“Come one, come all to our free bowl event…,” said Kristi. “It’s our way of saying ‘mahalo nui’ (thank you very much) to our enthusiastic and encouraging West Knox/Farragut Ohana. Guests will be able to create their own custom bowl, enjoy face painting and entertainment and see all the thoughtful details that went into the designs in our location highlighting our beautiful East Tennessee Ohana – all tying back into the islands of Hawaii. We can’t wait to welcome you all!”

Every Island Fin Poké Co. establishment embodies the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence and its genuine passion for poké. Renowned for its Hawaiian-style poké bowls, Island Fin Poké Co. offers more than just a meal; it offers a lifestyle built on the values of family and community.

Mark Setterington, CEO and founder of Island Fin Poké Co., shared his excitement about opening the third location in the state of Tennessee, saying, "We all know that Tennessee is a dining hot-spot for every resident and tourist. We’re just happy that the community is embracing our poké combinations and flavors of the islands. Opening in Farragut is also the perfect addition for our brand because the residents are known to be actively engaged in a lot of community events and volunteer activities – which is very important to Island Fin."

From curated music to only using the freshest ingredients, every Island Fin Poké Co. location offers a six sensory experience. This means each time a guest experiences a poké bowl at Island Fin, they are experiencing the IncrediBOWL, which is personally crafted to the guest’s liking.
