The fish tasted fresh, and the portions were massive. My friend got the shrimp and tofu bowl and really enjoyed it too. They have a lot of toppings to choose from, which I liked, and they even had purple yam, which made this poke spot stand out a little more. I also liked how the workers separated the base from the toppings and the fish, which kept everything fresh and easy to heat up if you're not able to finish the bowl in one sitting. Service was really friendly, and we were helped right away. Parking is easy since there are plenty of spots available, and there are a couple of seats inside if you want to dine in. Would definitely come back here for poke!

Their small bowl is surprisingly filling, so I can only imagine how generous the medium and large bowls are. I ordered the spicy salmon with tuna, and it was delicious! Super fresh, and the spicy salmon had so much flavor. Definitely one of my favorite poke spots! Ps: I would say parking can be a little hectic as there are other businesses but plenty of parking available!

Yama means "mountain" in Japanese. I think the name is very befitting, because once you walk in,…read moreyou will notice the mountains of sushi and sashimi the store has to offer. On the left side, you will find fridges full of premade rolls and some cooked foods. Head towards the back and you will find the sashimi counter. Pick the pieces of fish that you want and they will cut and package for you. There is a very nice Asian gentleman who works behind the sashimi counter, and he actually taught me how to spot a good piece of sashimi! The premade sushi is on a first come first serve basis, so once they sell out then it's done for the day. Here are my usual picks: California Rolls- Yama is known for this Spicy tuna Rolls- Bite sized, perfectly seasoned tuna Albacore sashimi- surprisingly, this is in the fridge, not the sashimi counter Chicken karaage- The mayo based dipping sauce is unique but delicious Salmon, yellowtail, otoro sashimi- Perfect sliced pieces of high quality fish Right now it is just grab and go. But they are expanding to the space next door to provide seating and possibly hot foods. They also have a great selection of party platters, but orders must be placed in advance. Check their website or call the store for details and availability. Pro tip: if you have a long drive home, ask for a bag of ice from the cashier to keep the food cold.

The cashier and chef both answered my question about the poke flavors and I got a poke bowl with half spicy wasabi poke and half premium fresh Hawaiian poke, with a side of seaweed salad. The quality of ingredients here is top notch the premium poke was some of the best fish I have ever had period! I love wasabi so I really enjoyed the spicy wasabi poke as well it was a great contrast to the premium fresh Hawaiian poke, I was really happy with my poke picks. One way you can tell a poke place is amazing is how good the sides and rice are, the seaweed salad was very good it tasted incredibly fresh. The rice here is amazing I could not believe how good the rice was, it was fluffy, it was warm, and it was to die for! Every time I had a bite of poke I had to follow it up with a bite of rice it was bliss! This is the closest poke I have had to an actual poke bowl in Hawaii I will be back again and again thank you for an awesome Friday afternoon Unreal Poke!

I ordered two non-premium ahi tuna (oyster sauce and ginger scallion) for $23 at soft opening. I'll go straight to it - the flavors aren't as deep as Ry's. It was like sashimi, just oily, than a traditional poke. In fact, I actually couldn't finish it, but went home and made my own sauce and added it to my plate. If the intent is to showcase how fresh the fish is, then sure I can like that, but I want deep poke flavors. Maybe I'm not really a poke connoisseur, but I subjectively think they can develop richer flavors.

They have a great variety of toppings, both standard and more unique to the traditional poke place, my favorites being their pickled radish and sprouts. I love their sweet citrus and garlic soy sauces. Service here I have never had an issue with. If you sign up for their app they give you a good amount of rewards, often times you can get a free avocado topping after stopping by here twice. The inside, although nothing super special, is clean and well-kept. I definitely would recommend stopping by here if you are looking for a good priced poke bowl!

I order two scoops, one was salmon & the other was tuna lava w/ half salad, half kelp noodles, though the kelp noodles did not taste fresh to me, something in my bowl had an old taste unfortunately. I did enjoy the texture of the noodles, everything else was good though, scoops of fish can be bigger. The Tuna Lava flavor had a mexican taco flavor twist which wasnt something I was expecting, I dont know if I enjoyed it in my poke but it was okay. Salmon was good, I enjoyed the wasabi lime sauce they offered. I came on a Wednesday afternoon and they had plenty of seating, not too packed. Place was clean and bright. Not the best poke I have had, but not the worst.

The ambience has improved tremendously and everything is so cute with a full sushi bar. They also have a greatly expanded menu and are offering many items that you won't find elsewhere. One of those that I tried is the castle tower. This is composed of 3 fired wonton wrappers each topped with blue crab, avocado slices and a little bit of red onion. Presentation is very nice and the blue crab was a generous helping. Honestly, everything was really good and I cannot wait to go back.

I waited for over 10 minutes until I finally got tired of waiting and hung up. I called back and same person pretended to be the manager but no restaurant manager would just leave a customer order hanging like that so I don't think so. I Hope the real manager sees this and investigates. The fact is that either dine in or order out, this place is always a mess. Slow waiters, or even few waiters for multiple tables, slow food prep, unorganized management and operation of dining area overall is always chaos like its everyone's first day. Little did I know same experience calling in a simple order for a California roll! Seriously? Monterey Park's Kaiba Sushi who is their competition just down Atlantic has always been very well organized even when super busy. Staff is friendly and doesn't make excuses for having too many people and not enough staff. I will not be supporting Sushi Kokoro again.

There was a little bit of a wait to get our food though because there were only two employees there and a whole bunch of customers for them to help.

Everything looked really clean inside and all the ingredients were in a refrigerated display. They were very generous with the portion sizes! I got a small bowl, but they really loaded it up. The food tasted really fresh and tasty too! 10/10 would come again

I thought the fish tasted very fresh, nicely dressed in my sauce combination, and was nicely diced.

(Unpictured) I thought it was interesting that this place also offered poke burritos, spam musubis, and to-go plates of sushi rolls! I'll definitely have to come back to try those out.
