Hawaii Poke Bowl II — Restaurant in New York

so YESTERDAY, I ordered a bowl with a drink, but for some reason things ran a lot differently. while ordering, I had a male employee, he was so unpolite to me which did not make me feel comfortable at all. the meal took a long time to make. it usually doesn't take long for a simple bowl. when I finally got my bowl and drink, everything looked messy. the salmon I ordered with my bowl did NOT look like salmon. It looked diseased and I didn't even enjoy it. there were also some white little things in the food.... I saw the workers scratching his head. I don't know what this is but I can tell they need hairnets in here. and the drink that I ordered? I ordered a hot bubble tea with tapioca, but I got nothing in it. and the drink wasn't even hot. they messed up my order. I'm finally home now, and I feel like I have food poisoning. it was probably those disgusting salmon chunks and dandruff they threw onto the bowl. this place deserves worse than a 1 star.. I might even have to call out work tomorrow...

Ordered for pick-up. Portion size was good and the store was clean so I'm giving 3 stars, but the food itself was very mediocre. The flavor was very bland and they got one of our orders incorrect (gave toppings we did not ask for). There was not enough sauce or fish so there was a lack of seasoning overall, which was most noticeable with the bowl for which we ordered regular salmon for protein and lemon ponzu and sesame shoyu for the sauce (not sure if they forgot to add the sauce or just didn't add enough). I also got zucchini noodles as a base, which was not very good as the taste was boring and it did not help bring all the other ingredients together. Would recommend other people get a rice base instead so that all the ingredients can come together better.

All in all, it's passable if you're not used to eating poke or if you like bland food, but if you know what poke should taste like, I'd recommend you go...

I have never been to a poke bowl. For my 1st experience it was great. It was similar to Subway but for bowls. There were many choices, I especially liked the zucchini noodles as a base as opposed to a rice. You were able to fill out a sheet to pick all your options and just hand it into the person behind the counter. That way, they knew exactly what you wanted. The price was reasonable. You were able to put on a lot of different toppings for the price. The menu was very clear on what you get charged extra for, so there were no surprises.. there were some tables if you wanted to dine in, but I prefer to take out. The restaurant itself was very clean behind the counter and where the food was looked very clean. The girls behind the counter were pleasant enough. This definitely was a nice healthy option and a different choice for my daily...
