Jeff Goli’s passion for healthy eating and an active lifestyle was part of the driver that brought him to become a LemonShark Poke owner, “Upon visiting many pokè shops I observed their minimal menu options and lack luster store designs, I was not impressed. Once I visited LemonShark pokè in Redlands I was instantly blown away, I loved the tropical modern decor it made it feel relaxing and inviting. Along with poké, there is hot food menu that includes Hawaiian chicken katsu, tempura shrimp, sticky pineapple chicken and small bites such as the Hawaiian favorite, spam masubi. It is a complete experience that is all tied together with sake and a self serve beer wall, simply amazing!”
“It has always been a dream of mine to open a modern healthy restaurant, LemonShark Pokè exceeded my expectations especially after I met with the co-founders Tobi Miller and Richard Gottlieb to discuss franchising. From the start they were very genuine and welcoming, instantly I felt a connection to proceed with LemonShark,” Jeff Goli.
Named after the Lemon Shark who only consumed the very best fish possible, LemonShark Poké prides itself on serving the finest quality ingredients to its guests. In addition to traditional poké offerings, the menu includes shareable appetizers such as tempura shrimp and egg rolls, and its signature Hawaii Katsu menu that features cooked-to-order, delectable entrées including chicken, Alaskan cod and more. In addition, LemonShark Poké’s new location provides Southern California locals and tourists alike with an elevated dining experience – featuring Japanese-inspired upscale and chic décor.
“We chose Culver City to open our first Los Angeles location. Culver City has really grown into a thriving city that caters to the arts; movie studios, galleries and wonderful dining experiences. We feel LemonShark Poké’s elevated atmosphere fits right in!” ,” said Tobi Miller, President and co-founder of LemonShark Poké. “We know we aren’t the only poke on the West Coast but what we do know is we bring amazing flavors to the table and our guest can enjoy themselves in a refined setting paired with sake or a local brew.”
