Le Poké Station

Opens Tomorrow at 11 am

(61)

Laval-Ouest

Poke Bowl Japanese Hawaiian Salads Asian Gluten-free Options

Mentioned in: Montreal Poke Bowls: 18 Restaurants for the Best Hawaiian Bowls

Review Summary

Le Poké Station draws mixed reviews across its locations, with some diners praising fresh ingredients, quick preparation, and plentiful takeout options, while others report disappointing experiences such as smaller portions for the same price, minimal toppings like barely any salmon, and soggy or unfresh items such as edamame and onions. Service quality also varies, with some branches receiving cold or unprofessional phone interactions and inconsistent courtesy, while other visits describe friendly, attentive staff and more generous service. In the Laval location, portions were noticeably smaller and the price remained the same, and some bowls felt skimpy on quantity and variety, which affected perceived value; at times the tuna was described as low quality with membranes and older vegetables. A few reviewers note improvements in freshness and speed, and some still consider Le Poké Station a favorite take-out option, though several comments call for more generous portions and consistency to match the expectations set by other branches.View restaurant profile
