Poki Spot review, make your own chirashi bowl

in #food6 years ago

A new poki place opened up just down the street named PokiSpot, so I (of course) went in to give it a try.

If you enjoy seafood, you would probably like poki as it is basically raw tuna with seasoning over rice. The ahi tuna is a very mild tasting fish and can be easily overpowered depending upon which seasoning is used with it.

Most poki places have a variety of proteins to select from.

You can select any or all of the other ingredients which are usually vegetables.

More veggies like corn, cucumber, green onions, lettuce, onions, tomatoes...

I got all tuna for the protein, onions, green onions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, spicy soy sauce over sushi rice. It was pretty good, $12. I'll be back!

You can easily make your own poki bowl or chirashi bowl if you have an asian market around. Especially a Japanese specific market as they tend to sell various sashimi packages that are already sliced and ready to eat.
Here is a small bowl that I made a few months ago, some of the ingredients. The cucumbers were just sliced with soy and seasoned rice vingar.

Cook some short grain rice and mix with seasoned rice vinegar to make sushi rice.

The end product: Tuna, salmon, hamachi tuna, ika (squid), cucumbers and a seaweed salad. Easy to make as there is no cooking!

I was just in one of these places for the first time last week. I've had the dish at Japanese restaurants before, but this place was pretty much exactly like what you show in your photos. It's weird because they say they're not a chain, but apparently they all have the same setup?

I think these poki places are a bit of a fad, there are also a lot of local chains.

Wow.....I am craving Hawaiian Poki with seaweed and hawaiian salt and wasabi with special soysauce mix . You ever ate Hawaiian style Ahi ( Hawaiian tuna) poki prepared at home.

Drink Saki or Korean Soju with it.....the best...
Missing Hawaii where I lived there for 25 years.

My favorite is the hawaiian style poke! I visited both Oahu and Maui like 4 times in 6 years in the 1990's...

Looks really nice! I just posted some Sushi. Please check my post as well. Best wishes from Germany!
