Pure Poke and Prep — Restaurant in Oro Valley

The l only reason I gave 2 stars is because the service was great. The raw tuna was warm and fishier than expected, the “spicy” crab was sweet and not very spicy at all. The tuna was also cut a little too big I didn’t feel like I was getting enough for my money. The rice was too sweet and it didn’t help the taste of the fish.

I went in for the first time recently as it just opened down the street.

It is set up like a Subway where they build your bowl from behind the counter and you choose ingredients. The lady at the counter was super friendly and accommodating when I told her about my food allergy to onion and spinach. She was nice enough to remake a couple ingredients fresh to be sure, as some in the trays may have been in contact with nearby onion.

The portions were massive and the ingredients tasted fresh. I was happy to see they even had some healthy bottled drink options, like kombucha. The only thing I wish, was that they had tamago, but they had a lot of great spice and sauce options. I was happy with my experience and definitely...
