I’m not sure if I can call this a Poke Bowl. The fish is obviously frozen, bland and old. The crab is pretty good and so is the rice, but the combination of flavor is completely off. Nothing that represents that flavor of Hawaii. If your drunk and hungry late at night, this is the place to go. If you’re looking for a great meal to truly enjoy, go somewhere else. Service was impeccable tho, especially for late at night!

Went in there to pick up an order for somebody. Took the guy at least 25 minutes. He didn't seem to know what he was doing. Really slow. I thought maybe he was sort of remedial at best. I was patient. The blond headed guy with the tattoos. Asked a questions, being nice. He started randomly yelling at me. Insulting. Told him, hope he has a better day. Actually tipped him. Was weird. Then I calmly left. Very odd and very weird. He was having a full on melt down. No control. A full on tantrum. He got mad and threw something at me as I was walking out the door. Think about that. Their employee actually through something at a customer's back. He also called me the "F"-word. Reported this the next day to the manager. He didn't care. Just stands out front smoking. Told him there is video of it. His eyes glazed over. They don't actually have the videos recording there. Don't eat here. The food is gross and people do get sick from it. Hoping Isla Vista can get a better place than this on the corner.

Wow this is one of the best poke I’ve ever had! I’m super impressed! The decorations inside is beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking at the colored balls above! When we went in to pick up our order, the person working didn’t know we were there so we waiting for awhile until I finally yelled out to them in the back lol. I don’t like waiting around. I got their slushy and it was really good! I definitely recommend this place! The fish is so fresh and so delicious. I’m sad I didn’t get to go the last time I went to Santa Barbara. I’m craving it now. Until next time :)
