  In the same way I call all these pop up Poke spots Chipoke this too is in the build your own bowl sort of fast food eating. Camp Pendleton has never really been a destination for food, so people living on base can come and go freely, but those without access have really never been left wanting as the selection off base is 100X’s better than off base. With that selection you are also going to get the same quality scale bell curve you find anywhere.
  
  It’s a bit of a cross between a Yoshinoya and a poke spot, L&L with sashimi bowls.
  
  Obviously one of the biggest criticisms in the poke bowl craze is that the rice is plain white, there is not vinegar preparation, no sushi rice. Well they went too far and over vinegar some of their rice. The paddle technique is likely not used and certainly not the spray bottle technique and they for sure use way too much. It has it’s place on fish bowls, but nothing else. I like the imitation crab meat because I actually prefer the Hawaiian over mayo style. You can’t deny the Hawaiian influence with the spam on the menu as a hot protein. Some seaweed paper, some edamame, but severely lacking options. Their grab and go options sit somewhere between a sushi restaurant and grocery store sushi. They do not have the full menu like the Bonita location. Chicken tasted like it was just marinated in soy.
  
  The place is new and it’s pretty clean in that sort of on base feel. Like how they basify things from how other franchises look off base. The staff is pretty friendly, but anytime you have a business on base they have some say on staff. You have to remember Military bases are like little islands unto themselves in certain ways.
  
  Seeing spam on the menu I asked if they had eggs and they did not.
  
  If I’m ever riding through base again I’ll stop off, but it’s not worth going on base just for this.
