Typical Poké bowl place. They mix the sauces in with the veggies and meat which I thought was weird. Then add toppings. I will say I went in a Monday and the fish was extremely fresh! I like that. The food was great, mixed to perfection and the topping choices were more plentiful than I've ever had before. Really nice work sorry I didn't take a picture of it read more

I think this poke was a solid 7/10. I loved the portion size for the base and toppings. Especially appreciated that the avocado wasn't extra. I do wish the portion sizes for the protein were a little bigger. Overall the fish tasted fresh but I should've added more sauce bc something was lacking flavor in my bowl. Crab ragoons were a 9/10 and added a great crunch element to the meal. Staff were nice and the service was quick. read more

OMG ! I just went in and ordered a bowl to go and it was AMAZING! I already can't wait to go back. The service was really good as well. I was greeted as soon as I walked in! The staff member who helped me was very friendly She offered me a taste of a couple of sauces before putting them on my bowl and she kept a smile on her face. I feel like my food was made with LOVE and that means a lot ! Thank YOU! read more

Decided to give this spot nearby a shot and was thoroughly satisfied! Would definitely recommend. I got a poke bowl with 2 scoops salmon, 1 scoop tuna, masago, pineapple, mango, pickled daikon, seaweed salad, purple onions, green onions, crab salad, corn, carrots, avocado, cucumber, fried wonton chips, seaweed, furikake, ginger chips, tempura, house ginger sauce, hawa classic sauce, unagi sauce - I tried the cream sesame and ponzu sauce pm the side and they were all good! They mix your bowl for you and then add your toppings, which I wasn't expecting but that was a nice touch so that everything was covered in sauce and not dry. (Not pictured) Also ordered the mango green tea with strawberry and mango popping bubbles and lychee jelly read more

The restaurant was very clean and the ingredients were so fresh. The man that helped us make our poke bowls was happy to serve us, and seemed really sweet! I didn't know what sauce to get for my bowl, and asked him for a recommendation. I got teriyaki and it turned out to be so yummy!

Great vegan options! I've had the Skinny Girl bowl which includes tofu. My only complaint is that the tofu is served raw so it's a bit off putting in texture. It still absorbs flavor from whatever sauce you choose so it's not a deal breaker for me. I ordered take out and had my coworker get it for us and they were very quick and packaged our food nicely read more

This poke place is a decent option in a shopping center filled with many other asian businesses. They weren't here when I lived on West Rd previously, but thankfully the intersection has developed and there are more dining options now. They offer salads, bowls and burritos for poke entrees. They also offer Hawaiian bbq bowls. Since their name has poke in it, I stuck to the poke. I ordered a large bowl. I was a little bit disappointed in the raw fish selection. They basically have tuna and salmon. No exotic fish, or scallops. Their diced veggies are sometimes diced a little too large, like the cucumber on my recent visit. The good part is they have several sauces to choose from. They toss your poke with the sauce half way through the ordering line, then will place the last remaining toppings on your creation. Prices are about average for a bowl or burrito. Flavor was definitely there in the sauces I chose, Sriracha mayo and Hawa house special sauce, but I just wish they had more raw fish options like other places in the city. read more

My friends and I got takeout poke here and we all really enjoyed it! Each poke bowl w two protein is $12 after tax- all toppings like avocado are free which is very generous! They had a lot of variety like Ika salad which I haven't seen much (and it was great). Some toppings they were running low on and were very sparing in their serving (like masago). All the food seemed very fresh though! They interestingly allow you to sample the sauce combinations before you choose what you want. My bowl was overflowing and was a great deal (I was full for the rest of the day). However, I felt like the flavor was a little bland which is why I docked a point. I felt very healthy eating this dish and would order again though! Great neighborhood poke place with very nice staff. read more

Experience was just okay. I came here on a Friday late afternoon and there was not really anyone. Service was extremely slow and I just thought, okay... Maybe she's just taking her time because no one is really waiting after me? All selections and toppings were very fresh and I appreciated the variety. However, as much toppings they offered, it caught me by surprise they didn't offer cream cheese. A little bummed out as I love cream cheese with fresh salmon. I ordered the sushi burrito, and it was made differently than what I am used to. The server takes your order by bowl first (like Chipotle style), toss everything together and placing it on the rice and seaweed wrap. This method is observed to be challenging to fit all the fish mixture in a small surface, as well as wasteful to throw away the falling remains. I witness her throwing away quite a bit. Other poke shops I've seen creates your burrito with the wrap to help fit everything nicely, eliminating the need to waste food. The trick is to gauge your scoop... Sure you might think you're getting a bang for your buck, but not when they are tossing all of the falling mixture away. Moving forward, when I asked for my sauces to be on the side, she could have at least filled the sauce cup up to half way. It was a large burrito. I'll probably give this place another shot and crossing my fingers for a better wait time. Probably opt for a bowl next time. read more

My spicy salmon and shrimp tempura pokerito creation was a success with the perfect amount of spices.

