| - Maybe it was the time of night (around 8pm) or because it was a boring Tuesday night complete with the VP debate on which presidential hopeful's foundation is more crooked (even though the question was about North Korea), but Soulfish Poké was not busy at all when I arrived. There was literally just a couple at the counter completing their order, while I went about taking photos of this pleasantly decorated casual dining restaurant in the same plaza as SkinnyFat's SW location. Even the normally packed parking lot was sparsely populated with just a dozen or so cars, probably all belonging to employees working at the restaurants that are still open.
So the guy holding down the fort alone had plenty of time to walk me through the ordering process. As this is my very first time at one of these Poké Bowl restaurants (which is the hottest restaurant to open at the moment in Las Vegas) I seriously thought I was done once I narrowed down my pick to the signature combos on one of their boards, but Matt, yes the guy mentioned in many previous reviews and tips, informed me that I still need to pick a base before the rest of the poké bowl could be assembled.
So for "Passion" (their most popular item) which consists of Ahi Tuna, Green Onion, Ginger, Sesame Seeds, Seaweed and Sesame Wasabi Glaze I overcame my past negative experience at Whole Foods with sushi roll made with healthy brown rice and decided to give Brown Rice another shot. Maybe it was the sauce, or the Tempura Crunch add-on, but this turned out to be really good. Definitely recommended for first timers or anyone overwhelmed by the billions of potential ingredient combinations and temporarily incapable of formulating a timely decision.
Spicy Spirit (Salmon, Jalapeños, Cucumber, Pineapple, Mango, Sriracha Powder, Teriyaki) was my second poké bowl, which I customized by opting for the recommended Quinoa and Mixed Greens, and sauced with Sweet Chili Gochujang Sauce (instead of Teriyaki). It was simply delicious. The heat from the jalapeño slices was good, but eventually exceeded my Scoville Heat Units (SHU) tolerance limit. The Quinoa on Mixed Greens combination made this truly a Poké Salad that is tasty and healthful.
Was it worth giving Netflix a break and getting out of the house? Is the election process rigged? Is it a bad idea to provide taxpayer money to build a Las Vegas stadium for the Raiders? Does adding good vanilla ice cream to a good apple pie makes it just that much better? Yes. Yes. YES. Yes.
It was definitely worth getting out of the house, driving past Desert Breeze Park, avoiding the peril of potentially running over any preoccupied Pokémon Go players that might dart out of the shadows, and the occasional bad drivers.
This would also be great for those looking for healthy alternative to break the doldrums of having to eat the same weeklong menu of a typical meal prep routine.
Oh yeah, no fountain drinks offered, but they have cans and bottles of beverages in a small fridge, as well as brewed teas to go with the rest of your order.
Highly recommended.
