I've never seen anyone here who looks older than 18, which likely explains the poor quality of the food and service. It seems the managers are also quite young, as they blast loud music in the kitchen. I struggled to hear the staff asking me questions and had to keep asking them to repeat themselves—not because they were speaking too quietly, but because the tall redheaded girl working that day cranked up the volume on the show tunes to an unbearable level. It was distracting enough that I overheard her gossiping about a coworker—information I had no interest in. If I wanted a party atmosphere, I'd go to a bar. The obnoxious music gave me a headache, making my return to a 12-hour shift even more unpleasant.

I wasn't very impressed. The poke ingredients were limited, and the scallops were tiny, about the size of beans. I'm unsure about their freshness. While they do give generous portions, I didn't find myself wanting to eat much of what was offered. It seems like not many people come here.

We arrived around 5 PM, and since they close at 6 PM, I can understand they might limit their daily preparation. I've been to other locations and the experience has been similar. Overall, the food was delicious and definitely worth the price! It's conveniently located near my workplace in South Lake Union, so I will likely return again in the future. Mmm!

The tuna and salmon were good but the spicy tuna was a mistake, I should have realized that it was the mashed tuna instead of the chunks. While I didn't like that part, everything else was pretty average.
