Fish enthusiasts gather: here you eat the tastiest poke bowls
I can kiss the Hawaiian population. I don't know who invented the poke bowl there, but it's a genius. And no, thank god we no longer have to travel to Hawaii for this delicious bowl of rice, raw fish, and vegetables. Even in the Netherlands, the poke is becoming a real lifestyle, and this is where you eat it the best, if it were up to us.
Sushito, Amsterdam
The editorial favorite. Not only are the poke bowls top-notch, but the sushito burritos are to die for. Not in the mood for white rice? Then you can also order your bowl with quinoa or salad. Winning. Tip: the El Spicy Tuna. Make sure to get the small one though, because the large is a stomachache portion.
Locations: Eerste van der Helststraat 74 & Jan Pieter Heijestraat 127
The Streetfood Club, Utrecht
My happy place in my hometown. Not only for the tastiest fluffy bao buns with rendang, the mini tacos, the sweet potato fries, and the tuna tataki, but especially: the poke bowl with ponzu sauce. Unbelievably delicious as lunch.

The Poké Bar, The Hague
You might already know them from food hall MingleMush in The Hague (next to the station), but since the beginning of this year, The Poké Bar can be found in the city center. Create your own bowl here with tuna, salmon, tofu chicken, or (fried) shrimp, and mix it with all kinds of toppings: from crispy corn, avocado, and mango to coconut and wasabi. With delicious sauces on top, of course.
Address: Grote Halstraat 20
Poké Bowl, Rotterdam
We should all be incredibly grateful for this spot, because this is the first bar that introduced the Hawaiian dish to the Netherlands (and Belgium). And since then: it’s been flying off the shelves. Thank you, friends.

Say, colleagues, shall we go poke-ing during lunch later? I’m in.
