Hawaiian Poke Bowl Bar

SpiceBreeze

The Hawaiian word "poke" (pronounced Poh-keh) means "to slice." Originally, poke was a quick snack made from fresh fish fillet bites mixed with salt, seaweed, and crushed nuts. The influence of immigrants introduced a wide variety of poke bowls, with Japanese-style bowls becoming the most popular worldwide. There are also many non-fish versions available. Which is your favorite at the Poke Bowl Bar?
