New Poke Restaurant Opens In Rockville

ROCKVILLE, MD — A new restaurant specializing in the Hawaiian raw fish dish poke recently opened in Rockville. Honeyfish Poke is located in Congressional Plaza at 1615 Rockville Pike.

Customers first pick a base — kale mix, spring mix salad, white brice or brown rice — for their custom fish bowl. Next is the protein, such as tuna, spicy tuna, albacore, salmon, octopus or tofu. Toppings like edamame, carrots, cilantro, mango and cucumbers are then added, plus a sauce such as house ponzu or creamy wasabi.

Bowls range from $10.95 to $14.95, depending on the size of the bowl and the addition of premium additions like avocado or real blue crabmeat.

This is the first Honeyfish Poke that has opened outside of California, where the business originated.

Here's what people are saying about the new spot on Yelp so far:

• "Honeyfish Poke is a winner. I love the dynamic concept, pick your protein, pick your sides, and choose your sauces. Being a good Yelper, I read some of the reviews, thinking I was prepared to order. But, when you get in the shop, you are flabbergasted by choices and in awe of the variety of fresh fish."
• " The fish is very fresh. The tuna retains that beautiful deep delicious red that good tuna should be. The salmon is... well salmon colored, with visible white lines of fat running through; possibly harvested closer the belly area. All of the fish tastes smooth and clean like sashimi grade fish should."
• "Finally it's open. I got 3 serving Poke. Fish was a good amount. Rice and greens too. I like the toppings too. The only thing was I didn't have enough sauce on it. So I'll ask for more sauce next time. It was tasty, fresh and healthy."

Check out Honeyfish Poke 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
