Poke fans, take heed: there's a new spot in town to get your fix. The new addition to the Heights, called Pokéworks, is located at 213 Heights Blvd.
This is the latest addition to the Pokeworks family, which has various locations throughout the US and in Canada.
Like other poke spots, it's based around a build-your-own conceit. First, choose which style of meal you'd like—a bowl with kale noodles, rice or quinoa, a burrito with sushi rice wrapped with roasted seaweed, or a salad with fresh lettuce.
Then, select from a variety of proteins, like tuna, salmon, shrimp, tofu and more. Mix in whatever veggies you prefer, and then round the dish out with one of the signature sauces on offer, like ponzu, shoyu, wasabi aioli, or ginger.
There are also signature bowls like spicy ginger chicken, sweet chili tofu, shiso salmon, and more.
With a five-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh addition is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Dallas K., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on October 5th, said: "Awesome new restaurant. Really great selection of ingredients for poke. Everything was fresh and tasted great. They even have several iced tea choices that are really good."
Yelper Miss Chelsea S. added: “I don't usually hand out five stars but this place is in it for the win. Extremely fresh and clean establishment. The staff is really friendly and doesn't mind if you sample more than one item.”
And Angela D. said: "Food is great and fresh. I love that it's healthy and fast. I also like how they don't charge extra for any additional ingredients you may want to try. And the service is awesome."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Pokéworks is open daily from 11am–9pm.
