Hawaiian Poke Bowl
Native Hawaiian-owned counter-serve restaurant south of downtown, built around ahi poke bowls and Hawaiian-style rice plates.
Poke is assembled rather than cooked, marinated raw fish over rice, which makes this one of the quicker sit-down meals in a city with comparatively few Pacific kitchens.
Context
Poke — the word means 'to cut crosswise into pieces' in Hawaiian — began as a fisherman's dish of trimmings seasoned with sea salt, seaweed and roasted kukui nut, and only took its modern soy-and-sesame form in the twentieth century. Furikake is the dry Japanese seasoning of sesame, seaweed and salt that arrived in the islands with Japanese plantation workers. Because nothing is cooked to order, a poke bowl is assembled in about the time it takes to pay for it.
