Introduction
Koibito Poke is a national chain of poke restaurants that offers an authentic Hawaiian eating experience. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, poke is a traditional dish made with raw fish, vegetables and spices. It’s meant to be eaten as an appetizer or side dish, but it can also be used as an entrée. The first four Koibito Poke locations were opened in Scottsdale, Arizona by Todd Stottlemyre, a former MLB 3x World Series Superstar and his team—and now they’ve brought their concept to cities across the country! Check out our brief guide to learn how you could become part of this growing business venture linked here.
What is Koibito Poke?
Koibito Poke is a Hawaiian-inspired poke restaurant. The traditional dish is made from raw fish, rice and seaweed. Koibito Poke’s menu includes a variety of poke bowls which can be rice or mixed green as a base, topped with proteins ranging from Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail or much more with an array of toppings such as seaweed salad, pineapple or avocado.
Influenced by traditional Hawaiian and Japanese flavors and ingredients, KOIBITO POKE (KOIBITO meaning “love” in Japanese) encourages its guests to love their bodies — and show their bodies some love — by providing them with fresh, clean whole foods that are good for them and taste good too.
How did Koibito Poke come about?
Koibito Poke was born out of a desire to create something new and exciting. The founders had a vision for a healthy fresh restaurant that would be different from other poke restaurants, and they wanted to share that with the world.
At KOIBITO POKE each guest is treated to an individualized “build-a-bowl” experience. With so many fresh ingredients to choose from, each bowl can be vastly different from the next. The large selection of bases, proteins, toppings, housemade sauces and more — all of which are the freshest and highest quality possible — gives diners the opportunity to craft their bowl towards a specific health goal.
Whether trying to eat more greens or seafood, eliminate red meat, go low-carb, or try a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, guests can accomplish these goals easily (and deliciously) at KOIBITO POKĒ.

“We chose this location for our Koibito Poke restaurant because of its central location within the community and its accessibility to a diverse range of customers. The area has a growing food culture, and our restaurant aims to cater to health-conscious individuals and provide them with a fresh and delicious option for a quick and nutritious meal.
Moreover, this location is surrounded by a large number of residential and office buildings, making it an ideal spot for people who are looking for a convenient and tasty lunch option.
