Update: The last time my wife and I ate here, we both got sick that night. After years of patronage, no more... they've gone downhill.
Original Review:
The poke is almost always good, with some caveats.
• The albacore has been overly fishy about 90% of the time in the past year.

Although it’s a few cities over, the journey to 8oz Poke is...
Read moreLocated in a strip mall off a major street I’ve eaten here a couple of times now and have found it to be pretty good. Walk up and order what you want as you go down the line. They have plenty of options to choose from and the food is pretty good. I choose to have have salmon, tuna, and octopus on top of rice and added a variety of toppings and sauce. Next time I’ll have to add a different sauce as I found the house sauce not have enough flavor for my liking. The people working behind the counter have always been pleasant to deal and have always given good...
