My latest ADDICTION!!!!
This is one of the hottest food trends in New York right now.Even though I know it is extremely popular in other parts of the country, it pretty much just hit NY this year. A really popular place called Pokeworks opened up near my office a few months back, but I never tried it because there are literally lines out the door. Me and wifey were walking past the place over the weekend and it was less crowded, so we tried it out. It is everything I have ever wanted in a dish! I live very close, so I went back on Sunday and I got so sad that I wasn't going to be able to eat there everyday. Turns out there is another poke place even closer to my office that isn't so crowded.
Bodybuilding related because it is the ideal bodybuilding food.

Kwon, you should consider leaving your parents' basement and trying a poke bowl!

Dude. It's my favorite. Yeah it's fading everywhere now. The best poke is Costco. For two years now they have it Friday -Sunday. They get overnight shipments from Hawaii. I love limu poke. Primarily for the OGO (red seaweed). I get one pound every Friday. All of a sudden there are a dozen poke places around. They are okay and don't have ogo which to me means it's not poke. When I'm in Hawaii I go to food land. They have 30 types of poke for about $5 a pound. Fucking insane.
EDIT- forgot this is getbig so I poke your mom last night.

Where do you live where they get it at Costco? We only have one costco here (in Harlem) and I'm positive they don't get it lol. Is it packaged or something?
The funny thing is I was in Hawaii about four years ago and didn't take the opportunity to try poke. I thought it looked good and I LOVE rice bowls (gyudon, burrito bowls), but I was just like "I can get fish and rice anytime". In retrospect, it might have been a good thing because I might have considered flying back out there just to get some.

SoCal Costco. It's fresh. They have those little seafood booths on weekends and they sell 4 kinds. Limu, wasabi, spicy mayo and sea asparagus. All awesome.
-
My Hawaiian girlfriend turned me on to it. Love that shit.

Poke is a staple in my house. Costco makes a pretty good poke, but if you are ever in Hawaii you need to try Umeke's or the poke shack. They make a spicy mayo poke similar to Costco, but it also has avocado in it👍🏼

The fat hawaiins that go to costco gobble up the spicy mayo. They sell out of that one super fast. I don't like the mayo at all, just a few bites. The Limu is where it's at.

Will try spicy mayo next. My current fav is the wasabi poke. The garlic shrimp is good too!

GLORIFIED SUSHI, without the benefit of the tasty rice...
-
WTF IS POKE ? ? ? >:(
Google, my friend, Google.
I've never heard of it before until now, either. Its basically sushi salads/wraps.
I only know of those pocky sticks, I thought that's what this thread was about until I read Thespritz0's comment that its glorified sushi.

Not even close brotato chip

I don't understand this whole obsession with this overpriced sushi bullshit, every other persons instagram page has the picture with 45 pieces of sushi with some stupid millennial saying like "dem sushi feels doe!!" I'd rather spend that money on a rare filet at Ruths Chris
AYCE sushi is amazing. $25 and you stuff yourself with delicious sushi, tempura yams, sashimi, rolls, etc... I haven't gone back to a regular buffet in years after discovering AYCE sushi.

I tried it in Honolulu, and that's my take on it Homie Fries... :D

25:bucks? Where do you live where you get a man sized amount of quality sushi for that?
Toronto. I mean, with tax and tip its about $35 I guess. But if you're not hurting for cash, its bad at all. I spend more going to The Keg or O&B than at AYCE sushi, and I like sushi way more than steak (I DO love steak, just not as much as sushi). Its even cheaper if you come with a big group, they will give you a discount. My favorite is 168 sushi (in North York/Vaughan area), followed by Makimono (North York, Pickering, and a bunch of other places around the GTA).

if Muhammad Ali and Arnold had an effeminate male baby that's what it would look like lol
AND A DASH OF HIM...
-
where I am you have to spend at least 45 bucks to get a decent amount of quality sushi not that shit you get at the all you can eat Hibachi places
No No, these are quality places, not Hibachi. Where are you? That's some pricey sushi lol. At lunch, in all the places around here, they charge either $15 or $20, can't remember. But you can't order sashimi during lunch hours, you CAN order sashimi on rice, however.
-
There are a few sushi places around here that have AYCE but it's off the menu and not a standard buffet. They give you a card and you note what you want and it's made for you. The catch is you must eat it all including the rice or they charge you the al a carte price. These places are arround $25 for lunch and $35 for dinner.
As for Poke, it's not the same as sushi, the only similarity is raw fish. I do hate how it's trending now. I've been eating it for a long time and hate it that people are now all of a sudden Poke snobs.

