    Mango Albacore Poke Bowl
    Ryan M.

    The poke at Sweetfin is simply not good. The fish isn't fresh at all, and their preset selections are not very interesting either. As someone that loves poke, I would not recommend if you're looking for some good poke in the Westlake area.

    The portion size is generous, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you truly get your money's worth. The atmosphere is modern, bright, and welcoming, making it a great place to grab a relaxed meal or take something healthy on the go. shoutout to Tyler for being nice and informative about each ingredients.

    Build Your Own B.Y.O.B. - Vegetable Poke Bowl. Where is the rice I asked for? Unfortunately he put way too much chili oil.

    RATING: I generously gave Sweetfin 3 stars because there are healthy options, especially for people who are gluten free or vegan and I like that. The one thing I absolutely love here are the Taro Chips. I could eat 5 bags. The lack of friendly customer service, sanitary issues, incorrect orders, and ingredients that don't taste fresh or ripe, took 2 stars away. FOOD: I have ordered the Veggie Poke BYOB here a few times, however, each time I have received my bowls, they were incorrect or had rock hard mango, overripe avocado, or missing ingredients. The bowls still tasted pretty good and the Taro chips are my favorite. Sadly, they are extremely overpriced for the amount you get. MY LAST VISIT: I received an app credit for a previous experience I had for an incorrect order. I went to use my credit a couple of weeks ago. When I walked in there were two young guys working and two customers. The employees looked at me without saying hello or greeting me. It makes for an awkward experience immediately, because it's such a tiny place, and I'm a fan of friendly customer service. The guy who helped me tended to the dirty register then went directly to make my bowl. As he scooped things, he held his dirty glove under the spoon with drainage holes in it and was literally touching my food. He added half of a half of a tiny avocado to my Large Bowl. When I arrived home I noticed he forgot my white rice. I asked for chili oil on my bowl, but he must have poured about a 1/4 cup in there. END RESULT: I probably won't be coming here again after my experiences. I will however swing by for their Taro Chips on occasion.

    Build your own bowl with yellow tail, salmon, seaweed salad, veggies, and black rice. Delish.

    The food was fresh and delicious! Good poke. The server was not very friendly, which is the reason for the 4 instead of 5, unfortunately. I got the half yellowtail, half salmon poke bowl. All of the fish and ingredients tasted super fresh and were very yummy. Their lime ponzu sauce was especially tasty. The kept/seaweed salad topping was also one of my favorites.

    I enjoyed my poke here! They provide a unique twist on poke - it's not like the typical shops. They have examples of bowls to order or you can make your own. I opted to make my own and really enjoyed it. I did half white rice and half black. The white was a mushier consistency and the black was chewy. I thought they complemented each other well. The fish was fresh as were the toppings. My husband was not a fan of this place and preferred the more typical white rice and salad they have at other poke spots. The service was mediocre. L Overall, I liked my bowl and I would go back... my husband not so much.

    I hate to do this review because the employee was so nice. The food is not good!! I did a build your own salmon bowl with the bamboo rice, salmon, spicy mayo, ponzu sauce, cucumber, edamame and some other toppings. The bamboo rice was mushy and some hard bites like if the rice was not cooked all the way, and the salmon was OK. The other ingredients tasted a little stale like the edamame was too crunchy. Everything was kind of just flavorless. My husband ordered a chicken bowl and the chicken tasted like it was pre-cooked frozen chicken. He tried eating it, but it was horrible. He asked them for his money back because he does not eat raw fish. they did not know how to do that and the manager was not there. So he gave them a bowl back , and it was put in the trash. They did offer to make him something else, but again there was really nothing else for him to eat there. They said they were both new and their manager was not there so they were not sure how to handle the situation. Again, the service was good, but unfortunately, the food is just not there. Maybe try regular white rice, that bamboo rice was just the wrong texture.

    Sriracha tuna poke bowl
    Johnnel L.

    I recently tried a poke bowl that completely exceeded my expectations. The base was fresh and vibrant, with perfectly seasoned sushi rice that held its texture without becoming too sticky. The star of the bowl--fresh ahi tuna--was incredibly tender, clean-tasting, and portioned generously. And the guy Tyler who help us is very nice and very welcoming.

    I really didn't want to write this review, but I feel like I have to warn people about what happened to me here. I ordered a bowl and halfway through eating, I found a big screw inside my food (picture attached). This isn't just a small mistake -- it's an extreme health and safety hazard. I am diabetic, and I had already taken my medicine expecting to eat. If I had accidentally swallowed that screw, it could have caused serious damage and landed me in the hospital. When I brought it up, the situation was handled in a very unprofessional way. There was no genuine concern, no real apology, and no sense of accountability from the owner. For something this dangerous, you would expect the highest level of professionalism, but instead, it felt brushed off. This was disturbing, unacceptable, and dangerous. I don't usually write negative reviews, but in this case I feel it's important to let others know. This is not just about bad service -- it's about basic food safety.

    Yuzu Salmon Poke Bowl with albacore
    Megan A.

