| - I was excited to see a poke place coming into Gainey village to provide another lunch option for those who work nearby.
The space is really nice, new, and was super clean. If you've been to other poke places, you know the drill. You select what items you'd like and they build your bowl in front of you. You pay up front and then you can select where you sit. Both people working were very friendly and walked us through their offerings since we hadn't been there before.
I got a small bowl with white rice, salmon and tuna, cucumber, seaweed salad, masago, crab salad, red onion and house sauce. Fish tasted fresh and overall the bowl was pretty solid. My bowl came out to about $11 with tax added.
While it was good, I prefer another place close by because of their sauce flavors and the fact that it's a couple of dollars cheaper. Just my personal preference though.
My only other comment was around the time it took to complete my bowl. Perhaps they were just short staffed, but the person to add your toppings also had to cash you out, so there's some waiting time as they go back and forth. Other places are more efficient so you are through the line super quickly. Not a deal breaker, just an observation.
If you've never had poke before though, this is a good place to start.
