Reviews

Understated, solid spot for poke. Big, fresh portions of salmon. Easy to overlook the lunch options since they're also a fish market. Hits the spot.

Got the shrimp basket, which is small considering it costs $15 dollars. The shrimp with the cocktail sauce was average. Chips were good.

Fries are the real winner... the oyster Po-Boy was pretty meager, really small oysters compared to what's in the fresh case... it was tasty. But the oysters were non present in proportion to the rest of the sandwich and for the price.

OMg the worst customer service. I was ordering by pointing at the menue which is easy to I figure out but  this girl was  distracted looking at her male Colleage and literally ignored me ! I was i am ready to order but she was like I speak only  Spanish which is not a problem I was in Mexico and had no issues! Customers service is an art and people like her do give it a bad name. I spoke to the man co-worker who she was there to keep an eye on him! He used that old lame excuse “ her first day” I asked him to train her on some manner. Btw I did not order but they deserve the low rating. Just apologize people do not make excuses for your terrible employees.

Yum! I got the daily special- fried oyster poboy and a side of fries. Staff was friendly, food was delicious, and it came out quickly! Loved the sauce & the pickles that came on the sandwich. These guys are inside Union Market where there is plenty of outdoor seating. They also sell fresh seafood too!

Customer service could really use a sprucing up. Second time they have had a sign up for food that they do not have in stock. The second time I placed a full order then was made aware that they do not have the whole fish. Real taste breaker!

Made poke bowls at home with the salmon and seaweed salad I got here, which reduced the total cost of a very filling and healthy bowl to less than $10. I need to do this more often! Note that the cashier suggested finishing the salmon within 2-3 days.

Amazing poke, great portions too. Will definitely be getting this again!

The fish sandwiches salmon cheesesteak and salmon burger were very tasty. But what really shocked us was how good the fries were…they’re the real MVP’ of the meal.

I tried the salmon donbori bowl. It was okay, but a little dry with no sauce. Just 2 pieces of salmon, some other stuff and white rice. I am giving 5 stars because it's a unique shop and I bet the fish tacos are good, next time!
