Orgreen Poke Open In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ - Poke Bowls, the Hawaiian sensation that took the mainland by storm, has made its way to Westfield as Orgreen Poke has opened its doors for business.

Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of marinated fish which is then tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and sauces.

Orgreen, located at 132 East Broad Street, began serving on Saturday and the restaurant’s manager, Kidd Fang, told Patch the opening went well.

"It was really good," he said.

The menu includes several preassembled bowl options , like the Dragon Bowl, Volcano Bowl and Rainbow Bowl, but patrons can also customize their orders by choosing from the following ingredients:

Rice: Most bowls start with a base layer of jasmine rice. Orgreen also has brown rice and bamboo rice, which has a green tint.

Protein: Sushi-grade fish is the star ingredient, most commonly raw yellowfin (ahi) tuna. But you can choose between several fish, including salmon and snapper. But Orgreen also has salmon, eel, shrimp, crab meat and tofu.

Mix Ins: The cubes of fish are mixed with a choice of edamame, cucumber, quinoa, mango, spring mix, oshinko, sweet onion and pineapple.

Sauce: Spicy mayo, sesame vinegar and ginger wasabi sauce are a few of the options available.

Topping: To finish off the bow toppings can include a seaweed strip, green onion, crispy onion, masago, seaweed salad and furikake.

Fang said the focus of the menu is quality.

"We are healthy organic food for our customers," he said.

The business features an online ordering system. But patrons can also stop by and eat and also order from Doordash or GrubHub.
