    3.5 stars. Food is average, hard for poke bar to go wrong. The ingredients selection is also normal but nothing stands out. What stood out is the service. There's a boy there that provided exceptional services. I regretted not asking about his name. The water service, order taking are both done right and nicely. He's the reason why this place is rated above average from me.

    I came here to get quick take out and ordered the small Salmon special. It was tasty but the portion was very tiny. Not sure if I would revisit. I'm case you're wondering about the locations it's inside the mall at the food court in front of Ross.

    Located inside Westgate Mall food court, Poke Bar is pretty decent. I like that they are generous with their toppings (no extra charge for toppings that other poke houses would charge for like crabmeat, seaweed salad, pineapple, edamame, corn, etc). They also have kale (which I've never seen as an option at other places), and three different crispy toppings (I think one of them are almonds!) I wouldn't say their fish is the best (it's good enough if you're not expecting sushi-grade quality) and I wouldn't say their rice is the best (it's not fluffy sushi-grade rice but they do offer brown rice). You get so many toppings that every square inch tastes different! :)

    Reasonable price per bowl with a good variety of base, protein, toppings and sauces. This has been my go-to Poke place when I'm at West Gate Mall. It is located in the middle food court area of the mall. Starting at 9.99 for 2 proteins is actually good for me. I always go for the salmon and they are nice and soft They have the staples -- tuna, shrimp, spicy tuna, and more. They also have tofu for vegetarians. I like brown rice for my base, semi-healthy but filling. They have white rice and greens too. I would usually put only half of the available toppings just to keep it simple. I do like the option for mangoes for an additional dollar. It goes well with my choices. I also like the combination of sweet chili and ponzu sauce. Glad to have an accessible option for poke bowl in the mall at a good price.

    Delicious and excellent pricing. I think it's the best place to eat in the Westgate center food court.

    Food courts have this almost magical quality of transforming everything I love to a resounding "whatever". Since poke bowls are my go-to for a quick "healthy" meal, I GPS'd my way to the closest spot not knowing this was square in a shopping center. MEDIUM POKE BOWL (3 proteins): So much rice! And stingy with the fish :-( Never had a poke place use a melon baller for their protein. Interesting variety of toppings (kale, pineapple, corn, etc.), though they could up the quality. And their crab salad is served warm, flavorless, and dry (no mayo)??? Wat Though poke as fast food is undoubtedly wasteful (carryout containers, disposable utensils, plastic gloves, etc.), Poke Bar somehow added even MORE waste to the process by mixing their fish & sauce in paper trays and trashing each after every order. Maaaaaan, I'm not one to tout moral righteousness for the sake of environmentalism (especially after getting takeout...), but come on-- washable metal bowls aren't that hard to come by.

    Pretty but portion for a small bowl

    Stopped by here for lunch on a Sunday after church. Pretty darn good poke! located in the westgate mall food court. Usually I don't expect places in a mall food court to be that good and the food you get is overpriced compared to the quality, but this place proves one of the exceptions. I ordered a small create your own bowl. It comes with two scoops of fish and all the toppings you want. Here my thoughts on each bowl component: 1.) Brown Rice / Spring Salad Mix - pretty good base and nice they can do half half. The brown rice had a nice chew to it, spring salad seems like your typically spring salad mix from Costco (not a bad thing) 2.) seaweed salad and crab - wouldn't surprise me again if it was from Costco, but that seaweed salad is so yum, so not complaining. Crab was nice and light. 3.) salmon and scallop - cold and fresh, tasted quite yum. Only minor nit pick would be I wish they were a bit more generous with their scoops. 4.) toppings - all the toppings tasted very fresh and good. I paid extra for avocado and glad that they don't skimp on that like other places sometimes may. 5.) sauce - sweet chili - definitely recommend this sauce if you like a nice kick. A bit sweet, a nice kick, perfect complement to the goal itself.

    I'm really sad to write this review but I didn't think my bowl was very good:( I got a large bowl with white rice, 3 salmon, and 1 shrimp. I thought my rice was too hot and mushy, but I did like how they added the furikake seasoning to it. The fish itself was okay. The sauces just didn't seem to combine with the fish well. At other poke places, I usually see them mix the sauces with the fish before placing it on the rice, but they just squirted it on top of everything and it made everything taste mushy. The spicy mayo also overpowered everything but at the same time I felt like it was also kinda lacking in flavor. I do also like how they give crab salad and seaweed salad at no additional cost though. Overall I just felt like it was bland and the textures weren't right today. Service was friendly at least!

Despite this inconvenience I was wowed by the poke here. The Salmon poke here is top tier and maybe even better than Santo market. Aloha Fresh has a lot more flavors and kinds of Poke to choose from along with fresh warm musubis. I really enjoyed the poke from here because it's very melty, fatty, and doesnt have that weird fishy odor. Staff here are friendly, patient, and helpful. There is no option to sit in and dine here as the restaurant is similar to Poke House with no seating arrangements. not to worry though.because there's lots of benches around the area with shade. Ive had a lot of Poke and Aloha Fresh is one of the best ive had. However, if you're not a fan of Poke then I suggest you at least give this place a try and just keep swimming

With inflation being what it is, their food is absolutely worth the price, and they were also flexible and willing to work within our reasonable budget. I can't recommend them enough.

I suggest texting or emailing Micah or Jessica for the quickest response, as they're often busy on the truck or during service.
