A familiar spot in Folsom’s Palladio at Broadstone has been given a flavorful new life with the arrival of Fish & Things Poke Bar, a fresh and modern eatery that’s officially opened its doors with a soft launch this month.
Located in the same space once occupied by Poke Noke, the new poke concept brings vibrant energy, elevated ingredients, and an expansive menu to the heart of the shopping and entertainment district. It’s the fourth location for Fish & Things, which got its start in Elk Grove in 2017 and has since expanded to San Jose, San Diego, and now Folsom.
Founded in Elk Grove by CEO Nam Huynh and operated alongside Chief Operating Officer Be Ngo, Fish & Things began as a quick-service poke bowl restaurant with a focus on fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and made-to-order customization. What started as a local eatery has grown into a growing franchise model under Fish & Things Franchise LLC, with the Folsom location marking its latest expansion.
“Fish & Things Poke Bar is a vibrant, modern eatery dedicated to serving the freshest and highest-quality poke bowls,” the company cites. “Whether you prefer classic tuna or a more adventurous choice, every bowl is crafted to satisfy your cravings for something healthy, fresh, and full of flavor.”
True to that mission, the Palladio menu is anything but ordinary. Guests can choose from signature bowls like the Salmon Volcano—featuring spicy salmon, crab salad, seaweed salad, and sweet onion—or build their own with a customizable mix of proteins, veggies, sauces, and toppings. Poke fans will find favorites like ahi tuna, salmon, spicy scallops, shrimp, and tofu for a plant-based option.
But Fish & Things goes beyond the bowl. The menu features inventive items such as salmon poke tacos wrapped in crispy gyoza shells, teriyaki chicken bowls, seared salmon plates, Spam musubi, and a variety of sushi rolls. Standouts include the Crunchy Tiger Roll, Aloha Roll, and a customer favorite—Fire Cracker Balls, made of spicy tuna, crab, avocado, and jalapeños deep-fried into golden bites of flavor.
And for those looking to take their poke game to the next level, poke by the pound is available at market price—a perfect option for parties, meal prep, or sharing with friends.
As with some of its other openings, the Folsom expansion follows a trend of Fish & Things bringing new energy to spaces formerly occupied by other poke concepts. In San Diego, the brand took over a location once run by Aloha Poke. In Folsom, it fills the vacancy left by Poke Noke, which closed last year in the Palladio.
With its clean aesthetic, streamlined ordering system, and commitment to quality, Fish & Things is poised to become a go-to lunch or dinner destination for shoppers, professionals, and foodies alike in Folsom. Whether it’s a power lunch or a laid-back weekend dinner, the new eatery offers a nourishing, flavor-packed experience with every visit.
Fish & Things Poke Bar is now open at 330 Palladio Parkway in Folsom, Suite 2045. For a full look at the menu or to place an order online, visit the official online ordering page.
