    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Brandon S.

    Amazing sushi. The service was quick and efficient. The ambience screams eat here and the food came out so fast and it was so delicious. Definitely been satisfying. My sushi cravings here lately.

    An unassuming small spot in a strip mall... a nice one, I'll say.. I am very familiar with the area, but had no idea about this gem until my friend suggested we meet here for lunch. I'm so glad that she did! Nice, open, and very clean... I love that there are sheets where you can check off what you'd like in your poke bowl.. made it a very easy and quick process. Friendly service and patient with questions. I got kale and zucchini noodles for my base, which I LOVE the kale noodles.. spicy salmon for my protein.. added sweet onion, furikake, a bunch of veggies--I forget lol, topped with their Hawaiian shoyu sauce (so good) and sriracha.. I devoured this VERY fresh meal. Washed it down with a black tea milk latte with boba..not too sweet.. perfect, actually. Their menu offers so much more, so I've already made plans to visit to try their apps, sushi rolls, burrittos, etc. Cannot wait to return!

    I was having a poke craving that day and this place definitely satisfied it. The servings were decently proportioned, I hate when poke spots short you on meat. The Shrimp Tempura was hot and made fresh along with the vegetables it came with. So much more to choose from that I'm sure would be great too. I'll definitely be stopping back here before i leave the area.

    Veggie poke bowl

    I ordered a veggie poke bowl with kale noodles for take out from here and honestly loved it. The ingredients were fresh and the tofu servings were generous. It was my first time trying kale noodles and if you've never had them I would 100% recommend. They were light and delicious. The whole bowl was filling in a good way. I didn't feel heavy and stuffed like I do after a carb heavy meal. I can't speak to the service and ambiance since I had it as take out but food wise would definitely get again!

    Food was so fresh and they offer so many options. The boba tea was really good as well.

    Vegetarian Create Your Own Bowl 1 Protein - tofu

    This place is awesomeeee we loved the food. My order was Poke bowl - vegetarian - white rice , zucchini noodles, tofu, cilantro, ginger, kimchi, avocado, green onions, crunchy onions, seaweed, spicy Mayo and ginger dressing. Husband got shrimp tempura and chicken, w/ almost the same toppings and same sauces. Asked for a side of spicy sauce as well. Avocado roll was very fresh. The bubble teas were great, probably the best in the Somerset area as there aren't a lot of places that offer bubble tea here. Restaurant is very clean as well. Service was very professional. Would 100% come again.

    So happy that we came across Poke Star! To start, ordering is extremely easy as they provide sheets where you can check off each item you'd like in your bowl. This makes it super simple to choose. I can honestly say this is the best Poke bowl I've ever had. The fish is extremely fresh and flavorful, the sauces are very tasty, there are great topping options and they provide generous portions. In terms of ambiance, it is definitely a more casual spot. This is a great place to run in if you need lunch on a break or you're looking for a casual date night spot. Highly recommend!

    This place just opened recently and we have gone twice so far. Both times everything has been amazing and so fresh and delish. The staff is incredible and so nice and explain the menu. They have a great variety and are happy to make your own bowl to your specific taste. Today we stopped by and got the P6, P8 and P10, cream cheese wontons and three juices and bubble tee with lychee. Everything was top notch and delish. Stop in and give It a try. Get some takeout and go to nearby colonial park for a poke sushi picnic. Our new favorite spot!

    Not hugely impressed with the variety of toppings on offer. Ordered the Create your own - 2 Protein bowl with double portion of the Beef Bulgogi but I didn't find it up to the mark. The beef was really thick and fatty not thin / shredded like Bulgogi is supposed to be and I found something a little off on the sauces I requested - specifically the Spicy Poke Sauce. On the whole it was quite meh! Wouldn't revisit.

    Worst poke bowl ever! The fish tasted watered down. The crab rangoon was light and crispy but was just cream cheese.

By far the best locations are in Edison and East Brunswick. I love that this Playa is located on my alma mater but their bowls have definitely got smaller and smaller over the years. I barely was able to get any açaí in my bowl this time. Nevertheless, I am loyal to Rutgers so I will still support this establishment when I am in the area.

    Im sorry but i have to be honest I got a nutella bowl…read more It was very messy and the fruits werent for human consumption . The bananas were way overipe.They go down as if they were mashed potatoes while the strawberries were not.They were very tart and some were pink not red.(meaning not ready to eat) They barely put any nutella in it. They were very cheap about it. Idk if this location is struggling or business aint booming but shorting customers could be a downfall. The icing on the cake is the staff working there. They hire young staff (maybe college students or just teens ) Big problem theyre lazy as hell. They dont want to work they just want to talk and be on their phones I ordered online and when i go pick up my food that was supposed to be ready 20 mins prior I get there and everyone is talking and standing around but no one got my order ready.I had to wait an additional 15 mins THIS IS FOR THE OWNER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER OR CLOSE THAT BUSINESS AND LET THEM PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE.

    This was a casual spot with mostly take out and pickup orders. There were a couple tables to sit…read moreat too. The ordering was done at the counter, and they also had an ordering tablet. The menu had mostly Hawaiian options to choose from. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I had the customizable poke bowl ($15.95). There was a number of different options to choose from with different proteins, toppings, sauces, etc. I had a base of brown rice with avocado, cucumber, sweet corn, edamame, mango, ahi tuna, spicy mayo, ginger, wasabi, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro. This was nicely done. Everything appeared fresh and it was a good size portion. I would have just liked to seen a little more ahi tuna present, but besides that, very pleasant and filling. I also had the spam musubi ($2.95) and a side of macaroni salad ($3.95). The musubi was okay. It was a little dry. There needed to be more sauce present. The macaroni salad was a heaping portion, and it was tasty. There looked like a lot of mayonnaise present, but it was not too overpowerful as some type of sugar seemed to be incorporated to balance it out. Regardless of what it was, the salad was flavorful. Will I go back? I would.

    Been here a few times. The food is typical fast 'hawaiian food'. They have the basics. It's fine…read more Katsu is good. Kaula pork is ok. Bbq stuff is fine. Loco moco is good. They tend to overcook the burger sometimes. They have saimin which is cool. Hardly any places have it out here. They dont have laulau or Portuguese sausage, but i havent found any places in jersey that serve that. Which is really sad, since i miss that the most. DONT GET THE POKÉ BOWL! They say 3 scoops, but the scoops are tiny. Each scoop had 4 pieces of fish. Thats fuxking ridiculous! All the other places I've been to use the big ice cream scoops. The poké bowl is a rip off. Just go somewhere else that will actually give you more than 4 pieces of fish per scoop. Would give 3 stars, but 2 stars because of the poké bowl. People are nice and service was good. Ps. Stop putting raw onions in your Mac salad. No good
