Fresh, fast, healthy, customizable. I am obsessed!
My family lives near the Carmel Commons area and we eagerly awaited Umami PokeRito's opening. It did not disappoint.
Choose from set bowls or build your own. I tried Seoul Poke Bowl in South End a few weeks ago - and felt Umami's proteins and ingredients were higher quality. Both are delicious options (don't get me wrong) and healthy alternatives to mayo laden sushi rolls. Same flavor without the fat.
My mom and I split three different bowls: the Sunrise, Tuna Poke and veg-friendly tofu bowl. We loved the peanut sauce on the tofu option. The sunrise had an amazing pickled daikon topping. She and I fought over the last bite! I was also a fan of the seaweed salad accompanying the tuna bowl. We could not pick a favorite - everything made for a delicious balance of fishy goodness!
I echo the similar anecdotes from reviewers on customer service. The owner and workers are incredibly kind, grateful and friendly. They walked us through menu items, answered questions with ease and were genuinely thrilled to serve us.
Umami PokeRito will definitely be a staple in my family's takeout rotation. Love it!
