I especially loves the sparkling water with flavored balsamic two bottle combination, which they obviously sell a lot of. It was quite reasonable, and really does make a nice non-alcoholic treat. They have four different size bottle to fill and take home, including the largest marked "don't judge me." But really, it was the happy feeling that the employees had, which got The Wife and I interested in trying so many things. They had their favorites, and were excited to share with us.

Very Japanese way of ordering - when you walk in, you can try the self-service touch screen ordering system (although it was having software issues when I tried it), or fill out the paper slip with your desired options with a provided pen. Then you hand your order slip to the cashier and pay. A lot like a ramen joint in Shibuya... The poke is wonderful (photo below) - generous portions means a very filling lunch. Service is polite and friendly (for me, at least, I see the other reviews...perhaps it's a "reserved Asian" thing). For me it's a go to if I'm in the mood for a big lunch.

I went for the first time today to purchase prizes for an upcoming Western themed picnic hosted by my workplace (children's hospital) and was very happy. The store was clean, spacious, and air conditioned. The staff were friendly and helpful. I am always impressed by the variety of licensed options Five Below carries from Sanrio and Disney, and I found a lot of Toy Story, Woody, and Jessie prizes that fit the Western theme (super activity sets, coloring books, bracelet sets, sticker booklets). Everything was $1-5 each, so my $50 budget from work went far! To treat myself, I even found a Toy Story Jessie baseball cap to wear to the picnic and a Pompompurin Squishmallow ($7 each) to keep at my desk.

This should be Marin's go to spice shop no doubt.
