    Came by for a fresh poke bowl! Love how you can customize the bowl to your liking! The salmon is fresh and delicious with all the toppings you can add to it. Don't be shy with the toppings you can ask as many as you want! Avocado is extra charge. Sign up for their app to get promos! Great spot for a quick meal! Great service and clean place. Indoor seating available.

    Reliable and good poke. It's nothing extravagant or ultra fancy, but Ahi Poke is a consistent and reliable poke restaurant I'll come back to when I have a craving for poke. It's never busy which is a plus. You can order any combo of ingredients that fits your desire or have them make one for you. My 3 protein salad bowl included salmon x3, light house spicy sauce, edamame x2, crab mix, seaweed, sesame, avocado ($), green onion, onion, and cucumbers.

    Sharpie in food
    Reina A.

    This location had clean tables and the staff was helpful. However, the area where they food was being attacked by flies and there was a sharpie in the food see picture. Also, they are extremely short with toppings even the seasonings. It was just unfortunate experience overall wouldn't return to this location.

    Worst rice ever. I can do rice wayyyyy better than this!
    Kiera H.

    We went to this location to have lunch. Long story short. Rice was by far the worst I ever had! I took my bowl to the manager and showed her how bad the rice was. I told her it sticks together almost like mash potatoes. It was unacceptable! She kept making excuses about the rice maker and how it operates and sometimes it comes out a certain way blah, blah, blah.There should be no excuse. The rice is the most important thing that has to be done right! She seemed like she didnt care one bit! I dont think we got our money back because she was clueless on the POS system. She was like you should be getting your money back and gives us a receipt but it didn't say refund, just the ticket where we paid(see below). She never said, ok, I'll have to make new rice or anything. I look back and notice she didnt even change the rice, she was chopping some veggies and went on about her day. I even told her people will complain to you and instead of making poke,she will end up giving refunds all day. Not one care! She is not fit for the job. I took a video but on here only allows pictures but not video, but the video looked alot worse than my picture.Not to mention, not even an hour later, I had really bad stomach ache, you name it, the runs! Not going back here ever again and if I do, is to get our refund! I worked in the food industry and let me tell you, they have the wrong people working behind that counter or they need better rice cookers cause those look like dinosaurs.This is why these franchises don't do well and end up closing.Customers stop coming because food isn't consistent. The care isn't there. I don't think this place will last long. If you want good rice, go elsewhere cause this place is not it!

    Large poke bowl
    misty m.

    Pretty good for Arizona poke! I live out of state and whenever I visit family, I always swing by this place. Portions are nice and large, and there's a good amount of options. The fish quality isn't bad and the workers here are always fast and kind. I also like that there's more pre mixed fish options. I'll be back again!

    3 scoop spam bowl with house spicy sauce and spicy creamy on top
    Betty J.

    Ordered this with doordash and I liked everything except the fact that it was way too salty. That might be my own fault though as I ordered spam + two sauces (one mixed in and one on top). It got to the point where it was hard to finish due to the salt. Next time I will try ordering only one sauce and hopefully that'll fix the problem. Update: Tried with just creamy sauce and it fixed it!

    Nice location, clean and welcoming atmosphere. Right when you walk in you see the guiding menu, and the employees were so welcoming and helpful! I expressed I was not sure how it all worked because it was my first time trying this place out, she explained everything even letting me know what the customer favorites are! The presentation of the bowl was great, as was the great taste!! I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! Crab Salad Poke Bowl Blazing Salmon Spicy Tuna Avocado Sprouts Jalapeño

    I love ahi poke. I haven't tried their GRILLED MENU yet. They have TERIYAKI CHICKEN BOWL For $8.95 and TERIYAKI SALMON BOWL For $11.35 and SPAM MUSUBI $2.75 or 2 for $4.95 and UNAGI BOWL $11.95 and UNAGI MUSUBI For $3.50 or 2 FOR $5.95 They also have MISO for $1.00 with any bowl. First I chose a base: -WHITE RICE -BROWN RICE -KELP NOODLES (haven't tried) -ORGANIC GREENS -HALF & HALF Then I chose my scoops: -AHI TUNA -SPICY TUNA -SALMON -SHRIMP -KIMCHI SHRIMP -OCTOPUS -YELLOWTAIL (add $1) -SCALLOPS -TUNA LUAU -BLAZING SALMON -TOFU -UNAGI (add $1) -SPAM The 2 SCOOPS is $11.35 while the 3 SCOOPS is $13.55 while the KIDS' BOWL is $7.95 for (12 and UNDER). An additional scoop is $2.20 My favorite is the spicy time and blazing salmon. I also go for the regular salmon and the yellow tail. After that I chose my sauce: -HOUSE SAUCE -HOUSE SPICY -SPICY CREAMY -KIMCHI SAUCE -SWEET CITRUS -WASABI CITRUS -GARLIC SOY MIRIN I haven't tried them all. I usually go for the house spicy or the house sauce or the spice creamy. Curious about the garlic soy mirin though. Then I chose my toppings: Ginger Masago (extra scoop .75) Edamame Wasabi Cucumber Crab salad (extra scoop .75) Daikon sprouts Green onion Red onion Seaweed salad (extra scoop .75) Pickled radish Avocado ($1.50) Sesame seed Crispy onion Chili flakes Furikake Seasonal topping I have never had the seasonal toppings. Maybe it is the pineapple, but I always thought it was canned. They are a little pricey. I more often go to a place with the prices a little less. However they are pretty tasty.

