Westcoast Poke is my go-to poke spot near Cambie and Broadway. The food is delicious and fresh, however, the portions are a little bit small. The restaurant provides quick service, and even though it's small, they make efficient use of space, so I've never encountered a scenario where there isn't enough seating. Make sure you check out their deals - there is a different poke bowl on sale each day of the week. The Coast poke is my go-to bowl. read more

Westcoast Poke - Coast poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The two poke bowls I ordered were mind blowing. Very Fresh. Very flavorful. Very well done fish. Amazing sauces. They have some pee made combinations and they are too good. I did a take out so service was quick. It is extremely clean and nice. Very well located on a main road and easily accessible. read more

Super tiny portion. We are talking 1 ice cream scoop of chopped salmon and in that was mixed with chopped onions. Brown rice was sooooo undercooked it was raw. There's Asian cooked (fuzzy rice cookers) and Caucasian cooked (pot and water on stove). This was way worse. It was just raw. At least with pot and water on stove it was cooked if not loose and not very tacky. But this. Was on par with quinoa in texture the rice was raw, crumbly, hard and because of that unable to absorb any flavours. The fish was okay. But I definitely preferred the other place I tried last day. Steve's poke bar (my only complaint there was we cannot indicate sauce on the side and opted for sesame oil only and it ended up they forgot to put or put so little it did not taste of it) but their fish was way better. The bowl didn't go. The flavours. They don't go. They don't flow. They don't feel refreshing to eat a light meal. And the crab meat was slightly WARMER than everything else. (Even the rice) (maybe just a preference? I like my shredded crab meat cold) I definitely did not want the jalapeños but on door dash no way to indicate you don't want it. And I did not like the amount of sauce they put. The sauce was nice. Just wish it was on the side. In a container. And I can mix it in myself. Overall. Value wise? I got mine at free dash pass 1 year compliment of amazon, so no fees, and I got 50% off any order over $15 so this bowl was $20 I paid $10. $11 with tax If I had paid $20 I'd be pretty upset. Especially with the raw rice. But for $10 okey fine . I give this bowl a 3/10 (3 points for presentation, freshness, and accuracy of ingredients requested) I've included a colorful bowl picture from Steve's for you to compare what I mean by flow of colors and refreshing. I labeled it Steve's. Same price! 30% more food, and the colors all pop and look so amazing. read more

I visited here back in late August and wanted Poke so bad, so I really had to go t Westcoast Poke. WP was a pleasant surprise for me since it's the only place with daily specials. I love salmon sashimi so much to see Cascade for Monday's special. Not only I had this for medium for $11.95, it came with free Miso soup using Yelp check in. This place was busy during lunch, but waiting wasn't long. Price and portion was pretty good. Food was fresh and delicious packed with flavours. Staff did a wonderful job packing my bag into a paper bag. I didn't find any leaks after taking this home. Love their atmosphere and the daily specials they turn me on! read more

I was quite shocked with my order. I have had Poke bowls delivered many times from various places around Vancouver and this one was extremely disappointing. I ordered a Cascade Poke Bowl with no crab salad and replaced the rice with spring Mix. The portion is what I would considered a side dish to a meal or a snack bowl. Salmon looked like maybe two spoonfuls with onions in it. The fish was mediocre and did not taste as good as some of the other places in town that offer similar options at the same price range. For $15 before tax price, what was given was quite dissatisfying. I contacted the location to check if maybe they were low on supplies. Person that responded my call tried to explain that the portion looked small because of the spring mix being pressed down by the weight of the salmon. Apparently I am not the first one to say something and they are not willing to come up with a solution, so i would discourage anyone from ordering food here for now. I ended up ordering something else from another place as this was really not even a little bit filling. read more

Thanks to Westcoast Poke for an instagram giveaway, I was able to try two of their signature bowls along with two of their signature drinks. Asking for the most popular, I went with the Pacific and the Coast bowl. Both were different in their own way with Pacific being a bit lighter and the Coast being spicy but equally delicious. They do not skimp on the portion sizes either, as the proteins AND toppings were more than enough for the bed of rice underneath. The service was also really efficient and kind, letting me swap out one of the toppings and also giving me a few minutes to take some pictures before putting lidding them. I liked the Coast more because I am a salmon girl and spicy is my jam, but you can't go wrong with either of these bowls! They have daily specials right now so its a great time to visit! read more

