text: Ironically enough if you are willing to venture off the Strip in Vegas sometimes you will hit a jackpot Poke Express is one of those type of gems uniquely delivering the Hawaiian islands flavor in the desert that is Las Vegas nnWe went at around am on Sunday and they had initially already sold out of malasadas Fortunately they were able to make another batch win minutes and when fresh these were amazing Whether custard filled or just plain the coating of sugar and the nice crisp flaky dough was tremendous I recently had a batch frozen and delivered from Hawaii and these malasadas were comparable in quality nnThen there is the star of the show the poke Really good poke to be exact I cannot attest to how it compares to poke in Hawaii but from all thirdhand accounts it matches up Not quite there in terms of freshness but a close alternative nnMy favorite was the shoyu poke because the sauce is a great balance of sweetness that marinades the salmon or tuna to perfection The spicy avocado poke was more spicy than I expected but having never tried avocado and poke mixed together I thought it was pretty fantastic nnId steer clear from the seaweed soaked poke as the salinity of the seaweed was too overpowering nnThey serve their poke by the and lb sizes and we started by trying four different lb containers Just a note that is not nearly enough and we had to double up on what we ordered between two people nnOverall its affordable and delicious comfort food served with welcoming hospitality It is like your own slice of Hawaii only a couple thousand miles awaynnTip Get here early especially on the weekends because at noon this place is jam packed with large parties
