Here’s Where To Find Tampa Bay’s Absolute Best Poke Bowl

Poke bowls have taken the culinary world especially in Florida, with access to delicious fresh seafood and tropical ingredients. This vibrant dish which originated from Hawaii, incorporates raw, marinated fish served over a bed of rice, with a variety of fresh toppings. It's common to add avocado, cucumber, edamame, and and of course a sauce. These bold flavors and healthy ingredients has made poke bowls a popular choice for anyone trying to maintain a healthy diet.

In Florida, poke bowl restaurants are thriving with many popping up all over the place. However, they are not all created equal. Tampa Bay has become one of the biggest hotspots for poke bowl enthusiasts who want their own twist to this Hawaiian classic dish.

One standout in Tampa is "The Poke Company" which is a restaurant known for its diverse selection of poke bowls. With many locations our favorite is the one that they recently opened downtown. The Poke Company features everything from ahi tuna to tofu and even steak. You can easily customize your poke bowl with a variety of bases, sauces, and toppings. One of our favorites that they also offer is a traditional sushi burrito. It's your normal poke bowl wrapped into rice and seaweed wrap then cut down the middle to simply eat as a burrito. Anything you get from this restaurant will be super delicious.

What makes poke bowls in Florida so appealing is the emphasis on freshness, especially with the availability of locally sourced fish and tropical fruits. Whether you're a Florida native or a visitor, finding a poke bowl restaurant is easy, and the experience is always a flavorful journey that reflects both Hawaiian tradition and Florida’s coastal charm. For anyone craving a light, refreshing meal, Florida’s poke scene offers plenty of delicious options.
