Decided to try this place since it's relatively close to my house. Seems like poke places are popping up lately everywhere and some do it better than others. But I'm my opinion Poke Express is doing better than most of the competition.
Located in a shopping center near EOS and my favorite coffee joint Jozo, it's convenient to the freeway and easily accessible. New glitz and glam her here. A simple store it goes directly to the point of serving some of the freshest and best of poke around.
As soon as you walk in you see the poke display case, reminiscent of a meat or bakery display case. The store itself is tiny. No place to sit really so don't expect to have your food here. Small display rack for traditional island/Hawaiian treats while you wait as well as a shaved ice premade dessert case and cold and freezer case with beverages and even mochi.
There's a wide selection of poke. Everything from a vast selection of tuna to salmon and krab. This day I decided to go with poke a la carte and decide to go with salmon poke with their ponzu sauce and their tuna poke with garlic.
I loved the salmon and ponzu. They also offer a house sauce which from what I understood is on the sweeter side. The salmon was perfect. Very fresh, firm and cut into the perfect bite size pieces. None of that stingy tendon and muscle you'll find at the cheaper poke spots. Color was beautiful and the taste was epic. I gave that a firm 5/5.
Went ahead and did the tuna with garlic. I gave this a 5/5. Taste was fresh and tasty. Color of the tuna was a deep purple pink which is what you're poking for.
They have a 2 scoop with rice special for lunch which was pretty popular but I went ahead and just got half a pound of each.
Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Super clean and welcoming. Definitely will be back!
