"Ordered early in the morning for lunch and got a Large Poke Bowl. Maybe I’m just a gluttonous pig, but the portion size was not giving “large.” The food itself was yummy and fresh, but I got slivers of protein and enough rice to feed a small village."
"Tasty poke. Kind of bland with siracha mayo, but got light tasting salmon. Seared albacore was different type of good seared taste. Large bowl is maybe best value for amount of fish. If you get rice only it is a bed of rice in a medium bowl. I would definitely order again and experiment to find right tasting bowl."

"The Small Poke Bowl (2 Proteins is a perfect portion for me personally. This is place is my favorite. Always so flavorful and never disappoints. "
"Large Poke Bowl (4 Proteins): Hawaiian Tuna and Hawaiian Salmon (2 scoops each) are very small cuts of fish compared to other places. I'm not too sure on the other protein options, however I believe the thin layer of rice that it provides (despite it being a large bowl), matches the quantity of protein you actually get. Each piece of the fish looks to be cut 1/4 the size compared to traditional/popular poke bowls."

"Pork Katsu Curry is tasty! The pork katsu is like a crispy pork chop; crunchy on the outside, boneless happiness inside! The medium spicy curry is like Mary Poppins, gentle, stern, and comes out of nowhere. I used it as a dipping sauce for everything. Potato Wrapped Shrimp (3 Pieces) was the best part. It's so beautifully made and yummy. It's like eating a shrimp sandwich wrapped in potatoes... Would eat again. Curry in the morning! Curry in the evening! Curry at suppertime!"
"My comparison would largely be to Coco Ichiban. I feel like this Chicken Katsu Curry was more flavorful, rice was perfectly sticky while not overcooked, and the katsu was nice and fresh and crispy. Probably the best curry I've had. Sausages are great too. Over all it felt maybe more traditional Japanese? But I've never been, so grain of salt and all that. I got enough for two meals, so I'm looking forward to reheating it tonight. Definitely ordering again sometime. I just miss Coco Ichiban's potato croquet!"
