| - To see roll is arguably the best poke place in Vegas, to some people...
As far as value goes they're pretty cheap and the poke is decent. I really like how they just put up some additional menu items like kale, edamame, tofu, and corn. But for the cons, they are always inconsistent.
Almost every time I go, they give almost random quantities of sides and protein. Take for example one experience; I went in and asked for a very little bit of imitation crab and little bit of masago, but when they finished making my bowl the entire surface looked like a carpet of masago.. aaand the imitation crab amounted to a huge scoop of ice cream.
I'm not sure if it's a communication thing, but it feels like I can't really make any adjustments to my order because they don't really hear it, or they just don't care?
Another thing that sort of bothers me is the sauce, they sort of drench the poke protein in it, which can come off as too much and even worse is when they pour it in the bowl. It's not appetizing having an inch of liquid at the bottom of my poke. Also when you add avocado it's so tiny, like literally not even a full slice piece..
A pro though is the interior is really clean. The only issue with the inside is that the front entrance always smells of this weird sulfur or egg scent that's kind of unappetizing.
But all that isn't enough for me to give it only 3 stars, the single reason was because of an experience I had with bad service. It wasn't busy at the time but I'm pretty sure the workers had a bad day when I went in, because as soon as I went in they were just really rude.
After each protein I asked for they even tossed the scoops back angrily at the container. Maybe they were mad at working so early or had a disagreement with another coworker? Either way though it was off putting, awkward, and it sort of made me not want to eat there.
I don't think I ever felt so awkward ordering food before, but as a rule of thumb an uninviting environment can do a lot even if the food and value is decent. It's part of the atmosphere after all..
I would give this place 4 stars but I just don't think I can when other establishments like pokenometry in California taste better, gives more avocado, smells more appetizing inside, and is more consistent.
To see is a good stop and had potential, but I just can't say it's a 4/5 star place just yet.
