    WAY EXPIRED CHIPS! SICK!

    My son usually goes here and I usually go somewhere else because I don't like spicy hot food; however, this time I heard they had a new addition to the menu so I went in. I asked them if the new Huli Huli Chicken was spicy hot and they said no, it was sweet. So, we purchased the chicken dish, 2 bags of chips, and a cookie for takeout. When we arrived back home, the Chicken was spicy hot so I threw it out!!! Sooooo, they lied to me to make a sale. I shook my head and said, "At least I have the chips". I opened the bag and examined the maker of the chips. I was instantly appalled by seeing an expiration date of December 16, 2025 (It is February 23 today!)!!!! Also, my son yesterday bought 2 Musubis and 2 Yuzu Ponzu Salmon dishes and the 2 Musubis were going to expire that same day. This restaurant is right by Coronado High School so just imagine the expired crap they are throwing at our kids! NEVER AGAIN!

    Poke Your Way Regular - Ahi Tuna
    Angelica L.

    Overall: 3.5/5 (dine in) We came around 11:30 AM to order lunch and they didn't have a lot of items that we wanted. They didn't have kale noodles, salad, cilantro, or salmon. If a store is going to open at 11 AM, I expect the advertised food to be available. The food should be prepped before opening or the night before. It's not a good business model to not have - say - salmon which is a huge part of the menu, especially if you're a poke place. Poke Your Way Regular: We got a regular bowl with 2 scoops of ahi tuna since there were no other proteins we wanted. You can choose your base, mix-ins, toppings, and sauces. For the base, since they didn't have kale noodles or salad, we got half white rice and half brown rice. The rice was really good, especially the brown rice since it wasn't dry at all. For the mix-ins, we got cucumbers, sweet onions, edamame, pineapple, mango, & mandarin orange. The fruits gave the bowl a delicious sweetness that went well with the ahi tuna. For the sauces, we got umami shoyu, sweet shoyu, and a little bit of the spicy serrano aioli. The flavors are what made the bowl really good because the ahi tuna wasn't that fresh. For the toppings, we got surimi (crab) salad, masago, green onions, pickled ginger, wasabi, & furikake. For the crunch, we got onion crisps, garlic crisps, & shredded nori. Everything went well together. If you're not that hungry or eat a little for lunch, you can split this bowl with someone else.

    Rock hard avocado and fishy tuna

    Service was extremely slow. The first night I went they were out of everything so I said I'd come back: went today and horrible. Tuna was fishy. Avocado rock solid. One girl working and it was not sanitary. Stay clear.

    The food is good, but I recommend going in and ordering in person. Under no circumstances should you order delivery. They are perpetually out of items and will not notify you if you order delivery. I ordered the keto bowl which is supposed to have cauliflower rice, mixed greens, avocado, surimi salad, tuna, Serrano aioli, ginger, and seaweed. When my bowl arrived it had plain white rice instead of cauliflower, no mixed greens, no avocado, no ginger, and no surimi. It was basically white rice, tuna, and seaweed with barely any aioli. But they still charged me the extra cost for a "limited time" bowl. Not even a call to say they were out of anything or to check if substitutions were okay or if I wanted to change my order.

    My poke adventure took me to this place on the west side. It's right across the street from whole foods, but you can easily miss the sign because the tree branches in the front need trimming. Anyway, this place is fantastic!! The scoops were a bit better!!! They have options on the board, or you can create your poke bowl! What I really love about this place was the fact that they had Hawaiian Sun and SPAM MUSUBI!! Oh, if you're from Hawaii, you would know!! I got a Hawaiian sun, and it was amazing. I haven't had one in over two years. Anyways, if you're a poke lover, definitely try them out!! If you're on the east side, make the trip. It's worth it!!

    This is the ahi tuna bowl. Super yum

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place. Its good! The fish is okay too and the prices are decent. The service was awesome and the vibes are like brunch vibes with a lot of sunshine!

    This is what I got instead of the California Roll Pressed Sushi

    Ordered twice on Uber eats in the same date. The first time, the California roll pressed sushi was missing, so I ordered the missing items again... I have no idea what they sent, but it's for sure not what i ordered. this is not the first time I have had issues with this location. either if I go in person or order via Uber there is always something wrong with my order. Never ordering from there ever again.

    if you like eating your food in the freezer then this is the place to be! it was soooo cold in there that it was super uncomfortable to finish our food. the food on the other hand was great! we enjoyed it and thought the ingredients were very fresh! would order take out next time.

Maybe there's better luck to be had by going inside. I've been here a a couple of times and apart from the poke quality and freshness being less than that of other poke places in town I feel as though it's poorly managed. The times I've been, the person at the drive thru doesn't seem very familiar with the menu and they always seem to be out of several different things which makes ordering a long process. My last experience the drive thru ordering speaker had a sign saying it was out of order and to pull forward to order at the window. After waiting for several minutes at the window and a couple of light horn taps nobody came up to help me. The line started to back up and after a couple of more minutes of waiting I drove off assuming they must have been busy to see only 1 costumer inside. Wish I had a better experience with this place because there's not a ton of fresh healthy options on this side of Mesa. I think it's just lacking some better attention and customer awareness to be a reasonable option for a meal.

The only downside was the protein scoops were the tiniest scoops in the whole wide world and the staff was very stingy with everything that went in the bowl even the veggies.

There were about 8 different flavored juices in the fridge. This place is good. The bowl was tasty the whole way through.

    POKE IS LIFE!!!! I…read moreremember the first time i ever had poke, and it was life altering. I always liked eating the occasional sashimi here and there, but it wasnt until a few years ago that i discovered the magnificence that is poke! Sadly because of that particular spot of eureka, i still consider to be superior above all else and set the rest of them below. This place is good tho. I love their bowl sizes that can vary so that i dont have to waste anything or overeat, which is usually the case lol. So i was able to get a small portion of 3 meats, which was tuna, spicy tuna, and shrimp. I absolutely ADORE tuna so i usually cant resist its chunky, hearty goodness. I also enjoy a good spring mix/kale base for my poke to be as healthy as possible. And im an absolute sucker for mango and edamame when it comes to pairing sashimi type cuts. So i threw that in, plus avocado, plus fried onions. Dont judge me! I know that is crap but i love onions! Lol Didnt have their poke 3 dressing of all things tho. So that was kind of a let down. I settled for their citrus ponzu which was good. Super fast and super friendly staff! Not to bad of a price for 3 protein choices so im extremely happy when they make sure not to skim their scoops of protein with that baby sized spoon of theirs they call a scooper lol

However, on the menu, it says two poke scoops for the number I got, but the scoops weren't regular. They were freaking tiny like baby scoops. One ice cream scoop was bigger than one poke scoop. I understand fresh fish is expensive, but damn, those scoops were little. I'm not over exaggerating at all. Unless the worker used the wrong scooper, I was disappointed, and I got an extra scoop, so the bowl wasn't just full of rice. You can check it out if you want, but don't expect the scoops to be regular scoops. If you're a poke lover, be prepared to pay additional for the tiny scoops or find another poke place in town and then compare it to this one. Maybe the tiny poke scoop is consistent around town. Let me know.

The employees were very nice, but they were definitely overwhelmed. It's just not practical to make fast food sushi unless you have a lot of extra employees just focusing on one thing. All the employees were doing everything. Checking people out, making orders, stocking. It was weird. It took FOREVER for them to complete orders. The whole counter was a mess and they were not stocked up on anything. I think they need to come up with a better solution to making the orders fast and efficient.
