Pokeworks, the fast-casual chain known for poke bowls and sushi burritos, is planning a new restaurant in Frisco. The location is 5105 W. Eldorado Pkwy., Suite 160, with construction expected to run from March to December 2027.

The restaurant will occupy about 1,269 square feet in a new building. The project is an interior finish-out with an estimated cost of about $120,000, which suggests a compact restaurant built mainly around takeout and counter service.

Pokeworks was founded in 2015 and serves Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls and poke burritos, with fresh fish such as ahi tuna and salmon, along with chicken and tofu options. Diners can choose a signature recipe or build their own, with a selection of sauces and toppings. The brand operates mostly through franchisees, and it has been growing across Texas.

Beyond the bowls and burritos, the menu at other Pokeworks locations includes sides such as hot miso soup, garlic spam musubi and spicy edamame, plus a coco mango haupia, a coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert. The format doesn’t need a full-service kitchen, which is part of why the chain can open in smaller spaces like this one.

The filing, submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, lists the work as privately funded construction on private land. The business hasn’t announced an opening date, and the construction schedule runs through the end of 2027, so the restaurant likely won’t open until late 2027 at the earliest.
