    Dat Fire Poke Bowl
    Janelle F.

    Oh my Gosh! How have I never had A Poke Bowl?! Today I had some extra time for lunch out of the office and decided to try somewhere new. I'm so glad I decided to stop here. I talked a bit with the person working and decided on a Dat fire pole bowl. Ahi tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, spicy crab, cucumber, scallions, edamame , chilli flakes, spicy House, jalapeño mix and wasabi. Once I ordered it I was in and out with my food in about five minutes. I love sushi like crazy, but today it was like trying it for the first time. The fish tasted really fresh, it had just the right amount of spiciness, and a ton of flavor. It was so filling. I couldn't even finish it. If you aren't into sushi or poke bowls they have quite a few other restaurants in the same building. Seriously though...you're missing out if you don't at least try this once. You'd be hooked I guarantee it!

    I ordered through Postmates after working a long day and I didn't want to drive anywhere but, wanted something fresh and fast. I was extremely surprised that's exactly what I got from Pok U! After getting my poke bowl of salmon, tuna and other fresh delicacies delivered fresh my curiosity to see where it was made was peaked. When I actually went in it was a little confusing as it's actually three restaurants in one which makes for great convenience but, leaves a little to figure out. I got in line and ordered at the register but, I did see there were kiosks where you can possibly skip the lines. I didn't use them because I wasn't absolutely sure how it worked. Service was still fast during a lunch rush. It's nice to see these types of restaurants sprouting up in what I remember as a kid to be mainly an industrial area of Phoenix.

    Everything about this place is amazing. They have great customer service. The food is always fresh and great. I tried the SO CAL for the very first time. It was amazing!!!! I will always return.

    Ok I tried this place for the first time today after reading some yelp reviews. First I drove up and down the street looking for it...Pok U is not listed on the sign or door. Instead it is inside a place called WTF. Which services cheese stakes etc. only way I found it was sushi was on the windows of what looked to be 2 restaurants. But when you go inside those two restaurants it's actually 1 restaurant. Way too confusing. Next, wait time was great only one person ahead of me. But that's where the good comments end. Because, I ordered a poke bowl with Crab...but it was Krab (imitation) which they put way too much, ahi tuna got 6 small pieces, and shrimp got 5 small shrimp. Also ordered seaweed salad (way too sweet and tasted like sweet vinegar, and also ordered edamame. It wasn't even so-so. And when I got home about 30 minutes later I got sick and lost it all. Would I come here again for sushi? NO. But maybe for a cheesesteak...because a neighboring tables food looked good. I think they have too many things going on and should focus on doing one type of food well instead of having it be so-so.

    I'm an avid poke salad lover. Where this located I was sketchy and since they don't just have poke I should have stopped. But I ordered it because of the toppings. I always ask for dressing on the side, I either didn't get it or it was was on the salad. Not sure if that was it or the lettuce was old. The items they put on the salad was huge. Like I had to cut the veggies to eat. I probably won't eat here again.

    Some girl friends and I went to buck & rider for AZ restaurant week and loved the menu offerings…read more You get so much good food for the price! I started with the voodoo fried rice which was amazing. I also got the filet mignon with broccolini which was so buttery. The steak melted in my mouth. We also got gelato for dessert with a cookie which was the perfect way to end the meal. Our server was very friendly and offered us plenty of time to figure out our orders between us catching up. We never ran out of water and they let us stay for a while after we finished our meal while we talked which was so kind. We sat inside which was nice. I'd never been before so I was surprised how spacious and how much seating this restaurant had. The only parking option outside is valet which made the experience feel even more luxe. This was a great classy girls nice!

    You could sum this review into a few words - MAKE SURE YOU COME DINE HERE!!…read more The food is the star of the show and the service is the encore that is like a ribbon on top! They fly their fish in fresh everyday so if you want great seafood, this is THE PLACE! You can get sushi or steak, or many different varieties of fish. We got: 1. Crunchy Tuna Roll: great starter and tasted amazing 2. Shrimp Scampi Risotto: shrimp was huge and the whole dish was bursting with flavor, will be wishing for more! 3. Soft Crab Sushi Roll: this was good, but was not my fav of the night 4. Banana Crème Pie: Absolutely Delish!!!! 5. Chocolate Cake: my wife got this with the ice cream and she loved it. The place is busy, and we went on a Monday so try and make reservations ahead of time.

    This place is so good! Friends kept telling me to go, and now I get why everyone talks about it…read more If you're planning to visit, try to come before the dinner rush because it fills up fast. Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day. If you like Mexican food and seafood, you need to try it. Great food, big portions, and a menu that makes it hard to stop ordering.

We ordered a variety dishes to share like the beef tartare with squid ink milk bread, Japanese sweet potato, Spanish octopus, golden beets and roasted cauliflower. I was impressed with everything. You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!
