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.

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.

Wow. Meilleur Poké bol sur Côte-des-Neiges! On a accepté de me le faire sans riz avec le sourire & en portion très généreuse. Je suis certaine que tout le reste est aussi excellent. Je n'hésiterai définitivement pas à y retourner pour le confirmer!

Tout est frais & tellement goûteux. Un menu simple mais où tout est parfaitement maîtrisé. Un restaurant rafraîchissant. J'y retrournerai très certainement pour un Banh Mi ou un Poke au saumon.

The owner serves an excellent Hawaii food. Top fresh ingredients, tastes so many on one plate. An must to stop by & enjoy the delicious meal. If you love banh mi, you have to be early. But the bol de poke is absolutely delicious.
