My order: make your own poke bowl,…read more The Review: The poke bowl was delish, portion was kind of small though. Most importantly, the fish seemed really fresh. I also loved their fresh cucumber pickles. Minus one star because unfortunately the place wasn't kept very clean. The staff were very patient and did the most to identify the gluten free options for me. They told me that they have gluten free versions of all of the sauces, including soy-based! If you're really strict, I would double check about cross contamination, as I found a piece of another topping inside the wasabi that was added to my bowl. Also, my friend had the fried chicken and felt unwell after. Overall, it has the potential to be a great poke option. To Poke Hana, I highly recommend you clean more the customer area thoroughly especially since you're working with raw fish and need to present a certain image.

If you're in the Mills50 area and looking for a solid traditional Hawaiian style poke fix that…read moredoesn't feel overpriced or gimmicky, Poke Hana is one of those spots that quietly does the job right! Solid 4 out of 5 for freshness, value, and convenience. I stopped in on a Sunday lunch with a friend, expecting a quick, casual bite, and that is exactly what it delivered. The staff was friendly from start to finish and genuinely great at recommending combinations. Service was fast the entire way through, from ordering to pickup, without feeling rushed. One detail I appreciated is that there are two entrances, and the back door is super convenient since it leads straight out to the parking lot. The vibe inside is clean and straightforward, nothing overly flashy, and I really like the nod to Hawaii in the decor. It gives the space a relaxed island inspired feel without trying too hard, just a well kept fast casual setup that makes it easy to focus on the food. What I ordered: I went with a custom bowl. The tuna and salmon were both fresh with zero fishiness, which is always the first thing I look for. I tried the soyu and Hawaiian aioli sauces and both were a bit on the subtle side and leaned slightly bland, but not enough to take away from the overall bowl since everything else was solid. The unlimited toppings were a nice bonus and pretty consistent with what you would expect from similar poke spots. My friend ordered the garlic fried shrimp rice plate. The shrimp came out crispy and savory, and the mac salad on the side had a nice balance of creamy mayo with a bit of carrot to lighten it up. Total came out to about $36 with tip, which felt fair for a casual lunch for two. Overall, this is a great go to if you want something fast, fresh, and relatively healthy in Mills50. I would definitely come back, especially when I want a no stress lunch that still hits!

The girls working were super nice and they got me out so quickly. I got the ahi tuna bowl and since is was Tuesday, they told me I get an extra topping for free, so that was a plus! It was a little under $12 out the door, which is such a great bowl deal. This is great if you're looking for a quick and healthy lunch option. There are lots of indoor seating for you to sit and enjoy or you can do a grab and go like I did. Definitely will be coming back.

This place is located inside a little meat and cheese market on a corner lot in WP. Theres also a…read morelittle sandwich shop in there I believe. The staff are quite nice and friendly. The place has a couple pre-made options as well as a build your own bowl. It's $13.99 and you can get two bases (white rice/forbidden rice (an apparently healthier rice thats black)/spring greens), two protein, 6 toppings, 2 sauces, 3 crunchies and 2 spicy add ons included in the $13.99. You fill out a little paper and they make it for you. It did take awhile for the lady to build our bowls but I guess since it isn't Chipotle-style where you point at what you want, it makes sense. You can walk around the meat and cheese market for a bit while you wait though. However, if you're not there for meat or cheese, there's not much else to look at except a small collection of sauces, crackers and drinks that you can get at a regular grocery store. The bowl was a good size honestly. The container they give it in is a little large so it looked lacking when we picked it up but it actually contained a good amount. I think the most commendable aspect is that they give a lot of fish/protein. The poke isn't bad. I got the sriracha mayo and garlic sauce on my bowl and I think they paired well enough. The forbidden rice isn't bad either. I got both the white rice and forbidden rice and they taste almost the same tbh. The veggies are fresh and refreshing. Overall, not a bad bowl of poke.

For the first time we visited them at their Gatlin Hall Brewing location and it was delightful! They had a special fish tip with toasted pita that was on point. And my poke bowl was loaded with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Another win is that there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so we could enjoy our bowls fresh... no need to tote them home. The service was great and fast... and he did a beautiful job constructing our bowls. The only reason I can give them 5 stars is because it's located inside a brewery that feels like a bar and it's not an elevated experience. Don't really love eating with single use plastic and a pub table. So go for the food and don't worry about the ambiance!

