According to a job post within the Craigslist site, a new restaurant at 261 Elm Street is currently hiring; the address given indicates that this will be Pokeworks, with this being confirmed on the restaurant's website. (The space used to be home to Yumi.) As mentioned before, Pokeworks will likely offer a Hawaiian raw fish salad known as "poke" along with "pokirritos" which are a type of sushi burrito. Once it opens, the new shop will join two others in California as well as one each in New York City and Seattle.
Last month, a dining spot called OGinger opened next door at 263 Elm Street, and it serves sushi burritos as well.
The website for Pokeworks can be found at http://www.pokeworks.com/
