North Poke has been on my list for months - after all, you can only read "but not as much protein as North" in other poke reviews so many times before you realize you need to see the real deal for yourself. And though I liked North Poke, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan. It's true, the protein is plentiful. I also really enjoyed the taro chips atop my Waimea bowl (and the fact that they have a snack size? Fantastic!) but there was something about my meal that was just not right, and I sense it was this very "fishy" flavour emanating from the dish that didn't quite do it for me. As a poke aficionado I've had my fair share of fresh salmon and tuna (or so I'd like to think!) but comparable places served fish that was fresher - in my view. I'm sure there will be many to disagree with me as North has come to be an extremely popular joint for getting one's poke fix, but it just wasn't my favourite (I would say Lahuna can't be beat). The taro chips, however - crazy good. You've gotta try them!
