About
An Asian spot in Playa del Coco, walkable from the beach, with AC inside and a nice outdoor area. Diners come back for the poke bowls (the tuna-guac with fried dough chips is a favorite), sweet-and-sour chicken with egg fried rice, wonton tacos, and garlic-ginger stir fry. Friendly, attentive staff and more affordable than the quality suggests. One heads-up: the poke can take a while, so relax into pura vida.

It’s always tough to decide whether to give 5 stars or take one off for small things but after some thought, I’m sticking with 5 stars! The only minor issue was the waiting time. In my world, a poke bowl is a kind of fast food a simple dish where you just layer pre cut ingredients over rice and add sauces. In my case, it took about 30 minutes to get the bowl, even though the place wasn’t crowded. But then I told myself: we’re in beautiful Costa Rica jst relax and enjoy! Everything else was great: very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and reasonable prices. My favorite was the tuna-guac an amazing combo with a nice texture, a hint of lemon and red onion, plus freshly fried dough chips. I’d definitely come back and order a double portion next time! The poke itself was nicely balanced. I’d personally add a bit more sauce, but that’s just my preference. So, as I said 5 stars. Pura Vida!
A fantastic spot with a precious outdoor seating area, an esthetically pleasing interior and fabulous service. Our server, Josue/Raul was extremely attentive, the food fresh and tasty. A definite recommend if in Coco or at the second location in Liberia.
The food was delicious, I had a sweet & sour chicken with egg fried rice . I would say it’s a bit in the pricey side but you will have a nice meal . Only Petfriendly outside for us it wasn’t a problem because there’s a fan on top of the outside space :) EDIT: I must edit this review , this was the first place I went in the area and I might have been harsh . There was more expensive places with lower quality, so deffo go here it was my favorite in the area !!! More affordable than I thought! Keep the good work
