Yet another poke spot! Great intentions by the owner — who's Hawaiian by the way — to share poke that he grew up chomping, though I'm not too sure if it'll please the locals. None of the fish are pre-marinated, instead tossed in your chosen sauce on the spot upon order. While that means you can really taste the quality and freshness of the fish, I for one found the sauces way too mild (read: could barely taste anything!). Perhaps I'm used to more aggressively seasoned poke that we've been exposed to so far? If you're popping by anytime soon, I'd say give the Alakai Ho'ono seasoning on salmon a go: it's by far the tastiest, though considerably milder than competitors' renditions.
