“The food was very fresh especially the salmon. The different sauces made the poke very tasty, and overall the staff was very warm and friendly. I definitely recommend this place. 12/10 😁”
— Samantha Etchie“My brother really likes this place, spicy tuna cucumber salad rice with lava sauce amazing. I had a lot of these ingredients at the bottom of my bowl 🥣”
— Brandon R“Cozy poke shop with delicious flavors! Menu is easy, typical build your own poke bowl. Regular with 3 proteins and large with 5 proteins. Had the salmon (x2), spicy tuna, and eel (x2), with a mix of aloha and spicy mayo. One of the best tasting poke I’ve had in San Diego so far! A neat part of the restaurant is they have chess boards, cards, and Jenga laying around, so you can play while eating! No complaints here and highly recommend you check it out.”
— Arthur M“Loved the crab and all its deliciousness! Once you try one you're going to crave more. My husband had the salmon and loved it! I'm not into raw seafood, so crab was great. Husband wishes we lived closer. ☺ Dennis the owner is AWESOME making great flavor creations!!”
