    WAY EXPIRED CHIPS! SICK!

    My son usually goes here and I usually go somewhere else because I don't like spicy hot food; however, this time I heard they had a new addition to the menu so I went in. I asked them if the new Huli Huli Chicken was spicy hot and they said no, it was sweet. So, we purchased the chicken dish, 2 bags of chips, and a cookie for takeout. When we arrived back home, the Chicken was spicy hot so I threw it out!!! Sooooo, they lied to me to make a sale. I shook my head and said, "At least I have the chips". I opened the bag and examined the maker of the chips. I was instantly appalled by seeing an expiration date of December 16, 2025 (It is February 23 today!)!!!! Also, my son yesterday bought 2 Musubis and 2 Yuzu Ponzu Salmon dishes and the 2 Musubis were going to expire that same day. This restaurant is right by Coronado High School so just imagine the expired crap they are throwing at our kids! NEVER AGAIN!

    Poke Your Way Regular - Ahi Tuna
    Angelica L.

    Overall: 3.5/5 (dine in) We came around 11:30 AM to order lunch and they didn't have a lot of items that we wanted. They didn't have kale noodles, salad, cilantro, or salmon. If a store is going to open at 11 AM, I expect the advertised food to be available. The food should be prepped before opening or the night before. It's not a good business model to not have - say - salmon which is a huge part of the menu, especially if you're a poke place. Poke Your Way Regular: We got a regular bowl with 2 scoops of ahi tuna since there were no other proteins we wanted. You can choose your base, mix-ins, toppings, and sauces. For the base, since they didn't have kale noodles or salad, we got half white rice and half brown rice. The rice was really good, especially the brown rice since it wasn't dry at all. For the mix-ins, we got cucumbers, sweet onions, edamame, pineapple, mango, & mandarin orange. The fruits gave the bowl a delicious sweetness that went well with the ahi tuna. For the sauces, we got umami shoyu, sweet shoyu, and a little bit of the spicy serrano aioli. The flavors are what made the bowl really good because the ahi tuna wasn't that fresh. For the toppings, we got surimi (crab) salad, masago, green onions, pickled ginger, wasabi, & furikake. For the crunch, we got onion crisps, garlic crisps, & shredded nori. Everything went well together. If you're not that hungry or eat a little for lunch, you can split this bowl with someone else.

    Service was extremely slow. The first night I went they were out of everything so I said I'd come back: went today and horrible. Tuna was fishy. Avocado rock solid. One girl working and it was not sanitary. Stay clear.

    The food is good, but I recommend going in and ordering in person. Under no circumstances should you order delivery. They are perpetually out of items and will not notify you if you order delivery. I ordered the keto bowl which is supposed to have cauliflower rice, mixed greens, avocado, surimi salad, tuna, Serrano aioli, ginger, and seaweed. When my bowl arrived it had plain white rice instead of cauliflower, no mixed greens, no avocado, no ginger, and no surimi. It was basically white rice, tuna, and seaweed with barely any aioli. But they still charged me the extra cost for a "limited time" bowl. Not even a call to say they were out of anything or to check if substitutions were okay or if I wanted to change my order.

    My poke adventure took me to this place on the west side. It's right across the street from whole foods, but you can easily miss the sign because the tree branches in the front need trimming. Anyway, this place is fantastic!! The scoops were a bit better!!! They have options on the board, or you can create your poke bowl! What I really love about this place was the fact that they had Hawaiian Sun and SPAM MUSUBI!! Oh, if you're from Hawaii, you would know!! I got a Hawaiian sun, and it was amazing. I haven't had one in over two years. Anyways, if you're a poke lover, definitely try them out!! If you're on the east side, make the trip. It's worth it!!

    This is the ahi tuna bowl. Super yum

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place. Its good! The fish is okay too and the prices are decent. The service was awesome and the vibes are like brunch vibes with a lot of sunshine!

    This is what I got instead of the California Roll Pressed Sushi

    Ordered twice on Uber eats in the same date. The first time, the California roll pressed sushi was missing, so I ordered the missing items again... I have no idea what they sent, but it's for sure not what i ordered. this is not the first time I have had issues with this location. either if I go in person or order via Uber there is always something wrong with my order. Never ordering from there ever again.

    if you like eating your food in the freezer then this is the place to be! it was soooo cold in there that it was super uncomfortable to finish our food. the food on the other hand was great! we enjoyed it and thought the ingredients were very fresh! would order take out next time.

    One of my new favorite places in town! I was worried that a regular sized bowl wouldn't be satisfying (I eat a lot! Haha) but it was stuffed by the end of my meal. The raw fish tasted very good, and all the ingredients seemed very fresh. There's a TON of options available to customize your order, so I'm definitely coming back to try more! Also the service was good, they were great at explaining everything and very friendly. The only reason I don't give this place 5 starts is because of all the plastic they use even for dine in. I wish they at least had compostable or cardboard bows instead.

    Located right beside the Golds Gym on Tierra Este for $8.96 you get one base, two scoops of…read moreprotein, veggies, toppings and sauce. I haven't had a poke bowl in El Paso ever so when I found this one after the gym I wanted to check it out. The menu clearly lists which proteins are cooked and which are raw. I ordered brown rice as the base and then their spicy og tuna and og tuna, topped with my usual toppings except added some mango and kale since they had it. The only downside was the protein scoops were the tiniest scoops in the whole wide world and the staff was very stingy with everything that went in the bowl even the veggies. The sauce selection was pretty good as there was a few to try. It's a really bright building within indoor and outdoor seating and very clean. However, They give you a punch card so after 10 trips you get. one free.

    My order was to go…read more Small - one base, 2 proteins White rice, OG tuna, salmon Ponzu & house sauce Edemame Cucumber Seaweed salad Masago Avocado Crispy onion Furikake I was like what is OG tuna? He explained to me it was a tribute to how it would taste in Hawaii. Interesting, I thought, since I moved to the area from Hawaii. He let me sample it and wow it was marinated in some great flavoring. I also saw they had a fridge of pressed juice. I'm a sucker for healthy juice. I picked the charcoal lemonade. There were about 8 different flavored juices in the fridge. This place is good. The bowl was tasty the whole way through.
