This little “design your own sushi/poke bowl” place was outstanding! Lots of fillings/toppings to choose from. You can do brown or white rice, lettuce, 1/2 and 1/2, chips, and possibly something else I can’t remember because I was drooling at the menu. Don’t overlook the eel sauce, it’s one of the best ones I’ve had!

If a Poki bowl sounds good to you, then this IS this place. The fish quality is superb - it melts like butter in your mouth. They mix the sauce on the proteins before putting them in the bowl like it should be done everywhere. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our decision to give them a try!

This was my first experience having a poke bowl and I was shocked at how good it was! The quality of the fish was really good and they are taking pretty good safety precautions right now which is appreciated. Everything was organized and clean, food quality was superb. My new fav spot when I’m in the city!
