Rocky Fin Poke Bar

I'm pretty baffled by the high ratings because this wasn't good at all, and there were a lot of issues. To start, the place smelled when we walked in. The restaurant was dirty, and there were open shipping boxes of utensils just sitting out. The guy behind the counter didn't seem very happy to be there, and seemed impatient. We received very thick plastic to-go packaging even though we were eating in there, not a very environmentally conscious move especially since the bowls didn't fit in the recycling they had in there. And to receive to-go packaging without being asked if we're taking it to go feels unwelcome as if they don't want us eating there. Food-wise, the bowl was completely absent of flavor and the fish was really chewy, didn't feel fresh, and cut in very small cubes. The veggies (cucumbers and tomatoes) were huge on the other hand, so the fish really got lost in the bowl and the bowl ended up eating like a rice, cucumber and tomato bowl. The positives are that the size of the bowl was pretty large, and I didn't get sick. There are many better poke places in the area, I wouldn't recommend coming here.

Hot take, but after giving it some attempts, I feel like Rocky Fin is overrated. If you're in the neighborhood, it definitely beats Asuka. The taste is fresh, and the presentation pleasing. But the quantity leaves a lot to be desired. The first bowl I ordered had the fish hidden, as did the second. And when you dig around, it's easy to see why. "Two scoops" equates to two tablespoons. The amount of rice was scant too (maybe a half a centimeter of overly dry rice at the bottom). Even the amount of cucumber was sparse. I'm sympathetic to inflationary considerations, but for $16 I can't say this is worth it to me. Especially not compared to competitors like Poke City.

Great poke bowls! Full of fresh fish and lots of great toppings. Fast and affordable.

All in all the food was decent, portion size was good. When I dined in it was one employee, hard worker for sure. The dining area was quiet when we arrived. The main thing I would suggest is for organizing their front area where they order. One of the plastic barriers screens fell off the ceiling, poor guy tried to do it all on his own and it knocked over all the utensils they had right on the counter where they had everything. I helped the guy out in the end. The only thing is that there was one main utensils area on one side of the room and one up front where you ordered but the one next to the ordering station was cluttered and disorganized which led to the whole mess since the boxes of utensils were left on the counter. That was my main suggestion. Addressing the organization and doing something about the layout. They don't need that plastic barrier either, seems like a headache.

Love that they have eel sauce now so officially deserves 5/5 Yummy yum yum yom nom nom

I've been hearing about this place for a while and I finally made the decision to try it. I ordered their Ichiban bowl, which comes with different kinds of fish and masago. It was delicious! I loved how simple yet good this bowl was! I will definitely be back!

When I used to work downtown, I loved to pick up a poke bowl from Tokyo Joe's for lunch (judge me if you want) but I haven't had one from there or anywhere else in quite some time. My bowl from Rocky Fin was filling but still light and refreshing for this hot summer day. I really loved the variety of options including proteins like red snapper and toppings like masago, seaweed salad, and squid salad which I definitely was not gonna get from Tokyo Joe's. The one thing I missed in all that variety was a more sesame oil-forward shoyu sauce, but with such friendly service and being so close in my neighborhood, I would definitely come back here again when I've got poke bowl money to spend.

YUMI really should leave this review as YUM because this was a great poke bowl. I got the Signature with 1/2 brown rice and mix. Sauce was spicy and tasty and so many toppings. Very filling.

Every relationship has its ups and downs. If you don't spend time trying to address those problems they fester and you grow apart. So it's a good thing that when I told RFPB that I thought we needed to go into therapy to strengthen our relationship and work through some of the friction points we were experiencing RFPB was in total agreement.We met for lunch a couple of times and at first things didn't go that well (see last review) so I was concerned and depressed. But the last couple of times we've gotten together (yup, for lunch), we seemed to have been able to work through things and now I can say we're tighter than ever.I'm back to calling her my Duchess and I hope I'm still her Duke.Attached are some pix from friends of mine.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERYI ordered twice in a row and never received my food. That's the worst when you're stuck at work. Entire lunch break spent on the phone with support. If they're using in house drivers, they are the worst. If not, they're still the worst.
