Overview
Having smashed it on Uber-EATS in late 2016, Mahalo Poké has set up permanent digs in Richmond. Stroll on down to 77 Swan Street at brekkie, lunch or dinner for a cornucopia of Hawaiian-Japanese flavours.
The hospitality legends behind the operation are the folks from Botherambo, who serve up cracking Thai dishes just next door. "The demand on UberEATS surpassed all our expectations which spurred on the demand for a permanent venue," said owner Nathan Peck. "With this new venue we can now offer a larger menu, which can still be ordered via UberEATS, or enjoyed in our fresh and breezy interior which is fresh and fun."
For brekkie, you'll be hooking into Hula Waffle, which comes loaded with pure maple, bacon, house ice-cream and macadamia crumble, or Aloha Smashed Avocado, featuring togarashi and jalapeno tomato salsa on sourdough.
Meanwhile, the dinner menu offers Spicy Salmon with pickled ginger, corn, edamame, ka'ukama, carrot, purple cabbage, volcano ponzu and soy tahini sauce, as well as The Big Kahuna Burger. That's buttermilk fried chicken, pineapple, bacon, apple cabbage and wasabi slaw on a Hawaiian sweet bun, among many, many other in-your-face combinations.
Match your choice with a beer, wine, kombucha, cold brew coffee courtesy of Niccolo or the amazing Coco Dragon — a marvellous concoction of dragonfruit, mango chai, coconut, cashew, honey and coconut milk.
Find Mahalo Poké at 77 Swan St, Richmond. Opening hours are 7:30am-10pm Monday-Friday and 8am-10pm Saturday and Sunday.
