California's Pokeatery opens 2nd unit

March 9, 2017

Pokeatery has opened its second location in Castro Valley, California, according to a company press release.

Inspired by their love of Hawaiian culture and cuisine, Derek and Joann Chung decided to bring poke to the mainland by opening the original restaurant in San Mateo, California in 2015. The Chungs are now looking for a location to open a third unit, according to the release.

"We are very excited to open our second location," said Joann Chung. "We feel our unique menu and great unit economics position Pokeatery to be a leader in the super hot poké category."

Pokeatery has taken the Hawaiian flavors of poke and updated them with a modern California twist, offering several varieties made with sashimi-grade ahi, albacore, salmon and more, according to the release.
