What you should know about Poke Island.
Poke Island draws inspiration from the traditional Hawaiian dish that has become a defining staple of California's coastal food scene.
Originally prepared by Hawaiian fishermen using freshly caught fish seasoned simply with salt, seaweed, and native ingredients, poke evolved into a celebrated island comfort food long before reaching mainland restaurants. When the dish arrived on the West Coast, chefs and restaurateurs expanded the concept into customizable bowls layered with rice, vegetables, and sauces that blend Hawaiian tradition with California's fresh, ingredient-driven dining culture. The result is a dish that feels both refreshing and satisfying while remaining endlessly customizable.
