Looking to chow down on some Hawaiian fare? A new spot has you covered. The new arrival to Dupont Circle, called Aloha Poke, is located at 1333 19th St. NW.

It's the second D.C. outlet for the Chicago-based chain. (There's one in Union Station, too.) Its stock and trade is build-your-own poke bowls, using bases of white rice, brown rice or mixed greens; proteins that include salmon, tuna and tofu; toppings like ginger, scallion or tobiko (flying fish roe); and finishing sauces like wasabi, sesame oil and yuzu ranch.

A handful of signature bowls are available, too, like the Aloha, made with pineapple, cucumber, scallions, jalapeño, maui onion and a sesame vinaigrette.

The newcomer has made a good impression thus far, with a four-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Lauren R. added, “This spot is fast and delicious. The fish was fresh and I love that you can get it "naked." The sesame vinaigrette was really tasty but surprisingly on the sweeter side. The staff were welcoming and nice. ”

Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Aloha Poke is open from 10 a.m.–10 p.m. daily.
