How the tuna poke, mini tofu salad and witch soup tasted

Mini tofu salad ordered as a side

Besides the main poke, I added a mini tofu salad for extra nutritional balance. The clean, nutty tofu combined with fresh vegetables made it a perfect light side to cleanse the palate! This tofu is genuinely delicious,, I really recommend trying it haha

A bowl of original tuna sashimi poke

The original tuna sashimi poke, one of Ola Poke's signature dishes! It came piled high with fresh, thick slices of tuna sashimi, with popping flying fish roe and various fresh vegetables in nice harmony. The umami was really outstanding. I chose the half oat brown rice, half salad base, so it was filling too!

Tomato-based witch soup served alongside the poke

And the witch soup — a must-add side these days when the temperature swings are big or you just want to warm your stomach! Made with a tomato base and various vegetables simmered thoroughly, it was both refreshing and deeply savory. The combination of fresh poke with warm soup worked together better than I expected.
