| - I will be back - let's get that out of the way. I went in and kind of felt blind since there was no menu to grab, or anything to go off of when you walk in the door. However, I soon realized it is set up like Chipotle; pick your mode, protein, and toppings down the line and voila! I was originally going to get a bowl, but when I saw how the rice was steamy and then they put the raw fish on top with the other cold toppings, I felt like this pairing was sacrilege - and would not pass the freshness test on my trek back to work. So I went with the Poke Roll (a sushiritto!). Got double salmon; they sort of make you choose a crab mix and a seaweed salad. I was not really a fan of either, to be honest. The seaweed salad is stringy and gets stuck in your teeth, and really didn't lend much as far as flavor goes. I'll opt out of both the next time. What I really didn't appreciate was the oil on my seaweed wrap. I understand the importance of a non-stick situation when you're banging out rolls, but at the expense of an oily sushi roll? Hard Pass. All in, the salmon was a good consistency, but could have been colder - this can be solved by popping it into the freezer for a few minutes before digging in. The rice was perfect, the available toppings were colorful and fresh - the taste was great, but I will try it in a bowl next time - and ask for cold rice! They get extra points for the little to-go containers of ginger and wasabi ;)
