the food portion is very massive ! i would highly recommend if you have a big appetite . Also the place gives a warm & comfy atmosphere . the staff greats you in with a welcoming
smile as well. The fish is also very fresh & you can can taste it
Had to come back all the way from Toronto. Best poke spot in Montreal for sure!!
Best poke shop I've been too, the portions are really generous & delicious & the price is way better than then other places I've been too. The staff were really nice & friendly, especially Kristine who made the bowl. I RECOMMEND 12/10 place.
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.
Excellent place to eat a delicious poke. Good variations & great prices. 5/5 imo
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.
I order pretty regularly from Poke Island, & I usually love it but recently the salmon in the salmon poke bowl is super different. It is cut into much bigger pieces, instead of the smaller size that it was previously. The smaller size pieces were much better! I hope to keep ordering in the future when the salmon pieces are smaller.
