Fresh, healthy, good value

I think the menu has changed since previous reviews. You now ‘build your own’ - either a rice or salad bowl, a roll, etc. There are 2 vegan options - marinated tofu or sesame carrot, and then you can add as much as you like of salady bits - cucumber, carrot, edamame, etc, then crunchy stuff (fried onions, garlic, peanuts, and then a sauce (there were a few vegan sauces - I had the ponzu). The bowl was $9.50.
From the outside it doesn’t look like the most exciting place but the meal I had here was great, really fresh, delicious and very filling. The staff were friendly and v clear about what was vegan. Recommend!

Meh. Not very creative.

Ordered the vegan poke. Ingredients were quite basic.

Good concept, well-executed

Had dinner here our first day in Monterey. Everyone in party liked what they got here.

The traditional poke includes fish, and there is plenty of that here, including, sadly, octopus. That said, it's easy to get a great vegetarian or vegan meal here, and one of their three "standard" bowl options is in fact vegetarian (with tofu, avocado, and shiitakes). Ask for the marinated tofu; the plain is good, but the marinated is really good.

Bowl is made with what you want in it, and there are lots of vegetable options, including cucumber, pickled ginger, edamame, among others.

The mayonnaise is not vegan (contains egg) which is unfortunate but the servers were aware that this might be an issue when my daughter asked about it. It's not at all hard to get a great vegan bowl here.

Quick, seems healthy, reasonably priced. The place is clean and everything seems fresh. Would definitely eat here again.

Pros: Good choices, Fresh, Quick

Cons: Vegan mayonnaise as an option would be welcome

clean, fast, delicious

Great customer service, and tasty/healthy food. Lots of vegan options, could even eat all raw here if you choose lettuce as the base of your bowl instead of rice. Lots of no oil options.

Pros: clean, fast , healthy
