    Visited today after local yoga class. Wanted to get lunch. Ordered regular Ppke bowl with beef and toppings. Plenty of parking Downtown on street and behind / side of building. Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Reasonable price for order.

    Generous helpings, free miso soup!

    Generous servings, free miso soup with each order. Cleaner and comfortable place to grab a bite!

    Poke bowl with Miso Soup
    Krystina W.

    Convenient spot for those staying in Tempe. Walking distance to many other establishment. Huge selection of food... probably good for a group that's not all sushi lovers. The quality was good (as in I had no issues) and the prices was comparable to what you would expect. Toppings on the poke bowl were ok...but overall no complaints! Plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. & Entrance is kind of on the side of the building?

    food was sooo good i got a "Dynamite Crazy Philadelphia HH " it took like less then 10 minutes for it to be ready , workers were really Nice and helpful , atmosphere was great as well and felt safe at this place .

    Shrimp Tempura
    David E.

    Stopped by on a Tuesday night. Restaurant was not busy at all. I ordered two sushi rolls. Spicy Tuna and Tempura Shrimp. Presentation was decent and items packaged well. Tempura shrimp came from a frozen retail box. Breading was heavy and finished product tasted of old fryer oil. Rice had dry bits that crunched as I ate. Spicy Tuna was essentially flavorless except for the soy sauce. Could have used more seasoning and perhaps a bit of mayo to add a savory feel. Soda fountain was out of CO2, but issue was mitigated by allowing me to select from a very limited supply of bottled beverages. Total price for the two rolls and soda was about $30. Value for the money was quite low.

    I ended up ordering a couple of their sushi rolls and they were absolutely amazing! The Philadelphia roll was really fresh and the crunchy shrimp roll had a wonderful, sweeter flavor. Literally everyone else in the restaurant had a poke bowl, so maybe try that as well!

    Spicy Beef and shrimp ramen

    The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch! There are so many great options on the menu, but the spicy ramen and baked sushi completely blew me away--hands down the best I've had in Arizona! Everything is super fresh, super affordable, and packed with flavor. It gets busy (for good reason!), but totally worth it. I just happened to find this place while I was in the area, and now it's my go-to hidden gem. So glad I discovered it!

    "ITS okay. Nothing special for me." This review is on the CRAZY 2U SUSHI ROLL. -first off it doesn't look at all like the picture -flavor is good. -crab is spicy which is good. -not crispy enough for me. -the texture is too mushy; it's more mushy than crispy. - my friend rated her poke bowl 7/10 (she didn't like how the fish was being stored in the store) she said it's seems unsanitary the way they have it open. Would I come back? Ehhh not memorable but not a bad experience just not enough for me to come back.

    A bit hidden but still on mill, poke 2 u is a convenient stop for lunch or dinner. Friendly service and no wait. Our two rolls were very well made and we took them to go! There's also a bunch of seating if you do plan to stay to eat.

    Regular Poke Bowl with Chicken
    Tiffany D.

    I only had 20 mins before starting my volunteer shift on Mill Avenue. My friend and I stopped in this spot because it was close. I got a poke burrito and she got a bowl. The food was excellent, the person who helped us was kind, patient and made great suggestions. I will definitely make plans to go back when I have another shift on that street.

    Good poke option off of Mill Ave. Staff is fast, place is clean, ingredients are standard but fresh. No surprises, but a good healthy option if you are in the area. Large bowl comes with 4 scoops of protein and unlimited toppings. Avocado is $1 extra, pretty typical of all poke spots. Comes with a nice cup of miso soup- bonus!

    Regular Poke Bowl

    Poke 2U is fast, affordable, and delicious! I ordered the regular poke bowl (which was more than enough food for lunch) and since I was eating there, I got a free cup of miso soup, too. The poke bowl was completely customizable - I got to pick the base, toppings, and three different proteins, as well as crunchies and sauces on top. The servers were so friendly and accommodating! All of the ingredients were so fresh, too, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary cup of soup, which was served piping hot.

