    Poke is definitely one of my favorite go to food. I just landed in Calgary and was looking for food. I wanted something light and healthy. I went and looked on Yelp and found Ola Poke. Well, I was also looking for a place that I have never been since the last day/time I was in Calgary was 685 days ago. I really liked the Poke here. Choices are ok. I got a regular size bowl which came with 2 proteins and 2 mix ins. Also for some mix-ins there were an additional price. For example, I got imitation crab meat and that was an extra 0.50 cents. Also a lot of the proteins had an extra price to it as well. So for the proteins and mix-in that came with the bowl with no extras were very limited. In terms of the other crunch and tops, those were unlimited. I ended up getting the soy salmon and regular salmon. The poke was very tasty and fresh. It was a bit pricey but this was because I am in Calgary. Portion size was definitely bigger than most other poke places around town from what I remembered. I highly recommend coming here for lunch. There are seats here. Note that this place is like a restaurant here. It is not located in the plus 15. It is on the first floor.

    Another excellent fresh poke restaurant in town! I like that everything is fresh and tasty from the protein to the veggies and their sauces. I had the regular build-a-bowl with salmon and all their veggies with brown rice. Customer service is excellent. Will be back k!

    My go-to place for poke in downtown. Lots of different choices for toppings but I think they can still make some improvements on their protein. The fish selections are fresh but it's either sauceless (not marinated) or spicy (marinated). Depending on what sauce you choose or how much it's put on, it drastically affects the taste of your bowl. Sometimes, I feel like I'm eating a salad and rice bowl with toppings as opposed to an actual poke bowl. It's definitely not comparable to Hawaii. The staff here are super friendly (owner's daughter remembers me after one visit), generous portions and prices are on par. I do wish they have regular ahi tuna (they only have spicy).

    Ola Poke is a very well executed sushi/lunch concept. The menu is mainly sushi-style salads and sushi "burritos." I ordered the Ola Special Burrito, which is Brown Rice, Salmon, Shrimp, Crab meat, Avocado, Cabbage, Tempura, Fish Roe and Spicy Mayo. All wrapped in Seaweed. It was pretty good. Since it was my first time and I didn't quite know what I was getting, I stuck with the mix on the menu. Next time, I'll skip the tempura and mayo for a healthier option (which definitely won't taste as good, though). As for the premises, imagine a very high end cafeteria-style restaurant (i.e. like Subway but way nicer) with pop- Hawaiian decor. I only wish it was a little closer to my office. I will be back to try more!

    Our family of four ordered the poké bowls and it was absolutely fantastic. Just like on the big island of Hawaii

    There are some good stuff about this place…read more I got the Poke Special Bowl. The fish were fresh and the portion was big. The scooper spoon they used was big. They were very generous on the fish. Only thing I didn't like was the rice as a bit hard. I wish it was more soft and warm. But overall, I loved it. Good big generous portion for the price I paid. Too bad the restaurant is not in downtown. It is a bit of a walk from my place (downtown). Definitely can't come here during lunch time. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Have been coming here everytime we go for Coco or Tokyo Street Market, so I think it's fair to say…read morethat it's not bad. But that being said, there are some things they could definitely improve on. We have ordered the salmon, poke special, spicy poke burrito, and their poke hotdogs. Their bowls are great, very loaded and the flavour profile is great. The poke burrito was a mess and wouldn't order again. The hotdogs were prepared horribly, all the times we ordered it, so safe to say that we won't order those anymore as well. Also, the last time we ordered the poke special dog, it was very blah and almost cold. I would say that we would probably come back just for the bowls, if we are in the area, but in my opinion the 17th avenue is a far better location. Also, everytime I enter this store, it smells of something of chlorine, which their other stores don't smell like. So can't truly recommend this location, but if you are in a pickle and crave poke it's not too bad.

    The quality of their fish is very good. Looks to be a family business with the mother waiting…read moretables, father as chef, and daughter helping out. Very sweet family and good service. It's a clean and charming but small space with only four group-size tables, and long benches along one side of the wall that wouldn't be comfortable for eating. Unless they typically have long waitlists, it might be better to get rid of the longer bench and squeeze-in a couple more tables for individual diners. Their ordering system can be a little confusing, first you order from the menu and then select modifications or extras on their tablet. The tablet is arranged from the restaurant's point-of-view, so it would have been nice to get some guidance and instructions from the waitress on how to use it properly. I'd recommend getting extra fish, and extra sauce if that's available, should you prefer an adequate balance of carbs, proteins, and moisture in the poke. Unfortunately I did find a tiny hair in my meal which could be easily missed, still a No Bueno.

I ordered the Yuzu Poke Bowl (Coconut House Blend, Ahi Tuna). The bowl was ok but it was very salty. The portion size was ok or somewhat small. It would be nice if they added more ahi tuna in the bowl. One thing I liked about Hula is that they have sesame on the side to be added as toppings. From my pictures, you can see how much I added. When I arrived I saw a long lineup. Right away, I went on Ritual and placed my order there. Food took about 5 mins to be prepare (while the app said 10 mins). I think it would have taken the same amount of time if I actually waited in line. So I definitely saved time by ordering on Ritual. Hula is located in Brookfield Palace. There are plenty of seats. Yes they are located in the plus 15. Hula is also located in Vancouver. The menu is very similar. I do like the Calgary location more than the Vancouver location.
