poke bar

Build-your-own sushi

A poke bar is a restaurant serving poke—the Hawaiian dish of cubed raw fish with rice and toppings.

The format typically lets customers build their own bowls, choosing a base, protein, and various additions: There's a new poke bar downtown.

The concept spread rapidly in American cities during the 2010s.
