Charm City Poke & Mochi

This local spot reminds me of traditional authentic Hawaiian poke. The poke bowls are delicious and the ingredients are very fresh. You can build your own poke bowl. Which I love to do as there are so many options to choose from. Or you can opt for a premade combo which is good if you are indecisive or don't know what to mix. They also serve spam Musubi, another traditional Hawaiian dish that I like a lot. But I like spam. On this trip I opted for ramen as it was suggested by Naa who works there. I got the spicy tonkotsu which was very flavorful. It did not taste too spicy to me because I really like things extra spicy. So I might not be the best judge of spice level. If you like pork belly in your ramen such as myself it is listed on the menu as chashu. They also have beef, chicken and veggie add ons. If you want something sweet they also have mochi donuts. You can order on the kiosk. Or at the counter. The kiosk is super easy and convenient. Or you can order at the counter. The menu is on display monitors. Or there are paper menus. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They will explain the menu to you and make suggestions if you need help deciding. You can watch them make your food as the space has an open layout. This is one of my favorite places to grab lunch.

Have to give 3 stars for now. Went with a group of coworkers and it was all our first time. We waited 40 mins for our orders. I had the Spicy Rainbow Bowl. It was explained the shop had a huge online order which caused all other orders to be delayed. Food wise..the bowl was drowning in sauce. It didn't look like the picture at all. Maybe it did before they doused it in spicy sauce. I'll never know. I really wanted to give 1 star but will give it another shot again in case it's an aberration. If it's a repeat then I'll update to 1 star. On the bright side my coworker tells me the mochi donuts are amazing. So at least there's that. Will update when I revisit.

I really appreciate BYO places like this that allow you to maximize your toppings- as a veggie lover, I need this! There's usually only 1-2 people working but they make all the food fresh and I love the flavors. They take their time to prep things and are extremely kind. The mochi donuts are alright, a little greasy but good flavor. I like sitting outside to eat especially during the sunset over the harbor. I like ordering via the kiosk as well.

Charming albeit quiet spot in the old PLANT juice place in Harbor Point, next to Ceremony Coffee. They kept much of the decor of the juice store so it's bright and airy. I've stopped for their mochi donuts a few times - fun to eat with a chewier texture but a little greasy. I got their poke bowl for the first time and it wasn't bad. I especially liked the build your own options and they didn't charge extra for a lot of toppings which I always appreciate. It's all kiosk ordering and the staff is mainly there to build the bowl. There was one person working when I went in and he was super friendly. The donut area was complete sold out as I went in the afternoon and there's a drink fridge with fun drinks. I'll definitely be back for a poke / mochi donut craving.

I enjoyed the food a lot! The fish quality was good and the spam musubi had the perfect rice to spam ratio. I only wish I knew how much food I was getting before getting both! Definitely don't regret either because they tasted great!!

So great to have a poke place within walking distance from the office. I came here for a late lunch over the week and ordered the Hawaiian Classic. The bowl was very flavorful, ingredients were fresh and great tasting overall. I also tried the Hawaiian Sun canned green tea lychee drink which was really good. The staff were friendly and service was quick. They have a couple kiosk machines you can order from or directly at the cashier. A great new spot for a quick and great meal!

I thought the poke was great for the price, and jam packed. The interior dining experience is... limited, to say the least. There's only like two spots to sit.

This place is always delicious. Not just the bowls but the steamed buns are definitely a favorite. I tell everyone in my office to eat here. Definitely try them out! ^_^

In town for business and picked up an order of the spam musubi, the sunset roll and ramen with chicken to go. The Spam musubi was very delicious! However, the Sunset Roll and ramen were a miss for me. The fish in the sushi roll was really fishy. And the ramen was lacking flavor. I'd only return to try the mochi and get the spam musubi again.

Cute hidden gem with more options than you might expect...sushi, açaí bowl, Raman noodles. Give it a try...y'all thank me later!
