Pokai comes across as a welcoming and cozy spot where poke bowls and banh mi are consistently fresh and flavorful, with generous portions and solid value. The ambiance is relaxed and beachy, with warm wood accents that make it easy to study, chat with friends, or grab a quick bite. Service is repeatedly praised for speed and friendliness, with the staff and the overall vibe described as welcoming. The menu highlights salmon poke bowls and banh mi, along with shrimp tempura rolls, earning many mentions as standouts, and many reviewers call the banh mi one of the best in Montreal. A rare note of disappointment mentions a grilled chicken bowl where the vegetables were not fresh and the marinade tasted off. Overall, Pokai is regarded as a top choice for poke and banh mi in Montreal, offering tasty, fresh food at fair prices and an atmosphere that keeps people coming back for both quick lunches and longer hangouts with friends.
The best poke ever! Also I really like the cozy mood, the songs, & the owner of this place. He is always so nice. That's why I decided to visit here again on my last day in Montreal, & I didn't regret it. We had a meaningful conversation & I wouldn't forget it wherever I am. Good luck & hope you stay healthy. I'll miss you & the poke. Thank you for everything! ✨
Très belle accueil de la part du propriétaire & très souriant. Une très belle approche avec la clientèle. Le service était parfait & très rapide. Le poker bol était super bon & le saumon plus que frais. Je le recommande à tout le monde.
I have tried many Poke, even the once at LA where is all started. This is so far the best Poke I ever had. It's fresh, it's all balanced, & the sauce he added is just the right amount! Salmon & grill chicken were great. & the service from the chef was second to none. Love this place.
I love both sandwich or poke bowl. Everything is well prepared with fresh ingredients & the taste is delicious. The owner is very nice & prepared a sample of the fish to taste it before choosing the protein for the poke bowl. I highly recommend them for the good food & courtesy.
Excellent service & absolutely delicious dishes can be found in here. The owners was very kind to let me inside the kitchen to watch the preparation of my Poke bowls. Everything was fresh & clean. I just love the vibes of this place. Highly recommended for a quick bite to rat or grab & go. Their prices are equivalent to what they serve, I would definitely come back here again.

Très beau & bon petit restaurant, c'est la troisième fois, que j'y mange & c'est toujours aussi bon. Le poke bol aux crevettes grillés est super bon & en plus, j'ai eut le droit à une soupe miso & une tasse de thé inclus.
Meilleur poke de Montréal & surtout le meilleur service que j'ai eu. Le propriétaire (je crois) est super gentil & accueillant! Ça me donne tout le temps envie d'y aller grâce à ça :)
Excellente expérience, l'accueil est très chaleureux & les plats sont vraiment bon ! Le spring roll est gros & bien frais, & j'ai pris un poke Thon & Saumon, sûrement le meilleur que j'ai eu l'occasion de manger.
