About this item

The Hawaiian people have a laid-back love of life, and Island Pok is a London restaurant committed to sharing this ethos and the authentic flavors from these shores in over 65 recipes. Pok (pronounced Po-Keh) means to 'slice' or 'dice' in Hawaiian but it has evolved to become the Hawaiian staple of sliced raw fish served on rice with many condiments and toppings. James, the author and founder of Island Pok, became hooked on this delicacy as a child on the beach in Maui. Fast-forward a couple of decades, James sensed a gap in the market for an authentic and sustainable approach to Hawaiian cuisine. Thus, Island Pok was born fusing the joy of real Hawaiian food, which is a delicious fusion of many cuisines including Polynesian, Japanese, Chinese, South American, Pacific Rim and even Portuguese influences.
