Poke Hale is soooo delicious! Hubs and I were craving sushi, but it's pretty pricey these days and…read morewe've had some "off" meals at our usual places we decided to have poke instead. Poke Hale was our favorite and yet somewhere along the way it fell off our radar as places to eat. Well, we are back!!! Our order can be easily made online. Hubs and I go with the Build-your-own Bowl. A regular bowl allows 2 proteins and a large bowl allows 3 proteins. We can have a reasonable amount of adds in and toppings. We started with appetizers of edamame, shrimp tempura, and Crab Rangoon. All were really good, there was a good amount of edamame for the order. Everything was fresh and hot! The portions of the poke bowls were generous and filling. The Hale Ginger dressing was SO DELICIOUS!!! Service was friendly and quick. We placed our order online and picked up. The woman at the counter was appreciative of our order, doubled checked to make sure we weren't missing anything, and thanked us for choosing their business. She was so nice! The inside and outside were clean and comfortable. There are tables for dine in. Plenty of space for people to stand without bumping into each other while waiting to order or waiting for our order. We will certainly be back! Not only is this such a well priced meal, it was absolutely delicious! *No pics - I forgot as I was really hungry and it was all really good!

We gave Poke Brothers another try. I had given them three stars last time, and agree with my…read moreearlier rating. The food is generally good. Again, you order at the counter and, unless you select one of their menu items, you can build your bowl the way you want. I don't recall the name of the menu item I ordered but it had shrimp, tuna, and salmon in it along with rice and vegetables. I was with my mother again, and she got the vegetarian bowl. There is another Poke place I go to, also on Dundee Road, I find more to my liking. While Poke Brothers isn't bad, it's just bland. The server is quiet and doesn't really interact with you much. I suspect some patrons prefer it that way, but I like a lively server. Overall, Poke Brothers is good. It's the only Poke restaurant I know of within several miles of their location. So, if it's convenient, I would recommend you give it a try.

I recently found Blowfish on Yelp and had a chance to visit with my husband on a Saturday.  It has…read morealready grown from a hidden gem into a popular spot.  We made a 7:00 pm reservation and arrived on time.  The friendly hostess let us pick a table of our preference.  We settled into a spacious booth by a large window overlooking the front patio. Within minutes, the restaurant was completely packed, both indoors and outdoors.  There were guests waiting to be seated throughout the evening. If you visit on a busy night like this one, be prepared to allow longer time for the food to come to the table. I could see that some of the dishes were ready on the kitchen counter waiting to be delivered to the tables, but they seemed to be a bit short-handed, especially for the tables in the patio. Our server took our order at 7:10 pm, and it took 24 minutes for our food to come out at 7:36 pm. It was fine as we were not in a hurry. The décor of Blowfish is modern and comfortable.  Our server, Bu, was friendly, cheerful, efficient, and professional.  Both my husband and I ordered a Hot Green Tea ($2 x 2).  I ordered a Sakura Roll ($17), with crab mix, jalapeño, avocado, seared white tuna, white truffle oil, wasabi mayo, sweet soy sauce, and scallions.  It was beautifully presented and packed with flavors.  There were 9 pieces and I shared 1 with my husband who also liked it.  I ate some of the pieces whole and dissembled some of them, each of the ingredients was fresh and tasty, together they created complex flavors that didn't need any other sauces or wasabi.  It's a great choice that I'd happily order it again. My husband had a Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen ($18), with silky tonkotsu broth, pork chashu, kikurage, nitamago, scallions, corn, spinach, roasted seaweed, sesame, and black garlic oil.  The bowl of ramen looked attractive.  I asked him how it tasted; he said that it was one of the best bowls of ramen he's ever had!  Wow! That's high praise coming from him, I don't think I've ever heard him saying that before!  He said that there's a nice kick even though it was not noted on the menu.  I am intrigued and will definitely try it in our future visits. He also ordered 2 pieces of sashimi -- Hamachi/yellowtail ($8).  There seemed to be a misunderstanding, and two orders of sashimi were entered instead of one.  Since the sashimi portions were fairly small, he didn't bring it up to the server, he just happily ate them and paid the bill for 2 orders ($8 x 2).  The sashimi was fresh. We also ordered a Dragon Roll ($16) to go, that had shrimp tempura, BBQ eel, avocado, and cucumber.  It was also very good. Overall, we were delighted to discover Blowfish. Between the welcoming service, fresh, flavorful food, and comfortable atmosphere, it was an excellent dining experience. We'll definitely be back.

