Feeling hungry at lunch and looking for a healthy and locally sourced poke bowl? Lokahi at the Whitsunday Shopping Centre has you covered!
Inspired to explore healthy alternatives beyond traditional salads and vegetables, owner Erina Miyake discovered the vibrant world of poke bowls.
Originally from Hawaii, poke bowls blend Asian and Western flavours, offering a delicious and nutritious alternative. Erina is excited to share this culinary gem with the Whitsunday community, hoping locals will embrace the unique flavours and healthy benefits just as she has.
Erina’s ingredients are all from local suppliers where possible, but if not available locally she sources them from larger cities such as Brisbane.
“Our poke bowls are not pre-made.”
“Customers can customise them according to their preferences and dietary needs, from the base to mix-ins and protein, people can create their own DIY poke bowls,” Erina explained.
Erina highlights that every signature bowl is a “must-try,” crafted with the perfect blend of base, mix-ins, protein, and dressings. She particularly emphasises that the combination of rice, mix-ins, sashimi, and homemade sauce called “classic sauce” is “particularly exceptional.”
To address the issues of vegetable deficiency and lack of nutritional balance within the region, Lokahi focuses on using a variety of vegetables while carefully seasoning them with proteins such as tofu, fish, and meat to ensure they are delicious.
Lokahi has also introduced online ordering to help busy office workers, tradies, and others with limited time access healthy meals, making every effort to provide them as quickly as possible.
Erina claims their best seller is the "Build Your Own Poke Bowl." This is a DIY poke bowl that allows customers to create their own unique combinations, with their top three sellers being Grilled Teriyaki Salmon, Karaage Chicken, and Teriyaki Chicken.
Additionally, an exciting new addition has made its way on to the Lokahi menu. "CUP-BAP" (Cup-Rice), starting at just $9.90 is the perfect option for those looking for a smaller portion or fewer vegetables while still enjoying the same tasty meat at a lower price.
Lokahi is open for brunch, lunch, and dinner from 10am to 3pm and 5pm to 8pm, Monday to Saturday, head on down and poke your head in!