This new Poke restaurant opened about a month ago and now gives Jersey Village area residents the opportunity to eat freshly made Poke without having too travel far. I have dined twice now and can say it's very good. Located in the large strip center across West Road from Kroger parking is plentiful in the lot shared by several other businesses next door. It is a counter service restaurant with seating inside for about 30 people. They offer custom made bowls along with a list of house favorites. Both times, I ordered the same thing because it was so good. I went with the Hawa Classic Tuna bowl for $11.95. The staff were very friendly and eager to help with the selections and explanations if needed. All of the ingredients in my meals were fresh and tasty and the serving line was very clean too. They offer both bottled and fountain drinks along with tea. My meal was large in size, filling and delicious. I will frequent this business. read more

I had been wanting to try this poke spot for a while since during COVID my go to spot was closed down. Unfortunately it was not the best experience. On the first attempt to eat here, they had their online ordering service turned on even though it was closed. When we showed up to pick up the order per the prescribed time, the lights were off and it was clear the place was closed. On the second try, we got our food successfully. Not sure what it was but 5e poke burrito had some type of odd taste like a dish cleaner of sorts and the poke bowl wasn't much better. The fish was warm and didn't taste very fresh. I wouldn't recommend... if you are looking for poke you are better off taking a drive into the galleria area. read more

This location has a nice poke options a decent bang for buck. I think when I do the make it yourself it's probably about a $15 poke bowl. Oh that's what you expect when you do three proteins. It's not a location for dining really as it's pretty narrow, but it's a great place to be able to grab in and go the sauces.

First time here and I came in around 1245 on a Monday to order To-Go. For some reason there was no one here! Do not sleep on this place if you're in the area; the vibe and food are so good. Never having been here I wasn't quite sure what to choose. I'm one of those easily overwhelmed when such delicious options are arranged before me, so I asked the person behind the counter to make me what they would eat and WOW! They have great taste! They first made sure I had no allergies and would be okay with the raw fish (they offer an option to cook the fish if you prefer that, how accommodating!) Then they worked their magic to put together a dish that was light yet hearty, flavorful and dynamic, and oh so fresh! While it was about $20 (before tip) for the poke bowl and crab Rangoons, its enough to have a few meals off of and more than enough to share! With all the fast food options around, you might miss this hidden gem, but now you know... so go! read more

Everything we had was flavorful, delicious, and all the meat was moist! I can't wait to come back and I'm sad it took me so long to find this place! Highly recommend!! Service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant felt very clean, spacious, and modern with a lot of natural light. They brought our food out to our table and gave us napkins and utensils, so we didn't have to get up and get them ourselves. Absolutely a great dining experience! The portions are also big! My bf and I each got a Hawaiian Favorite combo and couldn't finish them. The entrees are easily two servings for me, so it's a great value! The containers the food comes in are microwavable too, so extra bonus points for easy reheating! If you do manage to finish an entree in one sitting though, you will be stuffed! It wasn't mentioned on the menu, but there's steamed/sautéed cabbage under the meat. It looked a little deceiving because I thought it was just a huge pile of meat, only to find cabbage under. Thankfully, I love cabbage and appreciated that there were veggies to balance the heaviness of all the meat. That being said, there was still a lot of meat, just not as much as it looked like at first. They also give you little containers of sauce depending on which entree you get, which really enhanced the meal. If you get bbq beef or chicken, you get a delicious, sweet, Hawaiian bbq sauce. If you get the chicken katsu, you get a sauce that resembles sweet and sour. If you get a combo that has both bbq meat and chicken katsu, you get both sauces. I poured the sauce over the rice to season the plain white rice, then poured the rest on the meat even though it didn't really need it. BBQ CHICKEN: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in small to large chunks. BBQ BEEF: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in thin slices. CHICKEN KATSU: Moist! Fresh, crunchy breading! Tastes better with the sweet and sour-like sauce provided than on its own. KALBI SHORT RIBS: Delicious! Moist! Has fatty bits, unlike the bbq beef, which I really liked! Very similar, if not the same, flavor as the bbq beef. MACARONI SALAD: Delicious and flavorful! Tastes just like potato salad.

From the moment I walked in, the girl at the front did not seem friendly or welcoming. I honestly felt uncomfortable even asking for condiments because of the attitude, but I finally did and she still seemed irritated while helping me. The disappointing part is the food itself was actually really good. The spam musubi rolls were a hit with both me and the kids, and the Kalua pork was flavorful and delicious. I hate leaving reviews like this because I know everyone has bad days, but customer service really makes a difference for me. Sadly, I probably won't return based on that experience alone.

