Poke Burri is a Georgia-based restaurant company that provides a healthy and delicious dining experience focused around the popular dish known as poke. Poke is traditionally a Hawaiian raw fish salad. Poke Burri starts with this premise and allows customers to order from a menu of specialty poke dishes or create their own dish for a food service experience that is unlike most concepts in the market.
The restaurant represents the lifestyle, culture, and spirit of the founder, Seven Chang. After years of successful restaurant experience and business ventures, Chang changed Sushi Burri to Poke Burri with a focus on implementing a franchise program immediately. Poke Burri is designed to provide great food to customers in a fun, casual environment. There is great flavor, aroma, and a truly unique experience for each customer in every menu item.
