Get ready to say ‘aloha’ to a brand new restaurant serving up a flavorful fusion of Hawaiian and Asian cuisine. Poke Green, the newest eatery in town, is set to open its doors soon, offering delectable poke bowls and tacos, as well as delicious boba teas and teriyaki dishes. And for those who prefer a plant-based diet, fear not – Poke Green’s got you covered with a range of vegetarian options.

This is located at the former 815 Cajun restaurant space at 3053 N. Perryville Road in Rockford. 815 Cajun previously occupied the space before closing last year. Based on this, it will be interesting to see if this Poke restaurant will go the distance.

For those wondering, Poke bowls are a delicious and healthy dish that originated in Hawaii. The concept is simple – raw fish (usually tuna or salmon) is diced into small cubes and mixed with rice, veggies, and various sauces and seasonings. The result is a flavorful, refreshing meal that’s perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The beauty of poke bowls is that you can customize them to your liking, adding in toppings like seaweed, avocado, and even edamame. Unsurprisingly, the Poke bowl has become increasingly popular in cities across the U.S. and it certainly beats McDonalds in terms of healthy eating.

Although the opening date is still to be decided pending final city inspections, this place is sure to be a hit, with its cozy seating and tasty takeout options.
