The place seemed very promising! Some folks really enjoyed their meal (the poke bowls) even though it was small for the price it was. On the other hand, the tacos were really small & lacked spice & flavour. The atmosphere was good but it did get really crowded. Lastly, the service was disappointing. They got a meal wrong & gave us attitude when we tried to rectify the mistake. The servers seemed very overwhelmed but kept inviting more folks in.

Hopefully you can improve on these points. Wishing you the best

Delicious, fresh & vibrant!!

I ordered the Ponzu Salmon Poke bowl & it was lovely.

Sad to see how this place has gotten worse & worse over the years. Used to be a great spot for a nice meal & drink, but it now feels rundown, music not well adjusted, some lightbulbs not working. Zero service. They just bring food, & collect the bill. My'bowl' had no dressing at all. Not going again.

This place is truly a hidden gem 💎, If you are looking for high quality, healthy & reasonably priced food in the Old-Port this is one of very few places that is not a tourist trap. The have habds down the best fresh salades 🥗 & poke bowls in the area 🍜. If you go to eat there they have a chaming dining room, they serve delicious 🍹🍸 & have some great entree options, the calamari is my favorite. Well worth the detour especially for lunch of pickup.

The ambiance is charming.
Service was good though one of the servers did not seem like he wanted to be there.
The tacos were good BUT my salmon poke bowl was WAY too salty… felt like rice with a side of salmon with an ingredrient that was too salty & overpowered the aftertaste…
Was too overprice for the portion.
Chop sticks felt cheap.

Avoid at all costs. I ordered on here from Uber & it arrived quickly. Everything in the bowl was soggy. The chips were mushy, the rice was mushy, & everything was wet.

The portion was for an infant. Beyond disappointed. It is 30% smaller than the smallest bowl Ive ever had in my life. I will need to get another dinner. Almost $30 for a tiny burrito bowl before tip, tax, & fees.