That's exactly the AYCE sushi place I'm talking about. Not a buffet, everything is fresh made after you order. But in the Toronto area, its surprisingly cheaper than where you are, I guess.
You can still order standard sushi meals for a lower price at these places. Or get take-out or whatever. But $25, or $35 after tax/tip, for dinner, can't go wrong. Especially if you don't do it every week, which I used to with my ex for a couple months straight. That was a bit overkill, but I was coming off a show, and she loves sushi.

Hipster sushi usually served in beatnik coffee shops. Al is right though, it's pretty good.

From Food & Wine
The raw tuna salad known as poke certainly isn't a new creation, but lately we've been seeing versions of it everywhere—even stuffed into a burrito. One of our favorite new versions is on the menu at Noreetuh, a new Hawaiian restaurant in New York's East Village run by three Per Se alums, Chung Chow, Jin Ahn and Gerald San Jose. We caught up with chef de cuisine (and Hawaii native) Chow for a primer on all things poke.
First of all, what is poke? Is it a dish with a clear origin story?
The word poke simply means “chunk” in Hawaiian. That said, in the past poke was typically any meat or seafood that is cut into small chunks and marinated. When referring to poke nowadays, it is generally seafood. It’s unclear exactly what the origin is, though many agree that chunks of marinated seafood have been consumed for a long time by locals, and if you ask anyone from Hawaii such as myself, I’ve known poke all my life and just grew up eating it.
What is the proper way to pronounce poke?
Poke is pronounced (poh-KAY) and rhymes with okay.
Is there one generally agreed-upon style, or are there regional variations?
Generally speaking, poke would refer to raw pieces of tuna cut into cubes, then marinated with soy sauce and sesame oil and mixed with onion; though the variations go far beyond this generalization. Poke doesn’t necessarily have to be tuna or even seafood, nor does it have to be raw or cubed. If can be cooked or raw, cubed or scraped, and doesn’t even have to be fish or seafood. Cubed avocado is sometimes used. If you go to a local grocery store in Hawaii, poke is a staple, and there are endless varieties including poke made using octopus, poke that is dressed with a creamy mayonnaise and poke garnished with kimchi or wasabi, resulting from the strong influences of Japanese and Korean cuisines.

So it's tuna-chunks?
-
I don't get the fascination with raw fish. It really doesn't taste better than cooked. Plus there is a higher risk of parasites.

Taste is subjective. To me, salmon sashimi tastes better than cooked salmon, but tuna sashimi tastes like ass compared to cooked tuna.

Go to a sushi resturant and you will change your mind nothing is better for a bodybuilder trying to put on mass than a big plate of sushi.

Kwon actually had a job once for a few days. Remember "team hard work" where he was posing with a hammer?

The intestinal parasites some of you must have from eating this shit... Yikes.

It's basically food for fagg0ts like Al Doggity.

Nah. In america any raw fish consumed as poke, sushi etc... has to be deep frozen to kill certain types of bacteria. So there really isn't anywhere going from boat to table. All of the fish must be flash frozen. It doesn't affect the texture and the fish is not as "melt in your mouth" as it would being truly fresh.
To princess L. Those poser NY restaurants cutting up tuna in chunks and mixing all sorts of shit is not Poke. Poke needs that Hawaiin chili and seaweed. With it it's just poser shit.

In NYC, the most popular places serve on a bed of rice.

Surprised it took two whole pages for the poke purists to come out.

So, is the F & W article relatively accurate but just an inaccurate photo?

It's inaccurate in the way that regional-style barbecue isn't authentic if you're not from that part of the country. Or the only real pizza is the kind they made where you grew up. Or genuine cheesesteaks can only be made on your favorite side of town in philly.
