Pokewaves Expands to Isla Vista

Pokewaves is expanding to Isla Vista with a brand-new location at 901 Embarcadero Del Mar, opening between June 24th and July 1st. Owner Shu Du, who learned sushi from his mom’s restaurant and a Japanese chef, opened the first Pokewaves in 2023 on Calle Real — now seeking a buyer or operator to take over that spot. The new Isla Vista location will feature the same beloved menu: bluefin ahi, Scottish salmon, $20 bowls, and 50 sushi rolls for $50 — plus build-your-own options. Students already love the original spot, and Du’s listening — because why not bring the poke to where the students are? Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
