I went to Miko Poke for the first time last fall. I enjoyed it so much I decided to meet my friend, Yang, out for dinner to catch up. The setup was different from the last time I was in. You now place your order with the cashier and wait until your name is called instead of having someone build your poke bowl and then paying at the end. I preferred the original setup but that is more due to the flow since the cash register is at the far end of the counter. However, this can be easily changed.
This time I ordered the Hawaii Style House Creation with Spicy Tuna and Brown Rice. I really enjoyed all the flavors of this bowl. The avocado paired well with the spicy aioli, cucumbers, and edamame. The scallions gave it the right amount of kick. The only thing I didn’t like was when I got to the bottom of the bowl the rice was drenched in poke sauce. I couldn’t eat the rest because it was just too much sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I love sauces but in this case it overpowered the rest of the flavors. Good thing it was at the bottom of the bowl and not throughout because I had thoroughly enjoyed it up to that point.
This was the second time I went and my tummy was still very pleased. I will definitely be coming back when I want something refreshing and healthy to eat. I may consider asking them to holding the poke sauce in the future since there are bottles of the different sauces available by the silverware and napkins in case you want to add more. This place is a definite must if you want to try something similar to sushi as the tuna is raw.
