Terri S.

We got a pretty affordable poke bowl here, and they even had a catch of the day: real snow crab! A regular sized bowl for $15.99 is honestly such a great price for a poke bowl with snow crab and salmon. The portions for the regular size was also good too. Workers were super nice, but it was a little hard to see the food through the window since the writing was blocking part of the view. Overall, I would go here again, it made a great lunch for our meal at the park!

Regular Bowl

Lots of fresh veggies to choose from. The bowl was yummy, but I feel like the poke was more so on the bland side compared to other spots. The fish was nice and soft and decently fresh. Place itself was casual and clean, and the workers were nice and welcoming. I don't think this spot is anything special but not a bad option if you're craving a healthy bowl of poke.

Small bowl with salmon and tuna
Sierra G.

Very fresh and the service was efficient and friendly! The small bowl with two proteins was very filling and I enjoyed the Thai tea as well!

Poke Regular Bowl

Nice little poke place close to the Fillmore. Went here before a concert and got some poke bowls. They have a lot of options for toppings and sauces. Nice number of toppings even on the small bowls. I got mine with brown rice, salmon and tuna, the shoyu sauce, seaweed, omelette and some more toppings. Was a really satisfying bowl with some nice bites. Only complaint would be that they skimp a bit on the fish portions. Still, would definitely return here.

Super fresh, so delicious, and filling poke for a really reasonable price! The regular bowl is just under $15 which is a price I haven't seen for poke in a while. The salmon in particular was buttery soft, and the marinated salmon was extremely flavorful. I went a little too crazy on sauces -- if I came back to get a marinated protein option, I'd probably only pick 1-2 non-soy based ones. :') Service was speedy and thorough, and the restaurant itself is kept super clean.

Médium poke bowl

I have been coming to grab poke since they've opened and i must say, they are very stingy and greedy with the portion lately. They were almost closing and they still decided to put as little as possible in my bowl. The person helping me was rude as well. This is bummer because I've recommended this place to so many people but now i will not. I literally have three to four pieces of Hawaiian salmon portion of protein. This is disappointing.

A very cute poke spot, ther strawberry matcha was PERFECT!!! The fish chunks were pretty big and fresh. Customer service was amazing too!

It's been so long since I had a sushi burrito and I throughly enjoyed eating this over getting my usual poke bowl. Fresh fish, great flavors, variety of toppings & seasonings, and service was quick. My boyfriend and I got 2 burritos mine (build your own) and his (salmon lover) they came out to around $37ish with tip, not too bad on pricing! wish the burritos were a tad bigger but besides that solid poke spot.

The food tastes fresh, the customer service is great, and the ambience is perfect. I came here visiting from central Cali and my kids got hungry. This was closest to the painted ladies, so we decided to eat here. I love how fast and efficient the restaurant is. It's a great place for families with kids, just not that big.

We were hanging around Japantown but wanted to find something healthy ish to eat. I found this nearby so we decided to stop in for a late lunch. It wasn't all that busy. It's a small place, but it seemed like a lot of customers were getting takeout. My sister and I shared a poke bowl. Tuna, salmon, cucumber, edamame, seaweed, jalapeños, fried onions. It was filling! And it wasn't just all rice, which I'm used to getting. The ratio was perfect. The price was good too. It's pretty expensive to get poke if you live inland lol My friend got spam musubi. I tried some and it was delicious! They also have free water sitting out if you want some.

I made my own bowl w/ salmon for protein and everything except for a few items. They had a great selection.

To the woman who assisted me today, 3/9 at 3:45pm: THANK YOU!!!! The absolute best customer service was provided and I was extremely thankful, especially since I was on a time crunch and literally had not ate anything all day. It was my first time here and I will definitely be returning. The woman was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. She even put saran wrapped my food to ensure that nothing spilled. Also the food itself was amazing. I purchased a larger bowl and added a scoop of real crab salad. Kimchi is not my favorite, but I'm so glad I gave it a try here because it was so good. The establishment overall was clean and in an okay location. I can't wait to come back!

