Great fresh poke bowl! Friendly staff. Not fancy but good quality. Loved it

Their lunch platter is very filling. I got the kalua pork which is so flavorful and comes with rice as well as two other sides, which I chose the furikake mac salad and the lomi tomatoes and onions. I also got their abunai hand roll which is a fairly decent snack size as well. Lots of seating inside and some outside as well.

Overpriced. Here’s the lobster roll that fell apart revealing 4 pieces of lobster for their $8 “special” lobster roll. I was told the Abunai bowl was “modern”, but was similarly disappointed with the amount of fish and overall taste. I’m all for improving a dish but a regular poke bowl is 10x better than this modern version. Avoid.

I should have done my research before coming here. Poke is raw seafood. I ordered the shrimp roll and didn't realize it was raw shrimp. I try to avoid raw seafood because I don't want to get food poisoning, but also because raw seafood doesn't taste nearly as good as cooked seafood. I understand poke is a Hawaiian delicacy, but it's not my cup of tea. However, if you love poke, you will probably like this restaurant.

Way over priced for poke. They charge per scoop of protein and portions are small for the price. Don't have a good variety of additions like Mango, pineapple or garlic crisps like a lot of other more affordable poke spots have.

We had some spam musubi and the pork lunch special. Both were very good. I'm not a fan of furikake but it's not overpowering in these and blended well with the other flavors. The spam katsu musubi was my favorite.

Decided to try a new place near work- Got a spicy tuna hand roll- so fresh and delicious, and spam katsu musubi- amazing! Will definitely go back

Affordable lunch daily lunch special & food is always fresh!! Staff is always pleasant and friendly. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu ?

Got the abunai spam musubi lunch plate. The spam musubi was good…but too much rice. The Mac salad portion was small and the cucumber salad was too acidic. Try it if u miss spam musubi.

This is a solid place. Worth a try. I had the spam musubi plate sides (mac salad and cucumber salad). Seating is limited.
