Sweetfin Poke Westlake — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

I am a fan of Sweetfin in general. The food and service at the Santa Monica location and the Woodland Hills location are very good. But this might be the worst Sweetfin. It’s definitely the worst I’ve been to. First of all, it is a very tiny space. There are literally no tables to sit at. They are only doing take away orders. There are tables outside, that are shared by many different eateries in the shopping center, but in my experience it’s either too cold or too hot to eat there (there is no shade) if you can even get a table. Anyway, you build your bowls in a different order at this sweetfin than you do at any other location. Most locations want you to start with the base, but here they want you to start with the protein, and if you just tell them what you want but it’s not in the order they put it together, they frequently get it wrong. The employees I have dealt with there have been cheerful and talkative but not very competent, unfortunately. One girl was having an entire different conversation with a friend on her EarPods while she took my order and was putting it together. The food is fresh, but there’s a good chance your order will not be exactly what you ordered. It’s almost worth driving to the Woodland Hills...

Stopped into this location on my way back from a road trip up north. So excited that there was a location here, my friends and I went in and loved how you can see all the ingredients while the team members build your bowls. I ordered a build your own bowl which I was able to get 2 choices of protein. After that I asked for 1 of their new sauces and my ingredients which all were so fresh. After we finished ordering the lady behind the counter gave us a commentary bag of taro chips since this was my friend’s first time trying poke. We found a nice sitting area outside near a water fountain. We left full and ready to hit the road. Thanks for the refill since our stomachs...

I had the large Salmon Bowl for dinner tonight along with a bag of You’re a Catch chips. Everything was very tasty and I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. A large Bowl (about $16) plus chips was plenty for dinner and a midnight snack. The quality of the fish was fantastic, and I was pleased to see that they’re environmentally responsible. They also have lots of vegetarian choices, and everything is 100% gluten free. Sweetfin is between Barnes & Noble and the fountain at the Promenade in Westlake Village. It’s a great location and I’ll definitely be...
