I needed a quick lunch while in the area and decided to try Toro Poke. Staff were very friendly and had my order ready very quickly. I had the Hawaiian bowl with crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoons were fresh and tasted good with plenty of filling. The poke bowl was just ok. I would like to come back and try a different poke bowl. read more

Stopped by for a quick snack. We ordered 2 Zen garden bowls after we were told they were vegan. It was good but not wow amazing. I've had many poké bowls and I'm happy that they had the vegan option on the menu but I wouldn't go out of my way for this if I were in the area. read more

As far as I can see, Toro Poke is now the only Poke place in the area. Did I drive to the mall with the sole intention of getting my lunch here? Yes. I grew up in California so seafood/poke were a big part of my diet. I was sad to see that it is so hard to find here, but this place is very good. They have a lot of option for protein and flavors. The toppings are different from what I'm used to, so I don't use a lot of them, but that's ok. I highly recommend and encourage people to go here so it sticks around! read more

Been coming here every now and again since they opened last year, and I cant believe I havent made a review! First off, after trying a few poke places this place is my fave. I dont ever get any of the signature bowls I always make my own no matter where I go. (brown rice, salmon, tuna, cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame, tofu, topped with nori sesame and poke sauce/yum yum sauce) So this is solely judged on other things like the fact a regular bowl gets me full and its priced well at $9.99. Dont think I can go anywhere else! This weekend marks their anniversary so come by and grab a bowl! -$1 and a free drink on bowls or buy one get one 50%! read more

This is one of the most delicious things I've ever had at the mall. I got Roberts bowl which was full of spicy crab, steamed shrimp, and it was so good! My base was brown rice and besides the proteins there was a bit of corn, pineapple, edamame and cilantro. Topping off the bowl there were two delicious sauces full of flavor.One was bursting with the taste of sesame. I noticed that there was also a vegan option as well as some that had raw salmon or tuna. Chibken was available as well. You also customized by adding toppings. I chose crispy onions and sesame seeds. Yum! Staff were friendly and helpful too. read more

I had seen some friends post their bowls and had to try it for myself. You can pick from the menu or create your own bowl like we decided to. You pick a base, mix ins, protein, and sauces. I usually like mixed greens or zucchini noodles but unfortunately they didnt have either. I had to remind myself not to expect too much because I was in a mall food court but I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. Their sauces were really good! I wanted to try all of them but went with the spicy mayo, mango sauce, wasabi mayo and poke sauce - so yummy!! read more

Located in a mall's food court, you wouldn't expect the poke to be of good quality in comparison to an actual poke joint. Looks are deceiving as I was actually impressed and enjoyed my creation of a bowl. The quality of the poke is great, and I like how they give unlimited toppings instead of limiting to only 2-3. The price for a regular-sized bowl is ~$12 including tax, which isn't too bad compared to other poke places (though it is in a food court). Toro Poke is the closest place that serves poke to me, so I will be returning whenever I'm craving this Hawaiian staple. read more

I got the regular bowl with white rice, cucumbers, jalapeños, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, mango sauce, and ginger. I added some siracha sauce on it as well just for a bit more heat. Overall it was pretty good although a bit pricey for my taste. I kight have given 5 stars but the biggest turnoff for me was that a cup of water costed 50 cents. I dont think I've ever paid for a cup of water anywhere. Also the worker was very nice and polite and let me sample the sauces without even asking. read more

It's hard to rate a mall poké place against others as though you're looking for fine dining in between a Dillard's and a Bath and Body Works. But, that's what I'm here to do, I guess. Can you find better poké places? Absolutely. Can you find a better one in some mall? Probably. But can you find a better one in THIS mall? Absolutely not. So, if you're asking me to rate it against other poké restaurants, Toro Poké gets three stars. If you want to know how it ranks against other poké places in THIS mall? Five stars, would buy again ... if the mood strikes while I'm already here and it is around lunch/dinner time and I'm not craving Chipotle. read more

Pleasantly surprised by a mall food court experience. I was hoping to find a quick semi healthy bite. The Japanese place was crowded so I ventured to toro poke. The young lady behind the counter was SUPER helpful and kind. She made suggestions that were spot on. She also shared that she likes to make the Bowls look good and I can appreciate someone taking pride in her work! The bowl had a great taste. I chose brown rice, a few toppings, spicy tuna and crab and a spicy mayo and a sweet sauce. Was perfect. I am a little shocked to admit I may go back tomorrow! Try something different. read more