TLDR: When you're at the heart of Japan town, you have to embody the nation in all the good ways…read more Kui Shin Bo, embodied the nation's backbone of being average to above average in multiple things. This place covers many of the basics (rolls, ramen, tempura, yakisoba, teriyaki, unagi). I really only see it as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. It doesn't mean that this restaurant has no place in Japantown, but it doesn't inspire confidence when it's located in an isolated region of the mall with less foot traffic, while its competition on the other wing has lines longer than the location's capacity. Black Garlic Ramen: It's always a mystery to me how black garlic improves a bowl of ramen. My expectations, however, remain the same. How thick is the broth? How clean is the broth when consumed? What is the quality of the chashu? Do I get enough noodles? I think the best part of this meal was the amount of soup they give, and the chashu was very good. It sucks that the chashu is tiny, but they did very well. I feel that the noodles were those wholesale ramen noodles that were portioned, and the garnish was fine. The broth was okay, 3.5-ish stars in terms of taste. Dynamite Roll and Volcano Roll: I think it's a problem if I have trouble identifying which is which. I can tell you that both are good enough to try, and the Volcano Roll comes with raw fish. Both come with a good crunch and a good sauce, but like most Japanese places that lean heavily into the rolls, good luck finding out what you ordered and what you just ate. Ambiance: Very classic Japanese. They're really at their best to convince you that you're in Japan. It may get tight during a busy day though. Service: Standard. You order, your water gets refilled, you pay, you leave.

I started with the miso soup and it was delicious. For sushi, I ordered the Crunchy California Roll, Dragon Roll and the Domo Roll. Yes I was that hungry haha! Every roll was packed with fresh ingredients, the fish tasted incredibly fresh and the presentation was beautiful. My absolute favorite was the Domo Roll. Seriously no kidding, it was so good! To top it all off, the staff were friendly, welcoming and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back.

The roll is so flavorful and just melts in your mouth. Unfortunately though, my last visit was honestly RUINED by poor customer service. I understand the model of first come first serve for their seating and have participated every time. However, this time I have a torn meniscus and called ahead to ask if I could be put on the waitlist since my mobility was very limited and the operator assured me there was no wait and I would be seated right away. 10 minutes later when we arrived that was not the case and we ended up being 4 parties behind in the line, which is fine things happen unexpectedly I totally understand. What really was upsetting was when we were told our table was next and being cleared, 10 minutes passed by so I went and asked again clarifying I could not stand for too long due to the injury. The server was very rude and said I had to wait to be told to sit, even though he had just told us we would be seated soon, and then proceeded to lie and tell me the open table was for the owner. The patron sat the table was definitely not the owner and I even heard him say he called and asked for the table for a first date. It felt really humiliating and upsetting to be passed up and continue to wait with a significant injury. And then when we finally were sat, at the bar top, the same server was just really rude and cold. It was an overall upsetting experience and I hope you never let your staff treat customers like that again. Overall, I do love the sushi but after this past experience I don't think I can come back.

Conveyer belt sushi for the win!…read more I came here last minute because I needed somewhere quick to eat and I was by myself, so luckily there was one seat left (during busy dinner time on a weekend, no less - other places had long waits) Here in America the conveyer belt sushi places haven't really impressed me, but being that this one is in Japantown, it's pretty decent. If there isn't something on the conveyer, you can always ask for it. They were cutting up real, whole fish so you know it's fresh at least. Service was great, super quick and the "chefs" were responsive. The menu is nice, with lots of drinks to choose from as well. Cuts were not authentic but still meaty. Pricing can be on the higher side, depending on what you like. But others have mentioned it can be cheap as you like or expensive as you like at places like these, as they are priced essentially by the choice of fish and how it's prepared. Atmosphere was lively for a weekend night, but I have been here during the week as well when it's less busy. It can be tight if it's full (get to know your neighbor!) but it's more than adequate. Always a fun experience and I have , and will be back.

For conveyor belt sushi this is a clear 5, for freshness, ease of ordering off-belt (?) and the…read moreservice efficiency. Never a complaint and great hot sake to warm up the vocal cords before going to Festa karaoke right next door.
