The model is a build your own bowl concept. I ended up building a regular sized bowl with tuna, salmon, and shrimp. By the time it was complete - I gave myself the title of chef. After I sat, I realized that I just made a new friend in Hoki Poki. The food was delicious! As I mentioned, the place is small. It's quiet / quaint / and the staff is open to provide suggestions and recommendations. I love this place!!! (I may have went for dinner 2 nights in a row)

That said, it was reasonably priced for a poke bowl compared to many other places. I made it in before the rush, felt bad for the gentleman behind the counter he was the only one working and making bowls and drinks because they literally do it all. They have mochi ice cream, macarons, bubble tea, and poke bowls. I like the fact that to help funnel the rush they have a paper you fill out with all the options/toppings that you just hand to him when done and that's how you place the order for the bowl. So it was quick and easy to do. The fact that a bunch of people (not just students) came in right after my order lets me know it is a popular spot. All that to say I enjoyed my bowl as well. I got the two protein bowl and chose salmon and spicy tuna. With all the toppings and it was delicious. Definitely will go back if in the area.

I got the Bulgogi bento, and all of it was just okay. The edamame was actively kind of flavorless, the bulgogi was sweeter than I would prefer with way more veggies than actual meat, and everything was just kind of alright rather than standout. Bf generally liked his sushi but said he'd gotten better elsewhere. The reason I bump this to 4 star instead of 3 is due to the waitress bringing out two additional dishes for free to our group. These two were generally popular among the group, though I personally didn't like them. I don't think it was gross or anything, but I felt it was average for what I'm used to.

Saw Genji Sushi pop up on Uber Eats. Turns out it's located inside WholeFoods!…read more For grocery store sushi, Genji is definitely one of the better brands that I've tried. The Salmon sushi set was fresh. Of course it's not the highest quality salmon, but for the convenience and price, it's at the level that I'd expect. However, the poke bowls were definitely the standout to me. The price and taste are both similar to that of several Poke restaurants I've been to, except you can just grab and go here. The sauces were flavorful, ingredients were fresh, and rice was cooked well (although slightly too vinegary).

Sushi Spot is part of a food court of sorts, all Asian cuisines, yet the warm wood chairs give it a very different feel than mall food courts. We ordered from a cool and up to date touch screen. Luckily one of my friends knew to get miso soup to go along ; it's a nice counterpoint, especially when the AC is going strong. We did not have long to look around before our order was ready. My friends tried to help me with the chopsticks, but luckily forks are available. We got a California Roll, a Dragon Roll and a Crunch Roll- I think, check photo below. All were delicious, but the Crunch Roll was possibly my favorite. Don't miss this if you are in the area!

We ended up getting two matcha drinks along with a mango and match softserve. the drinks along with the matcha soft serve hit the spot on the warm texas day. The soft serve was really really good, the slight bitterness alongside the sweet ice cream was a perfect blend. One thing i didn't like about this place was that it was really hot/humid inside. It felt like the AC wasn't on, or it was broken. In texas, you definitely need to have running AC.

Located in Richardson on the NE corner of E Arapaho and N Plano Rd, this location of Nora Asian Fresh is nestled between Best Donuts and a Nails & Spa. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, this franchise has 15 locations in Arizona and 3 in Texas (Richardson, Plano, Austin). I'm not sure how long this location has been opened, but the very small shoppe corner that they're in appears to dated and doesn't scream "come have dine here". But as the old adage goes, looks can be deceiving. The dining area is simple yet inviting with the unique wood like vertical panels filling the entire far wall. There are no booths, just table and chair throughout. You place your order at the counter using the large digital menu on the wall. After placing your order you can help yourself to their drink station then pick your table. They will soon bring your meals to your table. As noted in their name, Nora Asian Fresh prides themselves on making everything fresh daily. I saw the young lady who was taking orders in the back making dumplings when I went to ask for take out containers. Their menu provides a nice mix of "fusion" dishes which really just means they have a little bit of everything. Their appetizer menu includes such items as eggrolls, edamame, dumplings, jalapeno poppers and squid salad just to name some. Their Bowl meals which come with steamed rice include orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, broccoli beef, pork katsu with curry, teriyaki salmon as well as poke or unagi bowls. On the Ramen & Asian list are miso, tonkotsu or seafood ramen, fried rice, chow mein chicken, chicken biryani, pad thai and Malaysian noodle. Finally there's a long list about 30 different sushi rolls. Jerry and J ordered the Orange Chicken Bowl. Katie tried the chicken fried rice. Jeanne got the Pad Thai and I tried the Malaysian Noodle (of course). We also tried their chicken egg rolls and chicken dumplings. Egg rolls and dumplings: Both were a tad overcooked and their skins were just a little too dry and crunchy. They should've been taken out of the fryer about 30 seconds earlier. The fillings were delicious and they were served with dipping sauces. Orange Chicken Bowl: Presentation was nice with fresh boiled broccoli in a large bowl. Both said it was good. J said "It was pretty good best I've had in a while. It wasn't too sweet and had good flavor." I tried some and I agreed. It was overly battered like some places like to make it and the taste on it was delicious. Not overly sweet and was even a little tart. Yom Yom Yom. It was a large portion, but J finished the entire bowl. Jerry and the rest of us had enough for another meal. Chicken fried rice: I didn't get to taste, but it looked good. Katie like everything about it except the way the chicken was cooked. Note that Katie is very particular about her the way she wants her chicken cooked. Also a large portion. Pad Thai: Noodles, shredded carrots, green onions tossed in a wok and garnished with fresh bean sprouts and crushed peanuts, Jeanne enjoyed it but was surprised they didn't ask how spicy she wanted it. Malaysian Noodles: I guessed from the photos in the menu that this was Char Kway Teow and I was right. It is a popular Malaysian stir-fried noodle dish using flat rice noodles. Their cook did an excellent job. It had a nice smoky with a savory sweet taste. It is tossed in a wok with eggs, bean sprouts, chives and in my case, shrimp. It was outstanding! Yom Yom Yom Yom. There are many other "Malaysian" dishes, but if you have to choose only one to put on your menu, this would be a good choice and they do it quite well. Personally I could eat there every week especially since they have so many other dishes to sample. But unfortunately I live 639 miles away. Thanks for a nice lunch Nora!

I'd like to start by saying this is some of my favorite gyoza I've ever had, including when I visited Japan. This is a must get. The sauce was delightful, the outside was perfect with a crunchy bottom and soft top, and the filling was delicious. Well worth $7. My bf got some calamari ring tempura, which was fine but we got a small portion compared to when we usually get calamari. There was only like 3 big rings and 2 small on the plate. I also got a Gyu sushi to try. Was it worth $4.50? Maybe, maybe not but I enjoyed it and it was a much higher quality than the beef sushi at say Kura. Now my Beef Yakisoba was questionable honestly. Smaller portion than I'm used to, the beef tasted awkwardly like hamburg and was chewy, and the sauce it was stir fried in was really sweet and thick, almost like honey. Someone might like it but for $18 it wasn't what I expected and wasn't to my tastes Bf got a Charashi bowl for $25 and stated it was mid as expected for the price. I think we would return, but IMO our food was a mixed bag.
