    Cali Vegi w/ tuna
    Tommy T.

    Sounded very good, I was disappointed because I ordered the Cali Vegi with Tuna but very little tuna. Although the flavor was very good! Very skimpy on the Tuna. Also, they had very little avocado

    at the end tasted like mayo and rice
    Denise W.

    Very disappointing. The bowl is somewhat gross. So I got the Lei Poke Bowl. What I don't like about the bowl. Too much mayo Rice was mushy avocado made it worse along with the mayo. Hardly any protein (salmon). Tiny This would be one of the most expensive poke bowl I ever had due to the size and content in it. So the Lei Bowl had so much mayo that I felt like by eating it, I am going to gain a lot of weight. It looked so unhealthy and gross at the end. To the point, I couldn't handle it. On top, they said the seasoning is not spicy even though the board showed a chili pepper beside the item. It was spicy. The salmon was cut into super tiny pieces that when it touches the warm rice it automatically cooked itself to the center. See my photo for the tiny salmon. For $12 and the taste. Never coming back.

    Kids bowl
    Michelle K.

    Visited: March 29 2019 Decided on a whim and ordered lunch on an app. I've never tried poke bowls before so after quickly browsing through the menu, I chose safely and ordered the $5 kids bowl. I can tell y'all are judging me here but in my defence, I wasn't all that hungry and wanted a light lunch. The kids bowl consisted of coconut rice blend (or sushi rice), pineapples, red peppers, cukes and edamame. It came with a splash of ginger sesame sauce (or ginger tamari sauce if you prefer) on the bottom of the bowl (underneath the rice) Pickup was a breeze, the food was ready by the time I got there. On the side table, there were some black and regular sesame seeds that I can add to the bowl. I did that and it added some texture and a bit more flavour. I really liked the overall taste of the bowl, it's super clean tasting and it felt like a very healthy lunch. The small bowl of rice was surprisingly filling and satisfying. Definitely will go back and try their other menu items. Ordered: Kids Lil'Lei Poke Bowl $5 (dairy & gluten free)

    Unfortunatly I can't say this is one my favourite poke places. They don't seem to have the option to create your own bowl. So I recently tried the Lei bowl which was a salmon poke with microgreens, spicy peas, avocado, cucumber, pepper strings and furikake. The flavour was good but I didn't really think the kale work too well in the bowl and it seemed like the bowl was mostly filled with greens. It is located at a convenient location inside pacific center though which makes it a easy quick meal for those working in the area!

    I'm one of the regulars and their food is consistent everyday. Busy location, so if you work in the area, better to avoid crowd and ordering before or after the rush hour

    Looking back at the menu, I think they may have given me the wrong bowl. I did talk to the food preparer and he recommended the Tiki. However, I decided on the Nikkei instead because it seemed less spicy. The bowl I received had cucumbers and crispy onions. No sign of the citrus tastes and avocado I was looking forward to. Nice staff, but be vary of small portions. It is 2/3 or less of a regular poke bowl in downtown.

    Good service but portions are almost nonexistent. For $12 bowl I expect more. Other local poke spots around downtown have larger physical bowls to start with. Hula Poke has smaller bowls and barely fill them halfway. Nothing special about the bowl either.

    I've tried the other two Pokérritos in Vancouver and had good experiences. This was my first visit…read moreto this location and my first time trying the namesake pokérrito. Compared to the locations on W 8th and Hornby, this location is more optimized for takeout; the seating is just stools at counters along the walls and for me the counter was awkwardly high compared to the height of the stool. It was also a little loud. If you're just getting takeout it doesn't make a difference because the food is consistent between all locations, but I would recommend the other location downtown (or the W 8th location if that's in range) for a more comfortable dine-in experience. I tried the Diamond Head pokerrito and subbed out the spicy tuna for the vegan tuna. It's still not a vegan meal if you do this because there are other seafood ingredients in the wrap, but I wanted to try the vegan tuna. It was delicious but very messy because the pokérrito is essentially a giant sushi roll and not sealed at the ends. You kind of have to keep it wrapped in the paper while you eat it but there's no graceful way to eat the ends. I really enjoyed the flavours of this even if I had to get my hands dirty though. The vegan tuna is pretty good. The texture is close enough to real tuna that I wouldn't have noticed it was different if I didn't know. I also got a tiramisu. When I ordered, the person making my order informed me that it was still frozen but it was still good frozen, like ice cream. So I decided that I'd try it and it was pretty good as a frozen dessert except the large ladyfingers at the bottom were slower to soften and hard to scoop out. The coffee soaked into the ladyfingers was pretty strong and the bitterness was a nice contrast with the mascarpone cream. Their prices are very reasonable. The pokérrito and tiramisu came out to $19.90.

Generous portion for protein and lots of options for the toppings: I got spicy tuna and salmon with mango, cilantro, pineapple, jalapeno, radish, edamame, spicy seaweed and crunchy garlic. It's also nice that they let you mix two sauces (the wasabi and super spicy one in my case).

The garlic shrimp dish is available on the weekend as the special, and was the main reason we stopped in. We ordered two of those ($16.95) plus $1 for lemonade. We also got da classic ($17.95) which has ahi tuna and salmon poke over a bed of rice. You order and pay up front, and pick up the food from the counter when your number is called. Everything was good. The ahi tuna was decent, the fresh vegetables were solid, with really good rice. The quantity wasn't huge, but would be sufficient for lunch. The garlic shrimp was really good, with corn, canned pineapple, and OK macaroni salad put together over medium grain rice. The master of flavor at this restaurant has the Hawaiian flavor down, and if we had time, I would try their Kalua Pork or their Loco Moco. Next time.

    Today I came in to try their Maui ribs plate lunch…read more I got half rice, half very fresh salad greens, and instead of the scoop of corn, I got green onions. The mac salad was still perfect - not mushy, not too gloopy from too much mayo. The ribs were tasty, but the sauce was quite salty, so if you are on a salt restricted diet, this is not the dish for you. Also, I have to commend them for having decent rice - so many places have horrendous rice that I often find inedible. Other than the lack of chili pepper water, I'd say they do a decent job for a fast service Hawaiian plate lunch.

Way back…read morebefore COVID was in existence, my coworkers and I would grab poke pretty frequently from Steve's Poké Bar for lunch at Lougheed. We all loved having this as a lunch option because it's, well, relatively more nutritious and clean than say, burgers or fried Vietnamese spring rolls. So, my bro and I decided to give the SFU location a try and waiting in steady anticipation for our custom poke bowls. The food came relatively quickly and the portions are still quite generous but...the sauce department was lacking. We both felt like there wasn't enough flavour to the poke, and the plain white rice was starting to overtake the delicious toppings. It was a bit different from my past experiences with the Lougheed location. Anyways, still got my poke fix, though I may lean towards trying Pokey Okey more next time haha

I made my own bowl, which is always a lot of fun. First time I've had quinoa as a base, but let's give it a go! I think I went for most of the items, except for the ones where you had to pay extra. The tuna I got was fresh, as were the other ingredients. I went wild on adding sauces at the end. I designed a great concoction. I didn't get a seat at 3pm on a Thursday, so I had to walk back to campus to eat it. A quick thing I learned the hard way, if you want quinoa, use a spoon. Overall, friendliest staff I've met on campus, delicious choices, and quick service.
