    Dat Fire Poke Bowl
    Janelle F.

    Oh my Gosh! How have I never had A Poke Bowl?! Today I had some extra time for lunch out of the office and decided to try somewhere new. I'm so glad I decided to stop here. I talked a bit with the person working and decided on a Dat fire pole bowl. Ahi tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, spicy crab, cucumber, scallions, edamame , chilli flakes, spicy House, jalapeño mix and wasabi. Once I ordered it I was in and out with my food in about five minutes. I love sushi like crazy, but today it was like trying it for the first time. The fish tasted really fresh, it had just the right amount of spiciness, and a ton of flavor. It was so filling. I couldn't even finish it. If you aren't into sushi or poke bowls they have quite a few other restaurants in the same building. Seriously though...you're missing out if you don't at least try this once. You'd be hooked I guarantee it!

    I ordered through Postmates after working a long day and I didn't want to drive anywhere but, wanted something fresh and fast. I was extremely surprised that's exactly what I got from Pok U! After getting my poke bowl of salmon, tuna and other fresh delicacies delivered fresh my curiosity to see where it was made was peaked. When I actually went in it was a little confusing as it's actually three restaurants in one which makes for great convenience but, leaves a little to figure out. I got in line and ordered at the register but, I did see there were kiosks where you can possibly skip the lines. I didn't use them because I wasn't absolutely sure how it worked. Service was still fast during a lunch rush. It's nice to see these types of restaurants sprouting up in what I remember as a kid to be mainly an industrial area of Phoenix.

    Everything about this place is amazing. They have great customer service. The food is always fresh and great. I tried the SO CAL for the very first time. It was amazing!!!! I will always return.

    Ok I tried this place for the first time today after reading some yelp reviews. First I drove up and down the street looking for it...Pok U is not listed on the sign or door. Instead it is inside a place called WTF. Which services cheese stakes etc. only way I found it was sushi was on the windows of what looked to be 2 restaurants. But when you go inside those two restaurants it's actually 1 restaurant. Way too confusing. Next, wait time was great only one person ahead of me. But that's where the good comments end. Because, I ordered a poke bowl with Crab...but it was Krab (imitation) which they put way too much, ahi tuna got 6 small pieces, and shrimp got 5 small shrimp. Also ordered seaweed salad (way too sweet and tasted like sweet vinegar, and also ordered edamame. It wasn't even so-so. And when I got home about 30 minutes later I got sick and lost it all. Would I come here again for sushi? NO. But maybe for a cheesesteak...because a neighboring tables food looked good. I think they have too many things going on and should focus on doing one type of food well instead of having it be so-so.

    I'm an avid poke salad lover. Where this located I was sketchy and since they don't just have poke I should have stopped. But I ordered it because of the toppings. I always ask for dressing on the side, I either didn't get it or it was was on the salad. Not sure if that was it or the lettuce was old. The items they put on the salad was huge. Like I had to cut the veggies to eat. I probably won't eat here again.

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

Normally their lunch sandwich special comes with fries but you can sub it out for the 3 main sides of the day. Options were corn, mashed potatoes, or broccolini. I was craving asparagus or broccolini so it was perfect for me. The greens were lightly charred but crunchy and soft at the same time. Lunch portions of the sandwich also weren't massive. The sandwich had a white fish breaded and fried. The patty was decent without being thick or oily. Good amount of tartar sauce spread on it as well. If the sandwich was any bigger then work afterwards wouldn't have been fun. Oh, also got a delicious dirty martini to pair with the food. Gin served down and it was made to perfection! Including the drink and an $8 tip the total for lunch was $48. Which isn't horrible. Been craving oysters recently so probably will be back for dinner and get an appetizer and dessert too. Good service, fresh seafood, and clean restaurant. I'll be back!

We were in town for a huge convention, and the restaurant was packed on a Monday night. Luckily, we found seats at the bar, and that turned out to be a fantastic choice.

Friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything--she really made the experience special. And the food was fantastic! Everything we had was tasty, but I especially loved the grilled Brussels sprouts. And the brownie lava cake with ice cream was absolutely delicious--the perfect way to finish the meal! I also really enjoyed the ambiance. It has that energetic downtown feel and is a great spot for sporting events, drinks, dinner, or just hanging out. There's also outdoor seating with misters, although with temperatures still over 102F at 7 p.m., most people wisely chose to dine inside where it was much cooler. A little history The Arrogant Butcher opened in 2011 at CityScape in downtown Phoenix, becoming one of restaurateur Sam Fox's early downtown Phoenix concepts under Fox Restaurant Concepts. Its location right in the heart of downtown, next to what was then US Airways Center, made it a natural destination for game nights, conventions, and downtown visitors. All in all, great downtown location, excellent service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere. It's conveniently located not far from the Sheraton, which made it an easy walk/ride for us. Highly recommend The Arrogant Butcher! And a special shoutout to Chia for taking such great care of us. Cheers!

The empanadas are SOOOO GOOD! They have a side of crema and salsa that went perfect with it. The shrimp tacos were good. The fish tacos were ok-the fish itself lacked flavor/salt. The hot sauce they put on the tacos can be overpowering so I recommend putting it on the side, especially for to-go orders. We had to scrape some off. I'd come back for shrimp tacos with sauce on the side but I'd definitely come back for the empanadas. The food was fresh and a good size. It would be great if prices were posted on the menu/truck.
