I ate a sushi burrito in LA in like 2019, and then couldn't stop thinking about it for years…read more Little did I know, sushi burritos exist in Indy! My friend had been telling me about her favorite bubble tea spot for months, and when we finally went, I was so happy to see they also have custom poke and sushi burritos and delicious onigiri options. The inside is super cute and was very clean when we went. Service is quick and unfussy, so this would be a great option if you need to pick up a to go order, but it's also a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch break. It's cozy and quiet so could even be a good place to work or study if you're looking off the beaten path on Mass Ave. Aside from the onigiri, most of the food is totally custom and made to order, so you can really get whatever you want. You order on a paper menu like at a sushi restaurant, picking exactly what you like--and honestly, you can go wild here. For the base price of $11.50 (for burritos and bowls), you pick your base, protein, up to two sauces, and then add as many of the mix-ins and toppings as you want. A steal, imo! There are several ways to make this vegetarian (I got tofu), and it could be gluten free, too, if you're careful about sauces. I ordered my burrito and a peach black tea with aloe jelly. Now I can't stop dreaming of the tea, either. Will be back asap. This is better than LA!

I live so close but have never been. Now that I've tried it I keep wanting to go back! I got the…read morewhite peach tea with aloe jelly. It was amazing! I also got a one protein poke bowl. It was super fresh and filling! You order food by filling out a printed piece of paper at the center round table in the center of the restaurant. You check off what you'd like. If you just want a drink you can order at the counter. Service was quick! I liked the atmosphere! It felt cozy and intimate. There's not a whole lot of seating, but the restaurant is also on the smaller side. Everything is packaged to be able to take to go though!

I thought this looked like an interesting poke place and I was not let down. I got the slammin'…read moregarlic salmon bowl, an intense bowl featuring crispy (cooked) mango salmon, tempura cream cheese, fresh jalapeño, avocado, and pickled daikon on your choice of base, layered with garlic puree and spicy mayo. I like spicy food and I was still a little taken aback by how spicy it was! But it was delicious! I loved the commitment to big flavour! My bowl was missing the wonton chips that were supposed to be included, but the salmon and tempura cream cheese sticks provided enough crunchiness that I ended up not really missing the chips. The tempura cream cheese was interesting; I'd liken it to tempura mozzarella sticks. The bowl overall was a little oily, but that may be unavoidable given what was in it. The bowl is $15 before tax. Two "scoops" of protein are included. You can add more for extra, but I thought the default two was plenty. For what I got, I think it was a fair price. I ordered using the kiosk in the food hall. It probably took about 5-10 minutes to make my order. The people there were very friendly when I picked it up!

You know how it goes. You've been traveling and eating a lot of pub food and greasy fried things,…read moreand you want something light and fresh. That was my mindset when I entered The Garage Food Hall at Bottleworks. I just wanted a nourishing lunch. I found that at Poke Guru. First, I have to say: I've really done a 180 on poke bowls in the Midwest! My rule has usually been to avoid raw fish in landlocked states, but that was an ignorant mindset to have. The raw fish (at least, the raw salmon) at Poke Gurus was cold and fresh and very good. I ordered The Original, which is rice with your choice of protein (I chose salmon), plus seaweed, edamame, cucumber, avocado, green onion, Kewpie mayo and pickled red onion. It was a bowl of goodness! The salmon was marinated in soy and sesame sauce, so it was very tasty. I would probably ask for a touch less sauce next time -- I like just a whisper of sauce on my poke bowls, and this one had lots of sauce. Ordering is easy: Just make your way to the touch-screen and enter what you want, and your order is sent to the people standing a couple of feet away from you, looking at you order your food on a kiosk. The good thing is: You don't have to talk to anyone! What a time to be alive. Poke Guru is a great take-out place for introverts, or people who are all people'd-out.

I recently tried Slap's Fish Market and sampled a little bit of everything--lobster roll, burrito,…read morecheesecake, and their lobster deviled eggs--and overall it was a really memorable experience. The service was very helpful deciding what to order. The setting was fun down town indanopolis feel. The lobster roll was definitely the standout. It was packed with fresh, flavorful lobster and had a nice balance of buttery richness without feeling too heavy. You can tell the seafood is high quality, which makes a huge difference. The lobster deviled eggs were super unique and honestly one of my favorite bites. Creamy, slightly tangy, and topped with lobster--it's not something you see everywhere, and they executed it really well. My husband tried the shrimp burrito, which was great for a seafood spot. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and filled generously. It didn't feel like an afterthought on the menu. To finish, the cheesecake was a great choice it was from the cheesecake factory is what the offered for my birthday smooth, rich, and just the right level of sweetness with a strawberry topping to end the meal without being overwhelming. Overall, Slap's Fish Market delivers on both creativity and quality. It's a great spot if you want fresh seafood with a few fun, unexpected twists. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Not gonna lie, my work group really likes coming here when we have lunch outings. My only problem?…read moreI very much dislike seafood to any capacity. Yet, I still eat here just fine. I feel like most seafood places will have vegetarian options by way of removing the fish from pasta dishes or salad, but it's also nice to know that you can get chicken as a substitute on most of these kinds of dishes, too. Granted, it's just like chicken tenders, but still good nonetheless. I really like their firecracker pasta, which is moderately spicy in my opinion. There's no particular fishy smell here, which is always a good sign that the seafood they serve here is freshly prepared. Our food always comes out quickly for lunch and we've been a group as large as 8 or 9. I do believe that ordering is mostly done online in their mass Ave location, though. I don't really seek out a place like Slapfish on my own (no offense at all, just not a seafood girlie!!), but I would assume that it's a rather popular establishment as they recently opened a fifth location in the greater Indy area. If I did like fish and such more, I'd probably be here on a more regular rotation.

