This is a really welcome addition to Balaclava, offering a trinity of good quality poke bowls, maki (sushi) rolls and boba/bubble tea. Bowls are generous and filling, with their signature being raw salmon with fried lotus root slices, mixed leaves, shredded cabbage, soy beans, corn kernels, and a yuzu dressing, on top of sushi rice.
