"As a child, I learned to eat all kinds of seafood, even raw clams. Wasn't exposed to sushi until later in life, I don't know. Now I love it. No need to be a expert, just stay away from gas stations????. Now, poke. My third bowl ever, why did I wait solong? Might as well get the large bowl at $2 more, it's a diff from the small. I was hungry, couldn't finish it. Bill was$18(large bowl, can soda, tax. Portion was dinner sized. Fresh, tasty ingredients. Great rice. Place is nice and clean. Ireally have an appreciation for the cuisine now. Thanks."
