I really do enjoy the food at this place, and we used to come here about once per week. However they recently raised the price for a regular poke bowl from about $11 to $16- I know that inflation is extreme this year, but it's not 50%. It really bumped this place from a casual/lunch/weekday spot to a rare visit spot for us
Good poke place in East Liberty with lots of topping choices. Personally, I order sauce in the side so i can control how much is added, just fyi.
Great customer service & price for what you get. Huge portions. Everything was very fresh and the bowls are made in front of you. I got the poke bowl and it was delicious.
The Tuna and salmon are very fresh!!I was a sushi chef when I lived in japan and I do Pay lots of attention to the freshness of fish, and this place is very FRESH!!!!!!!!AAA+++
My hubby and I went here for lunch. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because, the indoor venue is small so it's best if you're going alone or as a couple. There are no tables that would comfortably seat 3 or more. Also, there were no options for cooked meat/fish in your poke if you wanted that. I love sushi so I was all about it, but my husband isn't a sushi person so he would have appreciated the option to cook the salmon or have grilled spam or something like that.
I love this place for a quick healthy lunch. I work from home a lot and live across the street so it’s a go-to. I have never received bad service. (People need to be more patient with people working in the food industry - it’s not an easy job - but I digress). My only complaint is that sometimes the fish is inconsistent. Most of the time it is fresh and really delicious, but every once in awhile it’s less fresh and I’ve had to throw a bowl out before because the fish tasted too weird.
Just went here and was excited to try it since we love this style of food. 2 people at a table only and two employees chatting to each other in the kitchen. Neither employee gave us any attention at all Too bad , I bet the food is great. Sure hope the food is better then the service Can’t blame this one on being short staffed, just lack of good employees
Last poke joint in the city worth going to. Atarashi went straight down hill. Kahuna is never bad. Look through the bad reviews. They're all about flies and gnats outside of a place that serves a ton of fish lol. Best poke in the city, and it's not even close
I wish I could give this place 5 stars ?. The concept is amazing and the branding/aesthetic is super cute, but the customer service is really questionable. On my first visit, the staff working made us feel like we were such a bother and they were slamming containers around while making our bowls. The quality of the bowl was amazing, though, and I thought the people working were maybe just having a bad day, short staffed, etc...I went back with hope of having a much better experience and it was even worse. The customer service was not any better and this time the quality of the food was not great. When I got home there were gnats coming out of the bag and they are now flying around my dining room. After looking into this further, I see that the last few reviews mention gnats, too...I'm definitely disappointed because I love the concept and would definitely go here regularly if the experience was better!
There is no management here, so if your order is messed up, too bad. Leave a message, don’t get a call back. Leave a tip, slap in the face. Confusing experience.
