10. Pololi

Pololi was the first poke shack to open up in Hong Kong, and we just can’t get enough of their fresh flavours and laid-back vibe. Simply pick your base (rice, salad or half and half), and then choose from their mouth-watering selection of poke. Spicy mayo ahi tuna is always a good option, but they also have salmon versions if you aren’t a tuna fan, and there’s even a tofu option for vegetarians – what’s not to love?
