Tropicali Hawaiian Poke
Tropicali
A tiki-style poke shop rated five stars by Time Out, now relocated to a larger lakeside location on Big Bear Boulevard.
Founded by former pro surfer Sanoe Lake and others, this tiki-style shop specializes in Hawaiian and Caribbean-inspired poke bowls. Time Out Los Angeles gave it five stars, and The Infatuation also recommends it. Signature items include the Kraken bowl, drizzled with eel sauce and topped with panko and crispy wonton chips; the Pele bowl with spicy wild tuna; and the Tiki Torta, a Belgian waffle topped with grilled chicken. These are served with a Tropsicle smoothie. Prices run about $15–25 per person, and lines are common. The shop has moved to a larger new location on Big Bear Boulevard with indoor seating and lakeside balcony tables.
