As someone who loves seafood and sushis, Pokè was something I automatically fell in love with. And I, very successfully, was able to extend my love for Pokè to my husband, who in turn introduced me to this place - Pokè House.
I ordered a to-go medium sized bowl and the quantity of it was terrific, I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I went for the Spicy tuna and Garlic Soy Tuna, and pretty much all the free toppings, which btw, are way too many, including a scoop of Crab Salad. I saw some reviews saying they paid $1 for Crab Salad, which surprised me as it is definitely free. Yes, the Masago and Avocado are for an extra dollar, but I was quite content with the free toppings range they have, including Mango and Pineapples, both of which I love in my pokè bowl.
The sauces to top on are also quite interesting and flavorful, make my tastebuds tickle with joy.
The experience of pokè at Hawaii was something else, and it definitely can't be compared, but this place did very close justice with the flavors and quantity, and I am sure to return for...
Read moreServing raw fish is an art. Food temp must be perfect all the time otherwise you might get sick from it. Point and serve is not a new concept. It allows to deliver food at a fast pace.

You can also add Furikake, Ugo(fresh fingerling sea weed), cucumber, with either avocado or seaweed salad for additional cost. They give you several sauce option that gets tossed in a bowl with your toppings before it garnishes your to-go bowl. It's good. It's delicious. It's worth having...
Read moreI had never had poké before, and I loved my meal here! I read reviews beforehand, some of which said it couldn't compare to authentic poké in Hawaii, but is good for those who don't know what they're missing. I didn't have preconceived notions to compare it to and thought it was wonderful! Filling and delicious!
They give a free scoop of crab salad with each bowl, so don't be surprised or think it will cost extra when they ask if you want some. The spicy aioli was a little too spicy for me, especially on top of spicy tuna (I'm a "mild" person generally, with excursions into a little spicy-ness). Of the fish I tried, salmon was my favorite and I would definitely...