    Very hit or miss. I've been here 3 times and 2/3 the salmon was soooo fishy, like inedible fishy and I'm not picky with my poke either. I always get the salmon yuzu bowl with albacore added so same bowl 3 X but the one time it was not fishy it was freakin delicious soooo if you catch them on a good day I'd 10/10 recommend but boy if it's a bad day .. yikeyz. Also, not nearly enough protein - even when you add extra scoops which is a big bummer. The staff is always nice here and it's in great location in the Westlake promenade, cute little spot. Will be back, but will probably only get albacore since the salmon is too riskay :D

    Service was great. Fresh options I almost couldn't decide which one I wanted so I built my own. All ingredients looked bomb ! I'll be back. Tyler was running the show and totally helped me out with his favorites . Tasted amazing

    I really like Sweetfin poke in Westlake. I've been here twice now and both times were great. I first found this spot when they hosted a yelp event here to allow local yelpers to try their signature bowls. I loved that experience so much I came back this week. Happy to say the delicious poke and friendly service is consistent. Sweetfin is slightly tucked away in this large shopping center but if you head towards the Barnes and Nobles bookstore then you'll find it no problem. There is plenty of parking so getting in and out for a to go bowl of poke is easy. The establishment itself is small inside but perfect for navigating a quick order and taking your poke to go. There are a few tables outside to dine which is nice but both times I took my poke home. Inside the business is very clean and they keep it nice and cool. Refreshing to step inside here on a hot summer day. The menu board is pretty big and clear, easy to follow. As I mentioned earlier the staff are really nice here. Friendly and they listening attentively to your order to help you pack a fresh and perfect poke bowl. They get you in and out quick but don't make you feel rushed. The quality of the fish and ingredients here are premium. I prefer this place for the quality but I guess in theory there are cheaper spots around with slightly bigger portions but for someone like we who is a poke addict, I'm getting more picky and wanting fresher ingredients that this spot always is a win. Also pricing is average, not bad. I usually can walk our spending about $15 for a regular bowl. I'm in love with their signature ahi tuna bowl. It's the freshness of the fish, the crunch from the bean sprouts and seaweed salad that make this a yummy dish. Avocado is served generously in this bowl and the sauce that comes on the signature ahi is so tasty, I always get a bit extra. 5/5 for the poke here and I'm happy to find a place that really showcases its ingredients. Only upgrade I would suggest is more drink options? I came on a Monday for an early dinner. They only had boxed water and two seltzer soda water type cans. Would be nice for a little more variety but not a deal breaker, just an observation. Love me some Sweetfin and can't wait to come back!

    Truffled Yuzu Albacore Poke Bowl
    Alyssa A.

    I've been to the Promenade many times but have somehow never made it here. But I was super excited to finally make a trip out and try this delicious poke restaurant. I tried the Truffled Yuzu Albacore bowl. Super excited because it had some of my favorites - truffle, mushrooms, and albacore. I picked the Citrus Kale Salad as the base. Incredible! It was light and refreshing, the fish was super fresh, and the kale salad was the perfect compliment to tie it all together. Can't wait to come back to both have it again and try more of their menu! There's a wonderful outdoor seating area right in front that, with good weather, is perfect for eating. And doggos can be in the outdoor area, so it's great to bring your furry friend. Right now they have some construction going on in front of the restaurant, but they're still open behind it and worth the stop!

    I think this place may be my new favorite restaurant…read more My friend and I walked in on a Friday night at 6:30 PM, with no reservations. The place was packed, but I have to assume we got really lucky because we got seated right away at an open table near the front. Our server greeted us immediately and brought us waters for the table. We were overwhelmed initially by the menu options because everything sounded incredible. We asked our waitress what she recommended, and she said literally everything on the menu is amazing - nothing is bad and every dish is popular. So I was quite impressed to hear that. My friend and I decided to get the steak tartare, woodfire grilled octopus, fried gnocchi, and chicken liver pate. Every single dish was actually incredible. The chicken liver pate came with four slices of toast, some pickled vegetables and ground mustard. The pate was creamy, rich, slightly on the sweeter side, so it paired perfectly with the tang from the ground mustard & pickled vegetables. The woodfire grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. Seriously the best, freshest octopus I've ever had! It wasn't chewy or fishy at all. The texture was absolutely perfect. It was very easy to cut into and juicy. It was paired perfectly with the aïoli as well. The steak tartare was extremely fresh. One of the things that I hate about steak tartare at restaurants sometimes is it will start to look brown from the meat oxidizing so it doesn't always look as appetizing, but this tartare was still had that vibrant red color as if they had just cut the meat. Lastly, the fried gnocchi was amazing. It's the first time I've ever had a dish with fried gnocchi. They paired it with a cream sauce that was absolutely delicious. I wish I remembered what was in it, but it was so good. I wanted to drink that sauce lol. Love how the gnocchi was also perfectly seared, had no lumps, and basically melts in your mouth. Overall, loved the ambience of this place as well. It's very hip. trendy. Definitely a louder environment but perfect for a weekend night out to enjoy great food. I would recommend making reservations. I think my friend and I probably just got lucky because we went a little bit earlier on a Friday night. Also wanna mention all of the wait staff was amazing. Food was served very quickly and we had no issues with any of our orders. I seriously cannot wait to come back here and try every single thing on the menu!
