One of our favorite things about Pokeworks that makes it stand out is the variety of ways you can get your poke. Aside from the classic poke bowls, you can change things up and get a poke salad, burrito, or nachos. The newest addition to their menu is the Luxe Lobster Bowl, made with delicate North Atlantic lobster, sweet surimi & juicy mandarin orange, fresh-cut veggies, and their signature ponzu sauce.
