This Main Line poke slinger was started by a longtime surfer who wanted to bring the dish over from Hawaii. It doesn’t go as wild with the toppings, but there are a few interesting kicks available, from wasabi peas to citrus ponzu dressing.

As the name suggests, Engimono Poke & Deli near the Art Museum sells an odd mix of Hawaiian fish bowls and deli sandwiches. But don’t be deterred: Owner Albert Zheng has a solid sushi background.

Kiki Aranita and Chris Vacca turned their Hawaiian food truck into a fast-casual Hawaiian restaurant, keeping the truck favorites and adding a handful of other options. For vegans, there’s a poke bowl with small-batch tofu, alaea salt, Hawaiian ogo, sesame, and green onion.

From two Center City locations and one in the King of Prussia mall, Hai Street offers poke in bowls, salads, and burritos. Along with the traditional fish, chicken and crab are options.

This new addition to the poke scene serves the Rittenhouse crowd from a small shop on 17th Street. The menu here ranges from traditional options to a nacho bowl with ahi tuna, onion, cucumber, avocado, mango, cabbage, and masago on a bed of tortilla chips.

With a beefed-up (although not entirely Hawaiian) selection of what most poke stores label “proteins” (i.e. meat and meat substitutes), Oishii’s options include eel, chicken, crab, and boiled shrimp, beyond the classic ahi tuna. They also do “poke burritos,” although they’re closer in form to a very large sushi roll.

While most poke places on this list embrace the build-your-own structure, Red Poke Express offers that as an option but also has 11 set bowls, like the Fire with salmon, shrimp, mango, kani salad, tempura crisps, and spicy mayo. Tofu and vegetable bowls are available too, along with burritos with sushi-style fillings.

While poke is far from the focus here, this Fishtown hotspot does keep a seasonal poke bowl on the menu, currently with salmon, peaches, cucumber, and avocado.
