An old local favorite with another location in Honolulu, Hukilau offers seven different flavors in Da Poke Menu.

All sorts of traditional Hawaiian fare is served here, including pork lau lau and the loco moco.

Fairly new to downtown San Jose, Da Kine brings the familiar flavors of Hawaii. Enjoy poke dishes here on the side of plenty of Spam-based dishes—a Hawaiian staple.

Poki Bowl offers customers a fast-casual approach, where bowls come with an option of rice or salad, and type of fish mix, sauce and toppings. The store is standing room only and the line moves quickly. There’s also Mavens Creamery macaroon ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

OCK makes just about the fanciest poke you ever did see. It comes in a tin box with a lid and is aptly named the Poke Box instead of bowl.

The fast casual poke craze has not missed Mountain View. Poke Bar places an emphasis on fresh and healthy—some options here contain quinoa and kale, gluten-free shoyu sauce and tofu. Poke can be ordered by weight in quarter-, half- or whole pound increments.
