## Story

Island Fin Poké Co. is known for elevating traditional Hawaiian food, known as poké, into customizable poké bowls and having an incredibly charismatic atmosphere. Island Fin Poké Co. gives guests a five plus one sensory experience, with its Ohana vibe being the sixth sense. All of these amazing interactions combined make the brand so welcoming and inviting, much like the Hawaiian lifestyle.

Guests can choose from responsibly sourced ingredients and can customize and curate their own pokébowl, with options including over eight proteins, 25 different toppings, gluten-free house-made sauces that have been creatively crafted, and specialty mix-ins.

These accolades are not easily earned, because Las Vegas is considered the ninth island of Hawaii and is home to one of the largest populations of Native Hawaiians outside of Hawaii. So, earning silver awards for Best of Las Vegas Hawaiian Food and Power Lunch substantiates its claim as the country’s most authentic, flavorful and approachable poké.

“We would like to send a huge Mahalo [thank you in Hawaiian] to all our Ohana that we have met and have supported us for the past two years,” says Angela Drye, North Las Vegas franchise owner. “It is a great honor to have won the Silver Best of Las Vegas Best Hawaiian food two years in a row along with winning the Power Lunch award this year.”

One of the key brand components of Island Fin is to have a curated and clean environment that caters to every guest. All of this is demonstrated through their team members serving food and cleaning up after each guest, therefore there is no need for trash cans in the dining area. Each experience is personalized during every visit, from the moment guests walk through the doors until the moment they leave because that's the Ohana Way, or the family way.

“It’s the Hawaiian culture and people that inspired our brand and the way we want people to feel when they walk into Island Fin Poké Co., each and every time,” says Mark Setterington, CEO and founder of Island Fin Poké Co.
