Pretty solid spot for sushi burritos and bowls. You order at the counter, watch them prep then pay at the end of the line (ala Subway/Jersey Mike's). There was a small line during prime lunch hour but moved pretty fast. There's a small outdoor patio and fairly sizable indoor seats.
I opted for the Redondo Beach served as a bowl split between brown rice & salad for the base. The Redondo has three types of fish (Ahi, Yellowtail and Salmon) with poke sauce & wasabi mayo along with cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, massago, and wonton strips. Once in-hand I had to do a lot of doctoring...
There was hardly no poke sauce and I never found the wasabi mayo. The jalapeno was nonexistent too but luckily so as I don't think it was needed. I think I had maybe two pieces of arugula? So I got a side of extra poke sauce, some reduced sodium soy sauce and wasabi paste packets. Once I could mix it all around I finally had a tasty poke bowl.
I wasn't a fan of the cucumber salad. It was basically big hunks of a plain cucumber (not English) with a little rice vinegar thrown on just before serving.
Overall it was fine and about what you'd expect for a pole bowl on the Strip ($20). Next time I'll go Redondo, no raw red onion (was overpowering), no jalapeno, more salad,...
Read moreThis place was really just something I stumbled upon. I wanted to eat something healthy and so I got lucky. Every other joint on this strip is all essentially a bar, a burger joint, dessert or alcohol. I needed something quick and that work upset my stomach. I ordered the Venice. It was more of a safe dish. It contained chopped lettuce, pico de gallo, sliced cucumbers, black beans and corn, avocado slices, tofu ( or a steak tofu ), sole kind of red chili sauce that was spicy and sweet, white rice ( could have ordered brown rice) and I got it in a bowl. I could have had it as a burrito. A bowl seemed more manageable and I could always put it up if I had left overs. ( I did ) It was all really great! Quick healthy alternative. The place was great, it was clean and my food took about 4 minutes to be made. This restaurant was not as busy as everyone else was on the strip so perhaps it was an off night for them. The concept is really great, it’s a Japanese twist to places like...
Read moreOh, wow. That place is not AAPI friendly and not disability friendly either. All the workers are actually making fun of customers from what I observe in their body language, I studied body language. and they charging them extra without knowing it. Watch out for the price, seems impossible like make it combo for $3 but no she charged you extra more and more. And waited like forever. And she lied to me, “Oh, I accidentally clicked the wrong one” clearly she’s playing game. And she tested on your patience like when someone wondered why took so long. And she laughed it off with the workers.
Used to be better few years ago, different workers like Asian guy used to work there.
Oh, the white taller guy (clean up the table) he’s acting very weird, weird vibes.
Oh, don’t tip the JARS!. They’re gross in their attitudes!. You really think they’re friendly? (BS!) How can you think they’re friendly but the food and drink!. Something is very wrong in there. They’re not...
