse, it seems that they may have closed for good. The last three times I've visited they've been closed. I'm not sure if they have shut down and I hope they have not. Also, Google says they close at 10:00 but they actually close at 8:00 (or more accurately, ~7:45 so the employee has time to prep the store for closing).I wish the place the best, but it doesn't seem to be doing too well.UPDATE: Well, good news, the place is still open as of 9/28. I've been told they're changing owners so a lot of stuff is up in the air right now, specifically their opening/closing hours.

I went in for a poke bowl and noticed the mixed greens on the assembly line looked wilted and slimy, so got rice instead. All the other ingredients looked ok to the eye but I should have trusted my instinct when I saw the old greens. Pretty sure everything had been sitting out or not refrigerated well which I noticed after I started eating the bowl.. felt sick after the first few bites and couldn't eat the rest. Not great for raw fish Wanted a nearby poke bowl place so bad, but sadly it seems like it's just bad food. And for $17.50... There was also a handwritten note on the door saying they were closing at 6.. why not just stick to your published business hours?

On two separate occasions attempted to order food. Online says they’re open until 10 but they close at 8. Tried ordering through DoorDash on a separate day and the store refunded my money stating they were closed even though this was at 6pm… they only have one poor kid running the whole store every time we’ve gone in, very overworked and obviously can’t keep up with demands. Not a huge fan of the blue lives matter sign in the window if I’m being honest. As a black man I feel really uncomfortable but my family likes the food when you can guess the magical hours properly.

Great service, I had a regular bowl with mixed green base and chose a lot of spicy ingredients. It was delicious, the Hawaiin habanero sauce is pretty hot, be ready.

Was excited to try this place cause it’s around the corner from my house. Ingredients were great except the rice tasted like it was a couple days old and stale.

I want to like this place so bad, but the past few times I have just been disappointed . Portions are small ( tiny scoop sizes ) and the staff is very stingy with the toppings. Every time I've come there the avocado is very brown, and they seem to be low on everything. For example, today the container of the seaweed salad was almost empty and I don't know if they have any more in the back, but they just gave me the you they had left, which didn't even cover my PokiburritoLast few times I've gone there by the time I get home my burrito is barely wrapped and falling apart Again, I love the idea of it but size and execution is not worth the money at this place unfortunately

I just love that you can get hot cheeto dust on everything. It was a perfect promotion prize for my 6th grader. What's funner than sushi tacos and burritos and they still made a fantastic poke bowl too!
