Came in around 3:45 pm on a Wednesday and it was empty. The modern, simplistic, upscale decor is definitely attempted, but it wasn't enough for it not to still feel oddly industrial, and like the space didn't fit the vision. It was just off. Especially behind the counter it all seemed very homemade so it was hard to be convincing that it was upscale modern when you look behind the counter and it looks like someone's home kitchen.
The young girl who greeted us was very nice, explained the menu, but couldn't tell us about their most eye catching, IG famous menu item which is the Pineapple Express, served in a half pineapple. But she was very sweet and didn't charge me for adding avocado to my burrito because we had never been there before. Which I'm certainly grateful for because the amount of avocado she added to my burrito wouldn't have been worth the up-charge.
The service was pretty slow compared to other poke places, and my friend got the half pineapple item which required someone special in the back to cut it which extended the preparation even further. My burrito which had been waiting at the register in the meantime, got handed to another customer who left and then had to be tracked down to retrieve it and it was kind of a mess for a second there. We walked out of there like "whew we made it".
That all being said, the food was tasty, but it didn't rate so well in every other way. Hey, if it tastes good then maybe that doesn't matter. But it did affect my overall opinion.
I got a burrito with brown rice and the rice was slightly hard but surely nothing that would make me stop eating it. The seaweed wrap became so soggy from the time it was made to the time I began eating it that i couldn't take a clean bite. Each bite resulted in this catastrophic avalanche of ingredients falling out all over my hands and onto the paper beneath. lol it was a friggin mess eating that thing!! I had stuff falling out all over the place and sauce all over my hands. So it tasted good, YES. But it was messy AF to eat and simply knowing sushi burritos shouldn't be like that was something I can't ignore. I think the girl added way too much sauce and really didn't wrap it that well so it was kind of a bummer to have this good tasting meal that was a mess and falling apart. I finished my burrito with a fork so in my humble opinion, burrito skills not on point here, guys. Do it right or don't do it at all.
Thank God they give you wet wipes in the bag because I needed one like I had just eaten a half rack of ribs.
The price point here is good, you certainly don't feel like you've been over charged and the food tastes good if nothing else. So it's worth trying but in my opinion I'd have to have a much different experience overall for them to merit 5 stars.
