Instead I went with a mix of spicy mayo and sweet Thai sauce-a perfect combination.

I’m a fan of spice, so I sampled the chili sauce before lathering it on my fish-a good choice since it was just a tad too spicy for me. Though shrimp and scallops would be obvious choices for me, I decided to go traditional with tuna and get a little adventurous with the exotic yellow fin tuna-a premium choice that comes with a dollar upcharge-and some tofu. Next was the daunting decision of what seafood to select to protein pack my lunch. I opted for the healthier carbohydrate of brown rice. The options were white rice, brown rice, spring mix salad or nachos. The atmosphere at Poki Bowl Express is fast casual, so I stepped up to order just as I would at a Subway or Chipotle.įirst, I had to choose a base for my bowl.

With Poki Bowl Express so close to home, I was out of excuses. My delicious poke from Poki Bowl Express.Ī sushi fan and general foodie, I had wanted to try poke (pronounced poh-keh) for some time but never quite got around to it since I so often opt for Chick-fil-A when on the opposite side of town.

Now, thanks to Poki Bowl Express, which held its official grand opening Friday, June 30, this trendy and healthy cuisine is available just a mile from my Sunnyside residence. Over the past year or so, I’ve witnessed this newfound trend emerge on the north side of town with the popularity of PokiLand and Butterfish California Poke and have wondered when, if ever, my neck of the neighborhood would ever see a restaurant offering the Hawaiian-style, sushi-grade-fish dishes. The local poke craze has finally made its way to Fresno’s east side.
