  • A friend had warned us this place was not great. We should have listened. But, like many a drunken sorority girl who downed just 1 more Jello shot, we are definitely regretting our choices the next day..... My husband has been on a poke bowl kick, after several business trips in the Bay area where, apparently, good poke bowls are as easy to come by as a Dunkin' Donut in Boston. So, I Googled poke bowls in Avondale, as I recalled hearing a poke bowl restaurant was slated to open in the new power center along McDowell and 103rd Ave. Sadly, that place is not open yet, but my search revealed Tokyo Joe's offers poke bowls, so off we went. He placed our order to go, a poke bowl for him and the chicken satay and potstickers appetizers for me. While I understand that the quality of the food may have been hampered by the 15-minute drive home, I think it would have been only marginally better had we consumed it on sight, fresh out of the microwave. The best thing I can say is the peanut dipping sauce was nicely spicy and had a good peanut flavor. Sadly, the texture of the chicken made it clear the meat had been pulled from the giant vat of industrial grade pressed chicken parts, fresh out of the freezer. I have seriously had better hospital food! The potstickers were pressed together and flattened, resembling some sort of potsticker pancake. The wrappers were doughy and spongy, no crispy carmelization from a good pan saute. I'm not even sure what the filling was, I got no identifiable taste of anything. There were 5 in the order, but I'm not sure where one ended and the next began, as they were all a giant mass. Also, the dipping sauce was very weird, off balance and with a strong vinegar flavor. I would have rather gone to the Costco across the street and bought a bag of potstickers and cooked them at home myself. Finally, on to my husband's poke bowl. He complained that it was completely flat and flavorless. I tasted a chunk of the salmon and had to agree. The experience left both of us queasy and regretful, our wallets $20 lighter to boot. Might better have joined the sorority girl with one more Jello shot.
