The salmon was really good and a bright healthy color , imitation crab meat was delicious and the pineapple dole ice cream was super good. The owner was working and was very sweet and attentive. Not a long line at all , I'll be back and try more of their sweets as well.
SO good, fish was melt in your mouth and very fresh. Flavors of the sauces were done well and were well balanced with all the proteins & toppings. We got the kids & medium sized CYOB and portion was generous without being overwhelming.
Have been wanting to try this place for awhile and it didn't disappoint! Very kind server (might have been the owner?). Not busy on a Friday around 2. I got the kids bowl which in total only comes out to a little over $11 - that's really good for a poke bowl nowadays, especially because this place gives unlimited toppings. The portion for the kids size is a lot too and they don't skimp on fish or any other toppings! Their fish is fresh and soft. Would come back if in the area!
I wish I had taken more pictures to display the generous portions of the meals. Quick and friendly service, and very reasonably priced. I tried to create your own bowl, the tiger wrap, and one salmon pocket all for about $28 dollars. More than enough food, in fact it was my lunch and dinner. I like a reliable, cost efficient, and varied poke place. I especially enjoyed the tiger wrap, unique take and I wish more places offered this sort of wrap. Flavors were deliciously combined. It's a small restaurant with enough seating for their customers, I will be coming back in the future.
I love poke and this TG hits the spot!! I like their menu options and specifically for the CYOB in which you can choose from the 3oz, 4oz or 6oz bowls ranging from cost of $10.50 to $16.40. To cost-save on eating but still provided with a great taste - I typically go for the Kids (3oz) bowl @ $10.50 - a perfect portion for me! I also do LOVE their Poke Nachos @ $10.50. This is the place to get it! Their tortilla chips are thick and generally holds most of the crunch even after 1/2 hour - 1 hour of not eating it immediately. It reminds me of the poke nachos from Poke to the Moon (closed earlier this year). I typically order online for pick-up because I get to control the customizations to my liking. Under Special Requests - they allow you to choose Light Sauced (Mixed), Extra Sauce (Mixed) or Separate Base/Fish and they allow you to select a sauce if you want it to drizzle over your bowl. I love sauces so I take advantage when I can. For their rewards program, for every visit you make you earn 1 point. When you get to 10 points you get 10% off the entire sale or 20% of entire sale when you collect 20 points. Sometimes they'll email out discounts - just gotta keep an eye out for those. So worth using. Oh check in on Yelp app and you do get a free soda can drink. Great location in Costa Mesa on Bristol. Parking can be a bit tough to find if you go during their busy rush times and weekend. If you're a poke lover you gotta try Tiger Plate!
I recently tried this poke place, and it was a fantastic experience! The sweet and spicy ponzu sauce is absolutely delicious - just the right amount of heat balanced with freshness that makes every bite enjoyable. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each bowl. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the cute decor adds a charming touch to the whole experience. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!
I'm a little obsessed with this poke place and im not sure why because I don't think its amazing but I can't stop eating it?? Something about this place is so simple and I love it. The fish seems really fresh and I prefer the texture of the fish here more than elsewhere. I also enjoy that there are fewer topping options here because poke topping options out there are getting a little crazy imo. Their spicy chili is a bit too salty for me. The shoyu is good, but my favorite is the spicy mayo (I just love mayo). I love that I can get sliced cucumbers as a base here as well.
My friend and I came here for a light bite and their food did not disappoint! I think I may now have a tofu pocket addiction... The cashier was super nice and helpful. She was extremely familiar with the menu and recommended me different items based on my preferences! The portion of fish is generous and tastes fresh. I personally ended up preferring the tofu pocket over the handroll, but both are yummy!
