Poke Bowl-McHenry

There was a new worker here today that really didnt understand the menu. I ordered ponzu sauce(yellow bottle) as a topping and the dude sat there and basically took a guess and grabbed the green bottle(sesame oil). I told him that wasnt the ponzu, it very obviously wasnt too because of how thick it was and he doubled down and told me I was wrong. The ponzu bottle has always been the yellow one for the 10+ years ive been going here. I guess thats whatever but my big issue is that as I was walking out the persons coworker came up to them and told them they were wrong and pointed at the yellow bottle saying that was the ponzu. I paused at the door and looked at them and they looked at me and did nothing. I left feeling extremely disrespected. The sauce they gave me is sesame oil which people

My dining companion and I were surprised by the quality of the food in this understated, hole-in-the wall place. The ahi was notably fresh and the shrimp portion generous. I appreciated having four base options that included brown rice as one. Don't expect any atmosphere, but the bowls were just as we like them, the price good, and the service by the young ladies behind the counter excellent.

Alright, so we're in Modesto, so I wasn't expecting much, ya know? My honest take? The poke was alright. The fish was fresh and tasted good, and the options were fine. It's a bit pricey for what you get, though. I also got some musubi, and it was a total bummer. Huge pile of rice with, like, a tiny piece of Spam. Seriously, how do you skimp on Spam? It's supposed to be cheap eats! Come on! I didn't even bother taking a picture of the poke. The girl at the counter seemed annoyed to take our order. And the people at the next table said the same thing, so it wasn't just me. Overall, it's just okay. Bad service and bad musubi.

This is a very tasty bowl, I love that I get to pick my size then can mix and match my proteins. You pick your veggies, rice/greens, then sauce types. If it's your first time just tell them and they will walk you through it. This location is quick, efficient and fairly friendly depending on time of day. One detractor is getting to be price to portion. Use too get generous scoop of shrimp, salmon or scallops now seems to be smaller helping of everything AND the prices increased. So this has become a less frequent quick lunch or small meal because I feel it's more a fancy salad now and I can purchase all that for less expense and have multiple bowls.

I had high hopes for poke bowl mchenry since its close by me but it missed the mark for me. Fish was warm to the touch, didn't taste fresh at all and the krab tastes very off. Kind of fake? There are better options for poke bowls. Just definitely not this one.
