Poke bowls have always been a popular item in Hawaii (even before it started trending on the mainland). But businesses have gotten creative with the concept and poke bowls now take on a whole new meaning. Instead of just rice and poke, you can get poke bowls with all sorts of enticing add-ons, toppings, sides, etc. to spruce up the taste and appeal.
At Poke and Box, you get to create your own gourmet "hand-mixed" poke box from start to finish, and you get to see it made right before your eyes.
Here's how you order:
1) Select your size - small, medium or large. The larger the size, the more protein and topping selections you get.

2) Choose your POKEBOXBASE™
- Rice or salad
- Avocado
- Crab Meat
- Cucumbers
- Raw Onions
- Green Onions
You can have all six if you want. My recommendation - take all 6!
3) Choose your POKEBOXMIX™
- Fresh Ahi
- Salmon
- Tako
- Hokkaido Scallops
- Cooked Shrimp
- Tofu
- Chicken
Since I ordered a small box, I was only allowed to choose one. I chose my favorite - salmon.
3) Choose your POKEBOXSAUCE™
- Shoyu
- Aja spicy shoyu
- Go Chu Jang
- Creamy Sesame
- Wasabi Mustard
- Mild Spicy
- Hot Spicy
- Very Spicy
I'm not into creamy sauces or hot sauces, I went with shoyu.
After the sauce is added, watch them hand-mix your poke right before your eyes!

4) Choose your POKEBOXTOPS™
- Nori Seaweed
- Dried Onion
- Furikake
- Tempura Flakes
I was only allowed to choose one, so I chose the tempura flakes.
 |
- Green Onion
- Corn § Jalapeño
- Pineapple
- Purple Cabbage
- Daegu
- Pickled Ginger
- Kim Chee
- Daikon
- Choy Sum
- Sesame
- Taro Chips
- Ocean Salad
- Masago
- Edamame
- Pine Nuts
- Sliced Almond
Again, I was only allowed one choice, so I chose the edamame.

@WeHeartHawaii ordered the small Poke Box with salad, mild spicy ahi, nori seaweed and radish sprouts.
I really liked my Poke Box. The fish tasted fresh and I liked the base and toppings offered. The portion is pretty small though, so I would recommend getting the medium, especially since you get more choices with the larger boxes.
@WeHeartHawaii would have liked his more if he had known that the mild spicy sauce was cream-based. Had he known that, he would have opted for a different sauce and probably would have enjoyed his box more.
