My first experience with North Poke was months after they opened. It was disappointing because the reviews hyped me up. It was so fishy, I just thought maybe it was nearing end of day. I imagined my salmon sat all day. Today I had it again at Pusateri's, I was pretty excited and I wanted to just snack on protein so that's all I got a bowl of Waimea protein ($10.95). Now although this wasn't fishy, thank God. I couldn't help but just taste the sauce and onions. I couldn't even taste the salmon and edamame cos the sauce just overpowers it. I also noticed that it was poorly sliced. The meat was very grainy and there were tiny bones here and there. I really wanted to give this place a shot given the rave reviews. I'll stick to my 2 go-to spots for now Poke Guys and Pokito (their proteins taste fresh even at night before closing when I usually go for dinner)
