“I’ve had poke in the past that’s served with ahi tuna, crushed up macadamia nuts, avocados and served with wonton chips, so I was brainstorming because I love both of them, so I thought why not, why not make a poke taco?” Kidd said. The restaurant also offers the poke option in a taco version, with all the similar ingredients stacked together in a wonton shell shaped like a taco, creating a range of different flavors and textures. The bowls are similar to smoothie bowls where it’s almost too pretty to eat. Different vegetable combinations vary from week to week, but it always amounts to be about a pound’s worth of food and costs $17. Customers had the option of a spicy version where the protein would be tossed in a spiced aioli sauce. Typically served in a bowl, poke features a layer of sticky rice topped with fresh, high-quality raw fish such as tuna, salmon or cooked shrimp and an array of fresh vegetables and herbs and some sauces for flavor.Īt Poke Hale last Monday, Kidd offered cubed salmon, tuna or shrimp protein options with sticky rice, cucumber, snow peas, pickled onion, pickled ginger, Thai basil, cilantro, spicy coleslaw, avocado and sesame seeds.
