Fresh Options for a Quick Bite
My experience at this restaurant was great for a quick bite. I appreciate the variety of protein and topping options, and the food was consistently fresh. The service and food both received a 5-star rating.

Ridiculous Fees and Poor Quality
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They charged me $1 for extra avocado, which is fine, but then refused to accept my card for a $10 minimum purchase. This business practice is ridiculous. The quality of the food was poor, and the customer service was lacking. I don't believe places like this belong in San Diego.

Quality Dropped, Not Recommended
I used to frequent this place, but the quality has dropped significantly. The fish smells bad, and the poke portions are very small compared to before. I no longer recommend this place!

A Must-Visit Poke Spot in San Diego
This place, though small, is a must-visit every time I come to San Diego. The poke bowls are generous and packed with freshly marinated fish. The price is absolutely fair for the quality and quantity. Highly recommended!

Terrible Food and Missing Items
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food quality was poor; the poke tasted like leftovers and the calamari was overcooked. To make matters worse, my order through DoorDash was incomplete, with the miso soup missing and no utensils provided. This was the worst experience, and I paid $66. 18 for what I consider junk.

Helpful Staff in a Busy Place
When in San Diego, I always make sure to stop here. It can be overwhelming with all the options, but the staff is always super helpful; you just have to ask for help! My experience was great, and I highly recommend it.

Loyal Customer Lost Due to Service Changes
I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years, but unfortunately, the service and food quality have declined. While the prices were once reasonable, the recent changes have made me reconsider. The establishment is small and lacks a customer bathroom. My main issue stems from a change in how my spicy tuna is prepared. Previously, they would put it on the side, even with an extra container charge. However, recently, the staff has become stingy with the side portions, and on my last visit, I was told they were "not allowed" to provide the side protein, despite paying for it. This new "old policy" is baffling and has led me to downgrade my order and ultimately decide not to return. I used to frequent this place exclusively, but now I won't be spending any more money here.

Generous Portions, Limited Seating
My experience was mostly take-out, as there are only a few seats available outside adjacent to the sidewalk. There is no bathroom and no beer offered. I ordered a medium-sized meal with three proteins, white rice, and more toppings than I can recall. The portions were large.
