| - So my goal is to try all the new Poke places that are popping up all over town. My Yelp Challenge 2016. I'm excited to try a new place since I'm obsessed with Poke bowls and my usual is Soho Sushi Burrito.
First impression, price is just a couple dollars steeper than Soho. I got the "large" which gives you three scoops of protein. Only thing is, their scoops are pretty pathetic. A scoop of their bay scallop literally four pieces of little baby scallops. I can't imagine getting a small bowl. You'll literally have 3 small squares of fish. Although, seaweed salad and the imitation crab mix here is a standard inclusion in their bowl. It's extra for those items at Soho. They also have little toppings like Furakake, Crispy Garlic, Dry Seaweed Flakes, etc that you can add to customize your bowl. I would say that their "large" is equivalent to Soho's 2 protein, BUT Pokeman's free scoop of crab makes up for it. I got the salmon, and octopus & scallops (soho does not carry octopus and scallops) with the Yuzu Aoili.
First bite, mmmmm.. the Yuzu Aoili is flavorful, but not too much where its overpowering the taste of the fish. Pretty yummy, citrusy, creamy taste. Fish is pretty fresh tasting. The bad? OH NO. There was a deng bone in my salmon. lol, thank God I didn't choke on it 'coz I'm literally inhaling this food as I go.
Overall, its pretty good here. I like that the sauces don't mask the flavor of the poke, and they're not too much of a mayo-base like others, I'll visit again, this time to try the sushi burritos..
