I'm a big fan of poke bowls but this was pretty bad. First When I walked through the door I smelled a strange odor immediately. I didn't turn around immediately because it wasn't a fishy rotten smell, so maybe I could still give them a try. Then I noticed it was quite warm in the restaurant, as if the A/C was out or on low. Difficult to keep raw seafood fresh at these warm temps. Then the decor and color is so plain and unwelcoming. Not particularly clean and bright. Nothing you'd expect from a relatively new fresh poke Joint. So within the first 30 secs i was quite turned off.
But I forged ahead and got their recommended Sin City bowl, their most expensive signature bowl. Has all the fish I usually like. It took less than a minute to prepare. Visually, it was quite plain, no pop of colors, unlike other poke places I frequent. Then the taste - very very subpar, to be nice. The "Screaming" sauce was so bland. No taste at all (or appetizing taste). The only thing it was screaming to me is "No! Don't ever get this again". The fish was room temp warm. Then the mango - there is no way this can be fresh. It added an awkward sweet, but rancid taste to my bowl.
I'm thinking the whole time I'm eating "boy I hope I don't get sick". This is the only place I can remember that I am thinking more about not getting sick than about the food. Oh, and the total bill for the frightening experience is $14 (no drinks).
