I was going to start bombarding this website with Korean Natural Farming formulas and recipes but I had to slip in a good word for my new favorite poke place in town first.
Jucci Lucci is located just around the corner from Kapahulu Avenue where it becomes Campbell Avenue – sort of across from Kapahulu Zippy’s and right next to my favorite hair stylist, Mai’s Beauty. I first tried them after a haircut from Mai and went back the next day because it was SO good! Unfortunately they are only open during lunch hours and closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
I had their 2 choice bento of salmon poke and spicy garlic ahi poke which came on a bed of black sesame rice, a nice side of salad with their Turmeric Ranch dressing and kim chee. Usually I can make 2 meals out of a plate lunch but the combination is so killer that I couldn’t stop eating and finished it all off at lunch today.
The owner is so sweet, and quite beautiful. Their showcase always has something interesting to try such as pickled garlic in a cute little jar, fresh sliced sashimi, kimpira hasu, and outrageous takuan.
I will definitely be back for more. Tomorrow would be a good day but… they are closed on Tuesdays. Ah well, there is always Wednesday!
Such exotic food!!! Yummy!
I think the owner is Korean, her co-worker friend is Japanese, and her husband (or the man) looks very local. It makes for a very nice combination of tastes and food!
Good to know!!! Thanks!!
You’re welcome!
The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was eating the various poki dishes. However the spam musubi was just okay.
Spam, in Hawaii, is not just an acquired taste. It is imbedded, lol.
Looks yummy. I’d try all of the tuna poke.
I do! And the spicy garlic mayo one is my favorite.
Oh wow! That looks really yummy!
It is! Wish you could taste and enjoy it.
Me, too.
