I’m really happy Benicia has a poke restaurant, but I’ve been disappointed by how often it’s unexpectedly closed. In the last two months, I’ve tried to go six times, and it was closed five of those visits with no notice on social media. One of those was a Sunday before I realized they’re closed every Sunday. For whatever reason, Sundays are when I crave sushi or poke the most, and I have a feeling I’m not the only one. Benicia could really use a quality sushi or poke spot that’s open on Sundays.
My other suggestion would be to offer a more traditional Hawaiian poke option. I’d love the ability to order a simple bowl with fresh poke and rice at a lower price instead of having to build a fully loaded bowl every time.
Finally, the spicy ahi could use some balancing. Spicy ahi is a classic poke flavor, but at most poke restaurants it’s flavorful with a moderate kick. Here, it’s so spicy that it overpowers everything else in the bowl. After a few bites, I couldn’t really taste the fish or the other items because of the heat. Dialing it back a bit would let the other flavors shine while still giving customers the spice they’re looking for.
I really want this place to succeed because Benicia needs a great local poke spot. I hope they consider these suggestions—they’d definitely make me visit more often.

They make the best poke bowls and do an amazing job of remembering my favorite bowl. Everyone is so kind and always greets us with a smile when we come here. The food is healthy, fresh and delicious every time.
