Hawaii Poke Bowls opened its first Lehigh Valley location in August of 2018, and has since become a fan favorite for its authentic Hawaiian cuisine. Li Zheng, owner of the family-run business, was inspired to open Hawaii Poke Bowls after trying them in Staten Island and wanted to bring the dish to the masses in the Valley. “We love to bring new food and culture to this area for everyone to experience,” she says. “Poke is relatively new in its popularity, and usually only available in larger cities—but we wanted to bring that back to ours.” Poke is Hawaiian for diced meat, which does make up the bulk of the bowls, but there is much more to the dish.
Customers first pick their base, then their protein, add vegetables, their sauce and then their toppings for a wholesome and utterly unique flavor experience. For those who aren’t interested in customizing, Hawaii Poke Bowls offers six signature bowls—the most popular being the Spicy Ahi. Zheng recommends topping any bowl variation with the House Poke Sauce. “We really want to spread awareness of Poke Bowls because of how different they are compared to the other healthy options in the Valley,” says Zheng. “It’s genuine, fast, healthy, completely customizable and unlike anything in the region.”
