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.

Delicious Vietnamese Flavours at a Great Price

I had a fantastic experience at Pokai! I tried the bánh mì & the poke bowl, & both were fresh, flavourful, & generously portioned.

The bánh mì was everything it should be-crispy baguette, savoury fillings, fresh herbs, & just the right balance of pickled crunch & spice. The poke bowl, though more of a modern twist, was equally impressive-fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, & super satisfying.

What really stood out was the excellent value. For the quality & portion size, the prices are more than fair-making this spot a go-to for both taste & budget.

The service was friendly, & the vibe of the place was relaxed & welcoming. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a casual meal, Pokai is a great choice.

Highly recommended-I'll definitely be coming back!

First time I tried banh mi today, & it was amazing! The pork banh mi is absolutely delicious. When you come into this restaurant, they treat you like family. The atmosphere is soft & cozy. Highly recommend!

Quelle belle découverte sur le chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges. L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse avec ses grandes tables en bois naturel.

Tout ce que nous avons goûté était d'une fraîcheur exemplaire. Le bol avec les crevettes grillées & les cubes de saumon était parfaitement assaisonné. J'ai aussi adoré les rouleaux de printemps, servis avec une trempette savoureuse & présentés avec beaucoup de soin.

C'est devenu mon nouvel arrêt préféré dans le quartier pour manger sainement & rapidement. Je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui cherchent de la qualité.
