Hokey Poke
Raw Poke Bar, 1304 E. Las Olas Blvd., rawpokebar.com
Long a favorite in Hawaii, this cuisine – pronounced po-KAY – is making waves on Las Olas. Customers can create their own poke bowl or burrito. Try their most highly requested signature dish, the Kona bowl. This fast, healthy, casual food may come from the Pacific, but sounds like it should fit in fine near our beach.
