It's "Poke"licious! And yes it's Deliciousness!
Yes, yes folks, I'm back with another one. And this time it's about "Poke"..again. I'm obsessed with the stuff, and this time my adventure takes me to "Fresh Box" I was off work and searching for another place to cross off my "Yelp" list. I like when fresh new places pop up when I'm in an area and I have the "Dough" aka "Moolah" to indulge a bit. So with some free time I decided to make my presence known.

Location: Fresh Box, Concord Ca
People: 1 Adult
Story:
So, I had a day off, I already had my mind made up and knew I wanted "Poke" so I headed to "Concord" to cross "Freshbox" off my list. The location is what intrigued me the most, and the convenience factor is what made this place a must go. So with my camera ready and an empty stomach, I made my way in with my "Uncle" (Iron Chef reference) in mind.
Service/Hospitality:
Well the welcome was indeed warm. Smiles from the two female attendents and a "Hello" from both of them was nice. I liked the fact that as I sat with my "Freshbox" The owner and one of the attendents came out to ask how I liked their product and how did I find out about them. Of course I had to let them know "Yelp" brought me there to their delight they told me "Feel free to take pics and please give your honest opinion" I liked the attention to the consumer here, I was all around pleased.
Food/Cleanliness:
This place was clean, the attendants were constantly cleaning and sanitizing after each order they made. The restroom (gender neutral) was clean and in order and the condiment area was neat and together as well. I like going to places that are clean because it makes me feel better about eating there and you will get that experience here. Now, on to my "Freshbox" I opted for the Large Box $13.95 which is 4 scoops. I got a Orangina $2.00 for my drink. For my proteins I choose Spicy Tuna, Yellowtail, Salmon, Scallops. They have 4 options of "I Like It" which is premade mixes that you could add to your box to make it further your way. I didn't choose from the options but rather told them what sauces and mixes I wanted "A La Carte" which is an option. I have to say, "Freshbox" is true to their namesake. This was the best "Poke" bowl I've had so far, it was perfectly balanced and they put just the right amount of sauce and my selected toppings in my box. The large was honestly more than enough for me, 2 people honestly could of ate off the large I had, but I'm greedy and did finish it. A perfectly balanced bowl and totally worth the price.
Overall:
Nestled away in a secluded section of the "Park N Shop" (Concord) shopping center this place is in my opinion a nice addition to the plaza. The product they're bringing is of course "Fresh" and it kinda "Hip" something that I think is a perfect addition to the revamping this shopping center is going through. So I hope more people and even more of the "Yelpdom" visits here and put this place even more in the spotlight. Because quality and service deserves to be highlighted. I'm indeed a fan. read more
