Chef Ray grew up watching his parents cook, absorbing the craft via observation. In adulthood, he decided to pursue his passion professionally by enrolling in California Culinary Academy. For awhile, he trained in a Marriott in Hawaii, where he fell in love with poke bowls. Eventually landing in San Francisco, CA, he decided to give California a taste of this island tradition. With that, Da Poke Man was born. Now, lucky residents of the Golden Gate City can sample the fare Ray serves out of this truck. Ray makes every single bowl to order, following traditional techniques to cook and serve his poke bowls. Each bowl comes with a base of your choice of rice, mixed greens, or tortilla chips. Once you pick your base, it’s time to pile on the toppings. You’ll find ocean fresh seafoods like tuna and shrimp seasoned up with full-bodied sauces and loads of bold spices to create that unique, robust flavor that first made Ray fall for this particular cuisine. If you stop on by, you’re sure to fall in love too, so make Da Poke Man your next pit-stop when your stomach starts rumbling. Or, better idea? Book ‘em for your next event. Guest will love chowing down on these tropical sensations. MUST TRY Spicy Ahi Poke — Your choice of base topped off with fresh ahi tuna seasoned with a blend of Hawaiian spices plus seafood flown in from Hawaii itself. It’s all slathered in spicy mayo for some mouth-singeing goodness.
