Having lived on the island for a few years and knowing what poke is supposed to taste like, this is amazing! I wasn't expecting much because this is texas and we aren't close to the water by any means. However, this place is soooo delicious! This is going to be a new regular spot! Thank you for bringing the island to the mainland! This place is ono!!
This place is incredible! I never thought I would find authentic poke on the mainland, but this place does not disappoint! They have some good poke options, and I hope they can expand their flavors the longer they are open.
Really fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and lot of food for the price. Really excited to have a delicious poke place here in BCS. The even have Aloha Maid sodas. I love Lilikoi Passion.
Having spent many summers in resident oahu with family, I can only say this place fills a spot in my stomach like nothing else in BCS can. The price is spot on, and the toppings are varied and plenty! Don't be afraid to ask for more sauce (or mix a couple!) as the staff is always generous and are happy to build you your perfect bowl. Only downside for me is the lack of marinating for the proteins. I'm very used to the raw tuna and salmon being marinated in the poke sauces as is traditional for poke. It would be wonderful if they started doing that cause it would make the meats incredible, but as the bowls are modular I can see why they might steer away from setting a certain flavour in the meats up front. Either way I always leave happy and full! Oh and don't forget to try a Aloha drink! I grew up drinking those in Hawaii and they are perfect for these bowls �
UPDATE - I went back and tried again - they more than made up for a previous less-than-5-star service and I'll definitely be back. Serving size was generous and the people staffing today were wonderful. Food was fantastic.
Previous review:
I've been here once before and was impressed but the service today was bad. My server was extremely stingy with the food and my "large" bowl barely filled half the container It was literally less than I received last time when I got a small bowl. He barely would put a squirt of sauce in, even when I asked for more, so the bowl lacked flavor.
This place is so different from the rest of the options in town it is hard to relate it., Look you get a bowl of rice or brown rice or salad greens and then top with proteins and vegetables and everything was in credibly fresh. Prices are reasonable and it is worth checking out. Let's face it. You need something other than burgers in town and this is such a welcome change you need to give them a try.

Oh my gosh. SO. GOOD! Great flavors, great food and great service. Highly recommend! This will become a regular place for us.
At this point I've visited about 4 times and loved everytime. Their spicy tuna is probably the best meat there is
We absolutely love this place! The staff is the friendliest and the food is amazing!
Tried it for the first time today. The staff were very helpful, all of the ingredients were fresh, and our bowls were very, very delicious. We will be back :-)
Omg so ono! Having a taste of the island here in this small town brings back some good memories.
I have to admit I was hesitant to give this place a shot - however, I am so glad my husband convinced me to try it! I have now been 3 times. We LOVE it! Our kids love it, too (2 years old and 4 years old).
I love that we can also quickly and easily get the bowls to-go.
However, beware when they cut onions (I went around 2:30 pm when they were cutting onions) - everyone going in and out will walk out crying. LOL
My favorite place in college Station! So good! ��

Very fresh and delicious! I will be back for more!
I now crave this daily! Everything is so fresh so delicious � and I live a block away!
Good poke.
Build your own bowl - choose a size, a base (rice or green), fish (tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, shrimp) and a good variety of toppings.
Also choose a sauce.
The concept is very chill. The food is served in takeout containers, but they have tables if you prefer to dine in.
Pretty alright poke place for college station. Is it anything like the poke you expect in Hawaii? No! But it is pretty alright when one is craving rice and fishy things without wanting sushi. One little issue is that I have been there twice in the evening and each time they were out of greens and the fish really does not have enough contact with any sauce to have any appreciable effect, but the overall eatability is pretty high especially with the toppings of tobiko, crispy garlic and shallots that add a nice crunch to the fish and Rice combo.
Quality eats and super kind staff. The young man with the dreads was helpful and charismatic, top class service industry. Their selection of toppings and sauces mean a Poke bowl for everybody, if I lived in cstat I'd definitely be back!
Food was good like always, but there was a lady and a man at the counter today and I get it was a slow day, but I felt some of the things she would talk about to the other employee was a little inappropriate for customers to hear. She just kept bringing up a time he no called no show and said he wouldn't have a job again if he did it and the poor guy was just standing there saying he understood. It was all just very odd. Still love the food and will definitely come back, but maybe teaching that employee that there are things that you don't talk about within earshot of a customer would be beneficial. Picture of food attached because it's so amazing.
So good. Fish is raw, but sushi grade. Ingredients are fresh and the sauces are so yummy.
It's like the subway of poke! Be prepared to build your own bowl and whatever you choose you cant go wrong!
Great food, great service, super nice staff. If I had to describe it, I would say it’s similar to a deconstructed sushi. You choose what goes on it/in it and the sauces and spices. Good selection of drinks in cans and they have to-go containers and silverware.
