Hoki Lunchroom Observation

Observation I visited Hoki Poki on Monday at 12:00 p.m. during lunch hour. When I got there I noticed there were people sitting down and others in line waiting to order. From what I was able to observe I noticed that the majority of people were workers and only a few seemed to be students. Throughout my observation, I noticed there was a steady volume of people coming in and it began to slow down as it got closer to 1. The majority of people that came during lunch hour got to-go plates and the ones that ate their meal there spent roughly 20-30 minutes there. Almost everyone that came in ordered the regular poke bowl and only one person ordered a burrito, which is similar to a California roll. Aside from their bowls and burritos, Hoki Poki offers Boba tea, hot tea, seaweed paper, spam musubi, and miso soup. However, I did not see anyone order any of these items. I did notice that their prices are a bit high for the portions they serve. Although compared to similar restaurants in the Dallas area, Hoki Poki’s prices are lower.
However, places that are study spots often offer Wi-Fi and Hoki Poki does not. Perhaps if Wi-Fi was offered the restaurant would see an increase in student volume. Additionally, people like to accompany their study sessions with either tea or coffee and even though the restaurant offers hot and cold teas their placement on the menu is barely noticeable. When I ordered my meal I completely missed the additional food items because they were too far off to the corner. According to their website, they also offer fruit smoothies but I did not see them listed anywhere on the
