We tried Poke House in Cranford NJ. Which sells both poke and ramen. Poke is a Hawaiian dish consisting of sliced cubed fish tossed in sauce and served over plain steamed rice. Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian. While it's not Japanese there is some influence from Japanese immigrants with soy sauce and a desire for premium grade tuna.
I ordered the shrimp ramen which came with a choice of ramen or udon noodles, shrimp, soft boiled brown egg, bamboo, fish Cake, and scallion. The soup had lots of shrimp, more then 6 pieces. It was served hot but not too warm that it would burn like most restaurants. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. Overall this was a good bowl of soup but nothing made it stand out and the table was missing ramen seasoning.
I'm looking forward to returning to try the poke. I did like the simple design of the restaurant and that you can order from the large kiosk. The staff was great and gave us fresh orange slices at the end.