Is it the poke best I've ever had? No, but for what they offer/charge this place is solid I stopped at the mall just to try this. I had very quick service. Ordered a Robert's bowl. Sub onion for cucumber, which they did not do, just left out onion. That's my fault as I noticed and did not correct. They give you a large amount of crab. And the shrimp is cleeeean. Not a single one had any sort of digestive track left. I feel the price for the size is great. My only issues....the cilantro was wilted. And the avocado I paid extra for, was pretty brown. Everything else was fresh. They just need to prep those in smaller amounts read more

I was a fan of this place. I use to get it delivered via Uber eats until decided I'd go and check it for myself. I get there and there is about 8min wait time when there was only one person ahead of me. The person working looked sick and I had to remind them what I order 3 times. I ordered the fire bowl and they advised there would be no avacado. No big deal. When it was time to cash out the said it would be the same price and they weren't willing to lower the price considering there were missing ingredients. Then they also charged me for a cup of water. Very disappointing customer service. The food wasn't as great as usually was. The tuna was tough and very fishy tasting and the bowl was full of mostly rice. I've had good food from this place before but after this experience I'm never going back. read more

The beef pho was very rich in flavor and overall everything was executed well. Another fun thing about this area is the ice cream place next door which had really quality ice cream! Would recommend!

Ika Grill Sushi & Pan Asian

We have eaten at a few different Thai places over the years but once we discovered IKA Grill, we…read morehaven't been anywhere else. We usually sit at the bar and the service is great. They are friendly and the food is amazing. We always start off with the Kun Pun chicken as an appetizer and then the Pad Thai with beef and shrimp. We have also tried other items on the menu such as the Spicy Mongolian Beef and the Kung Pao combo but the Pad Thai is our favorite. We try to eat there at aleast a couple times a month

I tried Ika Grill for the first time with my friend today. We were celebrating her birthday…read more We arrived a little before 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. While we didn't have to wait for a table, almost all of them were full when we arrived. Ika is a smaller space in a strip mall off of 119 in Leewood, so there's not a ton of seating but the restaurant went further back than where we sat so there's probably more room than I could see. The kitchen/sushi bar is right up front when you walk in and takes up a good amount of room toward the front but it's aesthetically pleasing. The decor was very nice and everything was clean. They have a big chalk board near the front door, on the wall with their specials. They have quite a few. The menu is very large and our server came over about 5 minutes after we were seated. We ordered some edamame but asked for some more time to look at the menu. When the edamame came out, we placed our order. We decided to both get a side salad with ginger dressing and share two of their special rolls. We got one of the specials off the board, the Hidden Dragon. It was really good and by far my favorite out of the 2 rolls we got. My friend also really liked this roll and thought it was the better of the two. The other roll we got was the Rainbow which is a California roll topped with various types of fish. Neither of us are big fans of salmon so we asked for it to be left off. I didn't really like this roll. I normally love tuna but I prefer it cut a bit thinner and I'm used to it almost having a butter texture where it melts in your mouth. I'm not sure what was going on but all of the tuna had a very strong flavor and yes, I'll say it was fishy. I realize some people like that but I don't. Maybe it was the Hamachi (yellowtail) but it was not for me. I tried 2 pieces and that was enough. My friend liked it better than me but definitely preferred the Hidden Dragon too. I would probably give them a 3.5 if that was an option because the Hidden Dragon roll was very good. The service was efficient and quick. Not overly friendly. They never even acknowledged my friend's bday even though she was opening gifts and we sat a small birthday pop up paper cake card on the table. Not that we expected anything but maybe just a comment about her birthday. Maybe they were too rushed for anything extra. My disappointment in the tuna on the Rainbow roll is my reason for the lower rating. The rolls are $18 each so getting one I really couldn't eat is unfortunate. They also use the crab salad and not just a piece of crab in their rolls. I prefer the latter because I'm not too fond of all the extra mayo from the crab salad. I missed taking pics of our rolls! The Hidden Dragon looked fantastic and the Rainbow looked better than it tasted, lol. My friend still enjoyed her afternoon birthday lunch! I would possibly try them again to explore something else on the menu since there were so many options but I won't go out of my way to return.

Oh, the glorious pizza bubbles!!!! Grimaldis has become a staple in my life and I plan for it to stay that way.

They also added lemon and orange slices into the drink. A bit more expensive for a 20ish oz at 7$, but they do pay so much attention to their drinks. I believe all bakery items are made in house. The taro crepe cake was just ok. A bit dense and dry. For 130g of cake, it was a 7.39$ slice. If you ask for it to go, they tact on an up charge to package it to go..

You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.
