    Tuna
    TJ R.

    My son and I were in the area and the weather called for a picnic and we saw poke calling for us. Steve's Poké Bar is conveniently located in a strip mall. Ample parking. We arrived shortly after opening and the really helpful staff member was already filling an order. We asked a few questions about what was popular and he had 2 great suggestions for us. We got one of each. The spicy salmon and the Tuna. The names are really creative, but I forgot. He made the bowls look beautiful and delicious. We noticed how fresh and clean the place felt. The ingredients looked nice. We gave our bowls 2.5 - 3/5 stars. They were OK. Tasted a little fishy. If you've read my reviews you know we love seafood and fish is often a go-to. I am not sure if it was the seaweed or the Tuna. Hopefully, it was a one-off The 4/5 star reflects the service and the establishment as a whole.

    We went to Steve's to get poke but there was a sign outside that stated no in person ordering. So we hopped on the app it stated to download and ordered our food. This wasn't the first time we've been here and it won't be the last. It's an excellent reminder of Hawaii. The only thing I would say is don't let your food sit for more than 15-20 mins before you eat. It starts to get a bit stale.

    A very clean and bright location. There was no wait and were helped very quickly. Would come back again.

    Love this place! The staff is super friendly and so helpful. They gave me samples of each of their poke, which made me get more fish! It definitely showed me how confident they are in the fresh fish and recipes. The poke was so amazing I didn't mix my ingredients up and enjoyed their flavors on the fish. Unlike other places where they flood your bowl with cover up sauces this place is fresh and delicious!!! I had the spicy tuna, shoyu tuna and spicy salmon. After my trip to Hawaii I couldn't stand tuna on the mainland but Steve's restores my faith!!!

    The food was great and the flavour was very unique. We had a 50% coupon so I'm not sure if this is reflective of regular priced items... the food was decently sized but the scoops of fish were so small. It was the smallest portion of fish I've ever had compared to all the other poke places I've tried. We even paid an extra $2.50 for an extra scoop but to be honest you're better off getting sushi with that money considering how little it came with. I had pineapple in my bowl and it didn't taste very fresh, tasted like the canned pineapple and was really mushy. The sauce was yummy but so little was given in our bowl even though we customized it with all 5 sauces. Okay experience overall but very disappointed with the amount of fish it came with. Wouldnt recommend if you were to pay regular price here.

    Finally a Poké bar in Surrey!! Ordered the large bowl (2 scoops $13.25) with unlimited toppings ( + premium toppings extra charge). You only get a choice between spicy mayo or shoyu sauce for the raw fish, so I hope to see more sauce options in the future! Extra bottles of Shoyu, Ponzu, and spicy mayo on the side if you like it saucyyyy The simple concept of fresh fish and typical Poké toppings arriving to Guildford Surrey, I cannot complain. #cravingssatisfied Thanks Steve and fam!

    Finally, poke has arrived in the north part of Surrey! The other poke place that I know of is Island Cafe in Grandview Corners located in south Surrey. I assume we were greeted by Steve. He was energetic with the Hawaiian flare and allowed a number of us to try all the poke selection available. We sampled 6 different marinated flavours of the day consisting of tuna, salmon and scallops. We decided to create our own bowls with two scoops of poke on rice. You are allowed to mix and match the scoops of poke. There was a selection of free and additional charge toppings to choose from and then there is a sauce station to dress up your bowl some more.

    Great service at the Surrey branch. The amount of food is deceptively large and the price is great!

    It is one of the hardest restaurant to make a reservation. Luckily, I got a reservation 7-8months…read moreago. Menu: Chawan mushi - steamed egg custard with vegetable(bean, shimeji mushroom) and seafood(shrimp and slice of fish) Ankimo - Monkfish Liver with seasonal seafood(scallop and shrimp) Grilled black cod, with saikyo miso and marinated blue fin tuna and cooked egg. Tenpura - seafood (slice of fish, seafood stuffed vegetable and vegetable(shiitake) 9 pieces of sushi Daily miso soup - clam Dessert - kinako and mitarashi dango Chawan mushi was great. I can taste fish based broth and egg custard was very silky and smooth. Decent amount of ingredients sush as shrimp, slice of fish , bean and shimeji mushroom. I wish they served it slightly cooler than too hot. Ankimo - Great item. Monkfish liver was rich and paired with scallop and shrimp so well. Sauce was just ok. Grilled black cod was another great item. Crispy and juicy, just perfectly done. Blue fine tuna was covered by salty marinated sauce which was great when wrapped with seaweed. Cooked egg was just ok Tenpura - Seafood stuffed vegetable was my favorite. Others were also decent. Highlight and stand out item was 9 pieces of sushi. Honmaguro(bluefine tuna) was good. Shari(sushi rice) was nicely seasoned with vinegar, very mild and which I liked it. Tuna was delicious. Sea breem(MADAI) was another good piece. Delicious. Aburi Toro was nicely seared. I wish this item could be a bit more softer and buttery, but it was still good. Akaebi(red shrimp) and Hokkaido sea urchin - Lightly torched the top of sea urchin and its smokiness brought out more sweetness flavor of Akaebi(red shrimp) Hokkaido Scallop - Very smooth, soft and nice texture. Delicious. Kinmedai(Gold eye snapper) -- My favorite. Texture was very soft and chewy, It was great item. Hokkaido sea urchin - Actually, this one was just ok. I wish it could be more creamy. Unagi - One of the best item. It was so fluffy and soft right after chef cooked and served. This is a must try item. Daily miso soup with clam - I can taste fish broth (dashi) flavor so well. Clam was delicious. It was good. Dessert - Kinako coated mitarashi dango -It was nicely chewy and soft. I wish there were more sauce on it. Overall, it worth visiting this place. The only problem is that so hard to get a reservation. Hopefully, I can get next reservation, may be next year.

    Small, authentic spot offering delicious and fresh omakase. Make sure you book early though as they…read morehave a long wait. We love Japanese cuisine so I decided to surprise the hubby with an omakase for his birthday in January. Unfortunately, they have a 6-month wait and I was not prepared so I ended up booking it for our anniversary in May. The food was phenomenal and delicious! I love the chawanmushi loaded with goodies inside. The ankimo (monkfish liver) dish was so tasty with the scallop and prawn. Black cod was cooked to perfection! The nigiris are all so fresh. We quickly put ourselves on the waiting list for after September so we can come here again soon! There's a parking lot just next door. The place inside is small and intimate. Service is great!
