I am a big fan of the rapper Action Bronson's show called F Thats delicious and he introduced me to Poke as a hawaiian classic like 3 seasons ago. Looked like a watermelon salad and I was dying to try it.
Well 2 years later and its my first go; and damn! Im in love. On a hot summer day this was so refreshing. Even tho it was cold - i ordered the Mauna Loa Bowl which has lots of spicy content (spicy salmon, spicy seaweed salad, spicy cucumbers and jalapeno) and i asked them to top it off with the spicy aioli. Goodness! How could something so spicy somehow manage to still feel cool going down to my belly. Salmon was jelly soft and tender. The edamami and cucumbers would give it the crisp so that your bites are even. Even the brown rice had a great taste to it. I added some Togarashi to add some more flavour.
All the ingredients we crispy and fresh and the place was clean. Seems like it will be busy. For $12 for the regular, I am completely full but also feel like I made the right decision health wise.
Overall fulfilling in taste, portion and a semi-clear conscience, asked them to go heavy on the spicy aioli (dont poke me to death for it).
