Fast food chain, Honi Poke is set to open four new outlets across London - in Victoria, Southbank, St Pauls and Bishopsgate - within the next five months, that will join the existing ten-site portfolio.
The news comes just after the brand's first venue beyond London opened in Manchester offering delivery only, as well as new sites in Fulham and Westfield Stratford.
Inspired by Hawaiian flavours and with wellbeing at its core, Honi Poke is renowned for its use of incredibly fresh ingredients and responsibly caught seafood with each poke bowl made to order, fresh on site, differentiating it from alternative poke brands.
Championing the restorative power of nutritious and fresh food across each location, inspiration from Hawaii can be found in every aspect of the brand; from the ingredients used in each poke bowl and the interior design to even the name of the brand with the eponymous ‘honi’ meaning ‘kiss,’ reflecting the traditional Hawaiian greeting in which two people press noses.
With the opening in Manchester this month, the brand is now one of the first London-based poke brands to expand nationwide, with it being their aim to have a site in every major UK city by 2023.
This expansion plan is coupled with the launch of their premium, delivery-only sushi brand Honi Sushi, which now has 5 locations across London.
Honi Poke was founded by Vladimir Martynov and Kosta Varesko in 2017, with the help of Richard de la Cruz, development chef for COYA London and head chef at Arros QD.
