Carson City area's second Poke restaurant opening soon on Highway 50
Poke is on the rise, and the second restaurant of its kind, Poke Beach, is set to open up shop on Highway 50 in Carson City, according to signage above the door of its soon-to-be home.
Located in the shops on E. William Street next to Starbucks and H&R Block, Poke Beach announced it will be moving in soon.
Poke (pronounced Poh-Keh) has been on the rise in recent years, an offshoot of sushi that originated in Hawaiian cuisine. The literal translation of Poke is “cut into chunks” which is precisely what Poke is: raw fish cut into chunks, served as either an appetizer or a main course in Hawaiian traditional cuisine.
While traditional Poke is simply seasoned fish, as with most cuisine it has been modified and adapted, and now most Poke Bars serve Poke Bowls, which include raw seasoned fish, rice, and additions such as avocado, onions, jalapeño, and a choice from several different sauces. Sort of a deconstructed sushi roll that you build yourself.
We’ll update with an official opening date as information becomes available.
PokeDoke, located at Topsy Lane in the Carson Valley Plaza next to In-n-Out Burger opened Feb. 4 of this year. Go here for the story.
