WHY OKE POKE?
Since its inception in 2015, Oke Poke has remained steadfast in its commitment to serving the freshest ingredients while embracing the spirit of Hawaiian culture. Inspired by a passion for fresh fish, produce, and a healthy lifestyle, we've embarked on a mission to introduce the mainland to the exquisite flavors of poke – a classic Hawaiian dish comprising diced, raw fish and creative mix-ins.
The heart and soul of Oke Poke lies in its ability to blend tradition with innovation, resulting in a menu that caters to both the purists and the adventurous foodies. Each bowl tells a story, a narrative of flavors that harmoniously dance on the palate. The "build-your-own" poke bowls and pokerritos are a canvas for culinary creativity, where fresh and ethically sourced produce and fish come together with a spectrum of house-made sauces. Oke Poke now invites passionate entrepreneurs to join them on their mission to spread the joy of fresh and flavorful poke bowls while upholding their values of sustainability and excellence.
When you bring Oke Poke to your market, you’re offering more than a poke bowl - you’re introducing your community to a family-owned, people first company. Our people experience, empower, and inspire others to learn, grow, and uplift each other. This translates to the exceptional guest experience Oke Poke is known for. We believe in a simple yet powerful concept; treat your staff and community well, and they will return the favor.
THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
The global poke market is projected to grow significantly, from $7.8 billion in 2023 to $12.8 billion by 2032. By bringing Oke Poke to your market, you're not just serving poke bowls—you're introducing your community to a family-owned, people-first brand. At Oke Poke, we believe in empowering our team to inspire and uplift others, which translates directly into the exceptional guest experience we're known for. Our core philosophy is simple yet impactful: when you treat your staff and community with care, they’ll do the same in return.
Poke bowls have moved far beyond being just a passing trend. Their continued popularity comes from offering a fresh, customizable, and health-conscious dining option that appeals to those seeking sustainability and wellness. With a variety of wholesome ingredients and heart-healthy proteins, poke bowls are a smart choice for modern diners. Oke Poke brings this appeal to life with high-quality ingredients, thoughtful service, and a mission rooted in community and care.