Our first time here. We chose to come because of the mostly positive reviews, and I would agree…read morewith much of what I've read. Quick to be seated, clean environment, friendly staff. The wait staff gave us time to just browse the menu without coming to us too quickly which really appreciated. We ordered the following: 1. Miso soup (I gave 4.5 stars) I really enjoyed it for the flavor. 2. Cucumber salad (4 stars) they give a large portion, marinated and thinly sliced cucumber with a sesame sprinkle on top. My partner said it would be a 5 if it was marinated for less time because it seemed a little floppy. Either too thinly sliced or marinated too long. He was looking for a crunch. 3. Tuna lobster sushi roll. (4 stars) I didn't expect it to be ground tuna on top, I was envisioning just a mix of lobster and tuna, this was pretty ground and then spicy as well. It was still good, I didn't expect the spice I guess because it was in the mayo? The wait staff explained it. I do think the menu should reflect spicy dishes with some sort of symbol to help. Fresh ingredients though. I'll definitely finish this. 4. Sunrise salmon poke bowl. (4 stars) my partner wanted to rate this 4.5 but a pretty significant fish bone went into his mouth and poked him. Otherwise, flavor was good, fresh fish, he loves the colors and said it's "beautiful." 5. Gyoza. (3 stars) This was kind of soggy or mid. The outside was flavorful, the beef inside was bland. Thanks for having us!

We've dined at La Casa de Isaac &…read moreMoishe before but not this location, which is part deli and part restaurant, and so seeing people dining at the outdoor tables drew us in. The restaurant was understaffed today, so getting menus or complimentary chips and salsa (tasty) took extra long. I ordered a Jamaica drink and flautas (2 duck and 2 chicken) and my friend ordered a taco salad. There were quite a lot of people who stopped in (as I said, many places were closed) and that added to our wait. My flautas came out covered with beans, lettuce and tomato and garnished with cheese and avocado. It was tasty but not what I was expecting. My friends taco salad was fine, although the shell was well done. I felt the food was pricey for what we ordered and it did take a while for them to bring our check and process our card. I saw a man sitting at a table alone and he still hadn't been acknowledged after 20 minutes. Our server was friendly and apologized for the wait but I could see several patrons getting visibly upset. With a Yelp check in you can receive guacamole but as we had already ordered, I saved it for next time.

Went for the AYCE Lunch- a different menu than dinner Buffet…read more Overall was a unique and spectacular experience to me. The sushii rolls and sushi were all made to order. Plate presentation was very exciting to see and served with exquisite decorations that lit up the plate. A truly inviting place that makes you wanting more. The A.Y.C.E. (All you can eat) options are the best deals to try everything and anything on the Menus. Will come back for the dinner menu soon. Servers were very attentive and water glass was always filled.

Servers were friendly, but there were some hiccups: we weren't provided with drink menus, we had to…read moreask for our miso soup multiple times, and wasabi and ginger weren't automatically provided- we had to ask. The food is beautifully presented. It's nice that the AYCE option comes with sashimi - though the slices of fish were a little slimmer or smaller than typical. On a Sunday evening at regular dinner hours (7 pm) they were "out" of kanpachi and the Sea Breeze roll that I wanted to try. There's a wide variety of specialty maki. Quite a few came with cheddar cheese which seems weird (and we did not try). All AYCE portions are about half the size of portions at other AYCE restaurants - not a problem because you can simply order more if you like, and this allows you to try a greater variety of items (appetizers, ramen, etc). But oddly the seaweed salad was 3x the typical size! And the smaller portions arrive on gigantic plates that make squeezing all the food onto the table difficult. The logistics of AYCE ordering need refinement - you have to order with your server (who inputs items into a tablet) rather than having a tablet or even a paper ordering sheet at each table. So we had to hang onto gigantic menus throughout our meal (to reference for future rounds of ordering). The decor is modern, though the view of the sushi bar area is cluttered (with boxes, and all sorts of stuff) and the big screens above the bar were showing some political news (not exactly what I'd like to relax to.over dinner).
