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.

I got a tuna poke bowl, everything was fresh & tasty. The atmosphere was very calm. I also chitchatted with the owner (he's super nice, even gave me hot tea afterwards).

Stopped in for a quick & tasty Báhn Mì (pork special.) Bun was crisp & fresh, filling nicely balanced. Friendly staff. Quick service. The interior is punctuated with random Asian & beach themed decor, touches of corrugated metal cladding, wood, & simple high bar stools, it is clean & comfortable, reminiscent of a beach hut or easy shop stand. tip: no fresh chilis were added into my sandwich but their really delicious housemade spicy hot sauce made up for that in spades! A little goes a long way & my mouth is watering thinking of it - if you do enjoy some heat, don't forget to ask for it!

Never had a poke bowl before & was genuinely impressed by how tasty it was. Just happened to find this place on a win as we were in the area touring St Joseph's oratory. We were looking for a quick bite to eat & decided to try something new to us, & it was well worth it. The flavors were great portion sizes were very good. We let the staff know that this was our first time at the establishment & having this type of food, & they answered all our questions & helped us out with what to get. We ended up getting the bowl & a bahn mi sandwich. Definitely will keep this saved on Google Maps for the next time we are in Montreal.

Amazing experience. Very tasty & healthy bowls & sandwiches. Super clean & harmonious ambience. Good & soft music. The owner was super kind & very light. Its a good choice to add before going to La Maison de la Culture!
