This was hands down the best poké!!! Awesome service, super fresh fish, great sauces and flavours! Loved it even more than the ones I had in Maui!!! Absolutely no "fishy" taste here! Can't recommend it enough, if you're in Gastown this shop is a MUST! ��
I lived in Honolulu Hawaii for 12 years and have eaten my share of poke. I love the stuff. Poke Shop really surprised me, the ahi and spicy salmon were on point. They offer way more toppings than you'd find in Hawaii. The rice was great too, warm, slightly sticky and onolicious as we say in the island. Big mahalo to Poke Shop for making me feel like I was back in Hawaii. �
Come here if you like fresh food and great service. The owner treats every customer like family. The quality of the ingredients here are simply top notch. The toppings are unlimited so load up on all your nutrients and leave feeling full and fresh.
Meal: I ordered the Hawaiian Themed Bowl which has like spicy salmon and spicy scallops but it wasn't really that spicy. . Service: Staff was friendly, they gave me a free scoop of guac. Atmosphere: SO HOT. Serious sauna in here where I took a moment and asked myself, it's so hot in here, is the fish safe to eat. Apparently, they will be putting in air conditioning next year but it's seriously unbearable.
I figured that it was about time that I get on the bandwagon since the poke bowl storm swooped across the Vancouver food scene. I liked that there were so many options for bases here! I mean you get to choose from white rice, mixed greens, zoodles and purple rice! I couldn't decide between the zoodles or purple grain but I decided to go with the purple grain since I was feeling hungry that day. They also have lots of protein options which was super awesome. Of course, I had to go for the sashimi type options so naturally, I went with the ahi tuna and spicy baby scallops. Last but not least, I got mine topped with all sorts of wonderful toppings like green onion, red radish, beets, pineapple, watermelon, mango and pickled ginger :) My favorite part about poke bowl was the variety of options! Definitely worth the visit!
Fresh food. Protein well seasoned and tasty. Regular size good enough for lunch or big snack. Well decorated and good ambiance. A bit pricy at $12.95 for a regular size but a lot of that can be attributed to the fish cost.
First time trying Poké in Vancouver. I've perviously tried it in Hawaii, where I quite enjoyed it. The Poke Shop lets you customize your own poke bowl with a base, two or three proteins, sauce and a wide variety of toppings. My favourite proteins were the ahi tuna and spicy albacore tuna. My favourite toppings to get were the mango and pineapple, which went great with the tuna. This combo gave a great Hawaiian flavour. Only problem I have with this place is that is a bit pricey and left me a little hungry afterwards. Definitely will go around Vancouver to try the other poke places.
I have been missing Hawaii ever since I left a month ago. When I heard that The Poke Shop serves up a little slice of Hawaii, I had to pay a visit. I only tried poke once in Hawaii and was hooked. Poke was literally available everywhere in Hawaii, even in the supermarkets. . With so many poke shops popping up around town, how does this one fare? With 20 seats, this shop is actually quite a good size. The idea here is simple, it’s a made to order build it your own bowl style with base, protein, loads of toppings and sauce. They also have four signature items for those who can’t decide.
Given that we couldn't get our proper fill of calories at the Gluten-free Expo, we resorted to eating elsewhere for lunch (one cannot subsist off of samples alone.). Having tried two poké shops in the past month alone (The Poké Guy and Poké Time) I was keen on seeing how the Poké Shop would stack up.
Our last attempt at coming here was foiled in that they were closed for the day (despite it being a Saturday.) We held our breathe as we made the short walk from Canada Place, pleading that they would be open (we weren't feeling brunch that day.)
One thing that was readily apparent was that they seemed to be quite stingy with their proteins (compared to the Poké Guy) and made up for that fact by piling your bowl with filler ingredients (in the form of carb-heavy rice and unlimited toppings.) We found the fish at the Poké Guy to be better marinated, but appreciated their usage of organic ingredients (in the form of organic 12 grain purple rice, organic mixed greens, and organic grilled chicken.)

Thanks to Naomi of Constant Cravings, a group of bloggers and I were invited to one of the newest poke shop in Vancouver. The Poke Shop is located in Gastown, but quite hidden as you must go down some stairs next to Water Street Cafe. Poke is great for take out but The Poke Shop also has decent amount of seating so that you can dine in.
The restaurant is located at GasTown. The location is not very easy for people to find it. But, the food there are Very great and health. You can make your own food bowls. The prices are cheaper too. It's a good experience to try Hawaiian Food ❤
Poke bowls are popping up everywhere in Vancouver now! When they first started to appear, I wasn’t sure what the hype was about. But now, I’ve grown an inkling to poke bowls because they are a healthy and filling alternative. So far, I’ve only tried two poke places in the city. The second place I tried was The Poke Shop, which opened a few weeks ago. It is located in Gastown, just by the steam clock.
