Great quick to go experience here today. Fresh salmon! $20 is pricey but it's an airport. I'm pleased. Took about 1 min from when I paid for my order. Would come back. I wish they did custome orders but it's small menu only.

Eating sushi in an airport seems like a risky choice, yet my only complaint was the price. Which, considering the combo of sushi and airport food, is to be expected. Service was professional and courteous. Offered suggestions. Food was prepared quickly. Fresh and tasty ingredients. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and an Alaskan roll. Alaskan roll pictured.

Don't expect too much, we are at the airport after all. I like this place and I might come back. The sushi is pretty good. The service though is very slow.

Had a lovely poke bowl and miso soup, made fresh. They also serve various drinks, including wine from new zealand! The staff were all lovely, especially our server. Made us feel right at home and made our airport experience a lot better.

GoogleMaps says it's closed, but it isn't!! Amazing professional and friendly bartender who definitely knows how to make a pre-flight spicy Bloody Mary.

Didn’t expect anything good cuz of 2 starts reviews and it’s in airport. I ordered spicy tuna bowl and it was made fresh. It tasted surprisingly good, flavor-wise and freshness-wise. Id recommend if you can ask for fresh made cuz lots of negative reviews is those poke are made hours ago and no fresh.

Hey it's airport food... freshly made pokey bowl went well with a hazy IPA... better than a lot of the other available places here.

Airport Japanese place wise, this is really good. The beef was very tender.

It's okay pretty much summarizes this place. The poke bowl is no where near how or what poke bowls are served at a poke bowl restaurant where you can make your own, plus the poke bowls at this place is expensive for a few pieces of fish and cold rice that's clumped together because it probably came out of a package that was then reheated. I don't recommend getting a poke bowl here and you should just find something else overpriced at the airport, perhaps a burrito or sandwich.

April 2024 Bought a box of raw tuna sushi and it was so disappointing. The rice was dry and hard and the tuna didn't taste any good. Also ridiculously expensive at 15 dollars, considering how small the portion was and how bad the quality was. It didn't feel like I was eating sushi.

Got the Volcano Poke bowl and miso soup. The Jalapeno on the volcano tastes like jalapeno, that's all, the rest (salmon, tuna, edamame, rice...) all taste the same as a cardboard. Everything is clumped hard, you need some chopsticks force to pry the pieces apart. The entire body of rice was one huge single piece, and good luck breaking it into smaller chunks. Miso soup looks like miso soup, but tates like boiled green onions...and that's what i got. Won't eat it again if was given to me for free

This is by far one of the worst food / bar experiences i have ever had.... Only 1 thing available on the "menu" no draft beers available, the staff actually wanted me to leave, outlets covered in duct tape.... The worst poke bowl on earth is here and if thats what you're looking for come here!

The worst poke bowl but $20. My plastic fork couldn't even penetrate the rice because the rice is hard as rock 🤮

I purchased the Vegan Beet Tofu Poke it didn’t have any beets. Spoke the manager and he said it’s “Beet Tofu”. I mentioned that it is listed as separate ingredients. All he would say is it’s “ beet tofu “ what an Idiot. He wouldn’t help me😂

not good. Not sure if it’s fresh from the day of. Got the poke bowl. old rice not fully cooked and frozen. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Their plastic spoon tasted like dish washer, the staff changed it right away without additional explanations, and no surprise on her face neither which seems like it’s normal. I am highly doubting they are reusing the plastic spoons. Worst experience ever. For sure won’t be back again...

I should have read the reviews before I walked in, They say it's a gamble eating sushi at an airport, this one is a gamble for sure. Poke bowl rice is frozen, rice is so hard it would break your chopsticks, rawfish is not fresh, tuna roll here gotta be the worst roll I ever had, $40 down the drain, threw the food straight in the trash. Usually not the one to leave bad reviews, but this one fully deserved it.

$30 for half a shot of vodka in a mixed drink. Horrible service from bartenders that sat on their phones the whole time. Had to repeat my order 4 times to them. Will never come back.

LAME bartender with a lame personality and didn't attend much. Also made lame drinks. Very disappointing.
