One Philly-based surfing enthusiast came back with more than a tan when he visited his friends in Oahu. While he enjoyed surfing Hawaii’s legendary waves, he also enjoyed his first-ever Hawaiian poké bowl. Filled with fresh ahi tuna and other healthy ingredients, he found the traditional dish downright “soul-nourishing.” So when he returned to the East Coast, he decided to open PokéOno in Ardmore, a convenient spot for anyone in apartments near Haverford, PA.
Within the sun-washed space, Main Liners can enjoy the same fresh, tropical fare that inspired this surfer-turned-restaurateur. Patrons build their own poké bowls starting with a base of white rice, brown rice, or mixed greens. Then they select a protein, perhaps the traditional tuna or salmon, shrimp, or tofu. Next, there’s the sauce, with options such as shoyu or citrus ponzu, and finally, the toppings. Cucumbers, edamame, and sweet onions; wonton crisps, wasabi peas, and masago; and sesame seeds, Hawaiian sea salt, and crushed nori are among your options. Stop by to build your perfect lunch!
