Eating oN our raDar Poke


f ono Poke shopttttt Blink and you’ll miss this small, fast-casual spot in Wynwood that


serves Japanese-inspired bowls in a variety of styles and flavors. Chef Amir Anvari (formerly of high-end sushi restaurant Makoto) is behind the two-part menu that features signature creations and a do-it-yourself option for diners. If you trust him—which you should—you’ll go for the ’Ono tuna, a mix of sushi-grade fish, pickled cucumber, jalapeño and wasabi aioli over rice. à 2320 N Miami Ave (786-618-5366, onopokeshop.com)


f The Poke housettttt While a bit of a trek from Miami, Fort Lauderdale’s Poke House


rewards diners for the drive with one of the most diverse poke menus in South Florida. Ready-made bowls include inventive spins on Peruvian, Hawaiian, Mexican and Korean cuisines. Expect creations topped with salsa verde, plantain chips, cashews and other unexpected ingredients. There’s a build-your-own option that gives you the chance to go wild with even more toppings. à 666 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale (754-200-4555, thepokehouse.com)


s PokeBao ttttt Bun fiends and seafood-obsessives can coexist in delicious harmony


at PokeBao. Former Nobu chef Daniel Bouza applies his training to traditional Hawaiian poke bowls here, doling out spicy tuna and sake-cured salmon varieties. On the bun front, he has braised short rib and crispy chicken vaca frita—a riff on the popular Latin beef dish. If that weren’t tempting enough, PokeBao’s menu also touts tempura fries. à 153 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables (305-967-4832, pokebaomiami.com)
