Reviews describe Poke Bento as a hidden gem with very fresh sushi and affordable, consistent poke bowls and bento options. The restaurant is praised for quick service, friendly staff, and good value, with many noting strong hits like the chicken katsu poke bowl and crab poke bowl, as well as satisfying sushi assortments in combo meals. Some remarks point out variability in poke bowls, with occasional missing ingredients or imbalanced portions, and a few dishes such as certain salmon bowls not recommended. Delivery apps and direct ordering are used, with promos and occasional freebies that add value. Overall, customers appreciate the location, quality, and price, and many say they will return.
Probably the best value in sushi combos in Montreal. While the quality is not the last word in sushis, the maki ingredients are fresh & abundant. Enough for a crave vs a spoil.
If they could improve the quality of their rice (more granular, less'wet' & overcook plz!), they could easily rise above other spots.
I've seen sanitary issue on other reviews but I have not yet encountered such issues over multiple orders.
We found this resto through a food-delivery app. We are glad we did as the resto is located in a very-unassuming location many would not notice walking by. We ordered the 18 piece sushis combo (chef's choice), gyoza, & shrimp tempura. Despite being a poke resto first & foremost, the quality of the sushis was great. Unlike the other sushi resto we ate at just a block away from here, the chef clearly took his time in wrapping the ingredients & rolls neatly & cutting evenly. The assortment of sushis in the combo was also a fantastic mix. This place is a gem & we definitely will be coming back.
Honestly one of my favorite places to go & grab some sushi since it's so close to the metro before I have to run to work. While I don't have a picture of the bentos we normally get, my husband & brother love them as well.
The food was amazing when it was first opened. We ordered Chicken Katsu poke bowl & crab poke bowl. The chicken Katsu one has a lot of rice & a lot of salad & have at least 8 pieces of chicken. But while the fried chicken tastes decent, it has a thick crust & very thin layer of chicken…😅 & the poke bowl I assume it is supposed to have a lot of ingredients other than rice, salad & chicken but other than these 3 main ingredients it has very little of everything else… very little carrot & no seaweed, etc. Kind of underwhelming.
I will be the first to admit that I got the chicken poke bowl on a discount for 7$ plus tax but I assume the quality would
be higher.
The crab bowl, Im told it was above average & quite good.
I do not recommend ordering salmon poke bowl / bento here & also do not recommend salmon flambé poke bowl / bento, we had a bad experience with it before, as other customers had written in their review. That's the reason we have not come here for a little while.
In fact, I would say it's their food it's a hit or miss. Sometimes it's very good… sometimes their poke bowl has rice, salad & the ingredient (protein) you ordered & little to none of anything else. In other places, it has carrot, beans, corn, some fruit such as pineapple pieces, etc. Im just being honest.
If you like to try them out, I recommend you either order through uber eats or Fantuan so you get a small discount on your order. Alternatively, you can order through their website & if you do, as you see in my pictures, it appears you get a free drink or a free appetizer if you order directly through them & spend 15$ or above before taxes.
