After chatting it up about J.Boog, The Green, Aiea, Pearl City, Back Alley, Nico's and Poke by the Pound my expectations kept climbing. Solid braddah at the counter and unko chopping up the ahi. Could've spent all day talking story and everything boiled down to my combination spicy ahi and ahi limu bowl...
Yes, yes, and yes! If you took everything from Oahu and mixed it in bowl, this would be on point! Reminds me of the afternoons I spent chillin' on the bench at Japanese Truck No. 7 in Hale'iwa or hanging out across the street from Kualoa Ranch or even grabbing the anniversary poke at Foodland and planting my tail in KBay.
These are the memories this bowl evoked, yet here we are in Denver. haha! Yes, the spicy ahi has a kick to it and leaves your tongue tingling a bit. The ahi limu tames that spice and offers a hint of Hawaiian pink salt that gives you a taste of Hawaii.
Service is spot on and since this restaurant is part of the Denver Health building off Broadway, you get a super clean setup as they have only been opened a couple months. Remember to grab your Li Hing goodies on the candy wall too! Those flavors brought back memories of childhood too! Enjoy Aloha Friday specials but otherwise come down for a fresh bowl of poke. As the Terminator once said "I'll be back!" Oh yes, I will! Big mahalos for landing in Colorado!
