Whatever y'all do, don't park in the Breaux Mart, dude sits out there waiting to boot people.

But yeah that area gets a ton of foot traffic. Once they finish Louisiana they will be fine.

That sounds stupid, if you are a poke spot, be a poke spot. Trying to cater to a basic crowd is lame.

I ate it today. I expected it to be similar to the poke salad that Kyoto used to have, and that Origami has on their menu now. I love that one, and it's cheaper than Poke Loa.

Ordered the spicy tuna rice bowl, which was decent. There are a couple of other ways I'd like to try it, but will probably work it into the lunch rotation.

I just ate there, too.

I got a large ponzu tuna bowl on white rice with onions, green onions, furikake, sesame seeds, and sriracha aioli. I felt like the portion was small for the price (~$15) and the presentation was different than what I've seen at other poke places (seemed like they tried to push adding a ton of other ingredients outside of the basics to your bowl.)

Overall, I felt like the poke was fresh and tasty, but did not satisfy my hunger (and I'm not one to eat a ton in a single sitting.)
