    Build your own bowl
    Nicole L.

    There is lots of parking available as this is in a strip mall. It's not much to look at inside (there were boxes and things piled up in the back of the dining area), but there were still people eating inside and tables available if you really wanted to. (I wouldn't recommend.) The staff was super kind and helpful making recommendations for my build your own poke bowl. There were SO many toppings to choose from, but opted for a normal sushi rice bowl with ahi tuna and salmon topped with edamame, mushrooms, carrots, jalapeños, cucumber, scallions, mango, tempura crunchers, masago, and spicy ginger sauce. It was assembled pretty quick (I got my food much faster than my friend who ordered at the Panera next door), and was super fresh and satisfying.

    Went to this ramen shop with friends. The broth had a nice depth of flavor, but it was too spicy. Noodles were chewy and enjoyable. The pork was flavorful but fatty. The place was clean, but the seating was cramped. Overall, it was an okay experience.

    Vegetarian bowl
    Debby N.

    Stopped on a road trip off this exit and needed to find a good gluten free vegan restaurant. Next door was Panera, which is where I was headed for a salad, but decided to check this place out instead. Wow! So glad I did! I got the vegetarian bowl, which was rice, mixed greens, tofu, edamame, sweet onions, cucumbers.. and they had gluten free soy sauce which I subbed out for what was on the dish. It was so good! And I got the green tea, lightly sweetened., which was so refreshing! Only complaint is that they need to be closer to Cincinnati, where I'm from, lol!!

    Poke Bowl.... blah
    Brandi C.

    Ingredients are not the same. Salad was nothing but iceberg lettuce. Very little of other ingredients in my bowl. Missing selected items. My bowl is normally so coloful. Not anymore. Just filed w lettuce and sprinkles of other ingredients. Before, I never had anything bad to say. The miso soup is too greasy to eat. This is the 3rd poor experience I have had in 2 months.

    I decided to go to poke man today after I got off of work just to try the noodles and in my opinion I order the hot noodles and they were not hot the broth was bland the worker was very nice I will give another try with something else

    Miso ramen
    Emma S.

    The food here was pretty good. The flavors just weren't a good fit for me. The service was good, the staff were helpful and it was quick and easy. The area was pretty good. Limited seating and I think it could have been cleaner.

    This is an awesome spot for vegan eats! I had the Vegetarian Signature Works bowl. It was a bowl of super fresh mostly green ingredients topped with a tasty creamy sesame sauce. The best part is it was ready in a flash! The restaurant itself is clean with clean restrooms

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Kathleen S.

    With covid, I haven't been able to get my poke fix in Chicago. I'm so happy there is a place I can get poke bowls nearby! I customized mine and there were a lot of choices to choose from. The poke bowl was fresh and delicious. If you have never been to a place like this, I suggest asking for recommendations because all of the ingredients could be a little overwhelming. I also got the brown sugar bubble tea which was a bit too sweet for me. For next time, I'll ask for a little less sugar. One thing I want to mention is that this place is only to-go, but understandable so because it's small! This place is definitely worth a stop though and I plan to go back!

    Stopped by on way back to Chicago during road trip and was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the Poke bowl from here. I loved the wide variety of toppings and how each Poke bowl can get customized to an individuals liking. I will definitely stop by next time I drive thru. Thank you. Also it was very easy to order on the app.

    Spicy seafood miso ramen
    Tony M.

    Stumbled upon this great spot on my way to Indy from Chicago. Poke, ramen, and hibachi grilled bowls. It was real cold and snowing outside so ramen was my choice. I picked the spicy seafood miso ramen and it hit the spot! You can customize your order to your exact liking which was awesome. Very generous portion of shrimp and the soft boiled egg was done perfectly. Not too spicy but that might just be me, they'll give you extra jalapeños and have siracha if you you need to crank up the heat. Great customer service and nice clean place to go with the great food...I'll be back for sure!

    Where is this going to be located in merrillville I'm getting super excited just knowing there is a new place to try?

    It's on route 30 next door to Panera Bread. It's already open and today and tomorrow BOGO on poke bowls!

Even if we don't consider its rarity, Da Local Boy is a winner in every category. The prices are very fair for the enormous portion sizes, the decor is fun and appropriate, the service is friendly, and food is phenomenal both in flavors and textures. The only possible criticisms are that the space is a bit small for how popular this spot gets, and the parking in the area can be a bit limited around popular meal times. The food here shines, making it worth a special trip -- both again for the rarity but also the quality. For me, the poke nachos are a must order item, just the perfect mix of large chunks of tuna with super crispy wontons, fresh avocado, and a good helping of sauce. Amongst friends, we've agreed that this is a must order item. The huli huli chicken is also unreal in flavor and texture. Besides being marinated and sauced well, the chicken is melt in your mouth tender while simultaneously having a delicious crisp skin. Think brick chicken, but with more flavor and a much better price. The rice and macaroni salad that accompany this are also well done -- and feel more like a core part of the meal rather than an afterthought. The grilled pork is pretty good as well, though I kind of wish it wasn't sliced as thin, as certain pieces felt a bit dry. The spam musubi with a light touch of furikake also provided a flavorful, fun dish to accompany the other delicious items I tried. Overall, delicious and consistently surprises me with the quality of the execution and bold flavor combinations. This is on my top places to visit in the area and has never disappointed.

When I came in, the entrance is decorated pretty nicely and then there are some display cases with different types of tiki mugs. Many of which are for sale so you're able to take home a little bit of this paradise if you really want to. I had initially sat at the tables but it was a large table and I was by myself and didn't want to take up that much space. So I asked to be seated by the bar. Which is why some of the pictures I took had this blue glow to them that probably don't highlight the food as much as could have. The food wise was really good and the portions. My opinion were rather watch. I had ate dinner that night and took the leftovers home which was lunch. The next day. I had the Hawaiian BBQ chicken that I thought was very good and was recommended by the staff. For drinks, I had a Mai Tai which packed a pretty big punch. My first sip was a little strong, but after eating a little bit and coming back to it, the ice had melted. Just enough for the drink. Actually mellowed greatly and was very enjoyable. Tiki drinks tend to be very strong so I didn't really find this as an issue. All in all, when I travel I like to go to places that are new and I would say if I came back to Chicago I would definitely come here again, especially if I have my wife kid. I think they would love the atmosphere and it's definitely a little tropical getaway in a busy City.

We got two orders of their pineapple salsa with taro chips. It was yummy but wasn't enough substance to match the drink levels. For drinks, our group got a wide variety. They have all sorts of flavor pairings to accommodate every guest. I got the Captain's Revenge after hearing the Pearl Diver was unavailable. It was good but not amazing. For my second drink, I got the Chocolate Banana Old Fashioned which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't hear anyone in our group be disappointed with what they ordered.
