The poke trend is coming to Alberta and we took this opportunity to visit Po-ke on centre street for a quick dinner. This is a small place but already there was a line-up almost out the door when we got here.
Atmosphere: 3/5 The place is a little small for a sit-down meal but most people just seem to order and go. Also it was a little difficult to find parking, but overall clean and neat since it is newly opened.
Food: 4/5 I had the custom poke bowl with three scoops - salmon and tuna, on salad, and added corn, mandarin oranges, seaweed, artificial crab, and cabbage; there were also a variety of 'preset' bowls and the option of white or brown rice as well as a number of sauces to choose from. I really enjoyed the fresh ingredients without too much sauce, and it was a good portion size for me.
Service: 3/5 They were getting quite busy and almost mixed up my bowl with the next person's, but overall effective assembly line system.
Price: 3/5 A little pricy for the type and amount of food as I can probably make the same bowl by purchasing the individual ingredients and putting it together... except for the sauce.
Overall: 3.5/5 I really enjoyed my poke bowl and really just poke bowls in general - fresh ingredients and ability to customize your own bowl, except it is still a little expensive for type and amount of food.
