I’ve had the salmon + tomatoes, seaweed, tofu skin and cherry tomatoes. Was kinda let down that there’s never any chicken left (3 out of 3 times here) which was why I went with Salmon.
However, the food here is fresh, tasty and I was not disappointed (:
My friend had the unagi and i had the seared salmon. Really good and filling! Loved the fresh veggies, was a lot tastier when I added a ton of shichimi and some soy. Wished there was more salmon, but still would come again. Overall very tasty with friendly staff!

Had their Ace poke (salmon sashimi) bowl for my Mealpal lunch today. This outlet is pretty small, no doubt primarily for takeaways and deliveries, but there are a few 2 seater tables, bar stools and one communal table of 6 here. I came 10 minutes after they opened and the place was quite warm, warmer than it was outside, but I'm not sure if they just hadn't turned the air conditioning on yet. There was only one person manning the outlet at the time, and he was busy preparing bowls for a delivery person, so service was a bit slow.
The poke fad is pretty strong in Melbourne at the moment, but I haven't really gotten caught up in it, but I do like my salmon sashimi so I decided to give it a try. The bowl came with edamame, salad leaves, corn, wakame and avocado, and the salmon had spicy mayo on top. Overall, the dish was quite nice to eat. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the rice was warm. The spicy mayo was quite spicy, but once you mixed it through the dish it was quite pleasant to eat. The salmon was cut into a good size, large enough that each piece with a bite felt generous, but I had to ration it a little with the other ingredients and would have liked slightly more. However, considering the usual price of $11.50 I think it's passable. I would have liked a bit more avocado as well.
All other ingredients were prepared well, but I feel I have to point out: they aren't exactly difficult to prepare. Poke bowls are kind of the Hawaiian/Japanese equivalent of Subway - even sushi rolls require more effort to put together to be honest. And considering the amount of rice you have in there, I agree that it's a decently healthy option compared to fried or oily food, but it's not exactly the super dish or weight loss wonder that proponents of the fad would have you believe. And it certainly doesn't demand the high prices that some places charge for it.
That said, at the usual price of $11.50, it's reasonably good value for money for a filling meal. I haven't tried many other poke places but I'm pretty happy with this one.
