Heard plenty of good things about this place and wanted to try it out for a really long time. Finally got to try this place out over the long weekend. I ordered the Molakai bowl and some musubi's.
I first thought this bowl came with salmon and ahi tuna mix but apparently you can only get 1 choice of the two kinds of fish. On their menu it was a bit misleading as it says Salmon/Ahi tuna, so I didn't know you are only allowed to choose one or the other. All the other ingredients that came in this bowl were all pretty tasty. Personally, I don't really like so much seaweed salad and they gave a lot of it, I guess next time I can request them to not put any in my bowl... They are pretty generous in the cuts of fish they give in the bowls.
Pretty big chunks of fish, however there was a bit of a fishy smell so it that kind of gave me the indication that the fish is not all quite fresh... I did order poke on a scorching hot Saturday afternoon and it was very warm inside their store as well... but I don't know if that is any reason for the fish to smell a little and bits of the fish was turning brown. The musubi's were also very bland and not very tasty. Couple of bites you only taste a a bit of satlyness from the slab of spam and the rice was very plain, considering its suppose to be made with sushi rice and I can tell that they did not put enough vinegar to make the rice to give it a bit of sweetness.
The staff working there that day were not as friendly and welcoming upon my visit. As I mentioned it was very warm inside their store so maybe the AC had blown out and it was too hot?, so they were more grumpy? Who knows..
Pretty disappointed in the hype of this place, the taste and quality of their bowls weren't what I expected. Only take away is that their toppings are not bad but that's just about it.
