Seaside poke was very delicious! They had a lot of good vegetable options for the poke and their shoyu sauce was incredible.Prices were pretty standard for poke and the quality of the dish was really nice! They had options for different oils to add to the sauce, which was new to me, but definitely tasty. Parking is available, but paid.
Really fresh and delicious food! Has various options.Got my food back in 5 minutes and was perfect for a quick lunch bite.
Update: the last time, I dined in.I ordered spicy tuna with one employee at the register, and the other employee gave me regular.I showed her and she said they don’t have enough spicy tuna for my bowl even though I could see a bucket of spicy tuna in front of her.She said it wasn’t enough for my order.She could have at least given me the rest of that, and then added regular tuna for the rest.Or they could have taken time to make more spicy tuna before they put regular tuna that I did not order into my bowl.They should prioritize walk in customers, not delivery.She took my bowl from me and pretended to cut up my tuna for five minutes and added the sauce.It was not cut up when she gave it back to me.She told me I should have asked to make sure they had it in stock.That’s so illogical- when I order something, the employee taking my order should confirm (on their own) if they have what I ordered- especially when they know it’s an item they run out of every day! Or they should tell me when they realize they don’t, instead of basically deciding what they’ll put in my bowl without consulting me.They shouldn’t just make my meal with what they assume is the next best option.This restaurant needs to refine their process because most of my experiences have been laughable. Employees are polite.Ingredients are high quality and fresh. However, they’ve always forgotten things in my bowl that I paid extra for, which I don’t realize until I get home.My $20 meal should have everything in it that I requested.The system would be better if I could select what I want in my bowl and see them put it in as we walk through.

Hi Ameena, Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the confusion.The pre-chopped spicy tuna is limited quantity and the spicy tuna you saw might have been set aside for other online orders that were placed before.When the bowl was taken back from you to be remade, you witnessed how spicy tuna is made - mashed and mixed with our sauce.Bowls containing all spicy tuna are by default made with the regular ahi tuna and mixed with the same sauce.Typically, customers will request for the pre-chopped tuna when they order.We’ll work to refine the process to make that distinction clearer.
