Sweetcatch Poke At Sweetcatch Poke, we’ve made it our mission since we opened in 2016 to create the best-tasting poke from what nature has to offer—without compromise. Our secret? No shortcuts. Just straight-up, 100% real, fresh ingredients. We serve innovative, chef-crafted poke made fresh daily at our fast-casual restaurants with five Manhattan locations. We’re not like the average poke place — our poke is served up Hawaiian-style. We marinate our sustainable, sushi-grade fish, roasted chicken and organic tofu with housemade sauces, which makes for seriously flavor-packed poke. |
