New, fun little poke spot. Great addition to the neighborhood. It's basically like make your own Hawaiian poke bowl - salmon, seaweed, daikon, black sesame sprinkles. Great spot for a quick lunch downtown. Advised to head in 11 or so or after 1pm on weekdays - the lunchtime rush is line out the door. So fresh and summery!
