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!

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).

It's a pretty standard poke place but how else can you elevate a poke bowl... Bowls are made from your favourite ingredients and sauces. One ingredient that stood out is the fried onion/shallot and garlic that gave a crunchy texture to my poke. Spicy Salmon, Shoyu Tuna and Sweet Salmon had anything barely left as if they're closing soon already. Each had a scoop left - not very enticing to walk in to a place where they're rushing to close. Another couple walked in and the two servers were cleaning the cooler of food so they walked out.

There was a lot of fresh variety typical of poke, but I think what was most unique was the kale noodles, which is a sub for the rice. It tasted really good and my price liked it very much.

Apparently this is a US chain that just opened up here. The app doesn't take Canadian phone numbers…read moreyet but they said they are working on it. 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.

I thought the tofu was pretty good and I could actually taste the marinade. Additionally, all of the vegetables they used seemed very fresh. For my base, I went half and half with brown rice and mixed greens, and it seemed like there was just a normal amount of rice with greens added, so a bit heavy on the rice for my taste, but I don't feel like I got shortchanged on the greens so I'm not mad about it.

Priced similarly like other chains (~$18.6 for medium bowl), portion size is enough to last me 2 meals. I've only tried their red and green bowl but really enjoyed both of them. All the ingredients are fresh and well-seasoned. The green bowl, which is my favourite, tastes really fresh and zesty since it uses lots of wasabi based components (love how strong it is but definitely one to avoid if you dislike wasabi). The red bowl was also really got, though unfortunately the spicy mayo got a little overbearing for me halfway through. Would come back to try their yellow bowl next!

We asked every time when they will have hojicha ice cream back and staff doesn't know either. Hojicha Chestnut Shortcake, Cake is soft and fluffy, and very too sweet. It is always my favorite. This time i gave a 4 stars is because they discontinue serving Onigiri ( rice ball) and savory item. That's too bad! I love their Onigiri and ramen!

When I had the chance to go to Vancouver, BC with my boyfriend I wanted to go here! First all, you need a reservation specifically for the high tea portion so we booked that ahead of time. As you go in you are led to an area of Tsujiri where there are just tatami mats and no shoes are allowed on it. We were first sat down with matcha to start with and the music surrounding us was serene and calming. Then came the high tea, compared to your usual high tea, without the Japanese fusion. This came with a lot of interesting treats. In the middle tier, there was your savory two different types of onigiri, savory rice cakes, and elevated salad with a jelly. The salad was incredible and unlike anything I've had before. The onigiris were good as they should be so was the rice cakes. Top tier and bottom tier consisted of the desserts one plate for me and one plate for my boyfriend. My favorite was the mango mochi. It was so creamy and delicious! The other dessert was solid too, I like the little mousse cake. I also liked the add on of a matcha sauce for the fruits. Tsujiri definitely transformed high tea into a Japanese version and it was well put. Both usually make me full. I do wish there was more options on savories you could have before eating the sweets, but this is a slightly different experience.

The fish come with sauce, but I should have asked for extra sauce on it because it had either dried up a bit or soaked into the rice. Considering the other choices around UBC, this is probably pretty good value for money. I ordered takeout, but they have a few seats inside and outside if you prefer. The street currently has a bunch of (summer) construction, though. They frequently have promo discounts on their site, but if you order on their online platform, there's a mandatory $0.25 bag fee.

Unfortunately, things seem to have gone down hill a bit with lower quality fish (almost sinewy) and rolls that fall apart.

Service was lackluster, with minimal eye contact and rude demeanor (the staff picked up the phone and took an order halfway through a sentence. Food is the basis of a restaurant, but service can do wonders to make or break a restaurant - today that was the case and it made me instantly regret tipping (yes I know I asked for it, on a take out order!) At nearly $40 for a lunch for one I'll take my business elsewhere.
