Solid 3.5
Finally. A dedicated poke store in the CBD. Maholo. Customisable bowls are decently sized & priced with ample mix & match options. They also do curry bowls (but pfffft no thanks and why?)....& at this point I realise most of the offerings are not traditional poke-related at all.
However I highly recommend the Hawaiian marinated tuna if you’re trying to capture the authentic spirit of aloha. The flavour & texture was superb, transporting me back to Honolulu. 8 plump cubes will never be enough. Felt a touch of stinginess with some of the inclusions (challenge: play ‘find the edamame’ in my pics). Ideally a final flourish of sesame seeds or nori on top would have tied everything together nicely. Realistically ‘flourish’ isn’t the vibe I got here.
It’s Popular (capital P) so inevitably service was rushed with some communication barriers.
Still: healthy | satisfying | serious feels.
