    Future Christina, stick to the poke, skip the drink. I'm not a huge drink person, but I took a chance since I love interesting lemonade type drinks. This wasn't my favorite so I'd skip next time, but this place still deserves five stars for the poke. The poke bowls are amazing. I got a large size with two scoops of salmon. Next time I'd sub the pickled radish for cilantro (the pickled juices dominated as a flavor when I got lower in my dish). The mushroom was fantastic and they are not stingy with any toppings. The avocado and masago are always a good choice. My bowl was massive as you can see in the picture. On a Tuesday at lunch there was tons of seating available and nobody in line. We were walking so I can't comment on parking, but there are some metered street parking in front. Definitely allocate time for parking though. It's bright and clean. We sat at the counter facing outside and got to watch people walk by. Definitely an awesome place to grab a quick bite.

    Yesterday my friend Chris and I decided to stop here before I headed home for his lunch. He decided to get a poke bowl with tuna I believe as well as edamame, pickled veggies, sushi rice and some type of sauce on top. The inside is very vibrant and feels like you are stepping into a Hawaiian restaurant. All the fish looked so fresh Dash and they had two different types of rice. Definitely need to stop here myself the next time and get some food all the pickled veggies looked very yummy as well. 10 out of 10 Definitely recommend this restaurant for a quick bite to eat.

    OVER THE RAINBOW BOWL.. very good! Lots to choose from

    I have been going to Pacific Counter for a few years now when I find myself in the downtown area of St Pete on Central Ave. I feel healthy when I eat Poke, and I will go out of my way for it if it's really rated high on Yelp. PC was one such place. Almost 5 stars, I had to check it out. It's a long narrow restaurant, wth seating up front and single tables all the way to the rear, as well as picnic tables outside to enjoy the weather and people watch. The staff always greets you with alacrity, and are very helpful wth menu items. You can create your own poke bowl with tons of selections, or choose carefully crafted bowls from PC's menu. I usually order one of thier set bowls. They are incredible. My only wish is that they had quinoa for a base ingredient :( However, I get brown rice and mesclun mix and it's really fresh and great. I usually get a salmon and tuna mixed bowl, and the fish quality is exceptional, up there wth the greatest poke places in SoFlo. The restaurant also offers a few hot dog selections, that I've been dying to try out, but no room after an enormous poke bowl. Next visit I'm going to try the Kimchi Dog!! It's a very active part of the city during lunch, so there's always foot traffic to watch. PC does catering, and they are popular in the area. I have used them for a catering event in St Pete and it was excellent quality and delivered on time. People in St Pete know this place if you know Poke! This place is consistently good, and I eat here whenever I get the chance. I recommend.

    Fast, healthy-feeling meal. Fresh fish with good texture, quality ingredients, and excellent portions. Impressive place, and there are plenty of decent seating spots. I'll definitely be back. Parking can be hard to find, though.

    LITTLE BYO BOWL (16oz) SPICY SAMON

    As you step inside, you're greeted with a warm "aloha." It was my first visit, and I wasn't sure how to order. They offer both sweet and savory options. I created my own bowl with sticky rice, greens, and spicy salmon as the protein, along with a few other toppings. It was delicious! However, I wish they would mix all the ingredients together, not just the protein with the sauce, as the bowl was a bit small and the rice very sticky. I also tried the Spamusubi, a Hawaiian snack. It was okay, but the ratio of rice to spam felt unbalanced, lacking in protein. Overall, it was a nice spot for a fresh poke bowl. Located in downtown St. Pete, it's always pleasant to take a walk around after dinner.

    Matsubi

    Fresh, flavorful and friendly! The matsubi is sweet, savory, and packs a slight marinades punch!

    THIS is just what I needed today! Tuna, avacado, scallions, cilantro, furikake, and garlic crisps on a bed of totally fresh mixed greens. Loved that the avocado lime aioli was on the side. EVERYTHING was so fresh, so tasty! Thank you, Pacific Counter!

