    An unassuming small spot in a strip mall... a nice one, I'll say.. I am very familiar with the area, but had no idea about this gem until my friend suggested we meet here for lunch. I'm so glad that she did! Nice, open, and very clean... I love that there are sheets where you can check off what you'd like in your poke bowl.. made it a very easy and quick process. Friendly service and patient with questions. I got kale and zucchini noodles for my base, which I LOVE the kale noodles.. spicy salmon for my protein.. added sweet onion, furikake, a bunch of veggies--I forget lol, topped with their Hawaiian shoyu sauce (so good) and sriracha.. I devoured this VERY fresh meal. Washed it down with a black tea milk latte with boba..not too sweet.. perfect, actually. Their menu offers so much more, so I've already made plans to visit to try their apps, sushi rolls, burrittos, etc. Cannot wait to return!

    I was having a poke craving that day and this place definitely satisfied it. The servings were decently proportioned, I hate when poke spots short you on meat. The Shrimp Tempura was hot and made fresh along with the vegetables it came with. So much more to choose from that I'm sure would be great too. I'll definitely be stopping back here before i leave the area.

    Amazing sushi. The service was quick and efficient. The ambience screams eat here and the food came out so fast and it was so delicious. Definitely been satisfying. My sushi cravings here lately.

    Veggie poke bowl

    I ordered a veggie poke bowl with kale noodles for take out from here and honestly loved it. The ingredients were fresh and the tofu servings were generous. It was my first time trying kale noodles and if you've never had them I would 100% recommend. They were light and delicious. The whole bowl was filling in a good way. I didn't feel heavy and stuffed like I do after a carb heavy meal. I can't speak to the service and ambiance since I had it as take out but food wise would definitely get again!

    This place is awesomeeee we loved the food. My order was Poke bowl - vegetarian - white rice , zucchini noodles, tofu, cilantro, ginger, kimchi, avocado, green onions, crunchy onions, seaweed, spicy Mayo and ginger dressing. Husband got shrimp tempura and chicken, w/ almost the same toppings and same sauces. Asked for a side of spicy sauce as well. Avocado roll was very fresh. The bubble teas were great, probably the best in the Somerset area as there aren't a lot of places that offer bubble tea here. Restaurant is very clean as well. Service was very professional. Would 100% come again.

    So happy that we came across Poke Star! To start, ordering is extremely easy as they provide sheets where you can check off each item you'd like in your bowl. This makes it super simple to choose. I can honestly say this is the best Poke bowl I've ever had. The fish is extremely fresh and flavorful, the sauces are very tasty, there are great topping options and they provide generous portions. In terms of ambiance, it is definitely a more casual spot. This is a great place to run in if you need lunch on a break or you're looking for a casual date night spot. Highly recommend!

    Food was so fresh and they offer so many options. The boba tea was really good as well.

    This place just opened recently and we have gone twice so far. Both times everything has been amazing and so fresh and delish. The staff is incredible and so nice and explain the menu. They have a great variety and are happy to make your own bowl to your specific taste. Today we stopped by and got the P6, P8 and P10, cream cheese wontons and three juices and bubble tee with lychee. Everything was top notch and delish. Stop in and give It a try. Get some takeout and go to nearby colonial park for a poke sushi picnic. Our new favorite spot!

    Worst poke bowl ever! The fish tasted watered down. The crab rangoon was light and crispy but was just cream cheese.

    I was in Somerset for a conference, and by the time arrived I needed lunch. I wandered into Mahana…read moreFresh and found a calm little dining room with only a handful of tables occupied. The young woman at the counter greeted me with genuine enthusiasm and patiently explained how to build a bowl. The setup will be familiar to anyone who has visited one of the many assembly line quick serve spots that have multiplied across America, but the ingredients here seemed fresher, healthier, and considerably more interesting. Then came the surprise. I ordered a vegetarian bowl. Not because I had planned to. Not because I had undergone a spiritual awakening. It simply happened. I chose cauliflower rice, Sriracha honey Brussels sprouts, Buffalo cauliflower, roasted mushrooms instead of a traditional protein, and creamy wasabi sauce. The young woman kindly asked if I was a vegetarian and pointed out that they offered tofu. I declined, partly out of stubbornness and partly because the bowl already looked complete. Everything tasted excellent. The Brussels sprouts were outstanding. The Buffalo cauliflower had just enough kick. The mushrooms brought a satisfying earthiness to the whole affair. If I have one small complaint, the cauliflower rice was a little dry. Fortunately, the creamy wasabi sauce solved the problem immediately. What impressed me most was the service. The young woman who helped me at the counter later came by my table to make sure I was enjoying my meal. That sort of attention is becoming rare enough to qualify as noteworthy. The restaurant was spotless, the food was flavorful and the people were kind. Not much more you could ask for. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for another bowl.

I can feel good about everything I eat here knowing that it's all pretty good for me. The pricing is very fair considering the quality of the ingredients.

I've tried pretty much all of the veggie options and I must say they are all great! And their spicy Mango Pineapple Vinaigrette is so so good with anything! It actually packs a pretty significant punch. The people here are always super friendly and the restaurant is vibrant and clean.

I got the Dutch chocolate ice cream, which was really rich in flavor . The cookie was also soft and warm, deliciously complimenting the ice cream. I did find the presentation of the sundae to be a bit gimmicky since it was basically deconstructed. At around $13, this treat was definitely overpriced. However, for my friends who just got a cone, they received a big portion at a pretty reasonable price. I'd opt for something simpler next time. The interior is tight, but I love the vibrant pink decor everywhere. It gets a bit busy in here, so there may be a small wait for your ice cream.
