When the temperatures are hot in the summer, I look for refreshing but comforting food – and poke bowls are among my top choices. Unlike sushi or sashimi which often adds up to a pretty penny with the number of rolls before I’m full, poke bowls are more filling. One of my favorites in Portland is SeaSweets Poke – I love that they are a bit more nontraditional in their poke combinations and their toppings. Here’s my closer look at SeaSweets Poke’s menu.
First, if you haven’t had a poke bowl before, you are basically going to be choosing a set combination that is already available, or more popular is building your own bowl (think a bit like Chipotle or similar taco or burrito line where you pick all your individual fixings). For the base, you are using a bowl of rice (white or brown rice, or you can use kale salad) and then choosing the 1 scoop or 2 scoops of the poke protein option. If you go when it’s not too busy, you will usually be able to ask for a toothpick taste to help decide from the 6 options available.
