If you have never tried a Poké Bowl or don’t even know what it is, let us explain. Some may call it “sushi in a bowl”, since it consists of sushi rice, raw fish and all sorts of toppings of your liking. Funny thing is: it’s actually not from Japan but originally a Hawaiian dish.

Deliveroo Number 1: Temakery

The most ordered Poké Bowls in Amsterdam are the ones from Temakery. This hotspot is located near the famous Albert Cuyp Market and makes for a perfect spot for a healthy lunch or dinner after a day of shopping. Their menu is a mix of different Japanese dishes. Of course, you should try one of their bowls but the Sushi Wraps and Japanese Chicken Wings are also worth to mention! For the bowls you can choose one of the menu, like the popular Hawaiian Classic with Ahi Tuna or create your own with their extensive list of fresh toppings.

Poké Perfect is slowly taking over the city with their perfect bowls of goodness. With four restaurants in Amsterdam you’ll always have one near you for lunch or dinner. They have a selection of signature bowls as well as create your own options. Our favorite: The Witzel with Salmon, avocado, cucumber, spring onion and orange masago topped off with sesame seeds and their signature Poké Ponzu sauce. Next to that, the locations on the Nieuwendijk & Zuidas serve delicious breakfast. Think yoghurt or acai bowls topped with fresh fruits, granola and all sorts of nuts.

sushito amsterdam

Bowls & Rolls at Sushito

Sushito is one of the favorites in Amsterdam for both Poké Bowls and Sushi Burittos. The story: Eduardo wasn’t able to roll his famous burritos because he couldn’t find Mexican tortillas. Akihiro offered to make sushi for them but Ailani wanted to make a poke bowl instead and Eduardo complained that he didn’t want to eat with chopsticks. They decided to combine all their ideas and then in that moment, SUSHITO was born. Yeh, their classics are good but we recommend you to create your own bowl or roll here. Their list of toppings is amazing! From different types of protein and vegetables to all sorts of sauces and crunchy additions like Nori Tempura Crisp and fried onions.
