About

Pokai specializes in the art of the poke bowl by harmonizing fresh marine proteins with a diverse array of vibrant vegetables and house-made sauces. Each assembly focuses on textural contrast, pairing succulent raw fish with crisp seaweed, crunchy edamame, and perfectly seasoned sushi rice. Beyond the classic bowl, the menu incorporates modern sandwich interpretations that bridge traditional Asian flavors with handheld convenience. Quality remains the primary objective, ensuring that every layer of the dish contributes to a cohesive and refreshing profile. Patrons encounter a methodical approach to ingredient preparation where the brightness of citrus components cuts through savory umami foundations. This establishment maintains a rigorous standard for seafood freshness, providing a distinct culinary experience that highlights the inherent simplicity and versatility of contemporary Hawaiian-inspired bowl craft.

First time trying this place thanks to a very good friend of mines. If you're in the CDN area, please visit this place, highly recommend.😁

We order the tempura shrimp Poke Bowl & Salmon Poke bowl, both were very delicious & refreshing. The size of shrimp tempura were generous.👍

The owner & staff were very welcoming & friendly. When they ask of our preference of spice level, they gave us the right amount.😄

The atmosphere was very cozy & relaxing. Great place to have lunch or go with friends. It reminds me of being in a beach hut. 🏖?

We'll definitely come back again during the summer.😊

I love this place! I walked in to the warmest welcome & service. I love the decor, gave me relaxed surfer vibes. The salmon poke bowl was so fresh & delicious. I love the sauce they use. So many places are all about the mayo (& I love a good mayo), but this place had to most delicious soy style sauce & I was in heaven! It's easily my number one spot for poke now. I can't wait to go back. You gotta try this place!

I had the salmon poke bowl & it was the BEST poke bowl I've ever had! Also, a perfect option for people with gluten intolerance! The ingredients are high quality, fresh, delicious, & the sauce he used in the poke bowl was unlike anything I've had before. Everything was very thoughtful, from the atmosphere & decor in the shop to the food itself. The owner is also a friendly & lovely person! This place is a CDN must-visit!

Such a nice, quaint shop which will make you think you're in the middle of a street market. Some of the poke bowls are gluten friendly & delicious. My coeliac wife & I had the salmon poke & did not regret it. Paired with a comforting hot green thea it was a great experience

Great poke bowl with large portion of fresh salmon. The interior has Beachy / Hawaiian vibes. The owner was extremely friendly & let us watch the Euro Cup on his iPad as we ate. Overall it was an amazing spot to get lunch.

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.
