This was nearly $20.  The box is approximately 5" by 6" and before the weight of it was impressive.  My husband is still hungry.

I am so very disappointed at the changes. We could not wait for you to reopen and today was our first day back. Now I will say that my opinion is mine and as a business owner you choose what you do. Had I not been a faithful regular I would not be able to compare past and present. I want to start positive and service was great and staff was pleasant. We normally purchased two bowls. My husband would get a large with an extra protein and I would get a small. Now, there is one size with 3 scoops and the serving size was smaller. I did not order a bowl as I was not paying $15+ for something I cannot finish. He ordered an extra protein and received four shrimp. My hubby tried to order what he got in the past and we kept hearing, "that will cost extra!" If you want extras such as tsesame salad , ginger or edamame you will hear" that will cost extra!" . We purchased two BB Sliders and they were nothing special. The store is smaller and I do not know if we will go back. I am so sad.

I've been a customer of Poke Beach for a very long time, and look forward to grabbing a bowl there on lunch. It's always my favorite treat. Great staff, amazing food, and the bowls are perfect. However, they just reopened from their remodel and sadly it seems to have changed for the worse. Now the focus has shifted to their sliders and fried food, and it seems poke bowls have fallen by the wayside. The poke menu has been simplified, and a lot of options removed. Regardless, I ordered my standard poke bowl, which was always plenty of food and excellent. It comes in around $20, before tip. I was shocked to see that the bowl was mostly rice, and there was hardly any protein. I attached pictures for reference. Even after moving the protein, it was just rice beneath it, and the total amount of protein was just disappointing.

My experience at pike beach is usually pretty positive. The staff is patient and kind, the dining room is clean and I love their self serve bar for soy sauce etc. they recently added burger sliders to the menu and some other items but I can only speak to their poke at the time of writing. The fish quality is hit or miss. This last time I went in the salmon looked unfamiliar. I got crab and tuna instead and it was great! Still a great choice for clean eating in carson. I like to get a great serving a veggies through poke!

Nice little joint. We went for a swim at the Carson Aquatic Facility and were on our way to the hot springs and wanted to grab a bite. After seeing unhealthy fast food places everywhere and pizza signs flashing, we saw Poke Beach. U-turn! The girls working were really friendly and overall had a great vibe. We customized our bowls and sat by the window to eat. Everything was super fresh and bright. Perfect little drive-by snack if you're hungry but not starving.

I wasn't sure what to expect with freshness and quality of ingredients but I was pleasantly surprised. This place was very clean inside, plenty of ingredients to choose from with friendly staff. I would have given five stars if the rice had more flavor. For poke bowls, having sushi rice with a vinegar mixture is what other places offer rather than plain rice. I ordered a medium bowl and it was a lot of food. For protein, I chose tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, real crab (extra $2.50 but worth it). Lots of sauces to pick from and I don't think there is a bad choice regardless of which sauce(s) is selected. The additional ingredients are plentiful and they are generous with the amount they give you so if you want more of a particular ingredient, just let them know. Great poke bowl with fresh ingredients. Would visit again if I am in the area.

Very happy to find this. Ordered a medium and it was chock full of fish as I had ordered. Tasted great. I'm even putting 5 stars despite that my order was delivered and I had received the incorrect order. Fortunately DoorDash made it right and I ended up with my actual poke!

I was at the Starbucks then I saw this poke beach. I was craving for some poke also. Didn't really wanna go to Reno that day, and also didn't want to go to poke by the Topsy Lane due their skimpiness for toppings. I ordered one medium bowl and it was 4 scoops of protein of your choice. I chose salmon and spicy tuna with white rice. Toppings were fried onion, fried garlic, corn, seaweed flakes, jalapeños, tobiko, spicy imitation crab. The sauce were spicy mayo, spicy shoyu, ponzu. Portion was huge! Toppings were great especially those fried garlic, very yummy and crunchy. There's some other stuff for add ons that needs additional charges. They've other choices of bowls like signature bowls ( senator bowl, house bowl etc ). I was quite satisfied with this poke. Service was also great, very friendly. I will definitely be back for another bowl of poke!!

I love the seaweed on the poke bowl!

Came here on a Saturday since I had work in Carson City. My co worker and I were hungry for sushi, but didn't have the time to sit down at a restaurant. Decided our next best option--Poke Bowl! This was my first visit here and I was very delighted to see that the take out was boxed in sustainable paper packaging. I order 1/2 brown rice and spring mix with tuna and salmon. My coworker ordered salmon and tofu all on spring mjx salad. Both bowls were loaded to the max and I really liked the Shoyu sauce on mine. I am a traditionalist and don't vary much from what I usually put on my bowl. My friend is a little more adventurous and got a balsamic vinaigrette with hers. She said it was really good. They even offered a sweeter balsamic glaze if you prefer, which is different from other poke places. We really enjoyed our lunch and I had to save 1/2 of mine because it was so large.

I enjoy getting poke bowls from Loco Ono. They have a variety of sizes that you can get, and for me…read morethe smallest one with one protein works great. I also like that you can get rice and the wonton chips versus picking only one as your base. It is the counter style where you choose different things that you want on your Poke bowl. There are a few ingredients like avocado that has the upcharge, but in general, it has less than other places. I personally like the crab and seaweed salad on mine, which isn't everywhere. Ingredients have tasted fresh the times I have ordered bowls. Staff is helpful at asking specific things you want and circling back if you may have missed one of the categories. I usually take mine to go but there is a fair amount of seating to have the food there.

