Select a signature poke bowl or make your own. You can even get your poke in a convenient handheld sushi burrito. I also can never resist the hokkaido boba with sea salt milk foam.
It’s only natural a sushi bar would have bangin’ poke. It’s filled with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, cucumber, avocado, and my favorite addition to any poke bowl: mango.
Sometimes great poke is found in a place you wouldn’t expect. Five5eeds is a popular brunch spot in Park City that serves a variety of foods. Don’t sleep on the poke bowl!
Savage Fish has locations in Millcreek and Orem and many say it’s the most authentic poke outside of the Hawaiian islands. Choose from their shoyu, spicy, or wasabi poke. If someone in your life is graduating soon, pick up a fresh flower lei here, too.
