My family and I are long-time fans of Huli Bowl, way back from when they were Poké Rose and just served bowls. As such, when we heard they were opening at Dunedin Mix, we knew we'd have to make the trip out to see what they were up to!
Unfortunately, their bowls have decreased in quality from what they once were, possibly as a consequence of the smaller location in the Mix. Though very fresh, the Tofu Veganite bowl I had was lacking in flavor, and a far cry from my memories of the build-your-own bowls.
The salmon poké nachos were nothing special, but again very fresh.
To me, the highlight of the meal was the BBQ Chicken Bao Buns--the shift towards rotisserie meats did NOT disappoint, and I wish I'd ordered this three times over instead of the bowl.
Despite the food being a little disappointing, the service was great and efficient, and the Dunedin Mix has a great vibe, with a bar at one end and plenty of seating. Be warned that the parking situation is almost indescribably bad--my family and I parked behind the neighboring apartment building and hoofed it.
Will I be back? Probably not, unless I find myself really craving the chicken buns--which I might, they were that good. read more
