Pokeworks Opening New Rochester Hills Restaurant Saturday

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Pokeworks, a fast-casual Hawaiian cuisine, is opening a new restaurant Saturday at the Village of Rochester Hills.

Pokeworks is best-known for their modern Hawaiian dish that is primarily made from freshly diced seafood marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other sauces.

The concept of the restaurant allows customers to "poke" their orders to match their specific dietary preferences, such as vegan, gluten-free and other mindful diets.

Some options include fresh sashimi grade Ahi Tuna, hand-cut Salmon, all-natural Chicken and organic Tofu. Sauce options range sweet and spicy to savory. House made vegetables will also be prepared daily.

The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. It joins many other restaurants at the Village, including Two Hands Corn Dogs, which opened earlier this month.

There are over 70 Pokeworks locations across the U.S., Taiwan and Canada.The Rochester Hills location is the second Michigan restaurant, the other is in Troy.

Pokeworks earned consecutive spots on Fast Casual's "Top 100 Movers and Shakers" list, and was recognized in Entrepreneur's 2023 "Best of the Best Franchises."
