Found out that my favorite poke place has new owners. I got my usual Gojira 1/2 rice 1/2 salad and was sadly disappointed. Rice was so dry (by the way this was about 2:00). They did not put in as much food as we used to get and it was all warm. Why? I wonder how fresh the fish was. They can say it was fresh but I eat a lot of sushi and poke and it was not great.

Romaine lettuce with spring mix for a base balances the fish out and topping very well and is usually one of my top choices for a base whenever I head out to get some Poke. Second, this place doesnt not add enough sauce period. I can barely taste it and it's always overpowered by the other ingredients. Add the salad base and start adding a little more sauce and this place will be my favorite place to get Poke at in...
