Po-ke is an amazing new addition to Calgary. I waited so long for it to open, and it was definitely worth the wait! The service is very friendly, and the food is amazinggg. I always get the Salmon Bowl, and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. I get it with extra EXTRA sriracha sauce. All the fish and toppings are all always very fresh. The only downsides I can think of are that the location is a bit small - very limited seating available, but as a new restaurant, that's totally understandable. It also is a little on the pricier side - around $12-14/bowl. You do get quite a bit of food, though. read more

I love this place, it's close to home and always delicious. The only complaint I have is their service fluctuates a lot. I always get the Hurricane bowl and it's different every time in the sense that unless I am familiar with ordering this, I wouldn't know what to do. The servers sometimes skip steps in the bowl i.e. mix-ins for the protein. Consistency is key. I think they really need to guide the customers through the ordering process. I've sent a few family and friends there and had a horrible experience because it was their first time and what they ordered was not what they wanted. They will not be returning. read more

This has become a frequent stop for me! Portions are huge, I can barely finish my regular. I always do a custom bowl with lettuce as the base so I can get everything that I want. The service fluctuates depending on the person (they seem to be hiring new staff, I received one bowl that has way too much sauce, half my bowl was full of liquid once I finished eating) but 8/10 visits my bowl is done perfectly. read more

I've been to this place a couple times and it hasn't dissapointed. Everything tastes extremely fresh and their sauces are to die for! You get a lot of food here and I always end taking some of it home...to eat it an hour later... Seriously, amazing Po-ke! Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the line up is sometimes long and I wish it was located more towards central downtown. read more

There was a lot of stuff in the bowl and most of it just masked the taste of the fish, which is a good thing if the fish isn't fresh. After having poke in Hawaii, I'm used to the fish being the star of the show with little extras other than rice. Definitely not my kind of thing but worth a try. I got the regular size and was quite full after. read more

I came on opening day and it was well worth the wait, even though they had almost run out of protein! I have come a few times since and each time is delicious! The staff are friendly, but sometimes seem a bit unorganized (but they did only just open so I think this will become less of an issue). I've had a couple different poke bowls, the SumoDog, and a sushi burrito. I'm not sure but I felt like the burrito had msg because I felt extremely drowsy after eating it. Other than that, no complaints! A tasty, healthy meal! read more

Tried this place when it first opened and wow was I impressed. As we were waiting, friendly Po-ke staff came by with menus to check on how we are doing as grand opening day was crazy busy. We decided to try one of each thing on the menu and therefore got a po-ke bowl, a sushi burrito and a po-ke dog. It was well worth the wait because the food was so DELICIOUS and fresh plus the staff were very patient in taking the time to explain to us what was in every item as it was our first time trying it. It was so good I actually went there the next day but they were sold out for the day.. It shows how fresh the fish is as they only have a certain amount each day. Definitely a place to try! read more

Great selection of ingredients to make your own Poke. Only problem was the tuna, which was clearly frozen and very cold to the point that we couldn't eat it right away. Otherwise the other ingredients were fresh and delicious. read more

