We asked for another dish and the server said she didn't think it was possible but that she would ask the owner or manager to come to the table. Right away the woman was rude and said it looks like 3 bites were taken so we would have to pay for a new dish and it would take a long time because they were busy-- it wasn't. We asked nicely and she was rude and I think it was embarrassing for everyone, especially for my daughter who is 26 yrs old and not very picky at all. At this point my daughter said she will pass on another dish because we would have to pay for it and everyone would be done and not even enjoy it after this fiasco. So then, I asked for a refund and she refused. Now everyone in the restaurant was staring at us and I got upset with who I assumed was the owner since she was so greedy. I said I would post very bad reviews on Yelp and Google so she finally (out of embarrassment from customers listening) said she won't charge for the bad teriyaki but no replacement. My daughter sat there hungry so I shared my food with her and got the hec out of that place. Never again!!! I have never experienced this in ANYWHERE!

This is a review for the Mix Poke Truck, which you can find at the Point Ruston Farmers Market in…read moreTacoma on Sundays, and is associated with Mix Poke at Tacoma Mall. Basically, the concept is that you build your own poke bowl, starting with the base, adding two proteins, then sauces, mix-ins, and toppings. I really like the option to build your poke bowl on a salad, instead of the bowl of rice that is the default at most places. (The 4 options for a base are white rice, brown rice, salad, or chips, and I didn't really ask what kind of chips they had.) It's nice that it is so customizable! For protein, I chose tofu and spicy tuna. This spicy tuna is more like a ground tuna or tuna salad, not big chunks. My husband got the ahi, which is cubes of tuna. I looked at his, looked at mine, and said "Where's my tuna?" then I figured out that the sauce-looking stuff was actually the spicy tuna. My advice is to shop the market, stop at Mix Poke Truck (which is at the "end" of the market near the new Silver Cloud Hotel), get your poke bowl, then take a nice walk along the waterfront and find the perfect bench with a view to enjoy it. Because the poke is light and fresh, it really hits the spot and won't weigh you down on your walk. Recipe for a perfect day!

Their spicy ahi was a mashed spicy tuna, which came pretty salty on its own, so if you add additional sauce it will be saltier which is what happened to me. However they did load it up on the protein which is nice.... But idk if the high sodium levels are worth it.

I wish my service was better, but I got the service i paid for which was zero. They still brought my food out, but lowkey its not all my fault I didn't tip. They make you pay in advanced and for somereason I just expected they would bring it out togo. I dont really tip unless im being served and waited and and etc... so yes I was served the food, but wasnt exactly waited on or check on. With that said the food was above ok. Nothing wrong with cheap and good, unless the ingredients make your tummy hurt. Lol. Luckily it was not cheap quality like corner store ramen or anything. My broth was pretty quality also, but could habe used a slight bit more flavor in my opinion. It was a creamy broth and most places keep it clean so its normal that I want more flavor from creamy broth. Lucky for me their spice is actually spicy.

The chicken chashu wasn't chashu, it looked like just sliced up chicken breasts. It didn't have a flavorful broth and some ingredients tasted old. The nachos also had good toppings and fish, but the chips were stale.

It wasn't too busy midday on a Monday to go browsing around inside. The parking lot was easy to enter and exit without any issues. It's a bit small, but it's doable. Stopped by the cafe inside the market and ordered an Iced Lavender Matcha and the famous chocolate chip cookie 'The Cookie'. The Iced Lavender Matcha was good. However, it was VERY SWEET. You could definitely taste the lavender syrup that they used in the drink. The lavender flavor overpowered whatever amount of matcha was in the drink. The Cookie was great! Love eating them warm!

I don't think I'll be back but if you like imitation crab then this might be your place.
