| - I really wanted to love this place. I figured that if the restaurant was able to open up a second location, then it must be that good to be able to afford a location in Summerlin. It's the closest poke place to me, so I would've loved to be able to drive up Town Center Dr whenever I needed a good poke fix. But alas...
I came with a friend on Thursday around 5:30PM. We were greeted by the staff upon entering, which was nice. They have lots of seating and even have a patio with lights. Very cute! But the wait man. THE WAIT WAS SO LONG. These poke places are supposed to be like assembly lines. You're supposed to walk in, order what you want down the line, and then be out the door. BUT THIS WAIT WAS RIDICULOUS. I know this place just opened, but I've been to plenty of other similar establishments in both Vegas and SoCal--I've never waited this long before. Just watching the employees move so slowly was so excruciatingly painful.
The price point is just right. They had less premade combos than Soho, but it seemed like they had more sauces to choose from. I enjoyed The Omega bowl I got, and my friend liked his Stupid Good Tuna burrito enough. Initially I felt like the honey sesame aoili had a weird thick viscosity to it and tasted a little odd, but it definitely grew on me. Also, their ingredients were very very fresh.
They also have a rewards program.
Overall, I felt like the food was very good, but that wait just killed me. Maybe I'll come back in another 3 months and see if they've picked up their speed.
4 stars for the food
-1 star for the ridiculously long wait