For the past year, my friends and I order from this place on our weekly movie nights. For months (maybe 4) their ordering system was "broken" as in it didn't let you add all the toppings it used to let you add. So I gave it 4 stars. But it's now fixed!!! The good deal about this place is the options and the number of really good toppings you can add (e.g., kimchi Cucumber, maple soy, miso ginger, gochukaru garlic, fresh mango...). You can chose Salad, or rice, or both as a base. I recommend getting a small build your own box, then add the avocado for $1, and add an extra topping for $1-2. That way you get the equivalent of a medium box, but with more protein than carbs! It's a good filling portion too. read more

We came in to grab a poke bowl to-go I had a voucher from Eventbrite: snack size poke bowl with drink for $8.00 I got the Smoke bowl. This bowl has japalenos and Thai chilles for those who like a good kick. The burnt miso was lost in here though They mix the sauces to order and the tuna tastes fresh. The bowl still tasted fresh after a 20min car ride The snack size was perfect for lunch so I guess a regular order will be good for dinner The lemon and ginger mint tea tasted pretty good The staff member didn't seem to be paying attention during our time there. The restaurant was empty and he got our base order wrong, but he was happy to make it right read more

Poke is for sure something I never get tired of eating! I love the variety and that's exactly what westcoast poke offers! My favorite protein to pick here is the salmon and prawns! The prawns were not the tiny little shrimp but actually nice chopped pieces of fresh plump prawns! Service is quick and friendly as usual. They currently do not offer dine in but poke are great for take out anyways to dine at a nice park, beach or comfort of your car these days! read more

Westcoast Poke - two bowls of food on a table - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

An improvement from last time for sure. Good quality poke place but it's quite pricey. $22 for a 'large' that was more like a small sized bowl is a bit of a stretch. It was basically the size of my hand. The rice is not sushi rice unlike other places but regular rice. If it is that expensive I would expect sushi rice. Decent amount of toppings but not enough sauce so it got pretty dry after a few bites. I like how they have pea shoots as an option which is super rare at poke places. The chicken was tender and the salmon was good quality (I added $2 for sockeye). I ordered miso ginger soy sauce and gochujang aioli but I seem to have got only the aioli, though that by itself was tasty. If you have the money to spend go ahead but I don't think this can be a regular for me. Still it was an enjoyable meal nonetheless. read more

We won an Instagram giveaway so we checked this place out. We haven't had poke in a while, so this was a nice meal! We tried a custom bowl (we asked a staff member what they would make for themself) and it was delicious. We got the Coast, but with aburi salmon. They have a plant-based tuna, so I'm excited to give that a try the next time we come back! The food is pretty standard poke (which is still a good thing) but the staff definitely elevate this spot! read more

Westcoast is just down the street from my office, so it was only a matter of time before I ordered lunch there. Fast track three months later, poke has become one of my top 5 fav foods, and I've gone on to partake of nearly every other poke place in the city. I'm even noticing it for sale in some grocery stores! The catch? No one does it quite as well as Westcoast. The fresh warm rice, the varied selection of ingredients and toppings - no one's doing it as well. So I stopped eating at the other poke places and pretty much just come here. My favourite is any of the salmon dishes; the tuna dishes are really good too. Each day there is a $10 special of a different signature dish which is amazing if you love variety. On Sundays you can pick from any of the main signatures for $10! One of the best deals in Vancouver for something that is delicious, healthy, quick, and difficult to make at home. I also love the crab salad, and the Lychee Lemonade is refreshing on a hot day. read more

When you find a consistently solid lunch place close to your office, it's an absolute delight to visit and enjoy frequently! My go-to order is the Coast. The Atlantic salmon goes great with the crab salad that's included. Most times I order the regular size, but I will admit that on a few occasions I've ordered the large size for when I skip breakfast. They have a website where I can order ahead so it's ready when I arrive. They also recently started offering sodas (my bad habit) so that helps save me a trip to the supermarket down the block. read more