    Crazy 2 u sushi

    This is a hidden gem close to Sky Harbor Airport. I introduced my boyfriend to Poke recently and he's been eating it ever since. He suggested this place for lunch before my flight leaves for LA. We got here and no one was in line so we ordered right away. We got a poke bowl and a sushi roll. Their poke bowls come in regular or large. We both got the regular. For my protein, I got 2 salmon and 1 shrimp. My boyfriend only likes cooked stuff so he got 2 scoops of the shrimp. We were both surprised with how much the proteins were. They really give you a reasonable amount. For the sushi roll, we got crazy 2 u. He said it was pretty good. The price was reasonable. The staff are nice. I will go back here if I am in the area again.

    We went to Pacific Rim Hawaiian and Poké in Mesa last night, because they are opening up their…read moreSurprise location very soon and we wanted to try it beforehand! This might be the BEST Hawaiian food I have ever had. It was SO good. We both got combo plates: mine was with katsu, char siu, spicy garlic chicken, and BBQ beef; my husband got the same, except instead of katsu, he got kalbi ribs. It was fantastic! All of the meats tasted so good, the mac salad was delicious and everything has top tier quality and taste. But I think my favorite and the star of the show is the poké. We tried two different kinds: a half pound of Hawaiian style (right) and a half pound of fried crunchy garlic (left). OMG it was heavenly! Such fresh fish and amazing flavors. I absolutely LOVED them both and wanted to eat pounds of it if I could. I want to try ALL the flavors! They had about six different poké flavors and indicated that the Surprise location would have way more, roughly double that and I am so excited about that. They also have bento boxes, burgers, poke bowls, lumpia, spam musubi (including deep fried), and an assortment of desserts. They also do weekly rotating specials; this week was loco moco specials and there were a lot of different ones to try. Chef Blaise Aki came to our table and chatted with us and he is awesome. Takes pride in his food and his customer service (which was top notch, by the way). He is an awesome chef and his food is amazing! Such a good experience and I cannot WAIT until they are in Surprise!

From…read morethe moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the menu since it was our first visit. The restaurant was spotless, and our food came out surprisingly fast. You can really tell this is a true family-owned (ma and pa) restaurant. The owners are actually from Hawaii, and their passion for authentic Hawaiian food shines through in every bite. We ordered the rib special with the guava BBQ sauce and the combo plate with chicken and beef. Both were absolutely amazing! The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. As a bonus, they gave us a free order of katsu chicken to try, and it was mouthwatering--the best I've ever had. What really made the experience special was how the owners treated us. They made us feel like family, not just customers. It's rare to find food this delicious paired with such genuine hospitality. Pacific Rim has definitely earned a permanent spot on our family's list of favorite restaurants. We can't wait to come back! Thank you.

    The food was actually very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing because the…read moreservice was absolutely horrible. We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

However, my go to poke shop has closed…read moredown awhile ago but now I have discovered this spot, my poke cravings have been answered. What I love about this spot is that they give do not skimp out on portions; you will get your money's worth every visit. Heaps of fresh fish and as many toppings as you want. I believe that this is family-owned business and the staff are very kind. My order is usually this: Mixed greens and Brown Rice Salmon Albacore Tuna Eel sauce, Ponzu Wonton Crisp Crab Salad Seaweed Salad Edamame Masago Cucumbers Green Onion Ginger But I always try something different when I visit. Can't go wrong with how you customize your poke as you can always taste the quality and freshness. As for pricing, it can be a little pricey...averaging about $20 but to be fair, it is seafood...so you'd expect it to be pricey. Overall, I will continue coming to this location for poke. I'd rate this place a strong 9/10. Adam Nguyen Copyright 2026 - All Rights Reserved.

I split it with him (because they put plenty in one bowl) and had white rice, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo, their house sauce, cucumbers, green onion, edamame, avocado, furikake, sesame seeds, and wanton strips in our bowl. This is one of my favorite ways to eat healthy and delicious food. My only regret? Not adding more veggies! Because I probably would've enjoyed them! The man taking our order was very fast and efficient and chill. Their bathroom and dining room was clean. My only complaint is that my husband mentioned that the salmon was slimy, which I noticed when we were adding ingredients to our bowl. The salmon had that white film for when it's been sitting out for a little bit. Also, I dislike paying extra for avocado. But all things considered, this place had GREAT food that I was able to split (or nail the whole thing because it's so tasty) for around $16. ...I'll probably be back!
