The business\u2019 online ordering system has been scrubbed from the web, and the listed number immediately transfers to a full voice mailbox. The Facebook open status was changed approximately two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Poki Bowl opened its first restaurant in San Jose, California, in 2015 at the height of the mid-2010s poke craze. The San Antonio outpost arrived a little late to the trend, debuting in September 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Like similar franchises, the fast-casual spot followed a build-your-own-bowl model, offering protein options like ahi tuna, yellowtail, shrimp, and salmon dressed with sriracha, miso, or a spicy house dressing. Compared to many of its contemporaries, it offered fewer toppings, but guests could build a bowl on taro chips.<\/p>\n<p>The Alamo City location opted out of the colorful macaron ice cream sandwiches served at many of its sibling restaurants, instead selling premade ice cream cookies from Boerne\u2019s Blithe Creamery.<\/p>\n<p>In April, local entrepreneurs Christopher Matz and Carl Bishop announced they were taking over the franchise, framing the move as a relaunch. The Potranco Road storefront was the only Texas arm of the Californian chain, which primarily operates in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>Requests for a comment were not returned by publication time.
