Poke Saigon ordering method and dining experience sharing
There are not many seats in the shop. It is recommended that you avoid the peak dining time and reduce the waiting time. There are places both inside and outside. However, children and boys are afraid of heat. We still choose indoor air-conditioned seats.Once you find the location, you can order food at the counter.First of all, first confirm the amount you want. A bowl of Poke is priced at 15 VND (about 195 NT dollars), while a large serving is 30 VND. Usually, you order a regular portion and a glass of drink to be full!
Next is to choose rice. There are three options of sushi rice, brown rice and salad. The clerk is very fluent in English and will guide you to choose the ingredients and sauces for the rice bowl. He said that these ingredients are cooked in the central kitchen and delivered to the branch. They are all on the same day. It was made on-site and explained how to match the taste. So most of my bowl is to choose the ingredients I like and recommend it to the clerk. Finally, I help Wendy Burger and his son to order coconut juice and watermelon juice to prepare to enjoy the food.
