"The ambiance was good overall. It was something different, so I’d say the ambiance made up for the lackluster food. Thus, once the novelty wears off, I am not sure if I would go back for a full meal. I would probably go back- if I ever- it would be with a big group to enjoy a couple of beers with small plates during the Happy Hour. The small plates are fun to try and affordable. However, the biggest disappointment was a main dish, poke bowl. I have eaten a great number of poke bowls from a variety of places including some European countries, but I never had poke bowl with such undercooked rice. I am an Asian who makes rice everyday and knows what is good rice or not. I am normally ok with most sushi rices as long as it is cooked right. It was so undercooked that It hurt my teeth to chew. My husband who eats anything without much complaint agreed that it was hard to chew. Therefore, we both picked at only the fish pieces and left the rice. The fish was pretty good. All the ingredients in the bowl were great. However, the flavor was too subtle and overall too dry, I had to ask a bit more ponzu and sesame oil. Overall, we enjoyed our night out but I don’t think we will go back there for a poke bowl. We will continue to go to poke bros for a cheaper version of it- although the amount pole bros serves is less, it is perfect amount for me. But Drinking sake in a wooden box was a fun experience!"
