| - Finally, Calgary has hopped on the poke bowl train!!! I've been wanting to try Po-ke since they opened but I knew that it was ALL the hype so I waited for it to die down. After helping my friend move some furniture on a Friday evening, we were hungry. We were looking for something on the healthier side when I remembered Po-ke. We put Po-ke in google maps and it took us to Centre street NE. It was around 6:45PM and parking was easy to find. Even after all the hype, there was a little line and the place was bumpin'. They offer, poke bowls, sushi burritos, poke dogs and musubi which is spam on rice wrapped with nori. For the bowls, you can get regular size (2 scoops of protein) or large size (3 scoops). Mandy decided to go with the po-ke special bowl with a spinach base. It came with Ahi tuna, salmon in the signature sauce topped with seaweed salad, avocado, mandarins, masago, sesame seeds, shredded nori and drizzled with unagi sauce. I decided to go with the salmon bowl with a half brown rice, half spinach base and it came with salmon tossed in ponzu topped with green and sweet onion, cucumber, corn, crab/seaweed salad and topped with sriracha aioli. The lined moved, it was neat watching them work fast, they have a good system going.
They also sell Well Juicery drinks as well as other beverages. There is some seating inside but not a lot, kind of bar style seating. They have a couple of tables outside which is also nice. Mandy and I took a table outside, we were super excited to try these poke bowls. It was love at first bite! Fresh fish, fresh ingredients, just so refreshing!! I love how everything went well together, it felt like such a light, healthy dinner...just what we were looking for. We were MMMMMM'ing while eating, it was silent for the most part unless we were talking about how good the bowls were.
I noticed a lot of people ordering skip the dishes/uber eats and recently a friend told me she ordered from Po-ke and said she was impressed.
I guess my only complaint would be that they need a garbage outside. It's not a huge deal but it makes sense to have a garbage/recycle bin outside when you have a seating area and use plastic bowls but otherwise, everything was fantastic and I could literally eat poke bowls every day if I could and not feel any guilt! Though, next time - I will customize my own bowl so I can get all the toppings I want!! :) See ya next time Po-ke!
