With ahi tuna and only a couple of other ingredients, “Hawaii style” tries to replicate the ur-poke, while “the Chelsea” brings it into a contemporary idiom with tofu and avocado. Up a steep staircase, this tiny spot way downtown treats poke as a Japanese invention, by paying plenty of attention to the rice. The five signature bowls often incorporate Japanese ingredients, too, like white miso, tobiko, kizami nori, ogo seaweed, and hijiki. One selection features salted mango cream — a fruity anchovy sauce that’s a real complement to the yellowtail and scallops the bowl contains.
DINNER EXPERIENCE IN THE THEATER DISTRICT
The salmon is laved in Filipino calamansi vinaigrette, adding another Hawaiian element. Poised on a Long Island City side street to pitch to the high-rise apartment buildings along the waterfront, Pokelicious offers plenty of seating, for a change. Many of the bowls are city themed (New York, London, Tokyo, Seoul), and they come stylishly decorated with a purple orchid (which is edible and tastes like endive). Featuring shrimp and octopus, the Mexico City has poke bowl jalapenos and pico de gallo, but manages to not taste very Mexican.
