If you're in Big Bear this is a must if you want some of the best poke around outside of Hawaii!!!…read moreThe moment you walk in you're greeted and the service is amazing. You first get in line and order your food and drinks while they make it. Then they'll call your name to pick it up. The ambiance is out of this world and super cool. The vibes are great and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Probably some of the best decor around at this restaurant. Now let's get to the food.. I ordered the KRAKATOA- salmon with spicy ahi and it was delicious! So fresh and clean and reminded me of being back home even though it was Big Bear. Also the island style cold brew was to die for! It has coco mac but which made the cold brew so good.. trust me give it a try if you love cold brews like me. This is a must try if you're in Big Bear, you won't get disappointed!!!

This is a go-to every time we visit Big Bear because there is nothing else like it. There's just a…read morevibe here with super friendly staff, funky music and even funkier decor. You're part of the fam as soon as you walk in through the giant shark mouth. It can be a little overwhelming for a first time visitor with its mix of regulars and first timers. There is a winding line that jumps across the main aisle when it gets long, and sometimes goes out the door on busy days. Just ask anyone and they'll help you figure it out. They all had that same experience their first time in this non-traditional order system. The bro behind the bar will invite you to order a drink while you wait in line to order your food, which you can also do at one of the kiosks after the line jump. When you get to the front, you order from one of three giant screens you scroll through to pick your food and drinks, pay with your card and wait for the staff to tell you your order has washed up on the beach. I've tried several of their bows but have settled on the Pele bowl, usually with a cucumber base and only one scoop of rice. They have beef, chicken and ahi in a wide variety of flavors, and again, if you're not sure, ask a staff member and they're happy to help you through the process. They have small waffles as a base option but I have not tried those. I'm sure they're good. There is a reason they're consistently ranked one of the top restaurants nationwide -- yes, poke on a mountain top -- unlike anywhere else you may have it.

We thought we'd have to wait hours, but arriving at 6:35 PM, and the next dining time was 7 PM. Since there was no line to get in, we saw people go up to the servers, show the 7 PM ticket at 6:40 PM, and were quickly seated anyways. Price: $48 per person. Drinks included. Parking free. I lived in Vegas for a few years, tried most of the buffets (Bacchanal, Wicked Spoon, Wynn, etc.), and gotta say. THIS BUFFET IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE BUFFET EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD. SO GOOD! 100% RECOMMEND. Why? - Price point is reasonable considering the quality of food. - Food Quality is LEGIT! Almost every item we ordered was actually delicious. Other buffets I'm used to wide variety but mediocre dishes. Each dish at this spot was legit GOOD. - Each item tasted almost as something I would willingly order at a restaurant, and enjoy - Concept is fun and refreshing. Each "station" having their set menu, with food prepped to order. I initially thought we'd have to wait a while, but we never waited more than 5 minutes in a line - Free parking. Drinks included. - Dessert was FANTASTIC Overall, 100% worth it. Not sure of the poor reviews and overall under 4 star rating, but to me this buffet is a 5/5 spot. So good. Anytime passing through Palm Springs in the future, absolutely going to stop by. Great job, Marketplace and Morongo, keep up the good work, and keep this spot fresh!

No omelette egg. Only some sashimi on top of seasoned rice plus shreded white radish. No garnishes or vegetables. Walnut and shrimp...they gave very little walnut. Shrimp taste like soggy tempura.

Low-Key Pokey Joint is easily the best poke spot I have found. I have tried many different places,…read moreand nothing compares in terms of freshness, consistency, and overall quality. They are generous with the portions so you get some bang for your buck here. The ingredients are consistently fresh, and the variety of sauces is great. Each one adds something distinct, and the staff is always ready with recommendations when I want to try new combos. Every bowl feels thoughtfully made rather than rushed. The staff is always top notch as well. They are friendly, and quick while being accurate. If you are looking for a reliable, high quality poke spot that delivers both flavor and value, this is it.

We recently moved here and this is our second time coming here! :D…read more Less stars because the male server has a rude attitude (we've been here before, so this was my second observation ). Next, they close 30 minutes before closing time- their body language, ie. Banging bowls down, will be felt if you come in around 7-3:30pm even if it's simply a to go order (this was only our second time here but I think it is important to note). I've previously worked in foods businesses too and I understand the excitement of going home after a long day, but never do I treat customers like they are a burden! That's whack. We enjoyed the quality of food, but the ambience is unfortunately ruined by the servers :(

I wouldn't say it's the most traditional (granted, it doesn't claim to be), but overall, it was decent. The Combo Fried Rice and Sticky Ribs took center stage, followed by the Poke Nachos. The Shrimp Wonton Soup fell a bit short, with some of the noodles bundled together, causing parts of it to be undercooked. As for the Salt & Pepper Fish, I personally thought it could have used a bit more salt... Service: Amazing! We sat at the bar and were waited on by an attentive person, with a great demeanor. Ambiance: Casual, modern. Parking: Ample parking. Located inside Morongo casino, which has an adjacent parking garage.

Sticky BBQ pork rib - it's really a Thai dish but excellently executed, grilled over charcoal and brushed with tangy honey bbq sauce, it's fall-off-the-bone tender and a must-get appetizer/bar bite. Shrimp fried rice - one of the best versions I've had, and that includes Din Tai Fung. It's packed with jumbo prawns and the fried rice was wokked to perfection, so full of umami and flavor. Service was also exceptionally courteous, made me feel like a VIP, even though I was sitting at the bar.

She was alone, but moved quickly and efficiently. The pricing is great - a regular bowl with 2 scoops of protein and two toppings are $12.75. However, the bowl itself was ok. It felt under seasoned and I think the culprit was the sushi rice. The sushi rice was not seasoned. Lots of sushi spots I've been to at least put vinegar in the sushi rice to give it some flavor. Since this was the base, it made the bowl bland.

TL;DR: I guesssss it's poke and I guessssss it's acai...but I KNOW it wasn't fresh and wasn't good…read more Service was nice and fast but not worth the quality of food Ordered: - Smoke bowl (1/5): Tuna had no flavor, frozen texture, and the rice was not cooked right - wet and clumpy in some areas, hard in others. Even the cucumber tasted weird - The Hippy Acai bowl (2/5): if I had to guess, it's a single pack of Sambazon with some fruits and PB drizzled on top. Not exactly bad but nothing special If you're in a bind for food, sure. Otherwise, go hang out at the train museum next door and save yourself the disappointment

Stopped by the other day on a walk…read more Service was decent, attentive staff. Very colorful inside with some decorations for the season.
