Fresh tasting and delicious! Also the price is worth how filling the bowls are! I got the Hawaiian bowl and my husband got the rainbow bowl! We liked both but tended to prefer the rainbow bowl since we both appreciate more spice. We took our food to go mostly because it was so quiet in there, we felt awkward - granted we showed up on a Sunday around 11:30am.Will be back!

Only enjoyed the macaroons. Was my first time the front counter girl didn’t really help me understand how everything works. Didn’t like the bowl too much couldn’t even taste any sauce in it at all ..

They have a punch card and after so many visits you get to turn it in for free side or bowl. Apparently only one manager recognizes it. Couldn't turn mine in. Rude front counter girl explained me the rules. Telling me it's only good with some of them. Wasn't able to turn my stamped ticket in to redeem what was advertised. Place wint get my money anymore

Staff are always very attentive, good 10% discount for CNU staff and students, military, officers, and shipyard w ID. Tonight I stopped in to grab two Rainbow Bowls- my favorites are the Rainbow and Hawaiian Classic in that order. Another recommendation I have is to skip the onions and crispy onions- just a better taste to me. You come in and grab a paper menu and mark on the pages what you want and any adjustments such as my no onions. I was surprised it wasn't busy on a Tuesday evening as CNU students are back and it's close to campus. Also check Groupon for deals for here as they're always on there.

Their poke bowls are delicious and healthy, generous portions, and are always presented with beautiful, clean presentation.

This is a new poke place that I tried on a road trip. All in all, the flavors are pretty solid but I feel that the efforts to keep the place hygienic and clean go on overkill where the smell of Clorox/other cleaning substances affect the overall experience. Also, I realize the need for plexiglass but the ordering system is a little inconvenient as you have TVs that do not project the menu but instead lay out paper menus that have the options for you. All in all, I would say a 3.5 or 4. The food, however, was pretty fresh but nothing too out of the ordinary.

I really enjoyed my bowl, just wish the employee was a little (or a lot) friendlier...if you're going to work people, maybe make it a nice experience and interaction. Unacceptable. She also did not get my order correct, even though the process is to circle your choices...luckily the food was amazing.

Service was great. The lady was very helpful and kind. First time getting ramen here. It wasn't very hot and the egg was overcooked. I've gotten the rainbow poke bowl and that was excellent. The Takoyaki was also good. It's fried octopus and my son loved it. I don't think I will be getting the ramen again, but the poke bowl is great.

Sucks to lose another good spot but my patience for racism is at an all time low. I have spend hundreds here always tip and get treated like a thief every time I visit this place. Not ever black person has a stolen credit card or trying to snatch your tip jar. You should be ashamed.

The place is clean, but it feels cold and empty. Food is fresh, but it's nothing spectacular. The way you place order is impersonal- I get it you mark on the paper menu what items you want and they put that in your bag with your order as a confirmation, but beyond paying for and picking up your order there is limited interaction with staff.I may give it another try.

Yum yum yum If you have never had a poke bowl I encourage you to try it! It is like the IKEA of sushi lol it's all deconstructed in a chipotle type bowl You go through the list and check off what you want then they make it just like that I like that you can get as many toppings as you like I like the poke tuna a lot it is fresh and not too fishy The staff are super sweet here and even sell handmade jewelry The layout is simple with a vacation theme and has a nice feel to it I love the food here and always have leftovers

The bowl itself was fair. The corn kernels were big and tough, the shrimp were small. The rice was good. The spring rolls were the worst I've ever had in my life. Okay on the outside, but gummy on the inside. As far as decor: the lighting was harsh and the seating was uncomfortable. The light switch in the bathroom was broken and the sink was smeared with dirt and grease. For beverages, there are some canned drinks in the fridge, but that's it. Counter person was okay, not exactly helpful, not exactly rude. All in all I'll never go back.
