    Medium bowl
    Izza F.

    Had the chance to try this after running errands yesterday and loved everything. Service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come here again. I order the medium and coke. Filled me up.

    Chewy salmon
    Nadia A.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Taro Milk Tea  tasted watery moist places have brighter purple color.

    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.

    Very good service, super clean restaurant. Nice atmosphere to eat in. Food was very good, flavorful and lots of variety in toppings. Would definitely come again.

    I would eat here every day if I had the opportunity. Maybe even three meals a day. The food is always delicious and the staff is super friendly. They even have a Pikachu hanging out inside in his Bulldog attire.

    Medium bowl with tons of goodness!

    Saw the place listed in a "Things to Do" magazine and walked over from the music festival. To our…read moresurprise the food was great. Sichuan calamari came in a good size dish and had a great spicy flavor. We also had some sushi that was fresh and tasty. Finally the shrimp and chorizo fettuccini was outstanding. Waiter and food service were timely and polite. We may never be back to Athens but if we are, I'll eat here again.

    This place opens at 5, we got there around 5:20 on a Sunday evening and it was nearly empty. I'm…read morenot from around here and that made me nervous, but by the end of the meal it was 90% + full. Service was fantastic, our server was friendly and offered another preparation for the fish of the day from a different choice in the menu. I had the daily special, Jamaican Jerk Red Snapper over rice with grilled pineapple, pickled red onion and edamame. The grilled pineapple perfectly complimented the blackened fish, jerk spice prepared in that way can land on a the salty side. The pineapple cut the saltiness and really worked when eaten together. The chef clearly understands a layered flavor approach to a dish, this was perfect. My dad had a parm crusted grouper over risotto. Each element was prepared perfectly. The minor issue here was that food took a bit longer to arrive than what I'm used to, but I enjoyed chatting with my dad on the outdoor patio. Restaurant was clean and the server (Allison) was a complete professional, clearly understanding all aspects of dishes they serve. Dessert was a peach cheesecake with hot honey drizzle. It was really really good and worth it! Would absolutely eat here again and this place is a better choice than some downtown Athens offers that have jumped the shark in my opinion.

    Lovely little spot, I wish I lived closer to visit more often!…read more I am a fiend for Thai food, it's one of my favorite cuisines so I'm always happy to try a new spot on my radar. Truly, I am skeptical about trying Asian foods that aren't in metro Atlanta but Thai Spoon impressed me! I visited on a Sunday after opening , I was sat quickly and got to enjoy my meal within 15ish minutes. Quick service and my waiter was very nice! The drunken noodles were light on flavor and a little spicy, I wish it was more spicy and more flavorful but I think it suits the area and it might be just me. The portion is pretty big and very filling, I wish there was a bit more noodle but the veggies and chicken made up for it. I would love order this again next time I visit. Mango sticky rice would be my final meal if it were up to me. That being said, this place made a beautiful plate of my beloved. I just wish there was more rice!!! The mango was delicious and beautiful, great size with it being non mango season. Would love to order this again too! Clearly, this restaurant has all of my favorite Thai dishes in one place so I had to get a Thai iced coffee. It was perfectly sweet and strong, I'm daydreaming about it right now actually Thai Spoon fulfilled my Thai cravings for now, and they will see me again when I'm in the area! I wish I had found it sooner.
