Earlier afternoon, I ordered the small poke bowl. The base is brown rice. The protein was albacore…read moreand spicy tuna. Toppings I chose were white onion, edamame, pineapple, and sesame seed. The sauce I chose was ponzu sauce. I like the spice level of the spicy tuna. One side of the albacore was grilled which was surprising. It was $15.45 for the small bowl. The price seems reasonable. One employee asked if I'd like crab and seaweed salad. I said yeah. Crab is probably imitation crab. I like that the crab and seaweed salad are free. I don't think other poke bowl restaurants serve them for free. I like how the sauces and toppings are labeled on the display cases or glass. I didn't see the trash can so I asked an employee where I was supposed to place the tray and bowl. He said he could take it. Employees were kind. One employee said I'd be paying with cash since I had a $20 bill out. There are at least 4 tables inside. Music played through the speakers. Chairs were stools. A small plant was placed on each table. They seemed real. One table had 2 chairs on each side. Tables were grouped together. There are tables outside. Natural light filtered through the floor to ceiling windows. I could feel the AC inside.

I will DEFINITELY be coming here again. SERVICE The service was fast, and the food was fire. They even had purple rice as an option which maybe I'll try another time. I also enjoyed the dining area having a tucked away space for me to enjoy my food. HONORABLE MENTION I even saw they serve instant ramen which was different lol. AMBIANCE It had vibey music playing in the background and the staff were chill.

I got double salmon with salad and a ton of random toppings to check out! Everything was fresh and every bite was pretty nice. There were plenty of staff members so when it was a little busy it still went by quickly. So if you are looking for a quick and fast but healthy option I would really consider this place. It might look a little old inside but the ingredients were so fresh.

King Fish is easily one of the cleanest and nicest fish markets I've been to! We stopped by…read moreyesterday to pick up a few different types of fish for a barbecue, and I was so impressed by the quality, freshness, and selection. They have everything you could possibly need--an amazing variety of fresh fish and seafood, sides, seasonings and rubs, sauces, and so much more. They also have a great selection of sake, wine, beer, and other drinks. What makes this place even better is that they have a café where you can order freshly cooked fish and seafood and enjoy it right there. There are tables if you want to sit and eat, and they also make poke bowls. We tried the tuna poke bowl, and it was AMAZING--so fresh and delicious! The entire market was incredibly clean, organized, and well stocked, and you can really tell how fresh everything is. Five stars, 10/10, HIGHLY recommend King Fish! Whether you're buying fresh fish to cook at home, grabbing a poke bowl, or sitting down for a freshly prepared meal, they have it all. We will definitely be back!

I think I've just gotten used to that with poké, so it feels a little weird not being able to do that here. That being said, they make ordering really easy. The menu is super self-explanatory, and the staff is really helpful if you have any questions or don't know what you want. Their selection is pretty good, there's not a ton of seating inside, but the place itself is really cute. I'd definitely come back for the food.

This place is a bit hidden in an alleyway, but I love poké so when this popped up on my Yelp search…read moreI knew I wanted to try it. Fair warning, they do not have white rice available. It's only purple or brown rice, which is a healthier option, but I understand it's not for everyone. I got the regular size poké bowl with purple rice, and it's cooked perfectly that it has a fluffy texture very similar to white rice's. What I really liked about this place is that they mix your sauces with the protein in a separate mixing bowl before putting it into your poké bowl. Most poké places I've been too won't do this as an extra step - they'll just drizzle a bunch of sauce that sometimes the dry ingredients gets drenched and soggy. As for the fish itself, the portions are very fair, and the quality is good. They gave a pretty generous amount of avocado as well, which was very fresh, and you do not have to pay extra for it. Rarely do I come across a poké restaurant that does this.

I cannot recommend Gelson's enough! I go when I want high quality and to treat myself. Every time I…read morevisit, the store is immaculately clean, there is plenty of parking, and I have never once had to wait in a long checkout line. The meat counter, pre-packaged sections, and deli offer by far the best selections in the area. The deli is where I visit most frequently, and it is truly a standout department. One of the associates there--I believe her name is Gloria--is by far the friendliest and most caring worker I have ever encountered. She makes an effort to remember your name and treats every interaction with genuine care. When she is busy working on an order, she will politely tell others, "I am helping my customer." That level of pride and personal ownership is incredibly rare these days, and she deserves highest praise. This store has a fantastic team, and Gloria makes every visit a wonderful experience!

Interesting fact, the first Gelson's opened in July 1951 by Bernard and Eugene Gelson. Funny thing,…read morethis was my first time visiting Gelson's. I'd say it's more of a bougie grocery store. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the delicious smell of baked goods the permeated the air. The second thing I noticed was how pristine everything seemed to be. The displays were all lovely. For the most part, you'll find the same items that you see at chain supermarkets, except the prices here are a bit higher but not as outrageous as Erewhon. I ended up paying $3 for a grapefruit. Ouch! Renaud's Bakery is on site, and you can get freshly baked Wolfgang Puck Pizzas. There is also a deli counter, butcher, & fresh seafood too. The lady at the register was genuinely nice. *Private parking lot.

Great and spacious interior, patient and friendly staff who instantaneously put together a delicious poke meal. Should definitely try not to let years past again before coming back. PREVIOUS REVIEW As our normal to go place did for some reason not allow for online ordering, and with numerous alternative poke shops available, we had to try something new. PokiTomik had uniformly high ratings on yelp and hence appeared to be a good choice for a takeout. We were not disappointed, in fact rather the opposite! The fish was extremely tender and the produce and nonprotein ingredients fresh and very tasty. Excellent, and a reason to come for more.

Really aweful all around! My friend and I were excited to try this place and both the food and…read moreservice was pretty bad. The staff were unfriendly and I found it odd that they mixed the sauce in with the fish and all the toppings together. The spicy mayo was super spicy and didn't help when mixed in with all the toppings and the fish did not taste fresh at all. Both the tuna and salmon tasted strong and fishy. My friend also said the cucumbers tasted odd and sour. As we were finishing our bowls and agreeing it did not taste great or fresh we got up and saw an employee serve himself a bowl and then spit out the tuna in a trash can telling his coworkers how disgusting the tuna tasted. All of it was super off putting and we totally agreed with him and wished I got my money back. Glad I didn't get sick. I will not be coming back, super dissapointing.
