Japanese restaurant
We picked up food from Mama Poke last night, for the first time, and were pleasantly surprised. First, the parking was adequate and close to the restaurant.I was the only person in the restaurant when I went in and I said that I was there for an online order under my name...I mentioned that I'm sure it's not ready yet, but I can pay (it was more than 10 minutes before the estimated ready time), but my food was all ready to go! So, anyway, I was back home before I had even expected to pick up the food (really nice)! We ordered a couple of poke bowls and a couple of appetizers and each item was fresh and tasty.I don't have too much to compare to, but these items definitely had a nice, strong flavor and texture.One thing to mention: the spicy tuna actually is quite spicy (great for us, but might be a surprise to some people). In my opinion, the prices are a little steep (especially for kids items), but that's the world we're living in, now... All in all, this was a nice experience and we'll certainly be back again!
Disappointed.I would not recommend anything here.The sushi was gas station sushi for sure.The rice was old and tiered and the ingredients didn’t make it taste any better.The ingredients were not fresh, the cucumbers were bruised and pithy, the onion flakes were soggy, the ginger was overpowering, the rice was old and the tuna a salmon were slimy - not in a good way.I asked for no red onion and they put it in.The veggie bowl had tofu which was not listed on the menu and the flavor was sorely lacking.The people were nice but the food was ugly.Does Colorado Springs have any decent poke bowls??
My husband and I ordered the Mama Special Poke Bowl, chicken egg rolls, and kimchi to take home.I was excited before but after seeing how much care went into making the poke bowl, how crispy and golden the egg rolls looked after being freshly fried, and how bright the kimchi looked I could barely wait to get home! The egg rolls were still crispy and delicious when we got home, the bowl very bright, balanced, and fresh- the fish especially! And the kimchi was perfectly sweet and balanced, very flavorful.Thank you Mama Poke for making food that brightened up a rough day, we'll be back again!
