โ โ โ โ โ The Torched bowl was recommended by quite a few reviews, and I can definitely see why! Very fresh, fast and yummy I was very pleased with my experience today! Can't wait to go back and try some more of the menu. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient, and I was in and out with my order in no time (a bonus when on lunch at work) 10/10 would recommend!

โ โ โ โ โ I can't review this as a dine in experience because it was my boyfriend who was the walk-in client, but I am reviewing based on the quality of the poke bowl itself. He didn't care to finish beyond a quarter of it and I was wondering why as he literally stepped in, sit down and had a few bites. I agree to finish it and give insight of what I thought.
The first indicator was that the rice in the bowl was definitely not fresh. It felt hard as it were to be near day old texture and in clumps. Possible low turnover of ingredients? Second of all, I taste a hint of white pepper which is a red flag for anyone who is very sensitive to heat especially for those who don't ask for spice (doesn't bother me). This can be a plausible deal-breaker.
The rice to added ingredients ratio doesn't seem to be spectacular. Don't get me wrong; the fish is fresh but the portion seems small compared to other joints I had tried in the city or elsewhere. My personal opinion, you're not getting the value you can get in other places. A great perk is that it's literally walking distance from my sweetheart's place so it's there in a pinch. But then again, is it worth it?
I'll let others decide for themselves. In the meantime, I feel this place need to improve on the ? in the bowl. I find low quality of the rice especially when used as a high ratioed main ingredient will lose stars for any food connoisseur. I finished the ? but doesn't sit in the crave factor.

โ โ โ โ โ I used to really not like pokรฉ, and I usually don't care for it, but mannnnn oh man this place is good. House made sauces, fresh ingredient, great portions, they really hook you up. Big space that's cool to hang out in too

โ โ โ โ โ Easily the best poke spot in the city. Fresh and absolutely delicious, generous portions, and more nutritious than most other food options. Also love the option to have your proteins torched - try it! The lounge itself is nice too, spacious and modern . Don't really have anything bad to say. Whenever I'm at any other poke spot for whatever reason, I always find myself wishing I was here instead.

โ โ โ โ โ We went near the end of the day and everything was still fresh and had great flavors. Very friendly staff that were quite helpful recommending some signature bowls. We got the Hey Hot Stuff and The Torched. My partner had one bite and said it was one of the best, if not the best, Poke she has ever had. The portions were generous and we left very satisfied. I will be coming back for more and would recommend this place to anyone in the area.