    The young man was very nice and helpful when I ordered my poki bowl. They have a lot of different toppings to add too. my bowl was yummy

    To go order: 2 Scoop Bowl. White rice, organic greens. Ahi & Spicy Tuna

    First timer to this fast food fresh & healthy chain. A little history- The Ahipoki concept was born out of the desire of a restaurant group wanting to bring a much needed health conscious approach for their customers. It's an inspired seafood restaurant with a south pacific flare.. Consumers create their own customized poke bowl and have the option to sit down and relax in a laid-back atmosphere all while enjoying the fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian flavors coupled with a fresh fish experience normally found outside of a quick serve restaurant. You also have the option of calling ahead to place a order to go and enjoy poke on the run! Arrive about 2:00 PM just a few patrons dining in and a few tickets were being processed for "pick up" by grub hub which gave me a few minutes to look over the menu. Took notice of how clean the restaurant was and how organized the process was going to be as well. Ordered the two scoop with white rice and organic greens. At an additional fee of $1.50 got avocado as well. Honestly, wasn't a fan as it was more guacamole than sliced avocado. Fish- went with ahi tuna and spicy tuna. Both were delicious along with fresh cucumber slices, red onion, wasabi, ginger, seaweed salad and drizzled with eel sauce, spicy cream sauce & garlic soy mirin. With tax and tip about $16! Huge portion at a fair price and plenty to fill you up and or have a bit of leftovers for later. Employees extremely pleasant. Again "shout out" to the staff for how clean this location was. If you haven't tried this place, I encourage you to do so!

    Please read our order and tell me what is actually right? The white rice.

    Not too sure what happened here. I feel as if I got punk'd, where's Ashton Kutcher?! (please look at picture) No sauce, not the right fish, missing a TON of FISH, missing extras that were paid for, no flavor in/on anything, door dash app also didn't give options for toppings (maybe we missed the options I don't know) , so got ripped off there too. Like wth happened here? Manager?? Tried calling once our delivery got here, but you guys were already closed, took about 40 min to get our food. Tried finding an email, so I could privately message you guys, but couldn't find one. Ya'll definitely messed up the whole order. I would love our money back, thanks. $70+or so...

    White Rice, avocado,Spicy Tuna, Shrimp topped with Crab, jalapeño peppers, Sea Weed Salad Topped with the House Dressing.

Once again...a meal that was fantastic, fresh, and well cooked. Wife had an Amaretto Sour, which is made with Disaronno and she loves that drink, saying it's well balanced and she likes that they don't use the egg foam on top. She also ordered off the Crabby Hour menu some scallops on the half shell and some roasted brussels sprouts. This place knows how to roast spouts so that they are tender and toasted and not overdone. So yummy! The scallops are served with a light ponzu sauce drizzled over which complimented the tender scallops. Delicious! From the Restaurant Week menu, I chose the crab & Artichoke dip which we love and it isn't typically on their menu. It was so good and I had to ask for some extra toast points because there was so much dip! I also got the stripped bass, which was cooked to perfection although a smaller portion than the one you get from the regular menu. They do bass right! And for dessert, chose the Pumpkin Pot de Creme, which was my first taste of pumpkin for the season. Creamy and so good although I took off most of the whip cream because it was a lot.

Compliments to the chef, except for failing to spot the platter crack at the pass. Parking is easy and plentiful. 4 dinners, 3 drinks, an appetizer, and a free birthday flan were $280 with tax and tip. Not cheap, but worth it for us. BTW, we're seeing more AI electronic wall displays, and BLU is no exception.

I figured a Sunday afternoon would be calm, so I decided to pop in for a solo lunch. What I Ordered: - Yuzu Mule: The drink was delicious and refreshing, so I ordered a second one. Definitely order if I return as well. - Hamachi Lime Roll: This roll had an odd texture to me, and ultimately, I grabbed the rest to go as it was a little off putting to me. The flavor was decent though I found myself wishing there was more crunch with tempura flakes or panko bread crumbs on top. - Crazy Roll: The winner between the two rolls in terms of flavor and preference. Though, I wish this roll had the spicy mayo the other one had. I'd definitely order again and ask for a side of spicy mayo that I could add to the roll. Love the soy paper option! As for ambiance? I thought country music was an incredibly odd choice for this establishment hence the 4 stars versus 5 star review. I'd prefer more traditional Japanese music, or heck, even some J-Rock over American country music. I'm guessing Sunday afternoon is a slower time, so it was employee choice. Overall, I'd visit again when in the area and recommend to friends/family.

