Over the past few years, consumers have become increasingly health-conscious, often seeking meals that benefit their well-being. Many are looking for convenient meal plans or filling yet healthy options that align with their lifestyle. According to Fast Food Club, Pokeworks has responded to this demand by returning its fan-favorite bowl, which is set to be even better.

Pokeworks is reintroducing its Volcano Bowl, initially launched in 2019. This fiery dish quickly became a customer favorite, featuring Pokeworks’ signature Poke drizzled with their distinctive Lava Sauce.

Inspired by Hawaiian Traditions, Pokeworks Expands Its Menu with Three New Poke Bowls in NYC

Pokeworks was inspired by numerous trips to Hawaii, where Poke Bowls are a popular dish. This inspiration led to the introduction of Poke Bowls in Manhattan, New York, and has since expanded to share the flavorsof Hawaii with a broader audience.

Poke Bowls contain marinated raw seafood mixed with vegetables and various sauces for those unfamiliar. Compared to sushi but without seaweed wraps, Poke Bowls have become a staple on Pokeworks’ menu, and the brand remains dedicated to serving them fresh daily. Recently, Pokeworks introduced three new Poke Bowls to its menu.

• Spicy Ponzu Albacore Bowl - For those who enjoy a spicy kick, the Spicy Ponzu Albacore Bowl features Spicy Ponzu Albacore Tuna as the main ingredient, accompanied by classic Poke toppings like onion, cucumber, mango, green onions, and sesame seeds. The bowl has ponzu sauce and spicy furikake to enhance the heat.

• Plant-Based Tuna Bowl - Reflecting Pokeworks' commitment to inclusivity, the Plant-Based Tuna Bowl offers a plant-based tuna option made by Impact Foods. This bowl is complemented by traditional Poke fillings such as onion, cucumber, and edamame. It is enhanced with pineapple, cilantro, sweet chili gochujang, and sweet shoyu for a sweet and spicy flavor. Toppings include seaweed salad, green onions, sesame seeds, and spicy furikake.
