Having recently moved to Yaletown, I wanted to try a new Pokebowl place and discovered Pokey Okey near my office. Everybody was very welcoming and service was really friendly. 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!

Delicious poke , great service , great and clean eating area .. recommended to build your owe bowl

Always order the build my own bowl (usually with salmon and tuna as the protein) for lunch, and it never disappoints! So delicious and fresh, and I always add all of the toppings that they have and it adds such a nice crunch to the bowl!

Green Bowl....$18 after tax

I had the Green Bowl. It was ok. Tried the seaweed salad. for the last time. Not my thing. The branding is pretty. The prices not very competitive. Probably gonna go to the other Pokey place I liked more. That pretty much sums it up.

The red bowl with an extra scoop of scallops added. Delicious, fresh and hearty.

I had their Red Bowl with an extra scoop of chopped scallops added, and had half rice, half greens. I think it came to around $18 and I thought it was a fabulous deal, given the freshness of the ingredients, how tasty it was, and the volume of food you got. I'm not sure how they're making money on this. Anyway, I generally avoid these kind of spots because the seafood is usually so gross - but I was seriously IMPRESSED with the quality and flavour. If like me, you're leery of cheap sushi spots, I would give this place a try for a quick, affordable bite on a busy day.

Large Poke Bowl, $17.25
Christy L.

I hate to say it but this was actually hands down the worst poke bowl I have ever had. The branding is quite incredible as is their photos, and that's how they reeled me in, but before I even stepped foot out the door with my takeout bowl, I was already feeling the regret of ever coming in. I ordered one large bowl which came out to be a little over $17 which already felt a bit steep. But for three tiny scoops of fish that had no flavor? That's what got me! I've never been to a poke place that has you pick your sauces and doesn't mix it with the fish. Is this a Vancouver thing? Additionally, the imitation crab smelled awfully fishy and a little off putting. Each topping individually wasn't necessarily terrible but overall the bowl was just flavorless, bland, and overpriced.

Small green bowl ($14.66 after tax)

A conveniently located poke place across the court/robson square. There are two tables and some bar seats so it's meant to be more of a takeout place or for a quick bite. At first glance I though their menu in the interior was a bit confusing since it's displayed with chalk and not the typical print. However it's quick to understand after that initial confusion. Ordered the green bowl and was happy with it. The only thing was that I found it slightly on the more salty side. Overall I give this place a 4.25 since it's good but it's not that different from the average poke place. Though their interior is quite cute with the original artwork.

The green poke bowl

You put your right hand in, you put your right hand out. You put your right hand in and you stir the POKE about. You do the POKE OKEY and you put it in your mouth. That's what it's all about. First time trying poke and it tasted so fresh. This is a great picnic item! It travels well, easy to eat and aesthetically pleasing. Yellow bowl: spicy salmon, scallop salad, seaweed salad, pineapple salsa, purple cabbage, ramen egg, tempura flakes, seaweed flakes and Pokey Okey sauce Green bowl: tuna, salmon, capelin roe, seaweed salad, purple cabbage, soybeans, imitation crab, wasabi peas, seaweed flakes and wasabi mayo

Red Bowl
Aerica W.

Beautiful new location, they have a cool light mural and LED lights inside the store. Funky and energetic vibe. Red Bowl: Spicy tuna & salmon, fish roe, seaweed salad, kimchi radish, purple cabbage, fried onion, seaweed flakes, and spicy mayo sauce. My favourite part of this is the kimchi radish, as it adds an additional layer of flavour to the bowl. Yellow Bowl: Spicy salmon, scallop, ramen egg, seaweed salad, pineapples, corn, ramen egg, tempura flakes, and Pokey Okey sauce. I personally liked this more, since it comes with the egg (worth it!), and the sweetness from the fruit is a great addition to the bowl overall in terms of flavours. Milk Tea: bottled, on the sweet side. Pretty generous portions, and I opted for salad in both bowls.

It was quite late at night and I wanted something that I haven't had in a long time. I was walking around downtown on a weekday at 7 pm and I came across Pokey Okey. I got the green bowl. The regular bowl size is $14. They were very generous with the proteins. The bowl was very delicious. They do have a stamp card loyalty program in place. All the ingredients are made fresh. The bowl is prepared upon order. Friendly staffs.

