We went on a Monday afternoon and there was a couple of people in front of us and a small line forming behind us. The employee that helped us was friendly, patient and helped us sample many different pokes, answered our questions and made helpful suggestions. I got the shoyu and Korean poke, and my friend got the Korean Marlin. Decent portions and you know it's fresh. Great place for poke bowls.

I was happy to get to try a couple of samples from some of the vendors and some educated me on a lot of different things that I didn't know about the island. There are multiple species that you don't ever see outside of Hawaii or often at least. Was happy to know that I'll never see an avocado of this size in Alaska, but it still made me sad because it did taste delicious.

The van parked too…read moreclose to my very new car and I told the man I was going to move my car to give him more room. I tried to move in the stall in front, but their big truck driver who had just pulled onto the road motioned for me to move, though I gave him the motion that he didn't have to stop for me and to go ahead and go. He was aggressive and insistent that I move. So, I did, though I did not want to. He pulled into the still I was in and took up at least 5 other stall where he parked.. The worst part was when they got out, they started laughing and making jokes about how they made me move. It continued and I approached them to explain what I was trying to do, but they ignored me and continued to laugh at me and make jokes about me. I am 70 and consider this elder abuse. It has put a very sour taste in my mouth about Suisan company. Don't they train them in customer service and that it is a small community- you don't do these things to people, especially elders. They came across as thugs and bullies. .

We appreciated the air-conditioning and interesting variety of merchandise. I just didn't want to buy anything and have to carry it home because I only had a carry-on bag. Even though they have their own parking lot, we walked over from the Farmer's Market, where we had parked on the street for free.

In fact I remember when fishcake in Hawaii was made from local fish including shark (good thing that is pau). Amano is without a doubt the best out there. You can taste the Gobo, you know the vegetables are present. In the plain fishcake, Amano has just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite is Gobo Maki or Gobo Tempura which is good cut in long strips for ramen or saimin, but Char Sui Tempura is good and must be popular because Walmart sells out as soon as it comes.
