ABOUT
Starting a Movement
When Trish and her husband, Jason, opened Poké-Poké in 2010, it was by all accounts the first poke restaurant in Los Angeles. They had become huge fans of the Hawaiian dish of dressed raw fish while visiting O'aha just six months earlier. Upon returning home to Los Angeles, they were shocked to discover that not a single poke restaurant existed in a city where sushi is king. The next thing they knew, they were signing a lease to the Venice Beach location. Today, they are bringing creative ahi poke to both Los Angeles and Austin!
Most people return from Hawaii with photos, fond memories, and island-themed trinkets. Poké-Poké co-founders Trish and Jason brought back a new food passion—and a business plan, too. When the perfect storefront location became available, the stars aligned, and a new local landmark was born.
