I was impressed with their updated (since I had last gone in 2020) way of ordering food, you take a slip of paper and mark down how you want to customize your poke bowl. Gone are the days of long lines of people who don't know exactly what they want and allows people to order their food at their own pace. Once I submitted my slip, I had my food prepared in under 10 minutes (5 other people were ahead of me). The dining room is very simple, they have a few tables with benches and the lighting is bright. Definitely a place I'd go back to just because the quality of the food is incredible

The store said they opened at 11am but doors weren't actually unlocked until 11:20am which in the cold winter weather seemed longer than that. When the store opened, I ordered a Thai tea bubble tea and built my own poke bowl with 2 proteins- unagi (eel) and spicy poke. Both were pretty good. The eel melted in my mouth and the spicy tuna was tasty but I was expecting chunks of tuna rather than ground tuna that was served.

Fresh, tasty, plenty yummy! Today's bowl of salmon was perfect. Tons of different textures with crunch, julienned cucumber, firm edamame, soft rice and lots and lots of salmon. No question, a filling and satisfying meal. Looking for something yummy? Hawaii Poke all the way! [Review 20465 overall - 121 in Minnesota - 1445 of 2023.]

It was a little confusing at first but glancing at the large menu of options to build your perfect poke bowl, it was a little easier to maneuver. You pick your rice or greens base, protein(s), veggies, sauce, and other fresh toppings that I'm sure will not disappoint. The service was great and with my many questions, they were willing to answer them. There is plenty of space to sit inside by yourself or in a group. I had a salad with tuna and all the veggies and it was reasonably priced for all I got. Depending on how hungry (or generous lol) you are, this would easily be shared with another person.

The only downside is their space is small so you may have to wait but it is 100% worth the wait. Arrest parking is available and wasn't too hard to find. I recommend trying them for lunch!

I love a place that has a big menu because I love trying different things. We tried the lucky 7 roll and hibachi. The special roll had huge pieces, almost a two-biter piece! Thankfully it was only six pieces because then we wouldn't get too full. The hibachi was decent, not the best but it was good. I like the noodles instead of the fried rice. Service was quick. Inside is realllll tight, and it's one of those places that you get seated right next to someone. I lowkey hate it and can't fully enjoy myself at these kinds of places. There's street parking and a lot in the back, so you might have to walk a bit. Overall, good food but the ambiance ain't it.

The karaage was spongy and mushy, not crispy like properly fried chicken is supposed to be. But the rice? That was the fkn worst part of it. They served me old rice that was dry, hard, and mostly in one clump. Like you guys couldn't serve me fresh rice? Do you guys even make fresh rice? I would be hesitant to serve this food to a prisoner, but you MFs charged me money for this $hit? F*ck this place!

PROs: ++ I love that you write your order on a piece of paper. This really helps to ensure you get what you want for your dish. They have separate sheets for what you're ordering - rice bowl, poke bowl, etc... ++ My bowl was assembled FAST and everything tasted delicious! The crab salad and seaweed salad were some of the best I've had. ++ Spam Musubi. Oh yes! They have it and it is delicious. I was so excited to find that a single order contained two pieces. Yum! If you haven't tried it - you must! ++ They are offering online ordering and delivery through their website. CONs: -- The only drawback I experienced was that they are still not allowing indoor dinning. Kind of a bummer since everywhere else I had gone during my visit was back open in full-force. I did find some benches a little ways up the block to sit and enjoy my meal. I make my way to Minnesota annually for my besties birthday, and I will gladly make my way back to The Cove to get my poke fix! **Pro Tip: They also offer sushiritos, banh mi, a variety of different bowls, and more!

I think the quality is solid and the portion sizes are generous! The missing star is to account for the inconsistency. Sometimes a level 2 spice level is perfect and sometimes it's wayyyy to much. Sometimes they add lots of fish, sometimes just a few pieces. I think it just depends on who is working that day. I think they could improve on staff training to improve consistency. Despite this, I find myself coming back to this delicious spot for a quick and filling lunch! It's definitely worth going and trying out! I also think the fusion theme is awesome - they have sushiritos, banh mi, rice bowls, steam buns, sambusas, burgers, etc! It's a pretty impressive variety.

I got a medium bowl (2 proteins) for $14. That price is the cheapest I've had for poke both here and in CA! Love that they have slips to indicate the items you want in the bowl. Luckily it wasn't busy when I was there but I'm sure filling out the slips are helpful during peak hours. I got my bowl a few mins after ordering and the employee appreciated my business. Like many poke places, JJ's has a rewards program I signed up for. If I go to UMN, I'm sure I will be a regular as poke is often my go-to meal when I'm out and don't have time to stop at home.
