My brother was in Hawaii a few years ago & he shared this story about how he was off the beaten…read morepath & came upon a run down gas station & convenience store. For the record - I've been to Hawaii several times but never had Poke there - to my utter shock & horror! Anyway, my bro said it was the kinda looking gas station you avoid just like in the movies. Well was he ever stunned - walked in & towards the back - Poke for sale. He really hesitated but was so hungry. Good thing he caved in cause he described it as the best Poke he ever had till today! Hawaii is the originator of Poke. I'll be honest I've been a bit slow to the Poke trend. I've tried it a couple times before but what caught my eye & my appetite this time was the sandwich board outside Westcoast Poke, advertising its daily specials. My gosh the Dynamite Poke absolutely tantilzed me. Flavours were 100% on point & delivered pure joy & happiness in mouth! Most definitely top marks for WCP! Bravo for freshness, presentation & cleanliness! I've tried the Coast Poke & thoroughly enjoyed it as well - Dynamite (Prawns) Coast (salmon). Oh one last thing - it's pronounced 'pow-kay' not 'poke' as in - I poked the bear. So say it right when you order it ok!?! Keep in mind that when you walk into most Poke shops, there is a strong pungent smell of the raw fish that's served. Trust me don't go with the urge to run away, cause the taste of Poke is absolutely a hit in all the right ways. I'm going to try & make 2023 the year I go hard at healthy eating via lots of Poke! I'm going to give up on ice-cream, donuts, chocolate, alcohol, cigar smoking etcetera ... ok staaaaaap! No way Jose! Who do you think I am!?! LOL! As it's year end I'll wish everyone a Merry Christmas & plenty drinks on New Year's Eve - celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! Salut & best wishes for 2023!

Clean minimalistic poke place in Ironwood Plaza in Richmond. Plenty of parking, and they're only…read moreoffering take-out and delivery at the moment. Patient and friendly staff, that they take the time to explain the menu to you. Very generous portions (especially with the avocado). Lots of toppings to choose from. For example, crab salad and seaweed salad had a spicy and non-spicy option, which was my first time experiencing that on a poke menu personally. My order: Coast: my favourite of the 2 bowls I ordered - it's super saucy (burnt miso chili oil & garlic aioli sauce). The highlight was the fresh Atlantic salmon, and I really enjoyed the mangoes. The sweetness from the mangoes really ties the bowl together very nicely with an extra layer of flavour. Aloha: Ahi tuna in a lighter shoyu sauce, with seaweed salad & avocado. They also offer custom bowls, and currently have a rotation of "Poke of the Day", which is $10/bowl from their Signature selection (not sure how long this promo lasts though).

Everything was great until there were extra charge to put more veggies and toppings (like bonito flakes and fried onion).

You can still collect points by entering your phone number on the tablet before paying. This place is a little different as it mixes the poke with some mixins and sauces before putting it into the bowl. It's a little wasteful because each time they mix, they use a paper dish and throw it away after use. The scoops of poke are smaller than other places and they weigh each scoop. Around $22 for a 3 scoop bowl. They do put a lot of rice though. You are allowed to add 1 of each topping (imitation crab meat and it's spict version can count as separate toppings so you can get both). The bowl was quite heavy after. I couldn't really taste the spiciness or flavors of the spicy aioli or the triffle garlic aioli sauces so even after mixing with rice, it tasted a little dry. The parking nearby is all paid which is a big downside. The parking meter in the lot is set 5 min earlier so you get 5 min less parking. Minimum is 15 min (which is 10 min) for 50 cents.
