Despite being known for its poké, I tend to order a rice plate and/or musubi from Sam Choy's Poké To The Max. This particular brick-and-mortar location is located on Rainier Ave in the Columbia City/Hillman City area. It's a popular Hawaiian food chain with also three (3) food trucks in Seattle, Tacoma, and Sea-Tac airport respectively.
Poké To The Max offers several unique musubis that you can't find elsewhere. Along with the Da Garlic Chicken Musubi, there is a Golden Katsu, Spicy Tuna, Da Poke, and a Reconstructed version. The latter has spam, egg frittata, aioli, unagi sauce with rice & nori - I'm looking forward to trying this next time! I definitely enjoyed the Da Garlic Chicken Musubi, which was crunchy and flavorful. The rice plates are fully packed and worth trying. I love how they're all served with rice and mac salad!
If you're thirsty, I recommend ordering a handcrafted tropical lemonade, which you have the option of ordering in a branded "Aloha" tumbler. My favorite lemonade flavor is the Strawberry Guava, which is refreshing. However, there are plenty of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options to choose from.
Though I have yet to try them, I'm interested in the Lumpia, Spam Fries, Fruit Haupia, Kalua Pork Nachos, and Taegu Shrimp Wrap. If it hasn't been said before, there is a huge selection of dishes on the menu and I can't wait to return to try them all!
