    Nuc Mam and Honey Wasabi with Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Salad
    Emily T.

    A pretty solid poke spot! I got their nuc mam and honey wasabi sauce with tuna. I liked their honey wasabi sauce but I felt like it didn't have that true wasabi kick to it. I did like the flavor profile of it though! The nuc nam sauce was a bit more plain and I felt like they needed to add more sauce. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I would go back to try their other sauces! It's a ghost kitchen type situation so you have to order online. The wait time is kind of weird. It estimated 15 minutes for pick up and I got a text that my food was ready but I ended up having to wait an additional 20 minutes which is kinda lame. Parking is a bit challenging but theres residential streets nearby.

    This place was really hard to find. I thought it was a restaurant but it's really just a place where you pick up multiple orders like for Doordash. there should be clearer signs that lists where the restaurant is. The food itself was okay too. The tuna and salmon definitely needs more sauce. I got the soy sauce and nuoc mam flavors and felt like i needed more. The rice was the perfect texture though. I wish the portions for the seaweed salad and crab salad were bigger because those were both amazing! overall, i would try other places before trying this one.

    Nuc Poke or NUKE POKE?? THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB. Was near LA area and this place was perfect for delivery. Very convenient and the packaging was great. Came in a bag with both chopsticks and forks and napkins. I heard the chef is an ex-Tao restaurant chef who decided to do a modern elevated twist on poke mixing Hawaiian and Vietnamese flavors. The fish is super high quality and fresh. It is also mixed with the sauce and marinated to order! No more gummy rubbery poke. Super tender, solid, fresh fish texture with the crunch of peanuts crests a great contrast in textures. I tried the volcano sauce which was garlicky, a bit spicy and really flavorful. Paired with the Furikaka rice was an awesome combo. I also tried the honey wasabi salmon. Sweet, spicy, fragrant, and creamy. This creamy texture and crunchy peanuts made for a great mouth sensation haha. The wasabi honey was a really good pairing as well. The dish plating was also great. Super fancy and pretty. My eyes were definitely fed before my belly haha got me salivating. It is a ghost kitchen for now but I heard the chef is looking to expand to a brick and mortar! Can't wait!! Y'all gotta try this bomb poke. I will definitely order again.

    One of the best poke spots in Los Angeles by a mile, and it tasted like I was back in Oahu. Food (5/5): I ordered a large bowl: Salmon with Lava Sauce, Tuna with Shoyu Sauce, Imitation Crab Salad, and Sunomono Salad. Both fish were very fresh. The imitation crab salad was one of the best surprises. Usually most poke places have that scoop of imitation crab like a ball of ice cream, but this one hit different with the masago on top. Service (1/5): This is a ghost kitchen. While I don't mind ordering on a tablet at all, this tablet in particular was slow. You can also only add tips in increments of 15%, 18%, and 20% without an option for a custom tip. Also, enter on the parking lot side, because if you order from the street side, you will need to pick it up from the parking lot side anyways. There aren't any clear directions indicating this Ambiance (1/5): Doesn't really matter since it's a ghost kitchen. The food itself makes up for the logistically comical ordering system. Would definitely pick-up poke from here again.

    Great price to food quality to volume ratio! This is my go-to poke spot in Los Angeles

    This place is soooooo good I ordered from here twice in 3 days LOL. I love that you can add nuoc mam as a sauce, and it tastes reaaaally good with tuna. I also got wasabi honey salmon, seaweed salad, crab salad, and I tried the cu cai salad. I like that they add wonton chips too. Definitely my new fav poke place in LA!

    Thought this would be closer to Hawaiian poke where the fish is marinaded in sauces for hours. That could be true but the end result is nowhere close to the same. Was also excited at the prospect that this has Vietnamese influences. I love Viet food. This place tries but execution is poor. Bottom line, fish was not fresh nor at a quality that matches other poke places. The flavors were one dimensional and lacking despite bombastic descriptions on their menu. Crab salad side was the best thing of my meal. Looks great in a photo but possibly the worst poke I've had. Such a let down.

    As a Viet girly, I knew I had to try the nuoc mam sauce with my poke as this was so unique. I loved it! The flavor was amazing and at first I was worried about it tasting too much like fish sauce and not pairing well, but the flavors matched together perfectly. I really liked the onions with it too. I also got the tuna with shoyu sauce and this was yummy as well. The cucumber salad was a perfect side and I especially loved the dressing it came with. I also really liked that it came with wonton chips! Definitely coming back to get the nuoc mam poke and try more things!!

