After months of renovations, Pokéworks opened earlier this month at 40 Church Street in Burlington. The fish bowl and burrito spot is the latest location in a ballooning New York-based franchise that includes more than 30 outposts throughout North America.
As at other fast-service restaurants, guests build custom protein bowls, burritos or salads by choosing a base protein (ahi tuna, salmon, tofu, chicken and scallops are among the options) and adding fruits, veggies and sauces to their liking.
The Burlington location comes from regional restaurant entrepreneurs Jason Sugarman and Rong Cong, whose other holdings include Pokéworks in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and seven Johnny Rockets burger franchises.
