Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar, the dynamic and rapidly growing poke brand founded in 2018, is riding a wave of success and will open AT Universal CityWalk Hollywood on March 16, bringing the healthy quick-serve concept and diverse dining option to a new audience. To celebrate the grand opening, Uncle Sharkii is offering Buy 1, Get 1 at 50 percent off all day on Saturday, March 16, 2024. This exclusive offer is a token of appreciation to the community for their support and a chance for new and returning customers to enjoy the delectable flavors that Uncle Sharkii is known for.

From its humble beginnings, Uncle Sharkii has been making huge waves in the culinary world through collaborations with major players like Hawaiian Airlines and Walmart, cementing its position as an emerging leader in the poke industry. This venture also marks a new chapter and exciting milestone in the evolution of fast-food choices, setting the stage for rapid expansion and innovation in the coming years.

“We are thrilled to bring Uncle Sharkii to Universal CityWalk Hollywood,” says Fen Reyes, Founder and CEO of Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar. “Our evolution from a young brand to this wonderful opportunity has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you, Universal Studios Hollywood – Uncle Sharkii is going to be BIG! It’s going to be the premier poke destination worldwide.”

Raymond Reyes, Co-Founder and COO of Uncle Sharkii, also expressed his excitement about this new opportunity by saying, “My brother and I always had fond memories going to Universal Studios Hollywood as a kid. My father, a Marine, was always deployed, but when he was home on leave, we would frequent Universal Studios Hollywood. It was great.”

Universal CityWalk’s vibrant atmosphere serves as the ideal backdrop for sharing the brand’s love for poke with locals and theme park guests alike, where they can enjoy healthy and affordable pairings of its Signature Hawaiian Poke Bowls, Boba Milk Teas & Dole Soft Serve. Uncle Sharkii stands firm as one of the only national poke brands to be curated by a local born and raised Co-Founder who grew up eating, breathing, and living all the paradisiacal essence that Hawai’i represents.

Beyond the good vibes, Uncle Sharkii is also continuing to work on bringing in new franchise partners to its network. Zero ownership experience is needed, and franchisees are given extensive training, marketing, and operational support. The company is seeking driven, coachable individuals who are ready to represent the Uncle Sharkii name with integrity and character. Currently, Uncle Sharkii has open locations in the heart of Hawai’i, California, Utah, and Texas with signed locations in Arizona and Nevada. The brand is one of the fastest growing quick-service restaurants serving Hawaiian Poke today. With low startup costs, quicker returns on investment, comprehensive training, a simple menu, and a sense of community, Uncle Sharkii aims to revolutionize the Hawaiian Poke industry from inspiration to reality.
