| - I've had poke bowls before and I was waiting for this to open since it's close to home. I tried it for the first time today and let's just say it was mediocre. First off they only give you two size options (regular and large) and the regular is too small but the large is too big. The place I usually go to offers small, medium, and large. Second, I paid $11 for a small bowl that was just okay. I got white rice with spicy tuna and Kimchi Shrimp. The spicy tuna has a nice kick but the shrimp didn't taste like much at all. I also added avocado which was $1.50 extra. The crab salad was just that, a salad so it was mixed with stuff and didn't have much flavor. Also, I was the only person in line and I felt so rushed. The employees didn't ask if I had been there before or how much of each I can have. The customer service wasn't very great. I felt like I was being rushed out and I didn't really get to look at all my options. Lastly, the don't mix your sauce with your mix ins, rather just pour it on top.
It wasn't horrible, it was just okay. And if I'm going to be paying a lot for a small portion it better be good.
If you haven't tried Poke Bar in Deer Valley, then you wouldn't understand this review. The food is way fresher there, you actually get pieces of avocado for cheaper ($1.00) rather then a scoop of mushed avocado, they actually have crab meat (not a salad) that is sooo fresh, they separate the cold shrimp from the rice until it's mixed in with your choice of sauces and sides, they're friendlier, and you can choose a size medium and get your monies worth.
