I spotted Kona Poke on Instagram and ran right over for lunch today. It was 100% worth the wait! Their prices are pretty reasonable for portion size, especially since you can get scoops of any of their poke proteins for no extra charge (other places charge more for Ahi tuna etc.)
For the same price as a single sushi roll elsewhere (Kabuku/Zen 8/Ki etc.), I had a bowl packed with veggies, rice, ahi tuna and salmon and any toppings I wanted. Everything was super fresh which you can't help but appreciate when you take a gamble on raw fish in the prairies. I really liked that you can customize your poke sauce & you're not limited to just one base or type of protein, so every time you go back you could easily eat a completely different meal.
The staff were super friendly and totally on their game - it wasn't like other +15 grab and go restaurants at all. I asked for recommendations and got genuine answers from the staff that didn't disappoint at all.
Kona Poke is a standout addition to the downtown lunch scene. I can't say enough good things about this place and I will for sure be back!
