At 7:24 PM, we were told it would be "2 minutes," but after waiting several more minutes, we decided to leave. There was also no greeting when we arrived, and it didn't appear to be very busy -- only two people were ahead of us. The wait felt unnecessarily long, especially with limited acknowledgment or communication. It honestly felt like there may have been some stalling since the shop was closing at 8 PM. I was really hoping to support this place, but the lack of service and communication made it difficult to stay.

Honestly this place is underrated for poke in the Southbay! I've always driven past it when I'm at…read morethe Otay Ranch Mall but never went in, so after I finished my workout the other day, I decided to give it a shot, and I will say I left pretty satisfied! It's located towards the end of the Otay Ranch Mall, right next to Planet Fitness. I personally think parking is not a challenge. The main road in the middle of the mall may be hard to find parking, but there's an abundance of parking outside the mall on either side you go on. The place itself is very small. It's more of a to-go place. Granted they do have a counter with enough to fit maybe 3 people. There's seats outside and plenty of spots through the mall to sit and eat. But the place was pretty clean. Their menu offered quite a bit of fresher and healthier options to eat and drink. They had juices, sandwiches, smoothies and more, things that would be the right choice to eat after a workout. Service was pretty good in my opinion. There was only one person working there at the time we went (not sure if he was the owner) but he was super kind and had great customer service skills. He was working hard and explaining to us in good detail about some of the stuff we didn't know about (example the Vitale Sauce). Surprisingly, food was pretty good. The fish was fresh and he packed the bowl pretty well. The fish had a really nice color to it so that was reassuring. We got two small bowls (around $13 per bow) and one medium bowl (Around $15 per bowl) and we did think price matched what we paid for. The worker was also very generous on the toppings. I do see myself coming back here. I think it's smart that it opened up right next to the gym. But they're really good poke and at the same time, some of their sandwiches and juices caught my eye, so I will definitely be back to try them again.

I got the poke salad with salmon ~$18 total for a bowl of greens and enough spicy mayo salmon to fit inside a 4oz container. The poke salad is around $15, and apparently the default fish is tuna. An extra charge to get salmon is $3, which is understandable, but what ISNT understandable is that the $15 ONLY included a mix of salad (romaine, arugula, three cherry tomatoes, a couple cucumber slices). No fish. An extra $3 for salmon, and so you essentially pay $15 for a box of salad.

My favorite is the furikake salmon but there are so many styles to choose from! Try them all! The mac salad and edamame is delicious as well. The shop is very popular & opens at 11am. There is a decent line that accumulates by 11:30am-noon so be prepared to wait but patience will pay off with a delicious meal! Follow the shop on instagram to stay up to date with what is being offered as well as dates when the shop is closed. The staff deserves a break and I love the work-life balance mindset!

They seemed upset to refund her taco so she ordered next door and got her food from a Thai place in less than 5mins. Lots of places that have potential but places don't last long.
