Poke' /poʊˈkeɪ/ (Hawaiian for "to slice" or "cut crosswise into pieces...
Poke' has become real popular lately, and people are starting up little shops all over, but be careful, because poke' is Raw Fish...
Poke' is typically bought by the pound, you just go in pick your fish and they fill it up in a tub and you go on your way...
Other places get a little creative and create bowls with fish and rice and other ingredients to not only give it a little flavor explosion, but it creates a nice appearance...
Another thing you need to be looking for is if their fish is frozen or fresh, if it's frozen say, have a nice day and leave, only go with fresh...
You also want to look for a place that knows what they got and can walk the walk and talk the talk, if they don't know where their fish came from, leave...
Another thing we like, kinda personal to us, is that we like to go to places that are out of the way, or unlikely of places, like their appearance is either simple, or misleading...
We're pretty sure we found that place, it's in Kent Washington called, Green Valley...
Green Valley is a Chinese restaurant and has been a Chinese restaurant for almost 20 years, it's only added Poke' in the last couple of years and it was a smart idea...
This place was already a popular place with great Chinese food, now their a popular place for their Poke' as well...
The bulk of their fish is flown in fresh daily from Hawaii, but they also buy local for some of their fish, like Salmon...
They serve Poke' Tuesday thru Saturday, don't come on Monday for Poke' because you'll be leaving with Chinese food, which is fantastic...
Hope you enjoy...
