In my experience, the food here is the fresher of the two poke places on Saint-Viateur (& the first one to open). Good work!

Disappointing…

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.

Très bon poke! Je suggère plus de le prendre à emporter que sur place. Cependant il y a un espace avec table pour manger, vous n'aurez juste pas de service.