The day of our visit Id enjoy their Chicken Katsu with Curry and Fritzie had a Mixed plate with Garlic Chicken and Katsu. I forgot about their garlic chicken. Their garlic chicken is so good. Each bite was crispy, savory and delicious. On this visit there was something off about their dipping sauce they served with the Katsu. It didn't have that usual smooth flavor. It was slightly more acidic. The curry made better for dipping. The service was quick and despite Fritzie W. changing her mind on a few items, they were still patient and courteous. The restaurant is laid back, and a few patrons eating inside appeared content enjoying their meals. The restaurant seating is basic, seats aren't luxurious or entirely too comfortable but for a quick bite on a week day, you can't complain or shouldn't...only enjoy.

We were staying at the Marriott in Heavenly Village. When our Uber driver dropped us off at the…read morehotel, he recommended we try Kalani's, which is just a 5-minute walk away. So we tried it out the first night of our stay. It's a Hawaiian restaurant, and while we don't eat sushi, we always find great options at places like this. We had a great outdoor table, and the weather was perfect. Their signature cocktail is the Mai-Tai, so we ordered a couple, and they were perfect. I had the halibut, and my wife, a vegetarian, had the tofu steak with garden vegetables. My wife loved her entree, and I think this was the best halibut I've ever had. The cheesecake dessert was also fantastic. Beyond the great food, we had excellent service, too. Overall, a great experience, and we plan on going back every time we are in South Lake.

But I did pull a few prices from their reg dinner menu I had while I was there. The reg price for the fries I believe are for normal fries, so the garlic ones may have been a lil more. HH is in the lounge / bar area only, so we grabbed two seats at the bar. It wasn't very busy when we got here. HH cocktails were nice and strong, so definitely up my alley. Typically I find mai tais and margaritas a too sweet for my liking, but these were not. Food wise, I enjoyed the soup and salad. I did ask for the blue cheese on the side for the wedge so I could share with the hubby, but he said I could have all of it, so we didn't say anything. He doesn't like stinky cheeses and I adore a good salad. I chowder was creamy and comforting. The bartender was very sweet. He was the only one fulfilling drink orders, so beverages could take some time. But just pretend it's island time and all is good. Plus, we weren't in a rush or anything. Great spot for HH. You can get your drink on for a decent price. REVIEW #4051

We ordered Lumpia: these ain't the Shanghai ones that most people see, and I appreciate it very much! Full of meat and veggies, it comes crispy with a soy dipping sauce. Loco Moco Bowl: nice and thick brown gravy smother this bowl with a perfect over easy egg and 2 beef patties, all over some nice steamed short grain. Kids Mac n cheese: a staple in our kids diet right now, this was a very good sized portion and it cut the heat great from our spicy wings. Speaking of... Spicy peach habañero bbq wings: amazing flavor! Very bold with the heat, and the sweet was a great addition in trying to scarf down the full order. Not for the faint of heart!

We walked in for a weekday lunch and were greeted by the host. As we were the only diners, she said choose any table. In the beginning, she was very present (maybe a bit too much) and after bringing drinks and giving us a few minutes to consider the menu, she disappeared for quite some time. When she emerged from the back she resumed her seat at the host stand and we had to flag her down to get her to come and take the order. This pattern sadly repeated throughout the meal, having to get her attention for water, items needed for the table, to order dessert etc. On top of that, the bar was staffed but empty during most of our time there, yet the bartender wasn't even looking in the direction of the tables. I ordered the Hawaiian meatballs, which were accurately described as two large meatballs over rice and quite a sizable portion, served with choice of two sides, which I had white rice and a salad. The meatball sauce was like a more savory teriyaki and it seemed the meatballs were cooked in a nice brown beef type gravy too. The side salad was quite impressive as well, and a portion big enough to eat throughout the meal. The salmon bowl my wife had was really great too. These entrees are the clear winner. The biggest letdown wer the poke nachos. In theory these sound great but the portion of poke is so small that it ends up being some tortilla chips with pico de gallo on them and then a small group of cut up tuna. For the price I expected quite a bit more. While the quality of the tuna was good, the portion was just far too small. We also had the Dole Whip. A delicious taste of nostalgia, but for the price, this could be a lot more generous and an item that could go instantly viral for the restaurant if done right. All in all, good, but four is a generous rating. It's a nice addition to the area and one I'll certainly revisit, but it has left me wanting a bit more.

There is quite a bit of seating outside on the patio with some cute string lights. The menu offers smoked meats, sandwiches, and appetizers to share.

Pulled pork grilled cheese with pepperjack- The pork is smokey and tender. The flavor is great on its own but if you wish for more bbq sauce, its pairs well with the spicy bbq. The pepperjack is melty and savory. The sourdough is toasted and holds up well. All in all, this was a delicious sandwich and would recommend. French fries - one word. Sensational. Crispy on the outside, potato-y interior. Pairs well with the BBQ sauce. You can upgrade your side of chili to fries for an extra cost which is worth it in my opinion. Cornbread- Awful, tasteless and incredibly dry. Skip it. Great service, fantastic BBQ sauces, and tasty meats are reasons to come back here. This is a great spot for big parties or if you have your furry friend with you.
