Poke house is the chipotle of poke bowl, which means you make your own poke bowl by picking and choosing all the ingredients. It is located in a strip mall, and parking can be somewhat tricky. Some parking spots are 20-30 minute parking spots, so please pay attention to the signs. otherwise, you will get a parking ticket if you overstay your parking.
They have 3 different bowl options- small, medium, and large. My friend and I, we both got the small bowl and found it very filling. You basically pick 5 different things for your bowl- 1. Base 2. Protein 3. Mix-ins 4. Toppings 5. Sauce
Each bowl also comes with a free scoop of crab salad so don't forget to try that out.
For base, you can pick between sushi rice, spring mixed greens, zucchini noodles, or brown rice.
Under proteins, you have 8 different options - ahi tuna, scottish salmon, spicy tuna, octopus, shrimp, tofu, and spicy miso salmon. You can pick multiple sauces for your poke bowl. You have multiple sauce options- house shoyu, lime ponzu, miso aioli, sweet unagi, sriracha aioli, garlic soy vinaigrette, and house chili.
For mix-ins, you have corn, cucumber, edamame, green onions, grape tomato, hijiki seaweed, jalapaneo, mango, masago, pineapple, purple cabbage and sweet onion. You can add multiple mix-ins to your bowl. There is no limit.
And lastly for your toppings, you've got crispy onion, furikake, nori strips, ogo seaweed, pickled ginger, seasame seeds, sliced almonds, togarashi, wasabi, avocado (+$2.50) and seaweed salad (+$2.00).
The place wasn't busy when we went there and the service was fast. The ingredients were fresh. If you don't like making your own bowl, then they also have some signature bowls that you can pick from. I would say it is just a little pricy but a decent poke place.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn’t too busy and the service was quick. The bowls are a little more expensive, but we all got mediums and took leftovers home. It was plenty of food for the medium. All the choices tasted so fresh! Great poke place will come back again 😁

Solid choice for poke bowls. Generous portions, fresh ingredients. Easy online ordering, but they forgot some items in my last order. Also, no idea why a side of miso soup is $4. Would still recommend though as a good choice when you want something light and healthy.
