    Ugly long black hair!!!!!! Have you heard of hair nets and cleanliness???
    Esbeida G.

    Spoke with James and can you believe he wanted me to take in my bowl so I can show him the long hair I found in the bowl. I specifically told him what I found and he questioned the hair!!!! How can we keep a bowl , if I'm already going to work!!!!!!! You want me to take a bowl and keep it in my fridge and grow mold How can someone enjoy their food with a hair in it!!!!!!! Come on JAMES!!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Do you guys wear hair nets in the back???? Thought you guys were clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know James, economy is so bad right now so for me to spend my money and try to enjoy my meal and find a hair in it, is tremendously discouraging and disgusting!!!!!!! Who can eat something after someone else's hair is in it, or any hair .....period! I'm sure you wouldn't want any bar on your food you are about to take a bite into.

    Look at my bowl; hands down, this is my favorite go-to lunch spot. It is quite pricey, however, it's raw fish and veggies, so I will pay. This is the size regular bowl, which comes with 3 scoops of protein, half rice/half greens, and whatever toppings you want (I get tuna, spicy mayo, garlic/onion, edamame, etc...). This, plus a regular size fountain drink, cost me just under $20. The service is quick and convenient, like any other fast casual restaurant, as you order through a line and it goes fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is ample seating inside and outside, and a big parking lot as well, with other restaurants nearby such as Starbucks, a pizza joint, and a sandwich spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've come to Simply Poke multiple times for lunch, and I will continue to do so. :)

    BEST POKE I've had in a long time. I've been coming here once a week since the time I first tried it and the lady is super sweet.

    This place was empty I came in, but I was greeted immediately when I walked in. The serving size for the actual fish scoops were pretty small compared to other places, and the amount of spicy mayo was more than it should have been. Other than that the bowl was good, not able to finish the whole bowl due to the drenched last bites in mayo. Next time, I'll get the spicy mayo on the side!

    Salmon, Shrimp, Spicy Tuna, and Scallops.  Lava sauce, Spicy Mayo, and Ponzu.

    Perhaps one of my favorite experiences with food recently, Simply Poke was wonderful from the moment I stepped in to the last bite of my bowl. The staff greeted me immediately upon entry and provided quick and efficient service. I ordered a large bowl (you get four choices of fish) with salmon, spicy tuna, scallops, and shrimp. As an avid fan of spicy food, I had to try their lava sauce mixed with some ponzu and spicy mayo. Perfect level of heat that lived up to its name. Nothing intolerable but it provided that dry heat perfect for a quick lunch. The fish was definitely the highlight. Salmon was fresh and fatty. The shrimp was sweet and perfectly prepared. Spicy tuna was bright with flavor and the scallops were nice and juicy. I honestly rarely try new poke spots because I'm picky with fish but you will definitely find me returning to Simply Poke for another bowl.

    Wow, came here after the gym on a whim and it did not disappoint. I walked in and asked the ladies working if they had Apple Pay to which they sweetly responded yes #convenient. I told them it was my first time and they were so kind and helpful it really made my day. The quality of everything looked so delicious and I'm typically skeptical about ordering salmon or tuna if It looks odd but their fish looked SOOO fresh (I got both). My favorite thing was the portion size, I thought it was perfect. 10/10 will be going back here! keep up the amazing work ladies!

    Their regular bowl comes out to about $10 and their large comes out to $11ish so it's affordable and very filling.

    The hype is actually justified. I've been seeing this spot on my FYP and throughout my socials…read more Luckily, I was in the area and headed off to check this spot out. There is a parking lot in the back along with a back entrance as well. The marketplace itself is pretty cramped, but has a sashimi spot in the back and rolls, nigiri, and snacks near the cashier. Be sure to line up in the correct lines and grab a number if you're waiting on sashimi. Fish quality is very good and fresh. Very flavorful and much better than your typical market sushi. Definitely worth a stop for their delicious California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, nigiri, or even their freshly cut sashimi.

    While I prefer the choices at the Koreatown Yama Sushi location more, I still come back to the San…read moreGabriel location on occasion because I don't want to deal with downtown LA traffic. The sushi and sushi rolls are good here. They do offer slightly different rolls and sushi combinations compared to the Koreatown location. I wish that this location offer the Toro and Hamachi rolls like the Koreatown location does. One thing I don't like about this location is their physical setup. The area where you get the sushi from the refrigerator space is very cramped. People are just up and down, left and right. If you get a rude person, they're just plowing through you to get their sushi from the sushi case. I find myself dodging people and often, knocking some of their products off the shelf behind me. Has it stopped me from coming here to get sushi? No. But I do find the setup to be pretty annoying and anxiety provoking.