Pleasant surprise considering my previous experience with poke in Vancouver (see my review of Poke Corner). Came with a friend for Friday lunch (just after 12) -- liked the storefront, the clean interior, the semi-busyness (with seats readily available but not eerily empty). Got a Regular with half brown rice half greens, albacore tuna, and pretty much all the sides & toppings that didn't cost extra. Was happy with the portions of things given (including the fish, believe it or not), and taste was pretty decent as well -- basically no complaints. Why I took off a star: - no wifi (although I didn't ask) - my friend had to circle around for 20min to find parking (to be expected of the area) - missing the cheapness of Californian poke! ($13.50 vs. 6-8 USD for similar portions... but it's an unfair comparison, I know) read more

Swung by this place after work today. The space has a very hipster vibe to it, with minimalistic furniture, high ceilings, and hanging lights. The bar was a tiny counter at the back of store - I'm assuming this must make it a little difficult to serve many people quickly when it gets crowded. We each ordered a Regular size Poké bowl with salmon, and chose to build our own bowls from a variety of different bases, mixers, toppings & sauces. Checking in on Yelp also gave us a free cup of Miso soup each. The protein portion for the Regular size bowl was a little small. The 3oz of protein you're getting probably varies quite a bit on who's scooping, since it wasn't actually weighed out or anything. The food looked and tasted pretty fresh. There was a decent variety of bases, toppings etc to choose from. Quite a handful of the options cost a few extra dollars here and there. The miso soup didn't taste like the standard Japanese miso soup. It was more oily, but also stronger in flavour. Overall, this place is alright for a quick and simple Poké fix. Nothing particularly amazing, but nothing too bad either. read more

So I have not gone to Westcoast Poke for a year and I had a chance to visit last week. But was quite sad to discover that their quality of food tanked quite a bit. The portion was a lot smaller and the "forbidden black" rice which I paid an extra for was pretty horrible. It was old, hard and tough to chew. I cook and eat forbidden black rice myself at home so I know what it tastes like when you cook it right. Disappointed and sad but I won't be back here again tho since the price is still the same or higher when the quality is way way lower now. read more

Westcoast Poke - I just checked in and eating this feature bowl. You should get here asap to taste this. Soooooo gooood! - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Seems like there is constantly new poke places opening up here so decided to give this spot a try... It got good reviews and near to where we were so why not. It had a steady stream of people coming in too. Besides a few set bowl combos and build your own bowl option, they have a fresh sheet that appears to rotate per day... From base to protein options... That was a unique touch. I was curious so had the spicy garlic ahi negitori and that was just ok and the ahi used for that was pretty stringy. It wasn't worth an extra $3. When building the bowl, I found it odd that the server seemed to not know what components went into the bowl and had to consistently ask his coworker or look at the wall to know .. Lol... So service ended up being pretty slow... And led to a line up in ordering behind us. And portion scoop sizes were pretty small as well so it ended up not being a very full bowl. It is a nice touch to have a free drink or soup with a yelp check in, but when we went they were out of horchata (kinda strange at a poke place?) and one of their soups... I got the boysenberry soursop drink - I thought he was giving me a taste but he ended up pouring me a whole cup... and it was not very good... but it was at least free. They also had four other sauces you could add if you wanted an extra kick. I liked the pineapple mango habanero one... The space is clean and had one long communal table to sit in. Servers were friendly for the most part but food wise, I felt it pretty mediocre. read more

Westcoast Poke - I don't know entirely what this is, since I just asked for whatever. - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Another poké place opened up, this time outside downtown. It is nestled along other small shops along W. 8th so you may miss it. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. There are a lot of variety for mix and toppings. They have 3 options for protein: snack is 2 scoop, regular is 3 scoop and large is 5 scoop. I had the regular bowl. What I had: Brown rice as base Salmon & tuna as protein. Jalapeño, sweet onion, chilli flakes, cucumber kimchi, & red onion as mix. Seaweed salad, crab salad, mango, masago, radish and sesame seeds as toppings. They make some of their own sauces which are great too. There is one long table that can fit about 12 ppl. The place is bright and modern. For an extra cost, you can get ahi tuna, sockeye salmon and avocado. I'd definitely come back. read more