The Green Bowl
Ania D.

We had it delivered and ordered -the Green bowl, and one -build your own I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Usually I find that seaweed salad can taste quite strong and be overbearing if prepared and stored incorrectly, however, the seaweed salad was good from this place! The texture can also sometimes be a turn off, but yet again, but their seaweed salad texture was good. Additionally, I love the fact that you can do half brown rice half salad. The sauces were great, they don't charge extra for crab meat, and the fish tasted fresh. Overall very happy! I think that the portions could be a *little bit* bigger, and that they maybe could have a wider selection/range of things/veggies to add (for example they didn't have ginger. That being said they did have really good kimchi that most other places don't have). Other that, I highly recommend !!

Beefy bowl
Ryland L.

Delicious, high quality, and healthy food. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Red bowl
Audrey T.

Finally visited this location! They were giving out free poke bowls for their grand opening and it was absolutely delicious! I tried the red bowl which had ample spicy tuna, spicy salmon, flying fish roe, seaweed salad, kimchi radish, purple cabbage, fried onion, seaweed flakes and spicy mayo sauce. It was really packed with ingredients and not a lot of rice, which I really appreciated!

I love the burrito concept for a smaller portion option for poke bowl. I also love how easy it is…read moreto eat with the way they pre-cut your sushi burrito in half. My favourite is the Hawaiian classic. Everything came so beautifully together - the tuna with the sweet of corn, tang of pineapple, and crisp of tempura, the substance from seaweed. The burrito was perfect when I wasn't too hungry but definitely could have a bit more this time when I had a light breakfast. I also hope to try their torch options while the weather is still cold out. There is a $10 burrito Tuesday promotion so that's a $3 difference from My Hawaiian roll came up to $13. I'd like to add tamago and imitation crab to the Hawaiian roll (pineapple, tuna, seaweed salad, corn, radish coin, alfalfa, crispy tempura) next time! I like the nice and quiet ambiance, never too busy and staff are always friendly, even if I'm taking longer to decide.

I grabbed lunch here with a coworker. I might have been to Pokerrito before, but it was so long…read moreago, I don't remember what I had or if i had enjoyed it or not. I used the kiosk to order myself an Ahi Tuna Pokerrito. It probably took about 5 minutes to prepare, and I took it back to my office to eat. I like the idea of a handheld food, but in reality, it wasn't as easy to eat as I would have hoped. The nori wrap gets damp, and so it's a not easy to take a bite cleanly, and the nori on it's own it's stiff enough to hold itself up after removing the outer wrap. You end up making a tearing motion when eating, so it gets a bit messy. Taste-wise, it was fine. It had decent proportions of tuna and crab meat, and the tempura crisps gave it some nice crunchy texture. Overall, it was ok. For $14, I felt it was a reasonably priced, quick and satisfying enough. I got what I wanted for quick, easy lunch.

As the name would suggest, it's a typical poke place, build-your-own style. There's not a lot that…read morereally stands out to me but nothing to complain about either. Not a ton of toppings, but enough to put together something good. The prices are fair - the pricing is based on the number of protein scoops you want, and includes 5 veggies with unlimited sauces and standard "sides" (which are really just more veggie toppings), which is enough that you probably won't need to add on extra and bump the price up, although there are premium options like the kale noodle base and masago that cost extra. The tofu bowl that I ordered was fresh and tasty. I ordered with the kale noodle base, and they were really good (pretty stuck together at first, though), but I'm skeptical of the $2 upcharge. Overall not the most memorable, but seems like a safe option for something quick, fresh, and healthy. The shop has kind of a sterile look, but it's clean and the staff is nice.

Solid healthy options at this typical poke bar…read more I ordered their vegetarian poke bowl ($12.95 plus tax; which can be done vegan), which comes with tofu, and everything else is customized. I went with brown rice and salad leaves for the base, and added all sorts of toppings with a couple of sauces. The order was ready exactly when they said it would. Tasty enough, with fresh ingredients. There certainly was nothing remarkable about it, but it was a solid healthy option. Good spot for a casual grab n go meal made fresh.
