Reviews describe Poke Monster as fresh and flavorful with a variety of poke bowls, especially the salmon and tuna options, and a shrimp tartare that many regard as a favorite. Fish is consistently noted as fresh, portions are generous, and sauces complement crisp tempura and well balanced ingredients. Staff are described as friendly, patient, and welcoming, contributing to a warm atmosphere. There are some caveats: a few locations vary in portion size and prep timing, with some bowls appearing pre-made, and a few orders criticized for being too salty or for rice that is overly vinegared or shrimp that is smaller than expected. Overall, the reviews suggest Poke Monster is a solid, healthier option with strong quality and flavor, though experiences can differ by location and order.
Tasty food! My favorite is the spicy salmon poke bowl - super fresh & full of flavor.
Thanks for recommending Avola, definitely worth it. Will come back again!
Amazing service! They were very patient with me deciding what I wanted. The food tasted amazing. There was a right amount of everything in my poke bowl, plus the extra sauce I asked for! Looked so good I didn't take a picture of my food before digging in lol Definitely recommend as a healthier meal aswell! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

Not good at all! It looks so good but it's far from looking like the picture. Last time I took the tartare & they just threw it & now, the poke bowl, it doesn't taste anything, the sauce is disgusting, no tempura, no flavor. It will be my last time there.
J'ai eu une intoxication alimentaire horrible qui a duré 48h après avoir mangé le poke bowl aux crevettes tempura qui était 2 pour 1 sur uber eats. Ils étaient probablement en rabais pour s'en débarrasser rapidement...
Ce n'est pas mauvais en soi : j'ai pris un dynamite poulet. Le poulet était très croustillant mais quasi-gelé (& je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui mange chaud). La sauce est correcte, mayonnaise & sriracha mélangée. Beaucoup de riz & peu de légumes.
C'est un poké bowl correct qui m'a bien soutenu mais je n'ai pas vraiment savouré mon repas.
Le personnel est cependant extrêmement gentil !

Had a wonderful experience at Poker Monstre! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, making the atmosphere welcoming. Everything from the service to the quality of ingredients exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal!
I've tried almost all the locations, including the newly opened ones. For example, this particular shop clearly serves smaller portions - how can a poke bowl priced at $17-18 contain only six shrimp? Another issue with Poke Monster (Châteauguay) is that they prepare the bowls in advance & serve them straight from the fridge.
I can somewhat understand that rent & labour costs are high, but as a customer, getting a large amount of rice & sauce with just six shrimp feels a bit outrageous. Especially since the shrimp aren't even big.
That said, the stores in Montreal are all pretty great.
