WHAT IS POKE?
​​​
Poke is a classic Hawaiian dish comprised of diced, raw fish and various mix-ins. Poke is the Hawaiian verb for 'section' or 'to slice or cut.' This staple dish has become increasingly popular on the mainland.
Oke Poke derives similar characteristics from traditional poke but adds a modern touch. We specialize in custom \build-your-own\ poke bowls and pokerritos. Using only the freshest and ethically sourced produce and fish, paired with a wide selection of our house made sauces, you are sure to find a flavor that suits your palate.
