Back With a Bang – Pokeworks Brings Back Bang Bang Chicken

Leading fast-casual poke brand reintroduces popular Sichuan dish

Irvine, CA  (RestaurantNews.com)  Pokeworks gives guests the freedom to “Poke Your Way,” which is why when customers demanded the brand bring back its Bang Bang Chicken, it listened. The zesty, spicy protein option is now available as a bowl, burrito or salad.

The chef-crafted Bang Bang Chicken Signature Bowl includes a unique combination of seasoned, grilled chicken topped with fresh cucumbers, edamame and cilantro, tossed with Pokeworks’ house-made Umami Shoyu sauce. The dish is then finished with fresh green onions, spicy Thai chili (optional) and sesame seeds.

Bang Bang Chicken is inspired by the authentic flavors of savory and spicy Sichuan street food. Pokeworks’ Bang Bang Chicken is tossed with the brand’s own unique Chili Crisp made with Sichuan peppercorns, chili flakes, garlic crisps, onion crisps and sesame seeds in chili oil.

“Adding Bang Bang Chicken to our protein options is the perfect way to demonstrate to our guests that we hear them,” said Mike Wu, Co-Founder of Pokeworks. “The craveable Bang Bang Chicken Signature Bowl is a delicious combination of fresh ingredients, crunchiness and flavor —  it’s an excellent complement to the seafood dishes already on our menu.”

To ensure guests can experience Pokeworks wherever they are, the brand has also recently added free delivery on orders of $35 or more in all of its markets.

As the brand renowned for launching the worldwide poke movement, Pokeworks has maintained an ongoing commitment to give diners new and delicious menu options. Recent menu additions included Flame-Cooked Salmon and Lobster Surimi, as well as dishes created to satisfy guests seeking vegan, keto-friendly, and cooked proteins.
