Find the best value-for-money poke bowls at Poke Shack!
After months of waiting, Poke Shack at Tera Tower along C5 is finally open!
For those who don't know what a poke bowl is, it's a traditional Hawaiian dish with bite-sized raw fish - usually tuna and salmon - marinated in soy sauce or sesame oil on top of vegetables or rice. But at Poke Shack, it's not just about the sashimi. Though their bestsellers are their tuna and salmon bowls, diners can also find pork, beef, and chicken on the menu. They want to make sure that they are able to cater to everyone, including those who aren't so familiar with eating raw fish or poke yet.

I like how they are not just limited to the raw stuff. Aside from the numerous protein options, you can also pick the base of your bowls - go for rice, salad, or noodles. Personally, I prefer mine with half noodles and half rice. I like the added taste the noodles bring to the bowls, plus I used to eat spaghetti with rice, so yeah. Haha :))
Make-Your-Own bowls are available, but do note that it tends to be more expensive. I personally recommend the items already on their menu especially the Jeju Chicken, Salmon Sriracha, Salad Chips, and CroCutes.
Regular-sized bowls start at P190, but they also have mini or pokito bowls which are perfect for snacking.
What we ordered:
Salad Chips (P50)
crunchy tempura-battered iceberg and lollo rossa
CroCutes (P100)
crab sticks with cheese in succulent potato fingers
California Tuna (P130 / P210)
tuna, kani, pepper, salt, lemon, onion, cashew nuts, Sriracha, celery, crispy showa mix, ebiko, black sesame seeds, mango with aioli
Jeju Chicken (P110 / P190)
chicken, black and white sesame seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, pickled onion, and leeks with Bonchon sauce
Santorini Shawarma (P150 / P230)

Salmon Sriracha (P170 / P250)
salmon, celery, onion, crispy showa mix, ebiko, furikake, sesame seed, and Sriracha mayo
Meatfest Sisig (P110 / P190)
something off of the secret menu - pork and chicken sisig!
P.S. They also have pretty great desserts! Try the Shack-a-Delic Cotta or Hey, Puddin' when you visit! :)
Healthy and affordable - Poke Shack is definitely worth driving for!
