I was really excited to hear there was a poke place coming to West Sac. Unfortunately I was super disappointed after my first (and last) visit.
First off, they have the imitation crab listed as "crab meat." When I asked if it was "actual" crab meat, I was told it wasn't (if it's imitation crab meat, you need to label it as such!) When I asked what type of meat it was, I was told "imitation crab." I laughed and said that I understood it wasn't real crab, but wanted to know what type of fish it was. Of course, not one of the employees could answer that question. So, I guess I wasn't surprised when none of them could tell me if the salmon, tuna or yellowtail was farm raised or wild caught. Overall, it made me question if the salmon was actually salmon, the tuna actually tuna, etc.
This place is nothing more than the Subway Sandwiches of seafood. It's simply a fast food joint dressed up to be a healthier alternative to McDonald's. It is a great concept, but unfortunately executed with very cheap and low-quality ingredients.
Giving two stars because although the staff was clueless about the food, they were nice, the place was clean, and the food wasn't horrible. And yes, it's probably a healthier alternative...

I also gor the two toppings newr the register - fried onions ans seaweed. All mixed together, it waa delicious! I was completely shocked. Guess I didn't know what to expect. Everything was...
Read moreMy absolute favorite poke place in the greater- Sacramento area, and I've been to a lot of poke places in the area. The quality and freshness of the food is always exceptional, great sauce options. Staff are well-trained and generous. Value you get is excellent when you take into account the amount of food you receive for the price. Only slight downside is that they no longer have sliced avocado, the have as mashed avocado option which includes other ingredients, making it into more of a guacamole. The avocado mash does taste good, I'd just prefer pure and simple...
