Poki One N Half

CS Technology Gaming and Entertainment

While I'm a huge fan of Poke' Bowls and the entire fusion experience I have to say that I am both impressed and disappointed at this fine eatery. On June 11th, 2022 around 5:30 PM I ordered the "Large" Bowl with 1 Scoop of Salmon, 1 Scoop of Tuna, and 2 Scoops of Albacore. The workers did a great job of assembling and tossing the raw cubed fish with the ponzu and soy sauce that I requested. Then, they assembled the rest of the bowl with Ginger, Carrot, Seaweed, Masago, and dry seaweed with sesame seeds on top of a bed of white rice. The presentation was immaculate. The service was bright and accommodating. I took my order to go and got home about 15 minutes later. This was the ONLY food I had planned to consume today so I feasted upon my nearly $18 entry that I could have got from Poke'Ria or any other location for about 13-15 but I was happy with it.. or so I thought. I had finished nearly 80% of the bowl when it hit me, beneath the lemon ponzu and soy sauce a pungent and FOUL FISHY smell. Mind you, Poke and Sushi is regularly rinsed, then frozen and then thawed and served NOT smelling fishy. According to world-renowned sushi chef Hidekazu Tojo, "a good sushi restaurant should smell like cucumber or watermelon. Sushi with high-quality fish that has been flash-frozen and properly stored will not smell fishy". and who am I to doubt Sensei Hidekazu-Sama? Well, 4 hours later I was feeling the effects, gastrointestinal pain, stomach cramps, horrible heart burn and everything else that comes with it - I had to leave the theater where I was watching the new Jurassic World movie and get a refund. The next day, today, I called and let the pleasant lady-operator know what I had encountered and what I experienced after. She relayed it to her manager and then I was told: "Our sushi is enough to serve 70 people and none of them have complained. We won't be doing anything for you. If you have a problem you can call the headquarters." which is the average response from many managers who do not want to deal with "Karens and Kevins" but unlike them I wasn't seeking a refund or free food- I wanted to let the manager know directly. It was disheartening that I have to be so critical with a place I wanted to love so badly.

My favorite place to have a poke. Yes it’s a bit pricey but the food is fresh and tasty ☺️

I get this place delivered a few times a month, been eating here a few years. Tastes amazing! Prices are meh. They've only gotten my order wrong once or twice and it's been years, so that's also great.

The prices for their Poki bowl (based on scoop of fish) is a little on the pricier side, but still good. My husband ordered the ramen which was nice having something other than Poki. Large portion size ramen and crisp-tasty meat. Both were above decent if you're looking for something quick and low key. Restaurant was very clean and well decorated.
