Delicious & Fairly Priced Poke
My experience at this restaurant was consistently positive, especially regarding the food. The poke bowls are delicious and always fresh, offering great flavor without being overwhelming. I particularly enjoyed the build-your-own option, with plenty of sauce. The Spam musubis are also a hit, having tried the classic, fried, and spicy versions. It's a family-owned and operated establishment, which adds to the appeal and makes it a place I'm happy to support. While it's perfect for takeout, I sometimes dine in for lunch, though it's worth noting there isn't a ton of seating. The price is also very fair.

Spam Musubi Perfection with Great Service
My first experience with the Spam Musubi w egg was really good, though there were bits of egg shell left inside ☹️. However, the flavor was immaculate and the service was outstanding, which encouraged me to give them another try. On my return visit today (8/1/25), the Spam Musubi w egg was perfect – no egg shells this time, and it was super fresh and tasty. This place is now my new go-to. They also offer a wide selection of foods, and I'm excited to try something new on my next visit ☺️.

Favorite Lunch Spot!
My favorite spot to stop by on my lunch break! It's a cute little shop by the City Hall building in SF. The owners and workers are always kind, patient, and welcoming. I’ve tried the spicy tuna bowl ($11 ish dollars) and the seafood poke bowl ($12. 50) with honey mayo tempura and scallops. The portions are great and the toppings and sauces are hefty. I love this spot and couldn’t recommend them more if you’re looking for a spot that’s delicious and decently priced!

Incorrect Orders Received
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to incorrect orders. I ordered avocado and tiny eggs for toppings, but instead received cream cheese. This wasn't an isolated incident, as a colleague also did not receive what they ordered. The food quality was rated low (2/5), while the service received a 3/5. The atmosphere was rated higher at 4/5.

Mixed Experience: Good Service, Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the service was very nice, the food quality was disappointing, especially considering the price. The nigiri special, priced at $18 for six pieces, was just edible, and the ginger touching one of the pieces ruined its flavor. The accompanying miso soup was served lukewarm, making it unenjoyable. The seaweed salad, at $6, was syrupy and lacked freshness. The highlight of the meal was the Asian Spam Musubi, and the service from the lady who attended us was excellent. However, the overall vibe was negatively impacted by the owners' child watching loud cartoons on his iPad in the corner; headphones would have been a good idea to maintain a pleasant atmosphere.

Yummy Tuna Bowl for a Great Price!
My experience was really yummy! I got a VERY big bowl with avocado, lots of veggies, seaweed salad, and lots of yummy tuna. The price was super good for $11. The staff was friendly, and I definitely will be coming back! There is also some limited seating but not much.

Invisible Server, Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I felt invisible to the server and had to wait for over 40 minutes for my poke bowl. This long waiting time significantly impacted my dining experience.

Fantastic Food, Affordable Prices!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I've tried many of their options, and not a single thing was short of excellent. Everything is fresh, and the people working there are kind. To top that off, the prices are on the more affordable side, making this place one of my favorites!

Disappointing Takeout Experience
I ordered takeout from this place via Uber Eats, and unfortunately, the food was quite bad. It was some of the lowest quality I've eaten in a while. The rice was a strange texture, mushy and undercooked simultaneously. The katsu was very thin, making it difficult to identify the meat. The siu mai were tiny, much smaller than pictured, and mushy with an unclear filling. I regretted my order.
