I stumbled upon this gem today completely by accident after trying to find it for months. :-) I highly recommend this eatery....the tuna poke bowls that i ordered were absolutely stunning to look at and a marvel on my tastebuds. :-) It is fair to say that it was the best poke bowls i have ever eaten. :-) Kevin and his crew are over the top friendly and I definitely can't wait to go back to enjoy some more amazing food. :-) Keep up the good work guys. :-) See you sooner...
