    Love poke! Love the options and the freshness. Staff always friendly. I think I go weekly. Cute little place and always clean inside

    I am just going to say it once: if you like poke, this is the best. If you are in the Portland area, they have at least two locations. If you don't know poke, but you like sushi, you must try this. Each plate is designed for the flavors to meld and complement each other. All the ingredients are super fresh and delicious. The staff is the friendliest. You can order there or ahead of time online to pick up.. The dining area is comfortable and quiet. I had lost a bit of track of them since they moved but now I've located them again, right near Market Basket, and exit 48. Do it! Go there!

    Poke bowl place with quick service like a chipotle. You can order online or go in and order at the counter and take a seat. Always fresh with lots of ingredients to choose from. They have some bowls you can choose from or just make your own. I always make my own with the tuna and it's great. A little pricey but worth it for fresh ingredients.

    Excellent poke bowls. Fresh ingredients and fair portion sizes. I took the picture after I mixed the ingredients a bit. It was a really nice presentation too. I will definitely be back.

    Oh man. So good. Friendly and fast service, easy online ordering. Only downside is it is very pricey, but the ingredients are usually very fresh (sometimes the avo isn't), and they do an AMAZING JOB with spice levels and cilantro. A true treat of a meal!

    A little gem on the edge of Portland! The poke was fresh and delicious! They have a bunch of prefix bowls for all tastes or you can customize your own with lots of options for topping and sauces. The service was fast and friendly too!

    To go Build-Your-Own Bowl / Large Poke $16.50 (as of 3/7/23)

    If you are traveling back to NYC from Maine and craving for some Poke, you should give this place a try. According to Yelp, they have 2 branches in Maine. I visited the one in Westbrook because it is closer to the highway. The restaurant is inside a plaza so there are plenty of parking spaces. Once entered the restaurant, the right side is to place new orders and the left is for pick-up. There are signs with instructions for how to order the food which are pretty simple and clear. Build your own bowl large size is $16.50 (as of 3/7/2023). They have tables and chairs for people to sit down as well. Inside the restaurant is decorated in Hawaiian style and is kinda cute imo. The bathroom is clean and equipped with necessary items, they even provide a small corner for baby changing. As for the food, they gave okay portions but I think the amount of rice was a bit too little. I got salmon, tuna and yellowtail and they all were fresh. I wish they have given more sauce because after mixing with the rice & everything I couldn't quite taste the sauce anymore. Overall I would say it's a bit pricey compared to the amount given. But if I pass through the town again I'll probably go there and this time I'll make sure I ask for more rice and sauce if they don't charge extra lol. Note: I didn't bring my phone with me to the restaurant that's why there's no photos of the inside.

    Being in Maine moving from Hawaii this place makes me feel like I'm back home on Maui. Hawaii no ka'oi! This was all fresh and delicious! The service was great and they were super friendly! The ambiance was like I was sitting in an indoor Hawaii. Obviously nothing beats the real thing but this is the place to go should you miss the islands! I'll be back!

    I will start this off by saying that I never would expect this small establishment to serve some of…read morethe best tacos that we have been privy to in a long time! It is a quaint and small and unsassuming place that packs 'em in tight but the great thing is that I was able to book a reservation ahead of time for a Friday night and we were able to be seated right away and our adventure begins. There were many vegan options for my better half and she also got a non alcoholic margarita that she enjoyed tremendously. I got three different styles of tacos and appetizers and they were divine ... (Pork Belly, Carnitas, Fried fish taco) The ambiance and the energy of the place was fantastic with the server being very good at what he did. We will definitely be back!

