“I was in the mood for poke about a year ago and decided to check this out for lunch. So glad I did I’ve been coming to this poke lunch spot ever since. It is a hidden spot in St Claude. The staff is always friendly and the poke is fresh. I tried the Kinda Hawaiian with the wonton chips. The mango and tuna was fresh. Definitely coming back.”

“This place is absolutely solid for the price point. The food and sauce is fresh and delicious. The large bowl is proportional to the price and quality. They are no longer BYOB as they now have their liquor license. They have vegetarian and vegan options available. I can personally say the fried tofu is great in texture and taste. Get the spiced bean sprouts added to your bowl! I will definitely be going back again... And will try to get a picture before digging in.”
— Jordan Graham★★★★★
“The best pokebowl I have ever had! All the ingredients were so fresh. Y'all.. The tuna, the mango.. I literally just left and I'm already planning my next visit. Friendly and super fast service. (Side note that does not take away from how great this place is- I also order the chicken karaage. It needs a little more spice and I wish it was smaller bites so it would be easier to eat.)”
— P Ieong★★★★★
“Pretty tasty poke spot with a large variety of cooked options as well. Tuna was a bit oxidized and had lost a lot of color when we came but flavors were decent.”
