| - I am a huge fan of poke ever since I've had it in Huntington Beach. I know it's not Hawaii, but I love tuna, especially the ahi kind, and was super stoked when an establishment like this opened in the Phoenix area. And you know what, this place did not disappoint.
I have already been here a couple times, the first time was when it opened. Nothing has changed, which is good, which means it's consistent. My husband and I opted to share the large bowl both times. The regular bowl is $8.75 and comes with two scoops of fish, while the large comes with 3 scoops for $10.75. You can get salad, rice (white or brown), or none if you'd like. The concept is very like Chipotle, only with poke. I would recommend getting avocado because anything avocado tastes good and you get a heaping scoop for only $1 more.
The scoops you choose are gathered into a large metal bowl and tossed together with your choice of sauce. We opted for house spicy both times. They have various toppings to add to your poke. I love the seaweed, fish eggs, and sesame seeds because they add texture, taste good, and make for a great Instagram picture. Seating is plenty, ambiance is really modern-esque, and the carry Luzianne iced tea! The only downside to this joint is that it's not too close to where I live, otherwise I'd be there every week, but I heard they're expanding, so hopefully one will be by me very soon or by you.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves poke.
For the Scottsdale area, the price is very decent and it's right next to a Starbucks, where you can go get your coffee fix right after. Overall, clean restaurant, great service, great prices, and tasty food.
