Poke - Carson

First timer here. Thank goodness my expectations was lower therefore I wasn't totally disappointed. The poke was fresh and was very bland. I'm from Hawaii, so I prefer the traditional poke style. Two stars because the service was friendly.

I’ve been to one of these locations closer to home but stopped by since i work kind of close to this location. The poke was ok, but i did notice that the milk tea i ordered was out. The staff gave me thai tea to replace my choice of drink. This kind of made me question the freshness of the food, but I have been really craving some poke for a while. I noticed that the drinks did not taste fresh. They taste have been sitting in those canisters for days. I wouldn’t order from here unless You’re really starving.

It did have a fishy smell when myself and some friends walked through. We still gave it a try tho. We got home to eat. Unfortunately, the poke bowl did not taste fresh at all and there was no flavor to it. We end up tossing our bowls in the trash and had to go back out to go get something else to eat

I was craving poke, and I found the parking situation a bit challenging. It's best to park near the Ralph's in the large parking lot, as there isn't much available in the area. However, the restaurant was clean enough that I would consider coming back.

I’ve seen a lot of comments about the fish being old and the restaurant having an unpleasant smell. I've been coming here since it opened, and I have to say, it does have a fishy odor when you walk in and can feel a bit stuffy. However, my bowls have always been fresh and tasty. I usually order tuna and spicy tuna, and the servers are always very friendly. I tend to place my order quickly, almost like a factory line! Given how long I’ve been coming here and the frequency with which I order—about three times a month—I’m consistently impressed with the quality of the food and the service. I do recognize that they occasionally run out of items like avocado or certain proteins, but that doesn’t bother me. I’d much prefer them to use fresh ingredients instead of overstocking and serving items that have been sitting around for days! And don’t forget my #6 sauce, extra spicy, please!