    Bird & Co is the best Mexican spot in Portland…read more I'm not saying it's the most authentic, I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm not saying their cocktail program is going to change your life, but... 1. They take reservations (including for brunch on the weekends) and it's super easy to do online. How many places in this city are doing this? The answer is: still not many. 2. Their menu is clearly labeled with what's vegan and vegetarian. No guessing here, and the staff has always been quick to double-check with the kitchen if there are any questions or concerns. Segue... 3. The chips and guacamole for currently $10 are the same quantity of (and I mean this lovingly) overly salted, house fried - sometimes too fried - chips and a tiny scoop of good guac as most places in town that are CHARGING YOU MORE. Segue... 4. There are places in town now charging $8 to $10 for ONE TACO. And they're sometimes quite small. The tacos here average between $4.75 and $6.50 for creative, flavorful, interesting, filling options (also you can get them on either flour or corn, no upcharge). The menu changes from time to time, and I wish they'd bring back the fried yuca taco, but the solid vegan solid options right now are Adobo Sweet Potato, Fried Plantain, and Crispy Tofu. Segue... 5. The taquitos, brussel sprouts, and cheesecake are all vegan. Segue... 6. The brunch (10am to 2pm, Saturday and Sundays) options for vegans are probably the most impressive in town: tofu or chorizo or fresh avocado tacos, huevos rancheros, churro french toast, avocado toast, chimichangas. 7. The Mexican cold brew might change your life (... or at least make you really happy when you're playing hooky from work and having an 11am drink). Switch the tequila for house whisky, skip the vespertino, ask for a side of oat milk... no changes to the price when doing this, by the way, because they're THAT kind of place that isn't trying to punish you constantly with extra fees. 8. The staff is so accommodating, they're thoughtful, they check-in just the right amount. Sure, I've had a few bad experiences here, but overall... sit at the bar, make a friend, and just ask/just talk to them if you're missing something/need something etc. 9. The atmosphere here is Portland right before it became too cool (IYKYK). It's casual and relaxed, it can be intimate and loud when it's busy, it feels quite trendy yet still approachable when they've got their newly updated outside area set-up. 10. It's off peninsula which also changes the demographic and vibe entiiiiiiiiiirely. For the good. 6/5 no notes.

    This. Is. It. Seriously, do not pass go. No notes. If you want to take a journey into tantalizing…read moretastebud adventures you must make it a point to get here. Super funky vibes. There's records being thrown down, cool lighting, nice decor and even super friendly folks. The employees here are beyond nice and welcoming. Like they know what they are doing here and they are offering you an experience that is fun and funky. We started off with two drinks. One was called a salad of some sort (sorry, blacked out) and it was delicious. The other was just as good. Ordered the eggplant app - do not leave without this. Absolutely amazing. For food, we ordered a rice bowl with pork sausage and a noodle bowl (with lobster and clams). Don't remember the names. Both were absolutely fantastic. The flavor profiles are just incredible. The rice bowl had so many things happening. Just terrific. The noodle bowl has a broth that you would drink daily. There wasn't one thing that could have made these dishes any better. Do not leave without dessert. Read that again!!! Get the honey sundae. This is what dreams are made of. You will question reality. No matter how stuffed you think you are, order this. This place is just full of magic and wizardry. Like seriously.

    Good meal, prices definitely on the high side…read more Vibe: really cohesive, cool, themed decor. Large shared table in the middle flanked by bar seating. Service: Great Food: We started off with soft serve and the seasonal earl gray outshined the house honey. The earl gray had a great flavor topped with an excellent syrup while the honey was mild and the chocolate shell didn't add anything, although the 'honeycomb' bits were delic. Crispy eggplant special - good, very small portion Pork katsu sandwich - pretty solid, interesting pickle Pad mee korat - good, small portion Value: Aside from the soft serve, the portions were very small for ~$17 price point, and the food was good but aside from the earl gray soft serve, didn't amaze to the point of paying a higher price point. Overall I did like this meal but portions were small for prices. I hope they keep the earl gray soft serve around!

I was caught off guard since I've never been to a restaurant that turned people away. I'm assuming kids/babies aren't welcomed here? There were plenty of large tables available in the front where the host stand was. I could count 4 tables on my way in, 1 or 2 of them larger tables. We were open to the grill tops or regular tables but he didn't ask us. I guess if you have kids, save the hassle and dine elsewhere. We ended up at Highrollers for the evening.
