Marinated old-style Hawaiian poke, kukui nut and garlic-mayo scallop among the day's options, cut fresh and piled with toppings. Portions run small for what it costs.

A rice-ball shop's poke bowl: fresh fish over brown rice with edamame and nori, and more of it than the price suggests. The seasoning is gentle.
