Hauoli Poke Teppan - Denton

I really like this little hole in the wall place. I especially love the build your own bowl. I've been here a number of times and it's always been fresh and yummy. Not the best I've ever had but for the consistent freshness, service and great value for the money, it deserves 5 stars. I would recommend!

Conveniently located off of University close to alot of shopping centers. I thought the restaurant was cute and loved the decals on the walls. I decided to build my own bowl with salmon, edamame, cucumber, mango and a couple of other goodies that escape me at the moment. I thought the flavors were pretty good but thought there could have been more protein. Not a bad price point though and the customer service was great!

Not the best sushi or poke I've had, even in Texas. The amount of seafood provided seemed a little small in comparison. And pandemic restrictions in full force like plastic walls between customers and staff, which was off-putting and made communication more difficult than necessary. But flavors were good, ingredients fresh. Staff friendly, to the extent I could understand them through a microphone and speaker. Parking abundant in the strip mall lot. Traffic on University makes it hard to return towards downtown and the square after your meal, as you need to make an unsignalled left after crossing three or four lanes of oncoming traffic. Try snaking through the parking lots to Bonnie Brae. Although everything was delivered at the same time (I hate that), we started with Edamame, which was served warm with quite a bit of salt. Really good size serving for two of us. I had the signature ahi tuna bowl and it had good flavors. Not huge, but I left satisfied. I did split a spicy tuna roll with my wife though. Note the roll comes with a mayo-based sauce on it. Unusual for spicy tuna. Also there was a touch of crunch to the roll. Again unusual but very subdued and I kind of liked it. $44 for two bowls, a sushi roll, edamame and two bottled drinks. Fairly austere interior and furniture only moderately comfortable. But it did seem clean and was quiet, despite the presence of a few other diners. Low volume Christmas tunes being played, which was appropriate for the time of year but doesn't say Japan of course. Not a place I would go out of my way for. But, I may go again when in the area.

I paid $14 basically for a bowl of lettuce. This place goes the cheapest way out and I absolutely will not be back. Terrible experience.

Our go-to poke place in town! Great choices for the build-your-own-bowls and the service is always consistent!
