I am so sad that they are closed! Online, it says that they are temporarily closed. When I try…read moretheir phone number, there is no answering machine. Maybe there will be another one that opens up closer to the South Tempe area, nearer to the population center. They are located at the edge of Gilbert.
I love poke. There are signature bowls or build-your-own bowls. There were only five options for the signature bowls. They each have their own marinating sauce. There are five marinating sauces. OG sauce, island fin fire, pozu, wicked wahine, and shoyu.
Shoyu is your basic soy sauce. The wicked wahine is a little sweet. Ponzu is usually a little citrusy tasting. I believe island fin fire was a little spicy. The OG sauce is probably what people usually get when they build their own bowl if they're not looking for something exotic.
This is what is said about their marinating sauces:
The OG sauce is a bold and savory flavor. It has fresh jalapeños and fresh sweet onions that marinate in sesame oil, olive oil, rice wine vinegar and a premium gluten free soy sauce.
Shoyu is a premium gluten free soy sauce. Ponzu is a citrus based soy sauce. It has fresh orange juice, fresh lemon juice, and fresh lime juice that are mixed with the premium gluten free soy sauce.
Island Fin Fire is their spicy sauce. It has fresh habaneros, fresh pineapple, cilantro, honey and rice wine vinegar that are mixed with their premium gluten free soy sauce. Wicked Wahine is their sweet heat. It has fresh lime juice, coconut palm sugar, and chili paste mixed with their premium gluten free soy sauce.
The below are their signature bowls:
Salmon Poke Bowl - Salmon, Edamame, Corn, Ponzu, Seaweed Salad, Avocado Cream, and Tempura Crisps
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl - Ahi Tuna, Edamame, Corn, OG Sauce, Pineapple Mango Salsa, Spicy Pickled Veggies, Green Onion, Togarashi, Sesame Seeds, and Crispy Onion

With the build-your-own bowl, you can get three scoops of protein. You can also get a mix of either one rice and spring mix, or both rices but no spring mix. You can choose between brown rice or white rice. There are eight different meat options. Ahi Tuna, Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Tofu, Chicken, Octopus, Spam, Korean BBQ Chicken.
There are six different options for Mix ins. Furikaki (sesame seeds, dried seaweed and sea salt), Edamame, Corn, Sweet Onion, Jalapenos, OG Veg. I would probably do all of these except for the jalapeños.

You can get up to nine crunchy toppings. Sesame Seeds, Chili Flakes, Sea Salt Crispy Onions, Roasted Garlic, Nori Strips, Tempura Crisps, Wasabi Peas, Wonton Crisps, Chili Oil. Of these, I would probably do the crispy onions, the roasted garlic, the Nori strips, the tempura crisps, the wonton crisps, and maybe the chili oil.
Usually quiet inside. Sometimes service is slow.
I couldn't pick a favorite. I liked all of their signature bowls. I usually got one of the below:
Salmon Poke Bowl, Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, or the Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl.
