Blue Hawaii Acai­ Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

For something light, but delicious, I chose to go here for the poke bowl. It's located in Embarcadero Two and a bit hard to find the first time around. I chose to order my poke bowl without the kimchi and ginger since I'm not really into that. It's about $8.95 for a regular bowl, I believe. You get a choice of garlic or spicy sauce, or a mix of both. I chose the mix and it was tasty. I also got the lava flow smoothie, which is $7.95. It was really good. I REALLY enjoyed it.

I might give it another try but for the cost and quality it’s...

Two words: Poke bowl.

Rice, sashimi, kimchi, seaweed, mixed with this amazing spicy sauce -- you can do no wrong. I AM LITERALLY HERE EVERY WEEK. The funny thing is that I have a coworker who is here probably more (like, twice a week).

INSIDE JOKE PROTIP: Get the "Renato" - meaning spicy + garlic. However, I'm sure they wouldn't understand you. This is just between my coworkers and I (shoutout to...
