    Custom Poke Bowl with Salmon
    Tim G.

    We had an exceptional lunch here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and were helpful explaining the process of creating a bowl (or choosing one of their signature bowls from the menu. The ingredients were super fresh, beautiful, and delicious. There are some tables inside and outside, though not too many. Most folks seem to get to-go orders though, so even during the lunch rush there were some seats available. The restaurant was nice and clean both inside and out. We've had a lot of poke bowls in a lot of locations, and this definitely stood out as one of the best we've had. Definitely give them a try!

    Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. We got 2 custom poke bowls. We tried the firecracker and citrus ponzu sauces. Both were good. Nice variety of toppings though the miso pickles were too salty. Decent size portion. Prices have gone up. Outdoor seating only. Located in Blair Park at Kismet building with ample parking.

    My first time having a poké bowl and it was really good!! The firecracker bowl was delicious. Came with ahi tuna, sriracha aioli, scallions, cucumber, togorashi, sesame seeds, onion crisps, and I added on cabbage slaw, red onion, and seaweed strips... everything was on top of brown rice (you could also choose white rice, zoodles, etc). So good. Everything tasted very fresh. The land lovers bowl was great too with local chicken, pineapple teriyaki sauce, cucumber, gochujang mushrooms, pineapple, scallions, onion crisps, and added jalapeño peppers. Oh, also, both bowls were "regular" size and I thought they came with a substantial amount of food! I was very full after eating mine. The premium açaí bowl was so refreshingly delicious. I split it with my SO but honestly could have happily eaten one all to myself!! Açaí topped with banana, strawberries, blueberries, GF granola, drizzle of honey and added on almond butter. They also have some CBD infused beverages here. I would go here again if/when I'm in the area. Very fresh food and the place was super clean.

    I was so excited to hear Poké was coming to Williston. Poké is a Hawaiian dish that can have fresh raw fish, sometimes with marinated veggies, over sushi rice, pineapple, red cabbage. I love that many places today are branching out and using quinoa, veggie noodles, etc. as awesome rice substitutions for those looking to go more low carb. I ordered the Firecracker Bowl with 1/2 spicy salmon and 1/2 spicy tuna, zoodles (zucchini noodles) plus a ton of toppings. I also ordered the smoothie bowl. Both were freaking fantastic. I chose to eat the Smoothie Bowl the next day, so I froze it when I came home. The owner is really nice and staff are super friendly and helpful. They have a separate paying line for those who order online. I'll def be back.

    Seattle has a LOT of poke, so the bar was set high for this little place in Burlington. Overall, I was happy! They have lots of options to choose from and you can easily customize your bowl depending on your mood that day. We went around lunch on a weekday and it took longer than I would have liked to get the food, but the staff was so nice and I overall thought it was a good value for the amount of food we got. It's a wonderful place in summer because the majority of seating is outside. If you're going in cooler weather, I would plan I'm taking it to go as seating inside is limited. There's lots of parking nearby and it's a great, fresh addition to the same old chains that have been in the area forever.

    Crave Açaí bowl with no bananans

    These are by far the best açaí bowls I have had in New England. Great portion size, high quality toppings, and delicious. The staff is always so kind and seating outside is awesome during the summer. This is a need to go place.

    Firecracker ('ran thru the garden' with just about everything except fruit) YUM!

    Quick, easy, health conscious option with a bit of a zing to it. Recommend the zoodles.

    Excellent foods Friendly people…read moreExcellent drinks Highly recommended Wait list to be fair to everyone What else?

    We went in for dinner while visiting from out of town and this place was slammed. Luckily we were…read moreable to sit and eat at the bar top. Despite the packed house, servers were friendly and reasonably attentive, and while the food came out slow, that's to be expected. I wouldn't say it was unreasonable at all considering the volume, AND they were churning out a ton of to-go orders. No televisions in here, which I loved, and a great vibe. Tons of people just having a great time. Great non-alcoholic drink menu. About to celebrate three years of sobriety, and I truly appreciate that. The food was good-great, depending. My wife got a salad with pulled pork and I got the brisket. Both were just "fine" and the meats desperately needed sauce. The brisket was pretty dry, which was disappointing. We also split a side of the smoked mushrooms, which we thought were good, and the pasta salad, which was unfortunately quite bland and not very noteworthy at all despite using pasta from the acclaimed Gallus. Now here's the sleeper: the dry rub wings were incredible. Some of the best I've ever had! Don't miss out on these just because they're on the appetizer menú. If I came back I'd just get a double order of these bad boys. Sweet and smoky and cooked to perfection. Absolute 10/10.