Well I spun my RNG wheel of restaurants and landed on Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen, so we popped in for…read morelunch one day and had a delicious meal! Ambiance was nice. It's in a strip mall, but the space inside is done up pretty well. Very Aloha. Very cozy. The service was A+, too. Very friendly people who helped me figure out that the only way to go for a first visit is to sample everything. And the food came out timely. Everything tasted freshmade. Great vibes from everything. So we started off with the Aloha Special (Combination Plate: Mochiko Chicken, Crispy Pork Belly, and Ono Shrimp. Mac Salad topped w/Kani Krab). Literally some of the best chicken I've had in my life. Part chicken katsu, part Korean fried chicken, just a really magnificent thing. Order this, please. The pork belly was nice and crispy and flavorful. The shrimp read a little too salty, though. If you're considering the shrimp, just be wary. The Surfside Sample (Combination Plate: Luau Pig, Beef Short Ribs and Ono Shrimp) was a little less impressive. If you have to choose between the combo plates, pick the other one. Pork was good, had a yummy, sticky sauce on top. The short ribs were good, too. Not too chewy or anything. And, the return of the shrimp. I also got the Spam Musubi (Spam with sweet sauce and rice, wrapped in Nori), because of course I had to. I will never see a musubi on a menu and not order it. This one was good. Standard. You won't be disappointed. Overall, a superb five star meal. I'm very glad I came here, and I would love to come back.

Very friendly people and the food came out very timely. The food itself was awesome. They had sampler platters that let us try a little bit of almost everything! Cons: The only con was that all the meats just read a little too salty. Maybe a little more lemon would help Tips: Get the sampler platters, like I said, and always order an extra Spam musubi! Those things are always a good addition to your meal or a good snack for later.

I've had my fair share of poke bowls, and this one easily ranks among my favorites in Central…read moreFlorida. Tucked inside East End Market on the first floor, this walk-up counter spot keeps things simple and fresh. I ordered the 2-style poke bowl ($19) with the Lava Flow Tuna and Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon (contains nuts) over rice. After ordering, I grabbed a table in the courtyard, where there are plenty of umbrella-shaded seats that make for a relaxing place to enjoy your meal. The standout here is the freshness. Every piece of fish was thick-cut, buttery, and incredibly clean-tasting. The Lava Flow Tuna is lightly torched, adding a subtle smokiness that complements its sweet, savory glaze with just the right kick of spice. It was rich and flavorful without overpowering the tuna itself. The Hawaiian Tobiko Salmon was my favorite. It had a rich, buttery texture, while the tobiko added little bursts of texture and a subtle briny finish. Nothing felt overly sauced or heavily seasoned, allowing the quality of each ingredient to shine. At first glance, the portion looked a little small, but it ended up being the right amount to leave me satisfied without feeling overly full afterward. At around $20-ish, it is on the pricier side for a poke bowl, but considering the quality and freshness of the fish, I walked away happy. If you're already visiting East End Market, this is an easy recommendation, especially if you're looking for something fresh, flavorful, and lighter without sacrificing quality.

I don't like doing negative reviews, but this experience was just completely wrong…read more This is one of the food trucks in A La Carte. The open seating beer hall and food truck partnership. They seem to be a permanent fixture to the little food hall. We ordered the Huli Huli chicken bowl with brown rice and the Tempura shrimp bao. The food took about 20 minutes to cook, which sticks, but the biggest issue I had was the bowl was ready about 7 minutes before the bao and sat in the window for that time. Why not tell us so we could enjoy it hot? It sat and was cold by the time I got it. The rice was mushy and taste like boil in a bag junk. It also said it came with pineapple, which I could only find three half nibs in the whole bowl. The bao were pretty good, but so drenched in sauce that we could barely taste the shrimp and accompaniments. The meal was so disappointing I only ate a few bites and couldn't continue. I won't be back.

5 Stars for tasty poke with unconventional options (Poke burger)…read more I've had PokeKai in South Florida once before and opted to try it locally a few weeks ago while enjoying a girl's night in with friends. We saw that they had a BOGO deal on UberEats and both opted to try the Poke Burger with tuna and the krab rangoon. I absolutely devoured the krab rangoons, which luckily kept their signature crispy exterior even though they were delivered and not eaten right at A La Cart. The sauce was tangy and a perfect complement to the homemade creamy krab dip. The Poke burger with tuna was a generous size and consisted of crispy rice buns stuffed with tuna/salmon/ or tofu (we got tuna), kai salad, avocado, eel sauce, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo. It definitely packed a kick, but the avocado kept it from being too spicy for me! The only drawback for me was the crispy rice is on the oily side, but truly this is a huge serving and is really tasty. This is the spot if you're looking for fusion poke options served in bao buns, ceviche, and burger form.
