| - Veni, vidi, poki.
Same poke bowls, different location. This ahipoki location seems smaller than the Scottsdale restaurant and the dedicated building parking lot is small, although there is plenty of parking surrounding the immediate area. There is a drive through area as well but I'm not sure if they are offering drive through for the bowls.
We went for the soft opening around 2:15 and while there was a steady stream of customers it wasn't extremely crowded. I went with a 2 scoop bowl with salad, house dressing, luau tuna, yellowtail, masago, crab salad, edamame, jicama, seaweed salad, cucumber, seaweed strips, crispy onion, and sesame seed. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and I liked it with the other ingredients except for the crispy onion. The onion bits were too hard and distracted from the other textures in the salad.
I also had an iced tea, which comes unsweetened. It was light and refreshing.
The 2 scoop portion was a little under $9 and the iced tea was $2.99.
Service was fast and friendly.
I've tried the half rice and half salad before and I liked my meal with only salad because all the food is the same temperature vs. the rice which will come hot.
I'll be back for more ahipokin'!
