LemonShark Poke Cost Comparisons

About LemonShark Poke

Lemon Shark Poké began as a collaboration between two lifelong friends Tobi Miller and Richard Gottlieb. The duo has been immersed in Hawaiian culture for nearly four decades, having gone on annual family trips together to the islands while growing up. It was during these vacations that they first encountered Hawaiian cuisine at age 11, and immediately developed a passion for the food and the people of Hawaii.

After running their own separate restaurant ventures for several years, they decided to bring their original love - Hawaiian cuisine - to the mainland. In doing so, they consulted with Hawaiian native chef, Brunson Achiu (who has brought Regional Hawaiian Cuisine to the mainland) to develop LemonShark Poke’s unique and innovative menu.

The first two restaurants opened in Redlands and San Bernadino, CA in 2016 to rave reviews and huge success. Yelp ratings are averaging high results.
 LemonShark Poke awarded 26 franchises in the first two months of franchising: San Diego, CA; Los Angeles, CA; NYC, NY; Chicago, IL; Austin and Dallas TX; and Orlando, FL. We are staffed for rapid growth with over 50+ corporate employees already in place from the franchise restaurant industry, and real estate professionals on staff to assist you to find only the very best locations.
