Another Poke spot? Before coming to H2O I thought I already had my favorite poke spot, but the simple customizable options of H2O makes new spots worth trying.
My stomach was telling me to go with the Poke Bowl ($10), instead of the Sushi Burrito ($8.50). When ordering the bowl, the friendly staff standing opposite of the counter puts it together. Through the glass you see the all the ingredients laid out and it starts with:
- Base: Salad, Green Tea rice, Sushi rice
- Protien (choose three): tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, shrimp, albacore, scallop, or octopus
- Flavor: H2O Sauce, Yuzu, Sriracha Aoili
- and a bunch of Fruits/Veggies/Toppings, I went with Mandarin Oranges, Cucumber, Corn, Masago, & Seaweed Salad.
Even though I chose a salad base, it still filled me up - the whole thing was generously proportioned, imo. My only concern is that the seafood is out in the prep area and I don't know if it's refrigerated or replaced regularly. Doesn't fish spoil sooner if not at the proper temperature? I'm not too worried because I ate it last night and I'm still feeling great about it. *thumbs up*
Great portions, flavorful sauce, and the ordering process make H2O a great stop for a quick meal. Next time, I'd like to try out their sushi burritos.
