Man, I love a poke bowl! It's just the most perfect, light dinner or lunch option for literally any time of year.

I have been fortunate enough to live close to an Ohana for the last few years of my life. We had one down the street when we lived in Portsmouth, and then we moved to Hampton, and the Exeter location was conveniently 10 minutes away!

If you aren't familiar with Ohana, it is owned by Stacy and Jay Krecklow, who lived in Maui for many years.

Ohana means “family” in Hawaiian, and every time Stacy and Jay go back to visit Hawaii, they very much “feel the aloha”. As soon as they land, they rush to the nearest restaurant to grab a bite of their favorite food—poke. Their love for Hawaii and obsession with poke inspired them to bring this delicious dish back to their mainland ohana, the Seacoast, and we are so glad they did!

A few months ago they announced that in addition to their Exeter and Portsmouth locations, they were opening a Kittery location Shapleigh Road after t o a s t closed.

And today, they announced they are opening ANOTHER location, this time in Dover, New Hampshire, right next to the Strand Theater:

They are expected to open in Spring of 2025! What a thrill! The news has spread like wildfire on Facebook foodie groups like New Hampshire Eats and Seacoast Eats, and people are stoked! Are you a poke lover? Have you dined at any of the Ohana locations?
