| - Q: What is the difference between a piano and a fish?
A: You can tune a piano but you cannot tuna fish.
I know, I know, it seems like I eat a lot of poke --- and for the most part, I do! It's usually on days when I take cycle class and I don't want to eat back the calories I just burned. With that said, I was actually heading next door at Fry's to buy some cojita cheese for a Cinco de Mayo elote chip dip when I saw the light. Like a moth, I was drawn towards it. After poking my head inside, I learned that they were open for business. Whoa! I was just trying to creep around!
This place is heavily Korean influenced, rightfully so since the owners are Korean, and I love it. The kimchi cucumber is a great addition and the rice puff topping is fun. They offer a citrus kale salad base which is a nice option than the usual typical spring mix. Get white rice, brown rice, half-and-half, or a salad. They have a huge selection for toppings, sauces, and mix-ins. Go wild! The portions are generous and the protein is fresh, even at 8ish at night. Their knife cuts are even. I love that they have mangoes, pineapple, corn, and jalapeƱos. I'm a sucker for some sweet and some heat. Make me burn, babie! It's $9.50 for two scoops of protein and $11.50 for three scoops.
The dining space is cozy and they do offer some outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and very patient. There were a lot of poke newbies inside and I don't think I heard even the slightest bit of irritation when they had to keep repeating and explaining things to customers. Since they just opened on May 1st, they even gave us free iced teas because, "it's a celebration!" How can you not fall in love with these guys!?