We had been looking for a Hawaiian bbq place like Cali and we found that Houston had an L&L so YES YES had to go try it out here in Houston!!! I ordered the katsu plate and the bbq ribs plate and ofcourse had to try the musubi chicken!! The katsu chicken is super crispy and the crunch was really good, dip it in the volcano sauce which I mixed with the sweet sauce..forgot the name lol I also ordered passion fruit drink! They were ok, I would love to see chunks of fruit!! Would be amazing The sauces are always great! And one new one we saw and enjoy a lot!! Was the VOLCANO spicy super spicy sauce but loved it, mix it with other sweet sauces and you got a tasty tangy sauce Ambiance is chill, would love to have some background music!!! That would be great!!

They also have delicious and I mean delicious soft serve pineapple ice cream. Has such a delicious pineapple flavor and melts right in your mouth. They even have cheese classes.

My BMP calamansi margarita was distinct in its tanginess. Tried the veggie lumpias and brussel sprouts. The lumpias had tangy dipping sauce that might have been dominated by calamansi. More tang than savory. The brussel sprouts were standard but had a good portion. I tried to detect whether they used fish sauce but I couldn't tell. Ordered the daing na bangus (milkfish) as my entree. They gave me the whole fish and it threw me off that it was mostly deboned since I kept looking for the bones with my tongue and teeth. Fish was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce was more savory than what came with the lumpias. The garlic rice that came with the dish was smoky from that wok hay. Probably could have used a little more soy sauce for flavouring. My favourite dish was the turon dessert (fried bananas) along with the ube ice cream. The coconut sauce they used seemed more like caramel. I haven't eaten much Filipino food so I wasn't sure how authentic the dishes were. I was expecting a little more intensity in the flavours, and I don't know if it was toned down for their customers. There were around ten customers that night. The inside was beautiful and they have a two level patio that is perfect for nights like these. The service was very nice and the kitchen was faster than I expected.

I'm a Tiki Geek so any chance I have to hit a new (for me) tiki bar and down a delicious tropical cocktail, I jump on it. The bar is located in a very unassuming location within a tiny little strip of businesses in the suburbs of northern Houston. Signage outside isn't obvious but once you step inside, you're transported to a little slice of paradise. Service was fantastic...the bartender (Jonathan) was very helpful guiding me towards what to try and gave me some Lei Low swag, too. The fellow seated at the bar next to me turned out to be the owner, Russell Thoede, who was very nice and we engaged in a nice chat about California tiki bars many of which he has visited. The drinks I had were fantastic; Donn's Original Zombie ($18) and Ground Control ($17) and stack right up there with the best we have here in California. Love the different tiki mugs for the different drinks. Thank you, Russell and Jonathan, for such a great experience! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I can tell that the owners are putting a lot of attention and care in their establishment. The menu is creative and covers more than just matcha and coffee - it goes into baked goods and even a rice plate meal. The restrooms are very clean and well managed. The staff looks like a determined team aimed to succeed. Well done! If I had to be picky, minor improvements can be for the tables to be periodically wiped down and cleaned. There were a few wet spots and a finished tray of food, but perhaps the staff was just a bit busy at that point. Overall, doesn't stop me from wiping my own table before sitting and enjoying my drink with the wifey!

But this was the perfect storm, where we were on the way home, and I needed to pick up dinner for later. My visit to 7Friday was finally gonna happen! I couldn't decide what to order because I wanted one of everything, so I just went with the two most popular items on the website: the salmon lover combo and the crunch combo. If you ever buy sushi from HEB, you know that it's usually pretty hardened by the time you eat it. This is a completely different experience. It tastes like it was made 5 minutes ago. Super fresh, like you're at a nice sushi spot. If we lived nearby, we would absolutely be hitting this up on a regular basis. The crazy high rating is well-deserved!

You can place your order online and pickup or come in and grab from their counters and shelves. There are counters at the front if you want to enjoy your meal on the spot. Otherwise, grab trays of goodies to take home and enjoy. They even have a drive through! Ask the staff and they can help you pick out some favorites. My recent trip was for the "I Dream of Nigiri" party tray to enjoy at a post holiday celebration. There was a total of 6 party trays and this one was the first to get devoured. I love the assortment of nigiri styles presented. The fish and ingredients were very fresh and definitely worth the one hour drive from the medical center. The joy on my friend's faces while eating confirmed for me that this was the right place to go. I always try to stop by when I'm in the area. Grab some of the bao or the masubi, or just a roll to try. You'll feel like it's worth your money!
