I can't say I'm a poke expert but this poke experience was pretty amazing! Fair warning though that there is no where to sit and eat inside Poke Express. However, the guy working the counter told us to just walk a couple stores down to 808 Hawaiian (a restaurant) after we bought it and they would have rice (extra charge) and seating. He was actually quite helpful and gave us samples of different poke and told us a half pound is just about enough for 1 person if you're eating with rice.
We ended up trying 4 different types of poke. The first was the fresh salmon with shoyu (aka soy). This has a very sweet flavor and the shoyu sauce is more of a thicker glaze than a regular soy sauce. It tasted very good but I'd recommend getting this with another poke as it could become too sweet eating just this one alone. The second poke was the wasabi tune poke. Very delicious and you can definitely taste the wasabi! My two favorites were the spicy tuna pokes. We actually tried a regular spicy poke and a hotter poke. I enjoyed both equally. The price was roughly $13.95 per lbs for the tuna and salmon pokes.
Tips:
- Go early as they run out of fish throughout the day
- Get at least 2 kinds so you don't get sick of eating just one kind.
- Go to 808 Hawaiian down the street to get rice and seating.
Over all a 5/5 on the poke! Super fresh salmon and tuna! You guys have to try it!