    4 stars for a nice poke bowl on St Petersburg! Our first visit was a couple years ago. When we visited this time we got a create your own bowl for $14. You get to choose two proteins and 5 toppings. You can also opt for two different bases, we got noodles with sushi rice. They also let you add as many crunchy toppings at the end that you would like. Not sure if this is new but they have boba tea, we ordered a thai tea with chewy boba for $7. The Thai tea itself tasted more like a powder mix and it did have a lot of ice in it. The boba itself was sweet, chewy and perfect! The space is cute with bright colors, staff was friendly and put our bowl together quickly. All and all a great spot if you're feeling like a poke bowl!

    If you haven't tried poke, try this place! Also, if you love poke, try this place! This is some of the best poke I have had. Some things that make them the best include their variety of fresh mix ins, proteins and sauces. I don't go to downtown St. Pete a lot but I was a few blocks away for work recently so I knew exactly where I was going for lunch. They have a couple suggested combinations but those are all large bowls with two proteins. The smaller bowl with one protein is big enough for me. The nice thing is that even if you have one protein, you can still choose two bases. I got the noodles and brown rice. The noodles are yumny and I love the texture of brown rice. I like the ring of fire bowl so for the smaller bowl I basically went with most of the same ingredients (spicy tuna, edamame, cucumbers, fire sauce, crunchy garlic) . I also added the radish sprouts because they are delicious and add a little bite. Also, because it was 420 they had a special CBD sauce the server also told me about so I tried that too (yum.) I got it my bowl to go and brought it back to the office. I've eaten here before and it is nice and clean. There is also outside seating. Other items on the menu are various tasty beverages, boba teas, and Dole whips! I recommend visiting these nice people because they do a great job!

    DOLE WHIP CUP

    FB sent me a link for buy one bowl, get 1 half off so we finally tried their bowls. First of all, the person making our bowls was pretty clueless. They couldn't identify what anything was, and it was pretty annoying. I think these items need to be better labeled which they are not. They don't give you a lot of protein with these bowls and about 1/2 of the bowl is the base - lettuce, rice, or noodles or pick two and get half of each. You also pick one protein or two and get 1/2 as well. I picked tuna and salmon. In addition, I picked my toppings and I believe it was a lime aioli. I just didn't love this bowl and have definitely had better. I'd stick with the Dole Whip here. That's probably about it. Price even with buy 1, get 1 half off was about $25. I don't think it's worth it at all.

    Food was amazing! Went at lunch and they were understaffed resulting in a bit of a wait. However, even with the weight I'll be back.

    This place was so unassuming in an older strip mall, but don't be fooled. The service was…read moreresponsive and friendly and the food, incredible! We ordered shrimp hibachi and a poke bowl and both were fresh and amazing. Obviousness made when we ordered them, so the wait on the hibachi was a few minutes, but worth it. It's obvious there are regulars there and we knew the first bite we got a hidden gem. Leftover hibachi the next day was even better. So take some home or order two!!!! Really amazing.

    Was recommended to us by my wife's friend. Was greeted by kind mannered staff. They briefly went…read moreover the menu and said we can sit where we like. They had a small condiment/salad bar area in the front of the store. The menu was lengthy. They had many different food items to offer from. I went with the Pho and my wife ordered the bun bo hue. My pho was very average. Just from the appearance it's seemed bland. You can only select two meat toppings on it so I went with the steak and the flank. The noodles were slightly undercooked as well. Broth was also pretty bland too and not a lot of plants in the it. They only had one bowl size you can choose from as well which seemed overpriced at about $14.95. My wife said her bun bo hue was good. I tried a little bit and the noodle was much softer than mine. Overall the food wasn't as impressive as some of the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. I think they should add tendon, tripe, and meatball to their pho without the additional charge. Definitely needs more plants such as green onion, regular onion, cilantro in the pho. The broth would also benefit from some extra spices. Having two bowl sizes priced differently would be a huge plus as well.
