Reviews
We tried the spicy salmon, spicy ahi tuna, scallop, the popular “um nachos” (poke served over wonton chips—the main reason we came), butter mochi, and Korean fried chicken. Overall, most of the food was pretty tasty and the pricing felt fair.
However, the scallop was a miss. It had a strong seafood, “sea” taste that didn’t feel fresh and left an uncomfortable aftertaste. Because of that, we ended up throwing it away.
The Korean fried chicken was also disappointing. It came out immediately and wasn’t hot—or even warm—which made it clear it wasn’t freshly cooked.
As for the um nachos, they were good, but not groundbreaking. I’ve had similar poke-and-wonton-chip combinations before, whether in taco form or plated differently. This felt more like a trendy fusion take than something truly new or standout. I wouldn’t say it’s better than other poke places—it just happens to be having a viral moment.
The space itself is very casual. There’s no indoor seating, so everyone eats outside on benches and tables. Parking in the area is tricky, mostly paid street parking unless you find a nearby neighborhood spot. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and service was polite—it was just really slow due to how crowded it was.
Overall, it was fun to try a new place, and the food was solid in parts, but not something I’d wait in a long line for again.
Would’ve gave them a full 5 stars, but when their spicy salmon poke was out, it ended up holding the line for a good 10-15mins to catch up on orders. But then when the spicy salmon poke was ready, there was a whole group of people waiting for it, and it was a whole mess. Some people paid for their bowls already, and then some didn’t. So when they were making everyone bowls, they had no ideas who is who’s bowl; as they are not labeled, and employees started handing out bowls without anyone knowing who’s is who’s. Ended up getting a bowl I didn’t order, and I didn’t realize until I already left. So for future, I’ll reccomend them to label the bowls with their name or something, if they have people waiting for a thing that is out.
But about the food itself, it was really good, the poke tasted very fresh and every side was really good. I was suppose to get a spicy salmon and like ahi tuna or something, but ended up getting like double scoop wasabi spicy salmon or something, with ocean salad and crab and ginger . But ended up because good anyways. The poke is def on the pricier side, it’s was $21 dollars for mine and it wasnt a crazy amount of portion. But the poke did def taste fresher than other poke places.
They operate with poke bowls.
Choose your type, where it’s a single poke, rice, sides. Or a 1 hot and 1 poke item with rice, and sides. Or what I ordered a “poke lovers”. 2 poke, rice, and 2 sides.
I always order the kalbi ahi, more unique combination that i haven’t tried in Hawaii and the kalui nut salmon. Sides are seaweed salad and Mac salad.
Somewhat pricey for $15-20 a bowl but 100% worth it. Whenever we’re in the South Bay this is one of the automatic goto spots for the wife and I. Worth a stop by.
Don’t sleep on the butter mochi! Guava and lilikoi both amazing!
The place can get very crowded and the line can be all the way outside of the store, but it worths the wait and since they don’t have a dining space, it doesn’t take so long.
