2019 City Guide To Poké in Austin

#atxbesteats 2019 AFBA City Guide

Poké has become more prevalent over the past few years and I for one am a huge fan! Yearly I contribute to the AFBA City Guide with an updated sushi guide and a poke guide. Here is a mouthwatering look at some of the poké our wonderful city has to offer:

Malibu Poke

211 Walter Seaholm, Ste. 115,Austin, Texas 78701

Hours: Open Daily 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Sheik Poke Shop Dallas bread Malibu Poke opened on November 10th at the Seaholm District. The chef centric menu consists of healthy ingredients and utilizes a high tech ordering system. Customers may enjoy chef created poke bowls or create their own with a seemingly limitless of combinations of ingredients! Their house made sauces will delight with smoked bonito aioli, coconut curry, Japanese sancho pepper, red miso, daikon, umami powder, marinated shitake mushrooms, signature sauce and more. I loved that they let you try the sauces before deciding on your ingredients and they also let you order on the side right from the kiosk! While they offer an impressive variety of raw seafood options, they also offer an incredible variety of cooked options, gluten-free and vegan, to include a completely Whole30 compliant bowl.
