I love the food here but they have gotten even more stingy with their toppings. If you ask for an an average serving they charge double the price of the bowl. As much as I enjoy the taste of the food, I will not be back. I am so disappointed. It's dinner time and no one was in there. I am not at all surprised. I wish them well but they are going to end themselves. read more

My daughter ordered a bowl and the chicken was RAW. She called and a lady said "no mam our chicken is already cooked". See pic. You decide if that's cooked. Very rude, and terrible customer service. read more

The place is nice inside and appealing. When you enter it's a little confusing where a line or order begins. Signage would help with that type of directions. The employees behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I placed my order and the poke bowl was prepared quickly. I tried the brown sugar bubble tea as well. I did a small poke bowl. The bowl was good but I can't say it was great to make me want to return. The sauces helped with flavoring. The bubble tea was interesting as I hadn't had that blend before. Restroom was out of order for customers which is always annoying. Nothing great about this place to make me want to seek it out again while in the area. read more

I ordered a small bowl that comes with two proteins I chose these spicy tuna, as well as the salmon they mix the salmon with all the toppings that I chose instead of drizzling the sauce on top at the end they mix it together. I was a little surprised I did find that the small bowl was pricey it was 11.45 before taxes. When I got home and tried the food it wasn't bad but it wasn't that great and I did find that the salmon was really chewy some parts I couldn't swallow I had to spit out I've never had that experience before at a poke place or a sushi place. read more

We decided to order the brown sugar boba (but they were out of boba so I got it with coffee jelly). It was SO insanely sweet I could barely drink it and this is coming from a sweet tooth herself. I had to go home and add a whole cup of milk before it became anything consumable. Not to mention that the price was absurd for the size drink you get. You can definitely go to so many other places and get larger sizes for the same price if not cheaper. Don't think I'll be returning for boba ever again. Be careful the cups are SUPER thin! read more

When I left Hawaii in 2013 to live back on the continent, I thought I would never get a chance to eat poke again. I have been pleasantly surprised to find poke bars throughout the US, including here in Georgia, and I'm not even in the big city of Atlanta. Perhaps the local university here in Athens attracts student, staff and faculty with a diverse palette. Regardless, I'm delighted that I can get my poke fix. This restaurant is tucked inside an outdoor mall. You pull up and park your car in front of the store. Across the parking lot is a theater that appears to be open, so this little shop probably still gets quite a bit of business despite Covid. There are a lot of choices on the menu. In addition to poke, you can get mochi, boboa tea, mochi, and a variety of other treats. I opted for my usual poke bowl with tuna and spicy tuna accompanied by sides of crab and seaweed salad. Toppings vary slightly from each restaurant I have been too, but some standards do exist like white onion, green onion, cilantro, cucumber, ginger, avocado, etc. They offer several sauces. Initially, I didn't see eel on the list, but it was written in as an afterthought in the corner and the server confirmed it was available. That and spicy mayo was all I needed to give my meal the flavor I love. Yay! There were a few places to sit and eat inside, but I took one of the two tables out front. Even though this store was not crowded with people, it was getting consistent customers coming and going. Unfortunately, plenty of young people were out and about walking on the sidewalk out front without a mask. It made me uncomfortable, especially since one young girl was yelling quite loudly. Thankfully they passed by quickly. I'm not sure the staff inside clear the tables on a regular basis, so I placed my trash in a nearby mall trash can. I'm so happy this poke bar is here. My poke bowl and lavender tea with tapioca balls left me full and content. read more

Don't just walk by this small business. Walk in! Spotless interior. Definitely COVID safe for both customer and employees. The employees were very patient explaining how it works. I did not feel rushed and my questions were answered. A "small" portion was big enough for 1 Very filling dinner. 2 choices of poke. I did the spicy tuna. A bit spicy in the first bite but smooth after that. 2 salad choices as well. Marinated cucumbers and seaweed salad... then toppings. More vegetables and then brown rice. Can't forget the ginger and tobiko. I saw the sign for lavender tea... Got an iced one and I could not have been happier. Definitely a spot to go to anytime I am in Athens. read more

My Taro Milk Tea with tapioca tasted watery and not good. I could have made something better at home if I wanted to waste $6.21 good thing I didn't tip for this drink. I had my family in the car so I didn't have time to go in and complain. But I won't be returning that's for sure. read more

Really good! Really pricey... Great poke bowl. They're pretty stingy with their portions but the quality was there. I might stop again but only if I have an extra $20 to burn on lunch. The large bowl was nearly $18. read more

