Henderson vs. Summerlin vs. Downtown. It seems as though all of the different areas of Las Vegas are starting to become more competitive in the culinary battle as more and more new restaurants are sprouting throughout the valley. Soulfish poke had been on my radar for quite a while and upon returning from NYC it seems as though they are open, but how much soul is put into the food? I'm not sure if there is.
Interior: Fairly open setting with the interior reminiscent of a yoga studio, the area is clean with a minimalist menu that actually is very unclear and should include the steps to order the bowl. Utensils along the wall and a basket of straws by the cashier. For the most part the toppings look organized
Order process: All the bowls are the same size with 2 scoops of white rice/brown rice/etc.. Small = 1 fish, Medium = 2 fishes, Large = 3 fishes. Then the toppings and sauce are unlimited so load that bowl up!
Food: The poke itself is meh, difficult to compete when island sushi is right by and their poke is fresh and flavorful. I wouldn't even call it poke because it's just squares of raw fish with no type of seasoning. There are quite a few toppings to choose from that sound good individually, but when combined didn't give any wow factor. The sauce I got was the creamy wasabi which was ok but needed flavor from a decent squirt of sriracha. The bowl looked and tasted quite ordinary.
Service: The guy behind the counter was a bit overzealous and unclear when asked about the process of ordering. When I sat down a different guy had taken over and welcomed customers with "Welcome to Soul food" about 3 times lmao.... kinda sad.
Overall: I can't see myself coming back here when Poke express has great poke, AYCE sushi places are all around, and sushi burritos are taking over Vegas.
