They actually took the time to explain everything instead of rushing me, which I really appreciated. The food was really fresh and you can tell the quality is there. The fish tasted super clean and the portions were generous. Everything was flavorful without being overwhelming. What stood out the most though was the customer service. Everyone was welcoming, patient, and just had really good energy. It made the whole experience way better. Definitely coming back and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a good poke spot

Hawai'i poke bowls are different 100% this place tries to use Hawaiian as the roots for their poke bowls offering Hawaiian Sun drinks. Ya this is not that place at all. The Ahi is very low quality, not sure if it's frozen. Poke bowls are supposed to have more protein than filler. This is mostly cheap ingredients that make up the bowl. The staff is forgetful. They asked me to repeat my order a few times after I just told them, a few seconds prior. They made the bowl promptly though. The lava flow lemonade is super sour. I thought with the coconut that it would sweeten it up, ya no. The place is clean and a decent size and was pretty empty. Overall, if you like that horrible mainland style poke bowl that's no where near the original style where you get mainly protein, then come here.

There is plenty of outdoor patio seating if you order to-go, and lots of booth and table seating indoors, too. They have a huge menu variety. A long list of delicious sushi rolls are displayed on one menu, and the hot entrees and other sides are on their menu board. We ordered a bento box each. I had the grilled chicken teriyaki, spicy tuna roll, and it comes with a side salad, rice, egg rolls, and mixed vegetable tempura. My husband got the same thing, but he had the orange chicken style instead. Wow! Delicious food and huge portions for a great price. The staff are friendly and the service was quick. We must have arrived at the perfect time because it got busy with a dinner rush shortly after we arrived and were seated. Definitely going to be coming back soon!

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.

I had high…read moreexpectations, but since I wasn't particularly hungry, I sat down with a casual mindset, just planning to have a light meal. After finishing, my biggest takeaway was: how has this place managed to stay open for so long? Environment: The place is clean, and both the sushi counter and the freshness of the ingredients are evident to the eye. The chefs' uniforms are also very neat. Taste: Sorry, it's hard to put into words! I ordered the lunch combo. The server asked how I wanted my beef done, and I said medium rare would be fine. But the beef was really tough! The tempura was okay. My friend had the pork cutlet rice bowl--the cutlet wasn't crispy, and the sauce was poured directly on top instead of being served on the side as we requested. So neither of us finished our food and we left. Fun fact: Tempura, though it's deep-fried, actually has the second-lowest calorie count among all Japanese dishes. So what's the lowest? Sorry, I forgot. A long time ago, Japan was considered the end of the continent, so many things that made their way there were seen as reaching the ultimate destination. As a result, the Japanese would thoroughly study everything that came--whether it was swords, food, tea ceremony, etc.--which eventually gave rise to what we now call craftsmanship or the spirit of mastery.

So depending on when you go, there may be a lot of foot traffic and its street parking only. They are right next to Marzano. Once you get, there's a a few tables to by the register and then a few tables on the other side. But there is additional seating on the left side. But if you're a large party, it may be hard to sit together as the restaurant is on a smaller side. We ordered takoyaki, fried chicken gyoza, pop rock shrimp for starters. Then order the kids Ramen and kids shrimp dupbap. (If your kids/nephew/niece aren't a fan of sauce on their things, ask for sauce on the side.) Then I had the chicken katsu dupbap and my friend ordered the shrimp spicy Ramen I think. We were too focused on getting the nephews fed, we didn't take a photo of our food. Hahaha. The food was alright. The nephews loved the op rock shrimp so we ordered more of that. Service was alright and the staff was friendly.

The seating was bench and table, not too busy early afternoon to sit where we wanted. Ordered Pho (Combo & Brisket), Banh Mi Chicken and a Bubble Peach Tea. The food took longer than a typical Pho restaurant takes. The boba tea came out right away. The drink was grainy, which leads me to assume they use the powdered mixture. The Tapioca balls were mushy. Not recommended as this drink gets a 2. The Banh Mi was good 3.5, meat was not dry and plenty of fillings. The negative was the mayo, a little too much as it overpowered the taste. I needed to add sauces to counter. The Pho bowls were excellent 5, the regular was still a lot. They need to add a smaller bowl. There was a lot of meat, more than normal. The broth was not greasy. The side toppings were fresh and not wilted. Highly recommend trying this place out. We happen to drive by and the colorful windows caught our attention. We only ate Vietnamese dishes, but they have other items fried rice to tenders to satisfy any party. Next time I come out, I will try their noodle bowls.

Gnosh came into my life on accident and like a barn cat, is unlikely to leave. We had the garlic fries. They are simple crinkle cut fries but were overall okay. Ours were unseasoned which was a bit of a downer but whatever. We also had the giant grilled cheese that they offer. The amount of cheese in this thing was ridiculous and was wildly ooey gooey. Just what we want. Unfortunately it was a little dry on the outside. I know I shouldn't want grease but I want grease. I'll be back.
