| - Just ate here yesterday and I was very impressed. I've been to AhiPoki and Pokitrition but Pokedon tops in terms of freshness and variety. I had yellowtail, salmon and tuna bowl with many of the standard options (seaweed salad, crab salad, edename) but I never had a PokeBowl with pineappple before and it was a great contrast to the other flavors. I had the garlic ponzu and it was the best sauce I've ever had on a poke bowl, even compared to the bowls I've had in Southern CA where Poke has been a trend for at least 2.5 years now.
I do like that they have grill options. I didn't try any on my first visit but since my kid doesn't do raw fish it's nice to have options for her. One thing to note, the online menu at this time has Gyudon (Beef Bowl), which was another reason I trekked from south tempe to this spot, but sadly they don't. They do have steak teriyaki but Gyudon is completely different.
Great place, looking to try again sometime this week.
Update:
They now have Gyudon and it's excellent. I love their Poke but sometimes I'll come here just for Gyudon. Have some with red/pink ginger and it's a great filling meal. There's only two other places that I know of that serve Gyudon in the local area, one in Tukee which is also very good but a bit pricey and one in the Chinese mall in Mesa which I'm not fan of. Also, I've had their Chicken Teriyaki, eggrolls and gyoza, all very good to excellent as well. Just so you know this isn't a bogus review, I had their Chicken Katsu and I wasn't a fan. Maybe it was just a bad day in an otherwise consistently great place to eat for Asian dishes.
