“Yes!
It's fresh, quality food at an affordable price.
Great, casual, t shirt and jeans spot for a date, families, tourists, work lunch, etc.
When you walk in, right off the back, everything is extremely well taken care of. The place is spotless, tables and chairs neatly placed. You get a sense of how structured and organized it is.
On this occasion, I was greeted by the two "kids" working behind the counter with a smile and a hello. Bonus points there. They were really friendly at walking me through the ordering procedure. And it is pretty simple once you place your first order. They'll walk you through the process.
I highly recommend the Hawaiian tuna and the regular tuna. But the salmon is also fresh as well! Can't go wrong there either.
An oddball was the scallops marinated in mayonnaise. Maybe a little too much mayonnaise, management if you're paying attention. But worth a shot as one of your proteins if you want to try something different.
I still give this place, the service come of the food 5 stars. The only thing that I would like to see changed is the 50 Cent extra charge for the eel sauce. I mean come on come on? 50 cents? I guess it is what it is. But it would be nice if it was included as one of the normal sauces offered had no extra charge.
Just to quickly summarize the food here. It's delicious! It's everything you expect in a poke Bowl. I think the real value is getting the monster size, where you get to pick five proteins. The serving size of each spoonful is definitely more than what you get at other places.
Also, I went with the brown rice this time, and it was extremely well made. Nice chew to it, not overcooked, not salty at all. It tasted magnificent with a nice nutty flavor against the fresh Hawaiian tuna, and all the other toppings I threw on my order.
The edamame is fresh, brightly colored, the seaweed salad wasn't too overly sweet, and I have to highlight the Masago and Ginger being brite, fresh and tasty.
Parking: piece of cake, especially on a afternoon. Lots of free parking all around.
Just keep an eye out for an occasional homeless guy walking through. Where don't you find the homeless these days, right?
When I come here late at night, probably not. Just because of that one homeless person, or two. But during the day, mid-morning through about early afternoon, you should be fine.
The only other odd thing about this place is that it faces due west. So in the late afternoon, that sun is so strong about an hour or two before sunset. So eating outside can get interesting if you don't mind being in direct sunlight. There are no umbrellas, very little shade at all.
I will definitely be back here. One main thing I would love to see happen is if this place opened up a second location, or moved entirely to maybe a different spot like at the commons, the Topanga social, or maybe the Topanga village. But they have to keep the prices as is.
In summary, what makes this place great is that it's good quality food, made to order, at an affordable price. If the pricing goes up, you lose the essence of what this place is.”
