Let me start by saying I am a very regular customer - I have come once or twice a week, nearly…read moreevery week, for the past 2 or 3 years. Their food is great, & I love the poke. I would've given this place 5 stars in the past, but their recent employees' service is extremely, extremely poor. Due to other responsibilities, I am often arriving about 30mins before close. There have been several occasions where they are cleaning up already, even 30mins before closing time. This leads to certain items being cleaned up/removed from display before they close, & their go to answer is that "they dont have anymore available for the day." It happens most often with the avocado, although it can also be other ingredients. This happens too often to be true, & on a few occasions, Ive had an employee go to the back & retrieve a small amount of avocado to add to my poke bowl, which is the appropriate action to take, but demonstrates 1. theyre not actually out & are being dishonest with customers & 2. they are cleaning things up & putting them away before it's an appropriate time to do so. Additionally, there was a time my fiancé & I arrived at 6:30pm & the worker helping us was so eager to close that as they rung us up they kept asking, "anything else? Anything else?" to rush us out of the restaurant. We both felt rushed & pressured, & when they asked "anything else?" & my fiancé went to look at the drinks to consider getting one, she continued to ask "anything else?" multiple times over before he even had a chance to look at what was available. He never even had a chance to look at what was available because she wanted to rush us out. This service is extremely dissatisfying, dishonest, & lacks integrity. From someone who comes once a week for years, the service has significantly gone downhill, & I do hope this is addressed in the future by leadership.

Overall, Pono was a good find and we were satisfied with our poke bowls!

The sauce was bland with zero flavor and most importantly the fish did not smell, taste or feel fresh. I've never had an issue with any of the other poki bowls in the Bay Area. To have this location share the same name as the other poki bowls is a disgrace. I feel like this location should have their franchise revoked. Im honestly wondering if my family is going to wake up with food poisoning in the coming days. I recommend going to any of the other poki bowls around the Bay Area, but avoid this one like the plague.

I had to try the viral Poke Burger, so I hopped in my car and drove all the way to Santa Cruz and…read moreit was absolutely worth the trip! As soon as I walked in, I immediately felt the Hawaiian vibes. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the cashier was incredibly sweet and helpful. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't pre-order the burger for pickup, but I was told it's made fresh to order and available in limited quantities, which made sense. Along with the Poke Burger, I picked up a bottle of their Garlic Gurl hot sauce. Being from Gilroy, I had to give it a try! It had the perfect amount of garlic flavor with just the right level of heat--not overpowering at all. I also grabbed a Hawaiian drink from the refrigerator by the entrance. Having just returned from Hawaii, it instantly brought me back to the islands. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and inviting, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Parking was easy to find, which is always a plus. When my food arrived, I was surprised by the portion size. The Poke Burger is huge and could easily be shared between two people. While I'm personally not the biggest fan of crispy rice, the poke filling inside was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. If you've been seeing the viral Poke Burger all over social media and have been wondering if it's worth the hype, I'd say it's definitely worth checking out!

He said when he uses a public bathroom he wants it to be clean so he ensures customers get the same. Bravo! Was hungry and forgot to take photos. ‍

She was the only one in the front taking orders, making the drinks, and ringing us up at the cash register. There were some boys who were also working but they were all in the back?

I'm pretty sensitive to smells so my partner and I decided to eat outside (luckily the weather was perfect). The bowls were delicious and we also ordered a Strawberry Fruit Tea recommended by the only worker who helped us.

The staff were very friendly, and while the music was a bit loud and the decor is fairly minimal, everything was clean and well maintained. The food is made to order and clearly prepared with quality ingredients. The lumpia were excellent. I ordered them without the ranch seasoning because I find it very salty, and I'm not a fan of the accompanying dip for the same reason. Honestly, they're good enough on their own. The Cajun Parmesan wings were cooked perfectly, but I didn't get much Cajun flavor from them. I'd probably try a different wing flavor next time. The fries were great, and the ranch was even better. The Mongolian beef was another standout. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and flavorful. There were plenty of onions, which I loved. It was a little heavy on the sauce, but still very enjoyable. Prices are a bit higher than average, but the quality justifies the cost. It's a locally owned business that's definitely worth checking out and, in my opinion, much better than most restaurants in Salinas.

I ordered two vegan tacos, my spouse ordered two aloha tacos with pork, and we got Brussels sprouts (no bacon) to share. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. The chef delivered it himself and was very pleasant. Food was amazing, but two tacos AND half of the Brussels sprouts was a lot of food. These were massive dishes! That being said, we ate most of it and just had to roll ourselves home. The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but would probably be fine for someone who enjoys spice more than I do. I'll be on the lookout for this truck from now on!
