They fry it themselves in the shop! It's such a hole in the wall place! The honey bisuits are also really good! I rated this place 4/5 stars because the chicken was good and the people serving were nice and asked us to spread the news about this place! It could be 5/5 if they had coleslaw to go with the fried chicken (which I found to be on the saltier side)! I also wish that the honey bisuits were bigger because they're soo good and I want more bang for my buck! Lastly, I got the mashed potatoes with gravy. My honest opinion: I would skip this one!

I took my to-go order and got to my home, took a bite and had to post a review. I have never reviewed food ever, like ever. If you are in Ithaca, hungry for food that is obviously made with love, you should check out this feeling I had after a couple bites. This food will forever be in my rotation and will tell everyone I know, it really is that good. Yxis Arepas is by far the best decision I've made on new food in Ithaca in a long while. Check them out, you won't be unhappy that you did!

I don't even want to know what's in the "chicken sausage" because it had the consistency of tuna. I did, however, enjoy the shredded carrot and daikon even if the banh mi was far from authentic or even delicious. My friends also said the food wasn't that great, their rice bowl and curry was fresh but neither of their dishes were memorable.

Post-Hawaii update: I still think Pokelava's poke bowl slaps. The fish isn't quite as fresh as what…read moreyou'll find on the islands (because, well, geography), but it still satisfies the craving. And honestly? I love the toppings. Pokelava leans into the chaotic joy of "build-your-own," and sometimes I want that maximalist experience -- crispy onions, spicy mayo, seaweed salad, and every crunchy thing they'll let me pile on. It's like a flavor party where everyone's invited. But Hawaii poke taught me something: restraint. Simplicity. Respect for the fish. There, the bowls are quieter -- no sauce tsunami, no mountain of mix-ins -- just fresh ahi, a dash of shoyu, maybe a sprinkle of green onion. The kind of bowl that looks you in the eyes and says, "I don't need a crunchy topping to be beautiful." Still, Pokelava isn't trying to be Hawaii. It's playing its own game -- fast, convenient, and comfortingly consistent. After tasting the gold standard, I've come to appreciate Pokelava not for what it lacks, but for what it unapologetically is: a solid, build-your-own poke spot that lets you be a little unhinged with your toppings and still get a good meal out of it. Would I fly across the Pacific for it? No. Will I still walk across the street for it? Absolutely. And if they keep giving me quarters for laundry? Lifelong loyalty, sealed.

Decent, reasonably priced poke spot with lots of topping options. Staff was a little unfriendly and…read moredefinitely was trying to rush although there was no line or crowd or anything which was strange. I got a build your own bowl with zoodles and rice as my base. There are lots of protein options, all cut too small imo, but they were fairly generous with portions. I had the seared tuna and salmon. For mix ins I added cucumber, edamame, mango cabbage, and onion. I liked how they mixed everything together instead of just piling it on top. They also mix in the sauce which is great. I had the sesame ginger. For toppings you can choose three, and I opted for seaweed salad, kani salad, and corn. I also got nori strips and wasabi/ginger. Kani salad wasn't the best but other than that everything was fresh and tasty. Idk if I'd rush back but it was good! I would get it again. Bowl with two proteins was $13.50 before tax.
