Kona Poké — Restaurant in Sanford

I am sure that authentic poké would require scenery outside of a strip mall. Proximity to ocean, sand, and the shade of a palm tree or two would also work well as natural flavor enhancers. But this is Central Florida, where oceans of asphalt and the shade of passing thunderstorms will have to suffice. Kona Poké is good. It's easy. It's highly customizable. And it's fast. If you're worried about coronavirus exposure, you can be in and out within 5 minutes of starting your order. Not fast enough? Order online and just walk in, pick it up, and leave. The standard bowls are delicious, and my personal favorite is the Kona Fire, substituting salmon for tuna.

Ty and her coworkers are the IDEAL employee in my opinion because they worked together seamlessly, they build rapport with their customers, and deliver a...

Our Story

Raw fish - a delicacy on its own, it makes one of the strongest key ingredients in so many different regional cuisines. Each culture does it differently: Japan has sushi and sashimi, Latin America has ceviche, Italy has crudo and Scandinavia has gravlax. Hawaii has poké.

We fell in love with poké after trying if for the first time on the West Coast. Fresh, healthy and delicious, poké took all of the best components of sushi and put them in an easy to eat container. Let’s just say we couldn’t stop at eating just one bowl...
