Truffle Poké Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Food was absolutely amazing. Great sauce without overwhelming the food, lots of vegetable options, fish was on point I had salmon and hamachi. I would come back all the time if I lived nearby (just passing through) but I'll keep it in mind! Patio was great with nice weather too. People were nice and the food proportions are great too!
Solid Poké! Glass noodles and white rice as the base with salmon and a wide variety of toppings FTW. Good fast service too.
Felt like grabbing a quick lunch snack on a hot day. It was mostly empty and there was no wait. The poke was pretty standard and was not exceptional. The tuna and salmon looked a little oxidized and slimy. There is a good selection of sides and it's not often I get to have crispy onions on my bowl. The sauces are fairly standard, yuzu, sriracha aioli, etc. But the truffle aioli did not have much flavor to it. The difference in bowl sizes rarely made a made difference to what you would get. Service was decent but seemed rushed in an empty dining area and they seemed confused when asking for water or cups and utensils which might have been more of a language barrier.
Ordered a regular bowl (four scoops) to go on a Saturday night. The store was not very busy so service was fast. Straightforward menu with steps to order. Their toppings bar is impressive; I can't say I've ever been somewhere with this many. Tried the kimchi and the daikon this round; both didn't disappoint. Portions here are decent. They def went ham on the fried onions. Def hit the spot, I'll probably ask for a bit more ponzu next time. Will be back to try the taro chips!
My go to spot for poke, ever since I was recommended this place, I haven't looked back. The poke is fresh & delicious. The spicy tuna is definitely spicy which was nice to see & they sell their sauces. This place has plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Parking is easy to find .... Minus one star because the staff isn't that friendly, they seemed bothered.
Love love love their pickled veggies! They make their pickled daikon and kimchi in house and it's delicious. Definitely get the fried onions to top off your poke bowls (best fried onions I've had!). Their truffle aioli is also must try! Service was quick and to-the-point. This is a quick grab-and-go place though parking can be a bit tricky. The only negative was that they can be quite stingy about their fish. They weigh the fish portions to be extremely exact. They seemed to have great happy hour deals -- never tried it myself but will do so next time!
