The price/value offering is my main concern and the reason for the 2 star rating. The lil poke bowl includes one protein and two toppings with a sauce and choice of brown or white rice, vermicelli noodles, or salad. The cooked protein option is cold chicken that had a sweet/salty sauce. One scoop of cooked chicken is not expensive yet the bowl is $14.45. They opened a ghost kitchen that offers loaded hotdogs through a brand called oomami dog. The menu seems to be inspired by japadog which started in Vancouver. The price of a hotdog with some unique toppings is +/- $15. I understand that the food cost for most restaurants is 30% or less but that is supposed to cover servers wages, dishwashing costs, and the dining room space itself. Oomami does not pay for any of that overhead since Splash Poke is the name on the lease. Regarding the actual food: the bun is the exact same type that you get from your local grocery store. Retail for one of these is under $0.40. The hotdog itself might be slightly more: maybe $1.00 retail. Then there are some toppings but the size and flavour do NOT justify the price. Japadog is an international brand that has built a consumer base over years of hard work selling hotdogs on the street of downtown Vancouver. Through the rain and weather they built a dedicated following, saved money, and opened up actual restaurants and increased their menu. Oomami Dog wants to jump on the bandwagon, copy the business model and charge top dollar for something that could be made at home. I'm all for marketplace competition but this is not the way to success. If you want to find a competitive product to Japadog, go to It'Dog on 109 st near the university. This place serves Korean inspired hotdogs and fried chicken at reasonable prices. Their most expensive dog is $10 but the average is $8 (almost 50% less than Oomami). They also offer bulgogi poutine and other contemporary Korean street food.
Check my reviews, I eat at a LOT of poke places. Now, to be fair, the poke here is good. But the issue is they charge extra per scoop of ahi tuna. Ahi is the main staple of a poke dish, you don't charge a per scoop extra fee for the main ingredient and punish people for going with the standard. I wanted a large bowl and asked for ahi, they told me on top of the $17 price for the bowl it would be an extra $3. I had to make them explain it to me because I was so confused. It's just a ludicrous policy. And no kimchi... On the plus side they had some Gluten-Free sauces. The fish was fresh, and the topping choices were pretty good. The kids working here were not super great, but did the job. I was really unhappy with the way the menu prices were setup with the agi, no one does this... The poke was good, but I'd suggest 'Ono Poke on 104th St over this.
Hawaiian eats close to home. Poke bowls picking up speed for YEG tastes and memories of island vacays. New Southside location satisfies poke cravings without the drive to their original location downtown. Lots of parking, which is an issue for downtown. Menu is the same. Ordered double protein as single is snack appetizer size. DH likes his classic protein on salad and me tropical on salad & brown rice. Asked for more salad as server was cheap on the veggies and it's a $15 bowl!!! Unripe mango in mine put the bowl off, skip the mango. DH poke was on the saltier side. We'll be back for a healthy meal on the go.
Newly opened branch so it was worth a try. I ordered The Classic at $14.95 - comes in small served plastic bowl. I was surprise with the added raw tuna and salmon as the 'protein,' i would prefer it cooked if added to corn, veggies and rice. My son added: Can they served it in non-plastic container too?
Been meaning to try this place for ages and glad we finally did! Unlike poke you'd find in Hawaii where the entire serving is marinated sashimi grade fish with usually some tangy wakame salad or bits of tasty seaweed, these poke bowls feature a scoop (or 3) of sashimi grade fish cubes, choice of sauce and toppings placed on a large bed of choice of rices, or salad. The customization option is nice, love the garlic aioli and how you can ramp up the heat if you wish or have a lighter salad vs a heartier rice bowl. Would be nice if the fish was marinated so it uptake more flavor vs just being on the surface. It can get pricey if you up the amount of protein, but overall the poke bowls are tasty and great as a grab and go.
Wasn't too hungry so I got their smallest size (10.95) as a snack. The poke style here is you choose your fixings and sauces and then they toss everything together and mix. I don't prefer my poke this way, but at least their sauces are decent and fish was fresh. I got the ahi tuna (1.00) for a surcharge and minimal fixings as the smallest bowl didn't come with much. It tasted good, but at a price...
