Excellent freshly prepared raw seafood oriented bowls. Everything is terrific, and don't overlook the warm bowl options, especially the spicy chicken katsu. Meals are $12 to $15 but are an excellent value.

Delicious and so fresh. So many options to customize your poke bowl. I personally love that they have fresh crab as an option, vs just imitation crab. The staff is friendly, and service is quick.

I was hesitant to try Butterfish as I prefer authentic Hawaiian-style poke, since every California poke place I'd tried in the past was too bland and vinegary. But my boyfriend kept insisting that I would love this place, and he was right! This restaurant is...Read More

We LOVED our meal here. We both ended up getting hot bowls instead of poke. I got the spicy Katsu chicken and it was great. The Tokyo fries were super yummy too. I think everything here was very fairly priced considering how much food you got too!
