STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Hawaii Poké Bowl opened this week at New Dorp’s food-chocked new development, The Boulevard.
In this episode of The Dish, owners Nicole Li and Jie Lin thank the East Shore for the warm reception of their second location. They also demo how one of their “bowl” are assembled into wholesome meals to suit most diet regimens.
Hawaii Poké Bowls was established in Bulls Head in 2017 at 1430 Richmond Ave. This will be Nicole’s third food endeavor: her first business was established in New Dorp about a decade ago as Something Sweet, an ice cream shop at 314 New Dorp Lane.
And just how does one say “poké”?
That would not be “poke” as in “I poke your face” or “pokie” like “do the hokie pokie.” So let’s turn ourselves around to say “poke-AY” to reflect the Hawaiian and Pacific menu merge.
At Hawaii Poké, signature bowls sport a variety of veggies, greens, toppings, sauces and proteins — raw Ahi tuna, tofu, Albacore tuna, salmon, spicy salmon and cooked chicken, tofu, shrimp or unagi. Prices range from $10.95 to $13.95, depending on the choice of protein. Beverages include milk tea, fruit tea, soft drinks, smoothies and fruit “spritz” in several flavors — lychee, mango, grapefruit, strawberry, etc.
Hawaii Poké Bowl is among a dozen eating options at The Boulevard. Panera Bread was the last restaurant to open in the complex in February and, prior to that late last year, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt and Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The borough’s newest ShopRite features a spot to sit and sup on options like sushi, Chinese food, pizza, baked goods, sandwiches and more.
In the non-nosh department, The Boulevard will also see a Quest Diagnostics and Sese Spa.
Hawaii Poké Bowl is located at 2656 Hylan Blvd., New Dorp; 718-709-0958; Hawaiipokebowl.com. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.
The Dish is a live broadcast at 11:30 a.m. each Wednesday from the Advance/SILIVE.com Facebook platform. Catch it in reruns later in the week here or tune into the conversation each week with a Staten Island food community that stretches across the globe for a sold 12 to 15 minutes of borough-centric restaurant talk.
