Get to Know Our Pokeworks Ohana

From Island Inspiration to Global Flavor

In 2015, a group of friends, inspired by their travels to Hawaii and a shared passion for fresh, flavorful food, envisioned bringing the vibrant essence of poke to the mainland. This vision led to the creation of Pokeworks—a place where the spirit of the islands meets the energy of the city.

Pokeworks Burritos

A Culinary Sensation

Launching our first location in Midtown Manhattan, we introduced the world to the “sushi burrito,” a novel twist that quickly captured hearts and appetites. The buzz was undeniable, with lines forming out the door and a viral video amassing over 50 million views. Today, Pokeworks stands as a leader in the fast-casual poke scene, celebrated for our customizable bowls and burritos that cater to diverse tastes and lifestyles.
