| - POKE IS HERE AND I AM HERE FOR IT! What a cool place. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never had much poke around the CLE, but I loved this spot. It's in Tremont, so be prepared to be patient when looking for street parking.
Alexia, the manager, was super helpful. She walked me through the process. Pick your size (small, medium, large), base (white rice, lettuce), protein(s) (tofu, tuna, chicken, salmon, oysters, shrimp), and choice of dressing. I ordered a medium bowl with white rice, shrimp/scallops, edamame, cucumber, seaweed salad, mango, and kimchi. I got the green curry and yum yum sauces on the side. To my surprise, they ended up being pretty tasty when mixed together in the bowl (likely the mix of spicy and mild). The medium was MORE than enough food and I loved every bite.
The bowl was supeeeerrrrr satisfying. It was fresh, colorful and took my mind off the carby lunch I had that I later hated myself for. The inside of the restaurant is super cute with comfortable chairs, a good atmosphere and bright lights both inside and outside (cute Christmas lights on the bushes). The staff seemed like they genuinely care about what they do, and if you live in the neighborhood, you get a 10% discount! What great people and great food. I'll be back all the time.