Honestly this place is rather average for a poke place. They charge extra for the most random things. I don't really have a problem with the price, it was alright but the workers were less than friendly. There were two girls working and the one working on my bowl was placing seaweed in, the other worker said loudly "put less in" which I find to be really off putting and unprofessional. They gave me a stare when i asked for extra cucumbers. They poke it self taste like any other and for nearly 15$ I'd say your better off with the one in downtown. They had great boba thought, but poke wise I can't recommend. read more

Basically a seafood based chipotle. Pretty good but the server had major attitude and didn't seem to really care until her manager came out to check up on stuff. Clearly if you don't like your job you can quit. read more

Healthy portions of protein, good selection of toppings and sauces, pleasant staff assists you with your bowl choices. Only complaint..... was the spicy tuna had an off putting taste, almost sour. I ate around it just in case, maybe too much siracha not sure. read more

Loved this vegan-friendly fast fresh restaurant. The ingredients were all very fresh and colorful. We chose the small bowls and still had some left to take home. Two proteins with great seafood options if that's your thing. Clean, quick and delicious! We will return and I'm recommending to everyone. read more

Updated review: I must say, I did not expect my review to have made such a difference at this place. When I came back for a second time, the service has SIGNIFICANTLY improved. I had a different lady making my bowl - she was smiling the entire time. Very pleasant. The vegetables now has a label next to it saying "unlimited". I like that, because, I admit, when I come to one of these places I like to have all the vegetables because it's one of my rare chances of eating healthy. With a sign like that, I feel less guilty for asking for everything. Freshness has never been an issue here. My bowl this time around was a significant better size (similar to their Avalon and Duluth locations). I'm so impressed with how this restaurant has taken my critical review and made things so much better. I will be back often for sure. Thank you so much!! Original review: I think I would have given a 5 star if I wasn't spoiled by their other locations as well as the Tokyo Express across town that serves poke bowls. The size of the bowl here, at least for the one I got, is about HALF the size I've gotten in their Duluth location and Avalon location. I'm referring to the actual food, not the container. I could have eaten two. It left me so unsatisfied. read more

Glad that me and a coworker decided to try this place today. So yummy! In case you're curious (because I was), it is the same concept as a burrito bowl except with sushi items. There are SO many options to mix and match. Lots of yummy "proteins", toppings and sauces. This is just around the corner from my job so it will definitely be one of my new go-to places for lunch. read more

We went there a year ago and was not impressed but today everything was top knotch. Fish was fresh and tasty. Base of half spring mix and half brown rice was perfect. The large sized was just right for supper. I have tuna, albacore, salmon and scallops. My wife changed scallops for shrimp and we both were happy.. Vegetable mix ons were unlimited. They said the peppers are hot but I didn't think they were. I used the special "eel sauce" which was great. Lots of other toppings to choose from. The place was bright and clean , nothing to look at. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice choice of soft drinks,teas and ice cream.. The poke was in a plastic take out container. We ate it at home read more

I've had my fair share of poke being from the West Coast I can say we're spoiled. But this is not poke, ordered from here due to high ratings but don't be fooled. Rice was old, no flavor or specialty to there food. Tea was nasty as well as the boba. I had high hopes, I was missing home and thought I'd try this place out Nd was dissatisfied. You want authentic poke I suggest going elsewhere. read more

I never knew about this restaurant until recently when I decided to try it out. I was originally overwhelmed with the amount of options and how it worked but easily got the hang of it. I personally think that the more you say yes to the different things you add the more delicious it gets. It's always fun to mix and match!! read more

3.5 stars. It was ok, not the best but for a quick lunch it was sufficient. Toppings include crispy onions and garlic, which elevates the dish. read more

Poke bar has gotten better in some aspects, but worse in others. The fish is now fresh, in exchange for much higher prices. Still need training in cleanliness ( don't wear gloves in back making drinks then handling money ) and customer service. Just be aware read more

Great food. Very generous portions. Service could have been a bit better. Not bad, but not great either. Servers were nice. But the ordering process is odd. Rather than one server taking you through the entire process, they move you and several others from station to station. You spend a lot of time waiting for the people behind you to figure out what they want. It may be more efficient, but not if you don't have the staff to man each station. Would have been 5 stars had it been better. read more

I've never been so disrespected in a restaurant. I walk in and have to wait close to 10 mins while the workers were trying to 6 different orders at once (they could not seem to get it together). Once it was our turn to order they got the order of the person in front of me and behind me in the line and never took my order. I couldn't believe it. As I waiting to say something and let them know I still needed to order, no one came back to see if I needed anything. I was blown away with the un organization they had. Once I finally got to say something to them they caught an attitude and made it seem like I was the problem. NEVER AGAIN POKE!! read more