TL;DR : This place has TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT and clearly DOES NOT CARE about their customers. The owner and manager CINDY NGUYEN DOES NOT KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE! REVOKED MY COMPLIMENTARY BOWLS WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME. Passes blame for mistakes onto others and insists we were in the wrong LONGER VERSION: Okay so I know some of you have read the 11 person Halloween get together, here is the FULL STORY of what happened. Some friends came over to celebrate Halloween and we decided to order food. I didn't know at the time but almost everyone decided to order from this particular restaurant. There was still 1.5 hours until they were closed so we thought we would still be enough time and ingredients for us. About 15 minutes after we placed our order we received a call from Po-ke saying "we don't have enough white rice, is it ok if we use brown rice instead?". We all agree that it is ok and tell the employee that it's ok. At around 8:45 pm (15 minutes before they close) out food arrived and as we distribute the bowls we notice that ALL of the bowls are BARELY HALF FULL and that some bowls are COMPLETELY WRONG. we call the restaurant to complain and the employee notified us that he will pass the message on to the owner/manager (Cindy) when she arrives after closing. We all eat the bowls in the meantime since we are all hungry (we were still hungry after eating because, again, the bowls were less than half full) and I receive a call from Cindy at around 9:10 pm. We talk and I express my discontent with the way the order was prepared (I did say that the time it took to prepare was ok since I understand that it was a large order). She continues to PASS THE BLAME onto Doordash since we ordered through them and asks if we still had the bowls so we can "return them" and that we might have been able to have them "corrected" if we still had them in hand. I told her "no. We were all hungry so we ate them all. She continued to insist that there was enough protein in all the bowls (I've eaten there multiple times before and the amount was far less than what it usually was) and insisted it was only the rice that was lacking. We eventually reach the agreement that we would receive 3 complimentary large bowls to make up for the incident. THE NEXT DAY I receive a call from Cindy saying "your friends are RUINING my reputation." She tried to convince me to have my friends take their bad reviews down or we would not recieve the complimentary bowls. I explained that I didnt have that authority over what my friends do and it is implied that we would still get the complimentary bowls. NOW I finally found time to go pick up my free bowls and I feel like giving them another chance, so I go in and ask for them. But I find out that CINDY HAS REVOKED MY COMPLIMENTARY BOWLS WITHOUT EVEN NOTIFYING ME because some of my friends wrote in their reviews that they would not come back. I will iterate that I MYSELF NEVER SAID SUCH A THING. Overall I am completely dissapointed by this establishment mainly because of the way it is run. I would not suggest eating here even if it was the only restaurant in town. Thank you for reading this long post (some minor details were excluded due to length but if you contact me (find me on Facebook or something) wanting ALL the details I will gladly provide it) read more

What a unique restaurant! The food is great, the atmosphere is very dynamic and the customers are very diverse! A really fun place to go! We were so happy that the bowls and cutlery are compostable. Great place all round!! read more

Really good sized portions and quality ingredients. I went here on a Tuesday night and there was a steady line. The food was coming out fairly quickly. The staff were friendly and didn't seem stressed with the amount of people. I could see this place being a logistical nightmare for the indecisive. I recommend checking out the menu and deciding on what you want before getting started as there are a ton of choices if you are building your own bowl. I would definitely come back again. read more

The first time coming here I was excited the line was long but staff are nice. Food is average. But my stomach got sick a few hours later, maybe because the fish is not cold enough & been sitting there for too long. I got one of their signatures but didn't like it so I usually get the make your own bowl. My first experience was horrible I swear I would never go back but I find myself going back because of the craving for sushi. I'd rather get a bowl than go to a sushi restaurant. read more

Do yourself a favour and go here! I've ordered the first two poke bowls from the menu on lettuce so far and they've both been awesome (poke special has been my favourite though). There is a lot of fish in a regular bowl which justifies paying more than $10 for lunch. Friendly staff and good loyalty card. I'll be back a bunch more over the summer since it's filling, fresh and doesn't leave you feeling gross after eating out. read more

A welcome addition to Calgary's food scene! Healthy, fast and tasty. Can't wait to to eat it again!

Oh my! I waited since December for this place to open and I have to say the wait was well worth it! Im always afraid of the fishy fish taste but here the fish was so fresh and I absolutely LOVED it. The staff was extremely friendly. It was nice to have so many options to chose from too. Everything was just so tasty makes trying to eat clean alot easier. Ill be coming here before I hit the gym every day. =) read more

ID GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD! Absolutely the worst customer service possible! I heard a lot of good things about this place so I was hoping to have an amazing dinner here. Me and 10 of my friends decided to order from here, we first received a call saying they ran out of white rice and asked us if brown rice was ok. We said yes. We then waited about an hour for our food to arrive, and when we received our order, all 11 of our poke bowls were half filled!!! Each bowl had barely any rice (this is supposed to be a rice bowl btw), they tried to compensate the emptiness of the bowl with wayyyy too much onions, it turned out to be like an onion salad rather than a rice bowl. When we called to complain about our order, it seemed like the manager was trying to put the blame on us saying that we were lying about it and asking for proof (mind you, we were only able to speak to her about an hour after we received our order) and she dared to ask us if we had ate yet. The manager was extremely rude and did not know how to handle the situation in a professional manner. She was not even at the store when our order was prepared but decided to believe what her employees told her. The employees should've called to say they didn't have enough ingredients to fill our order. We were only compensated with 3 free bowls on our next in store purchase. Honestly the WORST customer service ever. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! OVERPRICED! MEDIOCRE POKE! BAD SERVICE! Paid $15 for half a bowl! Will not eat here ever again. read more
