What is Poke?

Poke (pronounced "poh-kay" and rhymes with okay) means "chunk" in Hawaiian.  Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish made typically of marinated seafood or meat cut into cubes.  The dish's origin is unknown, however, many agree that chunks of marinated seafood have been consumed for a long time by locals.  In grocery stores around Hawaii, you can find endless varieties including poke made using tuna, salmon and dressed with soy sauce and sesame oil to creamy mayonnaise, or ones garnished with kimchi or wasabi. 

At Poke Life, our menu celebrates the wide spectrum of Hawaiian cuisine.  We offer traditional spam musubi to various kinds of poke including tuna, unagi (eel) to hamachi.  The poke we serve starts with rice, mixed greens or a combination of both, topped with big chunks of seafood of your choice, garnished with toppings to your liking and finished with predominant flavors in dressings such as sesame shoyu to spicy mayo.
