I love poke. How can I not give Poke Express 5 stars.
The choices that you can get here at Poke Express are amazing. Kim Chee poke, Spicy Avocado Poke, Salmon Poke (I need to try that one!!!) The list goes on and on. Just imagine a regular super market deli but all poke! All of the pokes run about $16.99 per lb which is kinda steep but you indulge in this flavorful poke any chance you get.
I have only had the Spicy Avocado Poke but it was amazing. They let us try out the poke before buying it which is really nice of them, considering each piece is a hefty chunk of the almost extinct tuna... my bad mother earth, tuna tastes too darn good. My family was able to share a 1/2 lb container with our lunch and have some extra.
The first time I passed by Poke Express I thought they were still building the store because it is surrounded by a bunch of empty store fronts. Second time I saw the actual store and almost slapped myself in the face for missing it the first time. There is a second location inside of Island Sushi in the Plaza hotel but it is a more limited selection of flavors. It may be more convenient to get to though!
The owner is super nice and he is fun to talk to. My parents had a nice little convo about back home in Hawaii. I will definitely be coming back to load up on some more poke flavors! It goes great with the plate lunches down the street at 808 Mixed Plate, another one of my favorites :D
