JJ‘s POKE & CAFE 3号店

This Hawaiian poke located in Gongguan is a favorite among students and nearby office workers. It allows for quick mixing of desired toppings into the bowl for an easy and satisfying meal.

Compared to other pokes, the starting price for adding protein is 149 TWD, which feels a bit more expensive than other places. The staff's politeness could also be improved when taking orders. Additionally, the dining environment is more self-service, and staff don’t actively check on diners. If there are leftover food scraps, sauces, or drink stains from previous diners at the selected table, you may need to take care of that yourself.

This time, I chose the dual-salad bowl, which consists of equal parts lettuce and rice. From the protein selection of four, I chose shrimp and meatballs. For the vegetables, I selected edamame, pumpkin, baby corn, and cucumber, topped with spicy mayonnaise and garnished with green onions. Overall, the flavor was average—neither particularly bad ingredients nor anything that stood out. Although the dual option allows for tasting two types of protein, the portions of each are slightly smaller, which can be seen as both a pro and a con.

In short, dining here can be described as a hearty meal without needing to have high expectations.