    Ayoooooo!!! Been looking for a place that serves Hawaiian Style Poke that is already marinated. Not the Chipotle style poke that's everywhere. Nuc Poke understood the assignment. For $19.50 you get a 1/2 lb of poke which is a steal! I got Tuna Poke - Shoyu & Salmon Poke - Honey Wasabi with sides Imitation Crab Salad & Seaweed Salad. It comes with Rice & no couple of wonton chips. Only thing is I wish they had a brick and mortar. This is an order and pick up place. If you haven't tried this place you need to go ASAP! Service was quick. Parking lot is is behind the building.

    Best of the west.

    If you're looking for a poke spot that doesn't skimp on quality or quantity, this is it. I picked up a bowl recently and was seriously impressed by how fresh everything tasted.

    Honey Wasabi Salmon, Volcano Tuna, Furikake Rice, crispy chips, seasoned cucumbers, and Seaweed Salad

    I'm usually not a fan of overly-sauced poke, so I was a bit hesitant to try this spot. I decided to give it a try anyway, and I'm quite impressed with how well-balanced all the flavors were. First off, the serving sizes are very generous. I decided to try the Honey Wasabi Salmon and the Volcano Tuna. The salmon was great as the honey provided a slight sweetness to each bite and the wasabi flavor wasn't too overpowering, which I very much enjoyed. The Volcano Tuna was also a great choice, packing a pleasant kick of heat. I also liked the addition of the crispy wonton chips included. They added a much needed crunch that complimented the poke. I would highly recommend ordering an extra side of them. When you combine everything, it creates a perfectly well-balanced meal in both flavor and texture. I highly recommend giving this spot a try, and I know I'll be returning for more.

    Everything tasted so fresh! I loved the bright flavor combos and the crunch textures of the cucumber salad & crispy daikon salad.

    Location: Off the main st, parking could be a bit difficult. Easy to find. Food: Very flavorful, everything tasted amazing. Ambiance: Its a ghost kitchen locker concept so that's little to no human interaction. Overrall: This place is for food delivery or pickup, not dine in. It was a bit difficult for me at first to order but you can order there on a tablet or via ubereats or something. Food was tasty. Willing to order again.

    It's not a restaurant. No sitting. Maybe the food is great but I think I was misled. Drove here and realized that it's uber pickup.

Luckily, while out in LA in close proximity to Chinatown, the husband was reminded of Little Jewel. There was no question where we were headed next. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in and handed some menus. We were told to take our time, which was needed since everything sounded so good and the husband kept changing his mind on what to order. We finally settled on the Spicy Creole Jambalaya, Craw Mac Deluxe and The Crabster. It all came out hot, fresh and so satisfyingly delicious! The spice level was perfect. Portions were generous. We had initially planned on having beignets but did not have any more room -- even the dessert pocket was full! The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have several tables in the main dining area and the bar section. Orders are placed and picked up at the front counter. Everyone is super friendly. Parking can get a tricky in Chinatown. There are several flat rate lots if you're planning on spending some time. Metered parking is best for short term visits if you can find it -- we paid $4.30 for an hour.

The process was definitely different from a regular doctor visit, but honestly, it was a really interesting experience. Since the practitioner doesn't speak English, I translated my symptoms into Chinese using Google Translate and showed him my phone. He checked my tongue and pulse very carefully before writing out a custom herbal tea prescription entirely in Chinese characters. You then take the prescription to the front counter where they prepare the herbs into 5 separate bags. Each bag lasts 2 days, and you boil the herbs for about an hour, strain the tea, and save the rest for the next day. I'm not going to lie -- the tea tastes STRONG. Very earthy, bitter, and honestly like dirt lol. Each boiled tea bag yields 24-32 oz. that needs to be consumed warm, preferably in one sitting after lunch. It was hard to drink, but after finishing my first cycle (10days) I noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms. They explained that most people do 2-3 cycles using the same prescription for full results. I genuinely feel a lot better. I paid $20 for consultation + $85 for the tea. If you use the prescription and 2nd time you only pay for the tea of $85. They take credit cards but there is a $6 transaction fee.
