The poke is fine. In line with what I’ve had from many DC spots. The service at lunch today was disappointing. 2 people handling mobile and live orders that required 4-5 people. Orders were not processed in the order they came in—they just compiled a sea of receipts in no discernible order, so people behind us got their food long before us. There was no mystery to any of this because it’s a tiny space where you can see all of the paper orders and food prep happening in front of you. We were the 4th and 5th people to arrive for lunch and got our food after more than half an hour only because I went up to pester them. Hopefully it was just a bad day.

Stopped by for an Abunai hand roll, and it was so delicious I went back and ordered two more. The hand roll was made with care, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Rice was expertly seasoned and the tuna poke tasted fresh. I’ll be back.
