| - I was pretty excited when my boyfriend and I found this place over on the east side because we typically drive to Ahwatukee to our usual poke place when we're craving. For being nearby, it's not too bad; however, I'd still make the drive to my fave poke spot.
The fish was fresh, thank goodness, because having a bad experience with poke can really kill ya vibes. The salmon and spicy tuna were good, albeit being rather small portions. Avocado is chunky style (not a fan), but it was fresh. They also offer spicy crabmeat in addition to reg. crabmeat (get the spicy!). The Volcanic Bowl was solid. Lots of toppings, so consequently pretty flavorful. Sauces were good; I recommend mixing the house with the spicy yuzu and adding spicy mayo drizzle on top.
The reason why I wouldn't mind driving a little further for poke is not because of quality per se, but rather for the portion. While it was tasty, the portions for proteins and toppings were quite small compared to what I've received elsewhere! The serving for masago was so sad :( Additionally, I got the white rice and it was kind of hard--maybe just a bad batch.
Overall, it's a good spot for poke for the east side, but for a more decent serving size, try elsewhere.
