AmbAmb: Ahi tuna (unmarinated) is fresh! Get the sriracha aioli, sweet shoyu, or wasabi shoyu for classic spicy mayo, soy sauce, or wasabi-soy sauce flavors. Seafood salad is too fishy and underseasoned.

Maria M.Maria Mar: All poke bowl. The salmon was great and love the option of black rice. Veggie and mixed greens were fresh!
