| - I'm a professional photographer here in Las Vegas and I've done shoots for dozens of restaurants in the valley. One of them was for Soulfish Poke. Normally when I do these shoots I don't have an opportunity to actually try the food I'm shooting because by the time we're done shooting the food, it's not really fresh anymore and with this type of food, fresh is king. But the place looked really nice and the owner and staff were very friendly so I decided to come back one night as a customer. I'm very glad I did.
Now I'm no expert on Poke' bowls, but I have eaten at a few different ones in Vegas and they are really all about the same but Soulfish Poke really goes a step further. Their chefs actually take a LOT of pride in their recipes and each bowl looks like it was carefully prepared, not just slopped together by a bunch of counter monkeys who's last job was working the assembly line at Subway. The staff...all of them, are cheery, explain everything to use Poke newbies, and are a great part of the eating experience. I got the large Budha Bowl, but decided to customize it a bit with some additional veggies and toppings and I thought it was absolutely delicious. Their Sriracha mayo is awsome, and all the ingredients are very fresh. When the whole bowl is assembled, it tastes as good as it looks, which is impressive.
None of their locations are really close to me (I live out in the NW) but I have since eaten there a second time with some friends and everyone loved it as much as I did. Every time I'm near Green Valley or in the SW, I'm going to be sure to stop in for another poke bowl. As far as I'm concerned, these guys are the gold standard in Vegas!
