"This was our first go at a 'Poke ' restaurant and I have to say we are hooked! We 've not tried other ones, but Poke Life is really good. Simple, but trendy clean decor, fresh tasting colorful food, what more could you ask for? So, if you are a Poke novice...you basically go in and pick your size bowl (small, medium or large). With a small you get 2 proteins, medium 3, large 4. So you pick your base first (white rice, brown rice, spring mix), then add your proteins (it 's basically raw fish, salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, scallop mix, shrimp, etc), then you add your ingredients (fresh jalapenos, corn, edamame, mango, pineapple, cilantro, crab salad mix, etc), then you pick your sauce and they mix it up for you. The taste is very fresh and different, but excellent! A warning to dieters: This food is marketed as healthy food, but you can easily run up your calories to well over 1000 for a bowl and the sodium can also be well over 1000mg so do your research and choose wisely. The main items that will get you is the rice base (choose spring mix instead) and the sauces (I think the Ponzu is the least fattening and sodium content)...some of the sauces are absolutely LOADED with fat and cals so again, do your research or you won 't be eating as healthy as you thought you were. All that being said, we had our first Poke bowl a couple of months ago and I have eaten here 5 times already...love it!"
