| - My husband and I went here for dinner recently and we loved it!
I checked Yelp before we went and it looks like they have changed a few things. They didn't have a paper that you fill out what you want, so you have to tell staff (more environmentally friendly this way; I approve). Also there is no longer a $1.50 charge for avocado, pineapple or mango. Toppings are also limited to 6, above that you pay $0.50 per additional topping. Vermicelli and Israeli Couscous are no longer available as bases, but Quinoa is now available. Since they are relatively new, I guess they are making changes to find out what works best for their business.
So there are set bowl combinations you can order with cute names like Mahalo (which is the Hawaiian word for 'thank you") and Aloha. Or you can build your own bowl. The price of your bowl depends on the protein you choose and whether you stay below the 6 toppings limit or not.
Both my husband and I built our own bowl with shrimp and 6 toppings ($12.99). I got the brown rice base, with carrots, kale, broccoli, mango, cucumbers and avocados. I got the Ginger Ponzu sauce on the side. My husband got the quinoa base, with bean sprouts, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, mango, pineapple and carrots. He got the Teriyaki sauce mixed in.
So at the end, you can get taro chips or fried onion pieces added to your bowl for free. I chose the former and my husband chose the latter.
On the day we were there they also had free miso soup and free tea. If you wanted miso soup the staff give you a bowl filled with corn kernels, shredded carrots, bean sprouts and green onions, then you get your own broth from a container that looks like a coffee dispenser. The free tea the day we went was mint and mango tea (self serve from a similar looking container).
I loved my poke bowl. The ingredients blended together really well and the portion was large. I liked having the sauce on the side so I could control how much I put in. I don't like too much sauce or dressing on my food though. My husband had his sauce mixed in and he didn't find it over-sauced or too wet.
I loved the taro chips!! So crispy and delicious. The brown rice was slightly sticky, just the way I love it. All ingredients tasted fresh and I loved how finely the kale was chopped.
The avocado was added at the end with an ice cream scoop. This was perfect as mixed in it would be all mushy.
The miso soup was satisfactory. The broth was weak in flavour and not all that hot in temperature. Great for free, but I wouldn't buy it. The tea on the other hand was fantastic! It was pre-sweetened and so full of mango flavour. I would definitely buy it.
Decor is cute with Hawaiian paraphernalia. Staff were nice.
I would definitely return. Can't wait to have poke here again!
