Klaw Pokē is the new Hawaiian eatery we’re just dying to try
Out of all the cuisines we've tried, it's safe to say that many of us have never tasted a Hawaiian meal before.
But holy good GOD, does it sound delicious.
Ireland's first ever Pokē joint has opened on Dublin's Capel Street, offering ubiquitous Hawaiian dishes that are both nutritious and tasty.
The owner of this new eatery, Niall Sabongi, first created Klaw in Temple Bar, and after its huge success with dishes including crab and lobster, he decided to introduce the taste of Hawaii to Ireland.
Klaw Pokē offers all of Klaw's favourites with chowder, crab, five varieties of Irish oysters and of course, the legendary Klaw lobster roll.
However, Niall has also introduced a new range of dishes all cooked over a Yakitori charcoal grill to achieve the flavour of a beach. YUM.
For those of you who don't know, Pokē is a raw fish salad widely served across Hawaii.
Since 2012, it has caught the imagination of food enthusiasts across the US and Europe, with numerous Pokē joints opening up around the world.
And now it's Ireland's turn. At Klaw Pokē, you will be spoiled for choice with protein from €8 (yellowfin tuna) to €15 (lobster) or Irish salmon, octopus, crab or shrimp.
You can become super creative by making your own Pokē Bowl, too. First choose a base of either brown rice, quinoa, rice noodles or wild leaves.
Then the sauces come in with either house ponzu, sriracha aioli, namjim or gochujang to choose from.
Toppings add to the finish, with a wide selection of sunomono cucumber, edamame, nori, radish, macadamia nut, salty pineapple, pickled ginger, samphire, fried onion, kimchi, avocado and black roe.
Did we mention they serve Bloody Marys, too? And if the food and booze wasn't enough to entice you, it's dog-friendly, with lead hooks and water bowls in the outdoor seating area.
Klaw Pokē is open 10.30am 'til late, and we think we just found our new date night venue.
