Amazing Poke bowls. So happy they have opened a store in Oroville. They build the poke bowls right in front of you. The ingredients are so fresh and delicious. The poke sauce is amazing. Im sure this would be a great place to get something vegetarian or vegan if you want. Also they have Hawaiian macaroni! Sooo good!

Great food, clean dining area; wish they had crispy garlic and that their menu was more clear (ex: each section doesn’t say how much of that item you can get or how many options you can choose). Poke bowl not pictured.

Visited August 17th. They have only been opened since yesterday (August 16th) and it was packed at 1pm today! The bbq chicken plate was good but ask for extra sauce! They are overwhelmed by the crowds coming in to this new restaurant. A bit pricey for Oroville. It's good to have some healthy choices in this town!
