Another week, another post reporting another new poke shop. But this week, I've got something a little different. This one's a poke food truck. Remember food trucks, kids? Yep, the latest food trend has finally circled back to catch up with the last one.
The Poke Hut, despite the static-sounding name, is an honest-to-goodness food truck that drives around serving poke bowls similar to what you've probably had, well, at all the other new poke shops I've written about in the past few months. We're talking white or brown rice topped with salmon or tuna dressed in either ponzu, shoyu, or spicy mayo, then garnished with green onion, onion, fruitcake furikake (damn you, AutoCorrect!), masago, and seaweed.

It actually started trolling the streets of Orange County earlier this summer and has been making appearances mostly at The Food Truck Haven at the Outlets at Orange. They'll be at Bootleggers tomorrow night from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. if you want to catch up with them. Or if you want to fit them into your busy poke-eating schedule, check out their schedule on their website, or follow them on Twitter or Facebook–you know the drill.