Totally recommended and I am going to keep getting it! read more

I came here to buy lunch waiting for 25 mins to place an order. There was a few servers. One was a cashier to collect money. One took orders starting with getting the fish and other ingredients. One picked up other ingredients and mixed them all up. A fourth one was helping out. It took a while that customers ordered the food one by one. It was extremely slow and not efficient at all. Probably the kitchen or food counter is smaller that all servers squeezed in together and got food for customers at the same time. It was tough for them as well. Anyhow, I was not enjoying the waiting part of this eating experience at all. Wasted 25 mins of my lunch hour.... not impressive... I ordered a regular poke with tuna (pacific on the menu). Regular portion had three scoops of meat or fish. It was good. I got to choose the base (e.g. salad, rice, brown rice and etc.). I ordered brown rice. The dish was supposed to have certain ingredients, but I forgot which ingredient they were running out. I had to ask for green seaweeds to replace them. So sad. It was the busy hours that the restaurant would not have enough ingredients on hand in order to prepare for the customers. Anyway, I mixed all the ingredients in the bowl before eating. I ate the whole bowl as I was very hungry after the long wait. I liked the dish because of the sauces. I had a better poke in downtown. Overall, the eating experience here was not great unless they have shorten the wait time, improved the customer service, ensured there would be enough ingredients to cover the busy hours or orders, and provided fresh fish to the public. read more

I was super excited to try them. I had the large (5 scoops of salmon) which came up to $15.45. Ingredients were fresh and it was a great poke bowl. I was however disappointed with the portion size. I actually asked if they mistakenly gave me a regular but they confirmed that it was a large. Based on that, well I wouldn't really go out of my way to try them again as their location isn't very central. It's definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Westcoast Poke - Large bowl (5 scoops of salmon). Looked more like 3 scoops in my opinion. Average portion size. - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ahimi! Every vegan and vegetarian should check out Westcoast Poke at least once. They are the only poke store in the lower mainland to carry ahimi, a delicious substitution for tuna. Aside from being plant based and delicious, it is also sustainable and virtually indistinguishable from tuna after it's tossed up in your choice of sauce (except y'know... No tendons and stingy bits). Expect what one would typically expect from a poke store, except this one has a) free miso soup and b) rotating chef's specials. Service here is friendly and the food was delicious. read more

It's POKE... man! And Westcoast Poke is definitely the place where I gotta EAT 'em all! I came here for the first time with my girlfriends and then I honestly could not wait and had to come the next day again with my boyfriend! The space is really clean and fresh with high top tables and chairs. I love the "I like it Raw" mural. The staff are super friendly and patient while we decided what to order. There are pre-determined poke bowls like the classic Aloha and Cascade but I decided to Build My Own Bowl. I chose a Base of brown rice and salmon as my protein (regular 3 scoops $12.50). I love how you can choose as many Mix-ins as you like - and don't be afraid, I chose scallions, cilantro, sweet onion, cucumber kimchi (omg a MUST) and edamame. Then the staff member mixed it all up with my salmon sashimi and tossed it in a sweet sauce. As for toppings I chose radish, crab salad, seaweed salad, mangoes and extra pea shoots. After a generous drizzle of Miso Ginger Soy sauce, it was finished with masago and taro sticks. I was a little worried that my mis-mash of ingredients would be weird but since I got to choose everything I liked, it was an ultimate bowl of deliciousness that was customized to my taste! Every bite was yum after yum! All of the ingredients were really fresh and it was more than filling! The free Miso Soup that came with my Yelp Check-in (merci beacoup Yelp!) had a drizzle of black garlic sauce which added a special taste to the regular miso soup. Overall, a really great poke stop and I'll definitely be back again to fulfill my poke cravings. read more

