    Still haven't found my go-to combo yet, but I've really enjoyed what I've built the few times I've been here. The ingredients are always super fresh, and the staff is friendly and helpful every time. I usually spend around $15 for a regular portion with two proteins, which feels fair for the quality. I'll definitely keep coming back... until I don't.

    Sadly, phone did not snag a picture before the first bite. Food felt fresh, clean, and a great amount for a two protein! Half salad/half rice with double salmon and every free side item is the move! Cheers!

    Place is spacious and open

    spicy salmon, lobster Brown rice Ponzu, umami sauce Cucumber, onions, edamame corn, masago Onion, crisp, garlic, crisp, dry seaweed Forgot to add spicy mayo, but overall it was pretty good. I wish there was more variety of meat. I understand why it's simplified, but it would've been nice to choose up to at least three proteins for the price that I'm paying. I think it's just one protein too short. Other than that competitively price I would go to other places tho that have 3 instead of two protein for the price I paid

    I want to preface I am a high spice tolerant person. I eat very spicy food consistently so I consider my spice level high. I ordered medium spice and I was running to the sink feeling sick because of how spicy it was. I was chugging milk and eating ice and was also crying. The food was good quality but the portions were SMALL. We ordered a large (3 protein scoops) and only recieved two of the three choices and only about half of the sides requested. I did not finish the bowl due to how insanely spicy it was but if I would have I would have still been hungry. I did order this on DoorDash as a heads up but 0/10 for real. I would give a good score for freshness but unless you have a spice tolerance that's INSANE you can't eat here and don't come with an appetite.

    Great poke just like the Heights location. The seating area at this location looks a lot better too. Great decor, rood and nice staff.

    Poke bowl: spicy ahi and lobster

    The food was delicious and the place was clean too, but the service was a little slow. The miso soup had to flavor, it tasted like water with tofu and chives.

    For your "safety" propaganda... here we go

    **FRESH, DELICIOUS POKE HERE** THANKS TO NICK FOR BEING AMAZING. Patient, kind and helpful...it's awesome when foodies know their stuff! Cute restaurant Fresh ingredients BTW the brown rice an the kale noodles are DELICIOUS! Love it, see you soon Aloha!!

    So far this is my favorite poke bowl place in Houston... ...coming from Hawaii, I'm extremely picky with my poke bowls. Once I got over the fact that all fish here would be frozen, and nothing would compare with even the grocery store poke bowls back home I settled on a favorite. And here we are...customer service is good, not amazing. The options are great and help create a really filling meal. Will continue to visit this location as the other options for poke bowls here in Katy don't even come close.

    My creation.

    Are single-use plastics the only dine-in option? I bring my own utensils, but would love to support a Poké spot that doesn't produce so much waste.

    You can actually use the aluminum bowl for dine in! And they have reusable chopsticks. But don't poké your eye out!

    I just happened to stop by this place because I saw spam musubi being advertised in the window…read more Little did I know I would fall in love with this chain. We happened to go on Monday as well, where they had Musubi Mondays and it was only $1 per musubi! Usually $3 something, $1 was a steal. We got the spam musubi and katsu musubi; both were delicious despite the late hours.

While the food had some highlights--the sauce on…read morethe barbecue chicken was really good--I did have a few concerns about the overall experience. When I first walked in, the only front of house staff member on duty didn't acknowledge me and continued changing the trash bag for several minutes, while I was at the counter, before assisting me. There was no greeting either during my initial interaction or when I came back in to grab napkins for my order. This felt a little off in terms of customer service and I imagine it's not the experience the owner would want guests to have. The dining area was very hot, even with portable AC units running--it felt a bit like a sauna, which is why I decided to get my order to go. I also noticed the front door is quite difficult to open (there's even a sign warning you about it), which makes the first impression a bit awkward. As for the food, I was a little let down by the spam musubi, which came out soggy, but the barbecue chicken itself was tasty thanks to the sauce. I think with a few improvements--especially in customer service and comfort--the experience here could be much better. I would try again in hopes that today was just a one off experience.

Everything we had was flavorful, delicious, and all the meat was moist! I can't wait to come back and I'm sad it took me so long to find this place! Highly recommend!! Service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant felt very clean, spacious, and modern with a lot of natural light. They brought our food out to our table and gave us napkins and utensils, so we didn't have to get up and get them ourselves. Absolutely a great dining experience! The portions are also big! My bf and I each got a Hawaiian Favorite combo and couldn't finish them. The entrees are easily two servings for me, so it's a great value! The containers the food comes in are microwavable too, so extra bonus points for easy reheating! If you do manage to finish an entree in one sitting though, you will be stuffed! It wasn't mentioned on the menu, but there's steamed/sautéed cabbage under the meat. It looked a little deceiving because I thought it was just a huge pile of meat, only to find cabbage under. Thankfully, I love cabbage and appreciated that there were veggies to balance the heaviness of all the meat. That being said, there was still a lot of meat, just not as much as it looked like at first. They also give you little containers of sauce depending on which entree you get, which really enhanced the meal. If you get bbq beef or chicken, you get a delicious, sweet, Hawaiian bbq sauce. If you get the chicken katsu, you get a sauce that resembles sweet and sour. If you get a combo that has both bbq meat and chicken katsu, you get both sauces. I poured the sauce over the rice to season the plain white rice, then poured the rest on the meat even though it didn't really need it. BBQ CHICKEN: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in small to large chunks. BBQ BEEF: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in thin slices. CHICKEN KATSU: Moist! Fresh, crunchy breading! Tastes better with the sweet and sour-like sauce provided than on its own. KALBI SHORT RIBS: Delicious! Moist! Has fatty bits, unlike the bbq beef, which I really liked! Very similar, if not the same, flavor as the bbq beef. MACARONI SALAD: Delicious and flavorful! Tastes just like potato salad.

    The food was SO delicious! Tender juicy Hawaiian BBQ, rice, Mac salad, and bomb cabbage. Highly…read morerecommend

My katsu was cold and tasted like it wasn't fresh. Was given a small handful of BBQ chicken that looked like leftovers. And I couldn't even get a full scoop of rice! Place didn't have sriracha, which is basically a staple for Hawaiian BBQ. They only had Tabasco, which I can't imagine tasting good on this type of food at all. Definitely disappointed and will not be back.
