Review Summary

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.

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.