I'm a big food hall fan and this one does not disappoint! It's newish and still looks pristine…read more There's a ton of awesome vendors, even beyond just food options, which is cool to see. There's a lot of seating scattered through, including outside, which can sometimes get tight in food halls, so I love to see that, too. A few more highlights for me... + Twenty Two the juice spot has been fabulous both times I've had the pleasure of trying them. + Pumpkinfish is a retail gift shop that has so many cool things! They do a great job at curating the items, everything ranging from Indy themed knick knacks to locally made art and jewelry, all quirky and unique. + The variety of food they have is amazing. Everything from Greek, Asian-fusion, Mexican, and ice cream to a bakery, poke, pizza, burgers, and more. There's something for everyone. Overall, Indy is lucky to have a place like this. If I lived nearby, I would be here all the time!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to find and visit this location…read more If you love exploring multiple food and drink cuisines under one roof, you are in luck! There are several fantastic food halls and multi-concept venues to match your vibe. Great way to reinvent/repurpose an old building. There are way too many venues to mention; so there is chicken, Greek, pizza, Asian, seafood, bbq, beer, liquors, sodas, burgers, bakery, ice creams, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Mexican, noodle bar and more. I had a fishsimmwich. Drink, fish sandwich and chips $12. Tasty sandwich, potato chips mixture of plain and cheese, plain were good, not a cheesy chip fan, but sandwich was good. Definitely a great place to visit! Lots of seating area. I really like the concept! I believe it was an old Coca Cola production building back in the day. J's Lobster and Fish Market! The biggest dilemma is which one to chose. Can't wait to comeback some time to try something else; unfortunately it a tad big commute but one day " I'll be back! "

I always get a small size and it's always enough for me. It comes with one scoop of a protein of your choice and as many toppings as you'd like. I get sushi rice but there's also a brown rice or salad option as well. The fish to put on top has been so good. I go between marinated or sashimi style. Other toppings like vegetables and sauces are also great in the bowl. Very fresh. I highly recommend if you want to try something different and like sushi (or crave something like it). The service was just okay. The lady behind the counter wasn't too helpful or friendly when it came to helping my mom who was there for the first time. Each time I go in she seems to rush me although there's no one else in the store when I usually go in. Maybe fast is just her personality- I'm not too sure. The interior decor was also nice. It reminds me of Hawaii with the palm trees and images on the walls. There's also Hawaiian music playing softly in the background. Overall I highly recommend you to give it a try.

The customer service here is always outstanding. Friendly, helpful, and patient as they answer questions and describe ingredients and options to first time customers. I LOVE the Spicy Kani. I've tried the other proteins but I always get some Spicy Kani. All my favorite ingredients are here: edamame, scallions, pickled ginger, pineapple, red onions, crispy onions, watermelon radish, and mango to name a few. The sauces range from mild to spicy. My favorites are honey wasabi and sesame shoyu, but I have tried most at one time or another. I usually build my own bowl but you can also order a signature bowl too. The Hawaiian shaved ice is unique and delicious. My favorite is Hawaiian Dream. If you like flavorful meals you will love Ali'i Poke.

I probably wouldn't have ordered anything if I knew this was going to be the case. But because the kiosks are right as you walk in, you don't know this until after. I ordered the strawberry coconut latte with coffee jelly. Drink was amazing. Honestly disappointed when they called for me to get my drink, no one made eye contact or said thank you. I feel like to make people feel good about coming in, maybe a little interaction would make it a better experience. I honestly don't think I'll be back in and this was my first time in probably over a year possibly more. I recall it being more welcoming and friendlier.

I will say it was more expensive than expected, but the quality of both the drink and bowl were great! The ordering system via kiosk was pretty easy to use and the items came out quite fast. I did reduce the sweetness on the mango pomelo sago and it was perfect. It had some pulp in it to too which was a great addition to the sago. You can tell that the drink itself was fresh and didnt use artificial powders. For the shrimp bowl, wow this hit the spot! the shrimp was plump and tender. I am excited to try out the bowls that they have!

My sister, who is local, doordashes this place all the time and highly recommended it. I got half sushi rice and salad with most of the free toppings and half salmon/half tuna as well as a Gatorade. My bowl was yummy although the pineapple tasted weird and my ginger sauce barely had any taste. The fish was very good and the toppings were all fresh. For four bowls and four bottled drinks, our total came to about $65. A bit pricey for a late lunch but my sister might have found "the dress " so I guess it was worth it haha! It is also in walking distance to the hotel we stayed at, Ironworks Hotel. There's plenty of parking and plenty of seating as well. Music was not too loud and the space is kept clean. Overall, I am pleased with our lunch!

Holy humuhumunukunukuapua'a! Did they ever. Poke Bros had several flavors of Ramune, but I was only interested in melon, so I grabbed two. If you, too, are looking for Ramune, they are located in a self-serve refrigerator by the counter, on the bottom shelf. Some day, I will be back to try the poke bowls. Poke Bros is set up Chipotle-style, where you tell them what you want and they put it in a bowl. This isn't my favorite kind of setup, because most of the time, I don't want to think about what might taste good together. I do enough thinking all day. I just want to say, "Give me the blahblahblah," and out comes something that tastes delicious that I didn't have to think about. But if you like customizing your food, this place is perfect for you.
