Hands down one of the best poke spots in Montréal. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, & the quality-to-price ratio is hard to beat. The staff is genuinely friendly & the service shows it. Highly recommended, this place deserves all the love it gets!
I've only ordered from this place through food delivery apps, which I don't usually do if I haven't eaten there before, but I just want to shout out this business because the quality of their poke bowls is amazing. Since that first time i always go for them for pokes.
The quality of the ingredients, the ratios, the flavor, & the way the chicken is cooked - I absolutely loved it!! I really recommend this place, definitely the best poke I've tried in mtl! & the cute detail on the bag doesn't go unnoticed :)
Tried this poke bowl place & it was great . The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, & everything tasted really good. There were lots of options to customize the bowl that was to me in terms of poke like the grilled chicken they also had things like takoyaki which was great & the fish was high quality & flavorful. The staff were friendly & the place was clean & welcoming. Overall, a great spot for a nice poke bowl.

Ordered a Poke bowl on DoorDash for pickup. Got a notification that I was refunded some money because the tuna was not available. I called the store & they confirmed there was Tuna & it was a mistake. When I got to the store, they gave me my order & told me there was no seaweed salad or pineapple. When I asked why they didn't inform me of this on the phone, they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about. Neither did they apologize or take responsibility for it. They just handed me the bag like I was supposed to just be okay with it. I hate to sound entitled but when you spend extra $ for ingredients its because those are important for the bowl… Had I known these ingredients weren't available I would have canceled my order. Also they ran out of these ingredients at 3 pm… I had to ask them for a form of replacement so I got 2 toppings on the side. Mango & edamame. They at least they corrected the situation to a degree.
The food:
Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best.
The Takoyaki were soggy, overly fried & the'island sauce' they have, should not replace Japanese Mayo, in my opinion. Use Kewpie & bonito flakes. It's much better & authentic.
The'baie du thon' bowl itself lacks flavour & quality of some ingredients. To start, the rice was slightly undercooked & just doesn't have the right chew. The sauce was okay & Tuna was good quality. However, there was no purple cabbage. The mango I received was virtually tasteless… Finally they added lettuce like it was a garnish. Maybe 4-5 tiny pieces of iceberg lettuce in there.
I also got egg rolls which were okay. Nothing special.
All in all this was a very disappointing experience since the service was not great & the food did not make up for it. & I paid 45$. I write this review in quite a critical manner for the owners as a source for internal improvements. I have had some of the best Poke in Canada & elsewhere. There is lots of competition & what will set you apart is quality, consistency & good service.
Addicted to this place ! Food Quality, decor, staff. Highly recommend ! I usually get the shark attack, it has everything you need & will fill you up !
"I absolutely loved my experience at this poke bowl spot! The quality of the ingredients is top-notch-everything is fresh, flavorful, & perfectly portioned. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves fresh, high-quality poke!"
I've been a regular customer at this poke restaurant for a few months, often ordering every day. Unfortunately, I've noticed a sharp decline in quality recently. Today, my order was incomplete again, despite adding several extras that were not included. Extras that used to be included are frequently missing, the portions have shrunk by about one & a half times compared to what they were initially, & there's a limited variety of sauces now. This place was once my favorite for poke, but it's become my last choice. I really hope they can bring back the quality & service I used to love.
