Poke fun at Hawaiian lunch delight

Bright, zingy poke bowl was fresh and exhilarating

- BY YEP REVIEWER

Leeds may be a far cry from Hawaii - but after a wander down one of its busier streets, you might just stumble upon Honi Poke, a fast food joint that has clearly crash-landed here from much sunnier climes.

This little oasis of raw fish is tucked away at the side of Trinity Leeds, offering the bright and zingy lunch you didn't know you needed.

On a recent visit, I ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl-yellowfin tuna, sesame soy sauce, spring onions, edamame, chilli, pickled cucumber, sesame seeds, and crispy onions - and it was huge. I mean Everest-sized.

The tuna itself was the kind of vivid red that makes you stop and admire its beauty. Fresh, silky, and generous in quantity, it was delicately bathed in a nutty-salty sesame soy dressing that was neither too timid nor too overpowering.
