Pokerrito Review

I'm not sure why but these "poke" are getting popular all of a sudden. I see a lot of new restaurants selling them. It's a Hawaiian thing. Since I'm not going to Hawaii anymore, might as well give it a try here and compare it to Hawaii when I do go. I decided to try Pokerrito because I thought the wrap version (burrito) was kind of cool instead of the regular bowl style. The place isn't very big, most of the people just take out. They put the poke in take away bowls or put the wrap in those containers. Looking at their menu was a bit confusing because there were so much items on there to choose from. You could make your own (Subway style) or pick their signature (the easier way).

I decided to make my own, can't remember everything but I had the burrito style with spicy tuna, scallops, cucumber, sweet chili sauce, crab meat, seaweed salad, masago, tamago, corn, fish flakes, and grape tomatoes all wrapped in seaweed and rice, like sushi. I thought it was good, it reminds me of a California roll and I love cali rolls. I thought the paper that they wrapped it with was really hard to rip (maybe I'm not violent enough?) because it had this shiny non stick side or something.

My friend thought the pokerrito was good but it was hard to eat. if it's taken out of the wrapper, everything falls apart. I thought so too, it's like, I don't know how to eat this. I guess that's why people get it in the bowl version, easier to eat.

Oh, I hope they can add spicy salmon on their menu. I thought it was weird how they have spicy tuna but not salmon. They have salmon but not spicy salmon...

I didn't look at the price until I was paying, I think I paid $12 something with tax and tips. I paid tips even though I didn't eat there because I couldn't see a "no tip" option on the card machine (maybe I'm just blind?), oh well.

I'm not sure if I would come back again, honestly, it wasn't that special, just toppings on top of rice. I mean it tasted good, I'm not saying it's bad but it was more of a try it once and I'm done kind of thing. Plus, I hardly go Downtown and there are so much other food to try in that area.
