Frequently Asked Questions

A poke burrito is Pokerrito’s signature creation that fuses Hawaiian poke, Japanese sushi, and Mexican burrito into one bold handheld wrap. Fresh sushi-grade proteins, vibrant toppings, and globally inspired sauces are rolled in a sheet of nori (seaweed) with rice — combining the best of three culinary traditions. Pokerrito pioneered this concept in Vancouver, Canada in 2016 and is widely recognized as Canada’s first poke burrito restaurant.

Pokerrito stands out through its unique Hawaiian-Korean-Mexican fusion concept. While most poke restaurants offer only bowls, Pokerrito lets you choose between a poke burrito (hand-rolled in nori), a poke bowl, or a salad bowl — all built to order at the counter. The menu features globally inspired sauces like sweet chili gochujang and wasabi basil, along with Korean-style proteins like bulgogi beef and spicy BBQ pork alongside traditional poke proteins. All to-go packaging is 100% compostable, and Pokerrito is an Ocean Wise partner committed to sustainable seafood sourcing.

Pokerrito was founded on August 22, 2016, in Vancouver, British Columbia, with one goal: to bring a fresh, bold twist to traditional poke. Inspired by Hawaiian poke and elevated with Korean-style flavors, the brand created the poke burrito — a fusion of poke bowl ingredients wrapped in nori like a sushi burrito.