Course 2: Spicy Scallop Futomaki/hokkaido scallop / benishoga / chili crisp/ takuan / wasabi mayo. This roll tastes great, scallop tastes fresh and I love the way it was seasoned. However the rice around it was too much that I couldn't taste the scallop fully. I wouldn't get this dish again because of the rice around it was too much. Course 3: Ocean Trout Mi-Cuit/ okinawa potato croquette / citrus cream/fried capers / crispy salmon skin. I love the cream and the capers in this dish. The fish is seared. Although not much flavor in the fish itself but because of the sauce, it complements the dish well. Course 4: Dessert - Yuzu Lychee Sorbet/vanilla whisky hojicha granita. Oh my gosh, this is my favorite dish! It was so good and refreshing! The yuzu sorbet was tart and creamy. And the hojicha ice underneath was delicious! I would come back to the restaurant just for this dish and the first dish!

    Disappointing Anniversary Dinner - Expected More for the Price…read more My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here after getting recommendations from friends who spoke highly of the place. Since we're in the Gilbert area, we loved the idea of a great steakhouse without the drive to Scottsdale. We went in with high expectations -- we're no strangers to special occasion dining, so we knew what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. The ambience and service felt more like a polished chain restaurant than the upscale dining experience the prices suggest. For a $300-$400 dinner for two, you expect a certain level of attentiveness and flow -- and we just didn't get it. After our appetizers, we noticed we never received the pretzel bread everyone raves about. When I asked our waiter, he said they had just finished baking a fresh batch. When it arrived, it was cold -- so that clearly wasn't the case. We also had to flag our waiter down to take our entrée order, which shouldn't happen at this price point. My steak was fine -- just fine. My wife's fish was the same. Nothing memorable, nothing that made us feel like the bill was justified. By the end of the meal we were both ready to leave. Our waiter did offer a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice gesture, but we were already checked out mentally and chose to go somewhere else to finish the evening on a better note. If you're in the East Valley looking for a truly special dinner, I'd honestly just make the drive to Mastro's Oceans Club or Steak 44.

We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

    Unfortunately, our experience at Sage & Barrel in Queen Creek was horrible, and we will not be…read morereturning. From the moment we arrived, the host was not welcoming at all. There was no smile, greeting, or sense that we were happy to be there. Our server was very nice personally, but the service was incredibly disorganized. What made it even more frustrating was that she only had two tables, and the restaurant was not busy. My husband's meal never came out, and she did not even notice that he was still waiting for it. While we were waiting for his food, she brought us a drink we had never ordered. She also filled my kids' lemonades with water. The food was just as disappointing. The salmon was extremely dry and hard, and the pasta noodles my kids ordered were hard as well. After waiting and realizing my husband's meal was never coming, we asked for the bill. At that point, our server actually asked if my husband was ready to order... even though he had already ordered and had been waiting for his meal the entire time. Our bill ended up being high, which made the experience even more frustrating because we spent that much money and left feeling like we received essentially nothing worth coming back for. We all left hungry. Mistakes happen, but this was not one small mistake. It was a series of issues with the service, drinks, food, and basic attentiveness, especially considering the restaurant was not busy. For the amount we paid, we expected a completely different experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

    I had a great experience during the lunch hours and have previously been for dinner! First of all…read morethe food is amazing! Everything is hand crafted and you can tell the company/staff pours into creating a great menu and experience. My fiance and I were in for lunch our server was Kyle T, he was amazing! He explained the menu and what certain dishes were. Beyond amazing service, our glasses of water were kept full the entire time same with our bellies!! The manager was also amazing they took great care of us. I 100% recommend North Italia in Gilbert. The ambience was great as well, everything is very clean and welcoming! The experience we had left us so happy and grateful for the people we encountered. Thank you!!!

    It was NOT what I was expecting... in the absolute best way!!!…read more We went to North Italia to celebrate two birthdays, and what I thought was going to be just another Italian restaurant turned out to be so much more. The ambiance, the service, the wait time, the food -- everything was a 10/10! Would I recommend this spot? ABSOLUTELY. We will definitely be back! I ordered a pasta dish that our server told me was amazing. I've heard that at other restaurants before, only for the dish to arrive and be just... alright. But this one was everything she said it would be AND MORE! You could actually taste every individual flavor. It wasn't one big mashup where everything tasted the same -- each flavor made its own appearance and complemented the others perfectly. Easily one of those dishes you're still thinking about after you leave! The rest of our table ordered a little bit of everything, from pizza and chicken to seafood, and not a single dish disappointed. When they say FRESH! They mean it! They fresh drinks are amazing as well. They were also incredibly accommodating to the children in our group. They provided drawing tablets for the little ones, which was such a thoughtful touch and definitely appreciated by the parents! They also took the time to recognize both birthdays, which made our celebration feel even more special. Between the atmosphere, the service, the attention to detail, and food that genuinely lived up to the hype, North Italia completely exceeded my expectations. 10/10 experience and absolutely somewhere I'd recommend -- whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for a really good meal. We'll definitely be returning! Glad that a random selection just became a staple restaurant.
