The takeout poke competition in San Diego is tough, but Poke Chop should be among the contenders.
The big picture: The Hawaiian-style restaurant serves fresh ingredients and a simple menu at its four locations.
💠Claire's thought bubble: I was ready for some delicious takeout after running a half marathon the other weekend, and for some reason, poke sounded perfect to me.
Dig in: I built my own bowl and customized it just the way I liked it. I ordered a large, which meant five types of fish, and devoured the entire thing.
- Half-marathon, remember.
Poke Chop also has sides such as seaweed salad, gyoza and egg rolls, which were a hit with my son.
- You can also get specialty bowls packed with spices and sauces.
- Or Spam & Eggs if you want a true Hawaiian delicacy.
If you go: Pacific Beach, Hillcrest and Mission Gorge are open 11:30am-8pm daily and Encinitas is open until 9pm daily.
- There's some space to dine in, or you can order to go.
