Wow... where to start...When I walked in, the place was immaculately clean. I was greeted by about 5 "Hello"s when I walked in, even from the kitchen. I had never been here before, so I was unsure how it all worked. The wonderful young lady waiting on me, was so kind and explained it all to me. She let me try a few samples of things I was not sure of, and the smile never left her face. She handed me off to another young man there... he was just as amazing. Ok, that's just the staff. Now the food..... holy wowzzers, it was A-Maze-ing. I ordered a large, with came 4 scoops of protein, and it was enough for 2 meals. All the ingredients were fresh and as I stated above, the store itself was so clean, I was impressed. I also ordered a Thai Tea, which was fabulous, and the Gentlemen that brought it up to the counter was so sweet. Just like the whole staff, kind and smiling. I think it will be a place of frequency...Check it out... I believe you will be...

We all got the poke bowls and essentially made our own. One thing that we really liked was that you are charged small, medium or large, and that simply refers to. the amount of protein that you get in your bowl. A small is two scoops, a medium is three, and a large is four. then you can add in whichever base you want or a combination, be a white rice, brown rice, kale, spring mix, or Romain. There are so many delicious veggies, and crunchies and sauce sauces – the sauces have suggestions for combinations that work really well together.
They were so delicious and the young woman working behind the counter was extremely helpful, especially as we hadn’t been to a restaurant like this before. What’s more, even though we came on a busy Friday evening,she actually remembered us and remembered my wife’s order when we came back on Sunday....
Read moreWe were so excited to them to open and we went the first week they opened. The place is clean and decorated well, staff is very friendly. Hard to find a place offering fresh, healthy food in Venice so we were glad there’s another option now.
I lived in Hawaii where poke is life. It’s nice to see it here in Florida although this is different from how poke is eaten in Hawaii. Poke is also sold by weight there. We’ve been 3 times and I don’t have a grasp of their portion sizes for the fish.. my husband got large third time around and his bowl looked almost identical to mine and I got a small. However, the portion for unagi (eel) was reasonable.
I wanted my rice mixed with greens like they do in other bowl places so I requested that instead of getting all rice as the base.
The sauces were creative and delicious. Felt that kick from the wasabi with ponzu sauce.
Overall, this is a new way to experience poke that is...
