Enjoy your favorite Hawaiian dish this summer with the best poké bowls in Birmingham. If you’ve never had poké before, trust us-it’s time to hop on the bandwagon. It’s basically sushi in a bowl with all of your favorite toppings to bat, so it doesn’t get much better.

1. Ono Poké

The go-to poké bowl place in Birmingham has got to be Ono Poké, with the entire restaurant solely dedicated to these delicious rice bowls. They offer build your own bowls with all the toppings your poké loving heart could desire.

I recommend going with their Ahi Tuna rice bowl, and no matter the toppings make sure to get the Yum Yum sauce on top.

At IKKO, they give you the most poké variety we’ve seen so far, with menu items like classic Hawaiian, build your own bowl, shrimp tempura, crab and even eel. While you’re there, you should probably save room for the ramen bowls too-you won’t regret it.