I've been meaning to try the poke places near Cambie, finally made it to West coast poke. It's mainly build-your-own bowl kind of poke. I choose a regular size albacore tuna and salmon mix, and a green salad and brown rice base. I'm happy that they promote combinations. The variety of toppings and mix ins are great! The sauces are awesome too. I liked that they didn't have a limit on the toppings/mix ins. However, the service was a tad slow and not as efficient. I felt pressured by the line up that accumulated soon after we ordered. I also wish they were friendlier. Would definitely come back when I'm craving poke. Quality of the ingredients was decent, nothing special on any of the marinated toppings. Decent price for the amounts of mix ins you want, so don't be shy. The minimalistic decor suits the vibe for a quick convenient healthy bite!! read more

As far as poke goes: arguably good, but definitely not the best. I much prefer the Poke Guy downtown and the Poke Shop in Chinatown. Portions are decent, but they could definitely be larger (the portions at the aforementioned places are noticeably larger.) I find them to be more stingy with their proteins too. HOWEVER, flavour wise, I do like it. Try the green coconut curry as your sauce! Does Hooked Poke Bar warrant a revisit? No, because there are better (and more wallet-friendly options) in the city! read more

I've been too lazy to cook lately, so I ordered some poke for dinner last night through DoorDash. I selected the 'Build Your Own Bowl' option, and got a 'regular' bowl (3 scoops of protein) with white rice. I got ahi tuna, albacore tuna, and salmon, went crazy with the mix-ins and toppings, and chose 3 sauces: wasabi aioli, miso ginger soy, and spicy yuzu sriracha aioli. The salmon was a little fishy, but the rest of the proteins were fine. Of the mix-ins and toppings, my favourites were the crab salad, seaweed salad, and fried onion. I can't say much about the sauces because the flavour of the spicy yuzu sriracha aioli basically overpowered the other sauces, but it was tasty. Overall, this is a decent Vancouver poke shop, but unfortunately, I still haven't found anything that's comparable to what I had in Hawaii. read more

I decided to get the regular sized bowl with salmon, crab salad, edamame, pineapples, avocados, seaweed salad, scallions, seaweed and taro chip toppings, wasabi aioli and brown rice. I enjoyed it very much but I didnt like how the rice sort of made my salmon warm. The flavors were very delicious and the staff were so so funny and friendly.

Good food, not so good service. I'm not working there, just paying for my (not inexpensive) food. Don't expect me to know your work flow for food prep. Could be way friendlier in explaining what is included (or not). Clearly amateurs in service industry. Not coming back cuz I don't enjoy being patronized, no matter how good the food might be. Has to be alternatives with better service at this price range. read more

Total rip off. Ordered the "large" size off DoorDash and when it arrived, I couldn't believe how small it was. When I called to see if there had been a mistake, I was told that all sizes come in the SAME SIZE BOWL and that "you basically get the same amount of rice and protein anyway" - so what did I pay an extra $5 for?! It was apparently for more "scoops" of protein, but I got maybe 5 cubes of ahi tuna (that cost an extra $3) at best. In total I paid almost $20 for a poke bowl a little bigger than my palm (and I'm a tiny person). From the photos, it looks like eating-in affords you a bigger bowl so if you come here, go with that. Honestly though, I could name you 5 other poke places that give you twice as much food for almost half the price! read more

This place wasn't anything special. There's only one person working and the wait is long. I got the snack size bowl that started off as $10.95 and it was an additional $2-$3 for the fish (2oz only). Pretty pricey if you ask me. The poke itself was good and fresh but I've been to many, many poke places that are cheaper and quicker service! read more

Poké joints are opening up everywhere in the city. Thankfully, this one is really close to home so it was easy for me to pop in for lunch. The space is white, clean and modern. It's got one long table so beware during peak times if you want a seat. They've got a wall of specials, including a daily feature bowl, iced tea, etc. They have some set bowl combinations as well as a build your own bowl where you pick the protein, sauce and toppings. I like that you can choose white, brown or a daily special rice as your base. Prices range from snack, reg and large. I think the large is the best deal at $15 for 5 scoops. Its a little pricey but for the quality and flavour, I think it's a nice alternative to lunch options in the area. read more

