    Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins)
    Lizzie D.

    Naomi was star of the day. She was extremely friendly especially because we arrived closer to closing time, and I know workers usually just want to leave. She was amazing. The poke bowl itself was okay, not the best I've had in terms of quality but it was still a decent bowl. I would skip the seaweed salad.

    Great, fresh poke with a nice variety of toppings/sides. The only issue is that the scoop portion is actually abysmal lol. I'm pretty sure I counted a total of 4 pieces of ahi tuna in my large bowl. My bowl was also 70% rice and 30% salad for my base. Besides the scoop portions and insane amount of rice, everything tasted great. I'll be back for lunch again.

    First time visiting and trying poke. First impression were it was a clean, fresh space and we were greeted by the staff as we entered. Located walking distance from ASU. Ordered poke bowls to eat during lunch time. They offer hot meals options as well. We ordered at the counter and we were able to customize our bowls. It was my first time trying a poke restaurant I ordered from the menu the #2 Yuzu Ponzu Salmon and my friend made her own bowl. My only recommendation on my part for next time is to add more sauce if you plan to add only 1 type of sauce because I ordered medium amount and it needed more sauce especially if you like every bite to have sauce. You have the option to add the amount of sauce in mild, medium or heavy from.

    I grabbed dinner from here shortly before they closed on a Friday night and it was delicious. My cashier Ash was so kind and suggested a sauce option for me when I asked, and it was incredible. The place was closing soon, so it was pretty empty, and the service was very fast. She even offered a free musubi which was tasty. The place itself is small and only seats 21 people, so if you go, I'd recommend going in a small group or eating outside. If you want fresh poke to cool you down while not feeling weighed down, this is the spot.

    I love finding hidden gems like this. It is a small, quiet spot that is perfect for getting some work done while grabbing lunch or a quick bite. The staff made the experience even better. Isabelle was amazing. She made being a new customer feel so easy. She explained the process in detail and gave thoughtful recommendations based on what I was craving. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure the store looked clean and welcoming, which really made a difference. Nick brought great energy with his friendly attitude and set the perfect vibe with his music choices. I walked in not really sure what to expect and now I absolutely love it. Definitely worth checking out if you have some downtime.

    SO GOOD EVERY TIME. Obviously not traditional poke, but honestly I've found myself preferring this to the traditional version sometimes. The staff here are always very friendly and scoop HEAVY. The restaurant has always been clean when I visit even during heavy traffic hours. I love Pokeworks.

    What I got and couldn't grub on

    So, I haven't had Pokeworks for quite some time. My friends and I decided to go today and half of them had never tried it before so I hyped you guys up so bad, right. But when we got our food it was actually terrible. I've had Pokeworks many times and it's like my favorite...I have the app and everything so I know what it's supposed to taste and LOOK like. The Mac was oddly dry this time and had 0 flavor and the lump some of salad we got was flavorless as well. Like pasture animal food...Then the chicken like come on now. It was COLD and there was barely any on any of our plates and the chicken wasn't even the right chicken that went on the plate... It was disgusting. You'd expect the workers to tell us beforehand if there wasn't anymore chicken for the HULI HULI CHICKEN plate? They did not. They only told me about the drinks being out of stock because I went to the app, saw them gone, and asked on my own behalf. The customer service was bad. I am not the type to leave bad reviews at all but I'm just very disappointed. I literally left a good review on Google like 2 years ago of this place.

    Accidentally stopped by because I wanted Asian food and the other place I was planned to go was closed unexpectedly. It seems like they were busy with online lunch orders which is great for them. Even though they got many orders, they were quick to help me. The bowl is huge and they offer so many different kinds of toppings. I love the seaweed. I could not remember the name but I could not find it at any other poke places. Fish and rice are ok.

    Seen this place before and my girlfriend decided we should try it. No regrets! The poke we got was amazing. It's Tempe next to ASU so parking sucks but if you do find a spot, I recommend it. $12 a bowl of fresh healthy ingredients is always a must even more with the variety of choices to meet your tastes and likes. They were playing One Piece on the lobby TV though so that gets negative points from me

Huge thanks to the management and ownership for genuinely caring about their guests it really shows. A special shoutout to my waitress, Kaitlyn. She was an absolute pleasure and made the experience even better. I had the HULA'S Mai Tai, crispy coconut shrimp rolls, and fried sweet plantains. The Mai Tai and shrimp rolls were my favorites! As someone with tropical roots, I know good plantains. While they're not quite like the Caribbean, they definitely satisfied my tropical craving. The highlight of my visit was being surprised with a birthday ice cream sundae and a candle it was such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be back to try the tacos and the Arizona-brewed IPA. Thank you, HULA'S, for turning my first impression into a great one!

High and low tables and self serve drinks. There was also a sauce table. My husband ordered the BBQ Beef plate with double Mac salad. Not sure what the cashier heard but when we checked the plate, it had sautéed cabbage instead of extra mac. Brought it to the cashiers attention and she apologized and said that was her fault. She provided another scoop. My husband said it wasn't bad and he knows his teriyaki. He did say that the extra teriyaki sauce I got helped as it was slightly dry. They also gave a lot of the bbq meat. He ran out of rice so I gave him some of mine . I ordered an Aloha Plate Combo which is a 2 choice plate from a set list and toss salad instead of mac. I got the Shrimp & Island Fire Chicken. The shrimp was okay, panko fried. The island fire chicken was a sautéed chicken with onions in a spicy sauce. It was an okay plate, nothing that really wowed. There was so much sauce on the chicken, it was hard to tell how much chicken there actually was. I also ordered 2 spam musubi for the plane as we had an early flight the next day. The rice was dry so the musubi kind of fell apart. It was recommended to eat wirh the Katsu sauce so I had a small cup in the container. It was a lot better with the sauce. Overall, if we ever do go again, I would pick something else for myself however it is a limited menu. It would be difficult for them to compete with Panda Express 3 doors down.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Hawaiian Bros 4445 E Thomas Road Phoenix 85018 It was lunch time and companion and I were passing by and decided to stop. This is a relatively new store with a new concept. I enjoy good Hawaiian food if it is authentic as served in the islands. The most common is called the plate lunch. In Hawaii it consists of your protein, and usually 2 scoops of potato salad and a scoop of macaroni salad. Not exactly the right meal for a carb conscious person, but definitely a tasty meal. On entering this store we immediately noticed that there was no place to order from. Instead, there were large computer screens with items you could select from. While I am not from the modern generation that is fully computer literate, I had no problem figuring it out and ordering. I ordered the Kilauea Chicken Classic and a bottle of water. Companion ordered the Molokai Chicken Classic and a Coke Zero. Everything in the place is made for easy cleaning and non destructivity. The chairs are made of metal and are one size fits all. Unfortunately, they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in and if your rear appendage is slightly on the larger side it will not fit in any way and you will be left sitting on the edge of the chair. In due course our food arrived in plastic boxes. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice if they had been marked so we knew which was which. Because the flavors were so similar it took a bit of time to figure out the foods. The Kilauea Chicken was O.K. but nothing to write home about. It came on a bed of rice along with a ball of rice and some macaroni salad that was great. Creamy and made like that served in the islands. The Molokai Chicken bordered on inedible. It was so overcooked that I had to stop and buy toothpicks on my way to remove the remnants from my teeth. Once again, it was served over rice with a ball of rice and the same, excellent macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was the best part of the meal! Serving protein over rice and then adding another ball of rice is ridiculous. 2 Stars
