| - Day 3 of Poké Week and their box was quite enjoyable. But before I get into that, I just wanted to mention the great vibe this place had. The place is just a few weeks old so the staff had that wonderful enthusiasm that I hope doesn't wither as they establish themselves. Keep it up, team!
We were given a customized box that consisted of salmon, seaweed salad, crab salad, edamame, pineapple, zucchini noodles, crispy ramen, crispy onions, house sauce, spicy mayo, sesame seeds and sushi rice. You may have just read that and thought, "Wow! Look at all those ingredients!". Now here's what I have to personally say about this: dis tew much. Mind you, I loved the house sauce and the crunchy ramen but again, it was too much. There was way too much going on. With all that's going on, you would think that they would have some avocado in there which is a key ingredient in a poké bowl, or in their case, a box. With all the ingredients, the amount of fish was also not as generous as I had hoped especially compared to previous poké spots. If I had to pay full price for the amount of fresh fish, I would've been a little disappointed.
If I may, I'd recommend cutting down on the extra ingredients such as edamame, pineapple and zucchini noodles or at least instead of the noodles, present it in small cubes. Also, please throw some avocados in there. If you're going to skimp out on the fish, the avocados will at least add some of the buttery texture and flavour to the dish. It would also probably go great with your house sauce.
I'd rate the box itself 3/5 but overall rating a 4/5 as I'd still like to be considerate of their warm hospitality and also the presentation.