We Stopped by today for lunch and once again this place was great! I had the pacific bowl with white rice and my wife had the sockeye on brown. It's always fresh, full of flavour and fills you up but it's not too heavy. I always feel great after eating here. So many things in the bowl that I love especially the pineapple and ginger. I always get the regular size and that's plenty for me and it doesn't slow me down when I get back to work. If you haven't had a poke bowl yet just get in to this location and fill up, seriously you'll be glad you did. read more

I may change my review after trying more poke, as this is my first time trying poke. Poke is basically a Hawaiian salad and it is quite interesting. I got the feature of the day which is the Sockeye Salmon salad. Super healthy, as you get to customize your own bowl. Ingredients are very very fresh and tons to choose from. Tasty, but also, it is like a mix of flavours. I believe it is priced on the higher end... snack size is $10 and regular is $12, get large for $15. So ur can get expensive really fast as certain ingredients cost more. read more

Westcoast Poke - Sockeye salmon poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My husband and I were looking for something fast and light on the Friday night before we went home. This was exactly what we had in mind. The food itself was really good. It had great combination between the food and the sauces. It had some unique combination of taste and we would go back again if we visit near by in the future. However, I hope the server can be helpful with the menu, because there were quiet a few items on the menu, we did not understand. So my husband and I was looking for some introduction from the servers. But they were not very passionate when it came to answering our questions. At least the food is not bad. read more

Thank you very much for the awesome service and the fantastic food!!

Seems like I'm doing a trend of four star reviews. But maybe I'm being selective on places I like or I know I'll like. This place we had checked out on Yelp before and decided to give it a try. Since it's the latest food trend since spam sushi I know I'm just going to live this place. And it's almost 5 stars! Oooooohh, why not the top notch mark since I gave a Burger King the crown? Well it was my mood then at BK and I was surprised considering I never give them anything that favourable. But why only 4 stars? Ok it's because I'm being finicky. This place is terrific and it gets busy. They have awesome loyal customers too. The staff are young and hip ( cause I'm just an old farty tarty) they're polite. The menu is easy to follow and they have a wall for specials of the day. It is a bit hard to communicate between the safety glass that displays the food items. Especially if you're shorter than the glass wall and end up speaking into it rather than over. So you have to stand back a bit and speak up. Today's lunch was with my favourite JFC (Japanese Food Critique) who has been on the Poke hunt as well. She opened for her own pick and choose items and somehow got confused. I kept telling her to look up at the menu items on the list on the back wall instead of trying to figure what was in the containers and bottles. Once she figured it out she bumbled her way through to her final concocted bowl. I did my Yelp check in and got a free miso soup which was a perfect side for my meal called the Cascade bowl. The Cascade had salmon which I don't know why I ordered it because I'm not a salmon fan of late. Note: for all my Poke dishes I eat in choose the salad/greens mix instead of carbs. The Cascade I think was noted as Gluten Free for those of you who are conscious about that. I did end up giving half my salmon bits to JFC to eat because I'm not really a salmon person. The rest of the dish I did devour. 4.5 for this dish. As for JFC, she's on the hunt for a certain taste which she hasn't found it yet. So our hunt is still on. If I didn't have to travel so far to get here, I'd be here more often. For a vegan option I think it's a bit pricey but for the protein it's about average. They have a recycling/garbage selection in which is nice. The decor is simple and very warm and bright and the place looks very clean and "instagramy". But for me it seemed to just miss one bit of element. Maybe I'm being finicky. Guess I'm like a cat that way. But yes if you haven't tried this food before. This is definitely one of the places you gotta try! And don't forget to "check-in" to this happy little gem :) read more

Yummy! I love Poké and i'm glad it's starting to become a trend in Vancouver. I got the pacific special (which includes albacore tuna, shoyu, cucumber, edamame, scallion, cilantro, crab, pineapple, radish, and a gochu garlic aioli) in the snack size, which was MORE than enough and quite delicious. I often find the problem with Poké is that the rice gets too soggy from the sauce / veggies that are included in the bowl, but the rice stayed perfectly bouncy the whole time. Pineapple was also very fresh and the combination of all of the ingredients was just lovely. The feel of the place was cute and casual. I also tried the house Kombucha, which was very good. I'd come back if I was in the area. read more
