Was up in the area, and decided to try, we are avid sushi and seafood lovers, but never have had a poke bowl before. The only bad thing I can say about this place is it is to far away, and wish they were closer to Arnold area so we could go more often. I Got the #7. The wasabi one, and absolutely loved it, and everything tasted refreshing.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I first visited during their soft opening and didn't make it back for over 6 months. In that time, little had changed...except the sweet potato fries. I was concerned that made from scratch might not survive commercialization and scale and (unfortunately) I was right. It would be great if the soft opening version could make a comeback but I suspect that's doubtful given how busy they were on a couple of recent visits. Solid poke place! Some have made negative comments about portion size. I understand the owner's counterpoint about the quality of ingredients. Can't we all just get along? Everything is very fresh and flavorful. That's not just a plus but a requirement when raw proteins are involved. No concerns about their quality or sanitation. That said, it would be nice to see portions of the various ingredients increase a little even if the amount of fish remains the same.

We've been to several Pokémon places but this is not our favorite. Great selection and the staff was amazing. I'm selective about v sauces but these guys have a large selection of optional blends that really made the lunch I had fantastic. I highly recommend the spicy garlic soy sauce on the Fury Shrimp. Just the right amount of heat with lots of flavor. Seating is limited inside but there is some outside seating when the weather is good. Highly recommend!!!
