Issho Ni Poke Bar

I love a good poke bowl, and Issho Ni Poke Bar in Mentor is a solid option in the area. I came in at around 1 pm on a Thursday afternoon and there were only a few patrons enjoying their lunch. The location is very clean and tidy, which I appreciated. Known for their poke bowls and sushi burritos, I wasn't sure if they did regular sushi rolls as well. The answer is no. They offer 5 different sushi burritos, including a giant rainbow, vegetarian, and a Tori karaage, which has chicken. I decided to get a poke bowl and opted for a mixed base with both rice and zucchini spirals. It's build your own style, so once you pick a base, you choose from the traditional toppings and then select your protein. I got the spicy tuna, which was minced and tossed in spices, as well as some fresh tuna chunks. The extra protein was a few dollars more and there is a charge for avocado, but it was worth it. Very fresh. I chose a spicy mayo sauce and got a Jasmine green tea to drink. They also give everyone a miso soup with your meal. My total was 22.51. Kind of pricey for a one lunch, but I did get extras. The bowl was fresh and filling, without being heavy at all. The spicy tuna wasn't too spicy (which I liked) but had just enough flavor. Service was friendly and the restaurant felt chill and comfortable. This is definitely a good spot for a quick lunch when you want something healthy and tasty.

I think this place is a solid choice if you're in the area.I stopped by on my way to apple picking with a friend. I opted for the gyudon bento box. The beef was fine, the veggie side was fine, the miso was fine. The rice would've been fine if they gave me less of it which feels like an odd thing to say. It came in onigiri shape and there were two of them. Honestly given how big and rice-heavy the onigiri was, one would've been more than enough. My friend got a tuna onigiri and she agreed it was very rice-heavy and large with not as much filing as she would've liked. She also got a donburi bowl and her feelings were the same - it was fine.

A Yelp highlight drew my attention to this absolute Gem in Mentor!!! I love Poke Bowls when fresh and done well. I can't believe this is the first time I've tried Issho Ni Poje Bar ! Thank you Yelp for bringing this to my attention. My husband ordered the Shoyu Chicken Ramen he loved it. Every bite was excellent. I ordered a single protein Poke bowl with Half Zudle & Half Pandan Rice as the base. Imitation Crabmeat, Tamago (Egg Custard), seaweed salad, Takuan (Pickled Daikon), jalapeño, cucumber Spicy Garlic Oil and ahi tuna. Wasabi Aioli and Kimchi Sauce (Spicy). Everything was fresh and combined it was absolutely delicious ! Also had the taro boba. My favorite and it was perfect. The right amount of ice, boba and great flavor!!Linda was kind patient and helpful. The artwork and bright colors were very refreshing. Don't let the location being in a strip mall deter you. Give it a try. You'll be grateful you did. The cost was reasonable and I can't wait to come back. Please come here if you like great fresh food and amazing service !

Service was friendly. Told the server that this was the first time here and he gave us time without rushing to make selections. Food prep took some time yet that was okay because he took his time and it wasn't premade in the back. Ordered a veg burrito which was excellent and fresh. The Tori Karaage was what my partner ordered. He was happy with his selection as well. He also got the spam roll. Cute colorful interior, good food, and friendly service. Miso soup was offered with our entrees too for free. Many Vegan and vegetarian options here too!

I got a poke bowl with tuna. It came with miso soup. All of it was super tasty - and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the rice was green! Endless toppings I had a difficult time choosing, but that's a great problem to have. Lots of beverages to choose from!We chose to sit down and the chairs are so comfortable. The interior is bright and pleasant, with tulips at each table. The owners are so sweet and personable. The woman who helped me with my order was very patient as I decided what toppings I wanted. Highly recommend this place! 10/10

I was in Mentor and stopped at Issho Ni Poke Bar for a quick lunch. The ambience of the restaurant is casual, bright, and clean. I had the Korean ramen. The noodles were tender and chewy and the broth was spicy, rich, and multi-layered in flavor. Issho Ni also offers delicious takoyaki, which I can't wait to try the next time I visit Mentor. With friendly staff, welcoming ambience, and delectable food offerings, Issho Ni is a gem! I beg you, please go. You will be so glad you did!

Love the sushi burritos! I've been craving burritos made from sushi and this place popped up. We tried four different sushi burritos minus the veggie one. Each one came with miso soup that was also amazing. If this was closer we would be back! They were quick on making it. We did take out but it was quiet when we entered as no one else was there but the two people working were super nice!

This is by far the best poke in Mentor! My wife and I were sad when Ginger sushi burrito closed because that was the only poke in town but this is a much better option. It's so good my wife who is not really that into Asian food craves this almost every week! The staff is always super friendly and always give us free miso soup with our order. The ingredients are very fresh and the flavor is top notch! This is also the first time we had green rice which is delicious and compliments the flavors well. The bowl looks small but there's a ton of food in there since they pack it with all the ingredients. This place is such a delightful addition to Mentor and we definitely want to try their other location in Willoughby. I highly recommended this place if you want a flavor packed meal!

The poke bowls are really good, and we go from time to time but I absolutely hate the seating. The metal stools are terrible. Every time I think about getting their food I have to really consider whether or not I want it bad enough to be uncomfortable the entire time we are there. Many times we have opted for other places just because of that. If you're ok with the seating the food is good!

Yummy and lots of variety and big servings! Winner for the entire family! We will definitely continue to support this restaurant. Take out experience - didn't eat in and it seems many get takeout or delivery type of options.
