Wow -- so good. Now, I didn't get the poke, despite my unwritten rule of always ordering the thing that's in the restaurant's name if I'm visiting for the first time.

Anyway, my bowl consisted of sushi rice, Korean bbq shrimp, edamame, pickled daikon, pineapple, wasabi peas, seaweed, and marinated onion, plus a spicy mayo sauce. Holy hell, dude. The contrast of spicy with sweet and salty and umami was amazing. My bowl was perfect.
I think part of the reason why my bowl tasted so good is because I kind of let the person behind the counter recommend what I should put on it. He seemed to know more about the product than I did, and he seemed super enthusiastic about particular foods, so I just submitted and let him make my bowl. I would say to any of you who might not know exactly what you want to try asking the people who work there what they suggest! They might just suggest a magical combination. read more
