They told me that ethe word extra $4 then because it was eel. It was an additional $6.. I fully believe that I was over charged and they just didn’t understand what was going on. If you look at the menu it clearly states that the eel burrito is $15.95 then next to it, extra protein $6 but no.. don’t believe that. It’s actually $10.

Unfortunately, I have to say that ordering takeout over the phone is not a good idea here; it's much better to order in person since they often get the order wrong. Today, I ordered two salmon burritos filled only with salmon and avocado, along with a side of sweet mango sauce to go. Even after confirming several times that I didn’t want any other toppings, they packed the burritos with imitation crab. Why would they do that? They also forgot the sauce. On top of that, if you do end up getting toppings, they barely include any fish—just about three-quarters of a scoop for the whole burrito. It feels like they're cutting corners, and before you know it, you've paid $14-15 for rice, imitation crab, mushy avocado, and just a few tiny pieces of salmon. It seems like they're busy enough to feel comfortable doing this, but it's what’s stopping them from becoming a great restaurant, like FOB in Seattle or the Zen sushi burrito spot in Tacoma. If they could focus more on quality, fair portion sizes, and getting orders right, they would have something really special.

The fish tasted fresh, the sauces are so good, the rice was cooked well. Hands down good poké and karage!

I frequently picked up food for myself and my girlfriend on Sunday nights after work, and I always recommended it as a fantastic, budget-friendly option for high-quality poke. However, they've raised their prices multiple times—first by $2, then another dollar, and then two more. The cost increased from under $15 for a bowl with three proteins and four toppings to $19 for a bowl with three proteins and three toppings. Just the other day, I ordered three large bowls and two milk teas, and my total was $80, which would have been $10 to $15 less just six months ago. The food is still delicious, and I enjoy eating here, but I've found other poke places with better prices.

The fish was extraordinarily fresh, the sauces were excellent, and the rice was cooked to perfection. This place truly offers some of the best poké and karaage you'll find!
