Pick N' Roll — Restaurant in Four Corners States

2021-05-11 Still excellent! Super high quality and large portions and very inexpensive. You don't have to compromise here. We easily feed two adults for under $11.00. .... 2019.10.09 approx 7 mths later. I have been back many times since my original. My experience has remained excellent on every visit. You really owe it to yourself to go there andpick up a fantastic meal to enjoy at home for a ridiculously inexpensive price. I love this place, and I think you will too! ......

Note: I have included a basic recipe at the bottom of this review to get you started.

I haven't written review in quite a while, but this it's so over-the-top good that I had to write a review.

First, it's important to know what this place isn't. It's not a sushi bar, it's not a poke place, and it's not a regular restaurant.

Now for what it is. It is primarily a takeout place where you come in and choose from a series of items that creates a custom dish of your making. It's not terribly unlike many other semi assembly line restaurants in concept, for example Chipotle's or Subway. However, it is vastly different in the type of ingredients.

The ingredients tend to be very Japanese / Hawaiian / Korean. And they are very high quality ingredients. Not only are the ingredients high-quality, but the portions are really generous. My wife and I shared a 2 protein dinner, and we were both well fed.

The young Korean man who we spoke with twice on different occasions, was extremely personable. His name is Sang Min Park, and I believe he is the manager of the place.

They are open from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. 6 days a week and closed on Sundays.

STARTER RECIPE: If you like poke, then you will probably like this recipe. I put it together out of my head, and I don't know how to make poke, but it satisfied my craving for poke.

Purple rice, purple cabbage, kimchi, cucumber, pickled ginger, avocado, marinated tuna (two servings,) dried seaweed, sichimi powder, poke sauce

I'm not done reviewing this place yet. No need to wait for me however, jump in and go enjoy what this place...

Really solid poke place! What immediately jumped out to me was that there are a few different options at this location than other similar poke places.

It's a smaller store though, there's outside seating but only a few tables inside. They have a grab n go area to the left as you enter, which has premade selections/rolls and beverages. To the right is where you can make your poke bowl. They have cups and water readily available next to the grab n go area which is nice.

The purple rice immediately caught my eye. Score! I love this stuff and haven't seen it at any other poke place I've been to yet. Amazing. I will say though you can either get purple rice or salad. Those are your only two base choices.

They also have eel sauce (among a pretty large collection of sauces in general) which is my favorite. They have a good selection of toppings, some which are absent at other places (red cabbage, spicy and regular crab salad, carrot).

The portion sizes are absolutely worth the value. They have two sizes: plenty (2 scoops) and Godzilla (3 scoops). I got the plenty size and it was a LOT of food. I went with tuna and salmon, cucumber, seaweed salad, crab salad, red onion, masago and carrot. I topped it with eel sauce and a little bit of spicy mayo. It was a really good bowl, great flavor and I almost couldn't finish it (and I can eat a lot).

Service was friendly. I noticed most people were getting their food to go for what it's worth. I'd sit outside during the winter months for sure though. My total for my bowl alone was just under $11.

Overall I would highly recommend, especially if you've never had purple rice or like a larger variety...

i tried ordering online and it was 30 mins to closing and their online portal wouldnt let me order anymore. So i tried calling at 8:35 and no one would answer my call. i tried again assuming they mightve been busy and still no response. the next day i ordered a bunch of food from them and hour before closing (i get it im that customer, but i still tipped well and tried to hurry bc i was working past their close time nearby) and they forgot my ramen. ive already emailed and have been waiting on a response for my refund. still no reply. very disappointed. ive worked in the food industry and understand closing you gotta hurry up bc you wanna get out of there, but at least make sure the order is right come on now.

EDIT: they said there was a misunderstanding bc they didnt see it on the order. its on the receipt. they have only reached out to me now bc i left a bad review now. dont even care about my refund. will not be recommending anymore to my...