YUUUUMMMMY. Location on the South Side finally, dont have to trek all the way to Whyte or Downtown to enjoy the trendy eats that come to town. Located on Calgary Trail South just across LA Fitness and behind A & W. I am letting you all know, as it took a bit to manuver getting there if you missed the turn. BUT how can you miss the GIANT pink sign sticking out on Calgary trail, well...1. If going the opposite way, you cant see it as its only a one way south. 2. Its ADJACENT to it, and its located inside the complex so if you pass the sign, you pass the Poke! Walking in from the cold -in April- I felt like I transitioned into summer right away. Light, minimal decor but the music was as if you were on the beach. Loved it. Staff were very new but nice. Fast and efficient. Friendly and talkative and the line was steady. We all couldnt decide and they were helpful with choosing selections. You get the "pre-made" but you can change what you want in it. OR you can build your own. I got the Classic 14.95$ and made a few changes so it came out to be below 20$. The 3 Splash was worth it as it was enough for two people or you can take it to go and have some left overs for later. Worth it, still fresh later on! Fish, fruit and salad were very fresh and their sauces- especially with the combo of siracha, yum! I dont mind the plastic containers as its easy to take to go if you order more. Its a combo of sit-in /take away and works for me. Parking is great as they have a shared lot. Id go again for sit in or take out! YAY for being on the Southside!!!!!!!
Their second location! Located just south of the Whitemud off Calgary trail. Easy to get to with lots of customer parking- which is a nice option if you don't want to hunt for parking downtown. I came for lunch and I really enjoy how you can customize your bowl to what proteins you want added in. Fresh and satisfying. This is my first poke bowl so can't compare it to others but I'd come back here again Returned asecond time and ordered "the works"- so good!!! I would recommend sticking to their specials off the menu (instead of building your own). They have just the right sauce combos.
Splash poke is just like the other locations fresh and flavourful. Really enjoy how we could split the base with green and rice. This location has a lot of seats, wish they had an open sign... we thought it was closed when we arrived.
Came here around 8 on Friday night (The one in Calgary trail location), it was very empty as expected as it was quite late. Ordered the classic with rice ($14.95) and the tropical with noodle ($14.95). I did not expect much as you could easily picture what the tastes like. But I recommend go with rice than noodle as the noodle doesn't absorb the sauce easily and it makes it a little bit flavorless. I consider this as a healthy version of fast food but more on the pricey side. Service - 5/5 Would I come back - 4/5 Would I recommend - 4/5
I tried Splash Poke's Take Home Poke Bake. It's a new item that Splash Poke created during the covid-19 quarantine. It is a great creation! There are currently 4 types you can choose from. This item is basically a poke that you order to take home and then you would broil it in your oven for 3-5 minutes. It is a warm poke and it is absolutely delicious. The dish comes in a oven safe tin and it has protein with sauce layered over rice. It also comes with some seaweed sheets that you can use to eat the poke with. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Bake and Umami Seafood Bake. My favourite one was the Umami Bake. The Spicy Tuna Bake was just a spicier version of the Umami Bake so I wish I ordered another bake instead because they tasted pretty similar. The tins are a bit small and costs $12.95 each. I ordered from Ubereats so it ended up being around $15 each so it was a bit expensive. Overall my family enjoyed the poke bakes and I would order it again. read more

I my fair share of Poke, and my wife and I were both craving some. Sure enough, we were reminded of the giant sign on Calgary trail which we frequently pass. So we decided to give it a try, this location seems to be the new location as they have another location downtown (not a fan of going downtown as there's not often a lot of parking readily available or conveniently located). In any event, we were pleasantly greeted by the friendly staff. The place wasn't empty but wasn't packed on a late afternoon/early evening on Saturday night. We ordered the Classic and the Tropical as we didn't really want to fuss with creating our own (I'll probably try that next time I go). It was a great choice because the combination of everything in the "preset" bowls were so delicious. The fish was fresh, and well basically all of it was fresh. Probably some of the best poke bowls we've had in Edmonton that I can remember and I definitely will recommend this place to all my friends and anyone else for that matter. The only people I won't recommend this to is if raw fish isn't your thing, other than those people I highly suggest this for everyone. It was also reasonably priced, with the two of us getting bowls for just under $30. It's a win in my books. read more
