| - This place is so good!
I like this place a lot and I'm so excited about it. The place is really bright and clean, service was quick and friendly but the real star is the poke!
I went for a build-your-own bowl. The pre-made bowls also looked good but I wanted something a bit more customized to my liking. If you're not sure what would go with what or are overwhelmed thinking about what to get, the pre-made bowls are the way to go!
The way it works is you choose your base, which is either a rice or chopped kale, then you can choose a protein, I chose the salmon, which is sashimi style cubes tossed in some type of creamy dressing. Then you can pick your toppings, I chose avocado, crab salad and mango. I'm happy I went with mango, I felt like it needed something sweet, without it, it would have been lacking in something, but that's just my opinion, I love sweet and savory combinations in food. Lastly, you choose your sauce and garnishes, I went with all the garnishes, which includes scallions, sesame seeds, radish to name a couple and the spicy mayo. I might try one of the shoyu sauces next time as I felt mine to be almost overly mayo-y but it was still delicious.
Every bite was a bit different. You'll get different things in each bite and in different combinations, it's textually pleasing and refreshing, not overly heavy but a great portion for lunch or even dinner. I finished the whole large portion but was probably more than full. If you have a very large appetite you may not be full from this meal but for an average appetite, it's plenty.
Unlike some people, I found the protein portion to be pretty good for the price, I had a piece of salmon in almost every bite and they were nicely sized chunks. Perhaps they've improved this based on reviews. For $12 and some change including tax, I'd say it's a good value. They also have a snack size for $6.99 + tax.
I went at around 4:45 on a Tuesday and there was one person waiting for their food ahead of me, but once I placed my order it was ready within 5 minutes. They did run out of the red tuna but they mentioned this right away and luckily I was looking for salmon. I'm not sure when they are most busy but if they're expecting a dinner rush, they might want to work on their inventory control so as to have everything available.
It is mainly a takeout place, there is a bar to sit and eat but no wait service or anything like that. The service was friendly and quick. They mentioned right away that they were sold out of something so I wouldn't be disappointed after ordering which is a good customer service experience.
Overall a great first experience for me, I loved my bowl and will be back to try some different combinations!
