| - NOT A PLACE FOR THOSE WITH DECISION PARALYSIS.
Poke Bar is a chain from California and I think I actually have visited a prior location and also been overwhelmed. It's like Chipotle, but with no context- I've had plenty of burritos and have a good idea of what things will go together, but I haven't made many poke bowls (or any poke bowls).
First you pick your size, which is # scoops of protein + base. I got a small which had a nice small bowl size of white rice and two scoops of protein. You can choose brown rice, white rice, tortilla chips, or salad. Then there are something like EIGHT kinds of protein to choose from. I'm a math person so I can tell you that there are a LOT of combinations here. I picked salmon, which is a good standby, and albacore.
Next you slide down to the mix-ins. I picked cucumber, masago, and green onion. Too much green onion for me, but was that my fault? I'm not sure! I should've picked onion, maybe? Also there are like eight mix ins and you can pick any of them.
When they mix your proteins with your mix-ins you can also choose any combination of like six sauces? I picked spicy mayo, ponzu, and sesame oil, and have no idea what contributed what flavors to my bowl. But it was a suggested sauce-mix from a little laminated piece of paper they had on hand. There were six or eight combinations of sauce mixes there too. It was too much.
Surprise! It comes with two sides! Luckily there are only three to choose from. I can unequivocally support the seaweed salad (yum!) and the crab salad. So I would guess the third choice is also good.
Then just in case you haven't made enough choices there are toppings at the end. Furikake, sesame seeds, nuts, crispy garlic, crispy onions (like the ones on top of green bean casserole). I said I wanted it all, and I think I only got garlic and onions. But those are great. Too many crispy onions. See my picture.
After the hassle of ordering, and they were very nice through all that, you get your poke bowl. It was tasty? If you've had poke before this is just a normal poke place, not super fresh and amazing and fancy but still fine. If you haven't had it before I suggest you try it, if only for the experience.
This is how they could increase stars: have suggested bowls! Like "salmon+tuna+onion+house sauce + garlic" or something. Name them after the employees or cool customers. It's too overwhelming as is.
