"Review: dinner.\n\nWhen I first heard about the concept of poke, I was thrilled because it was such a brilliant way to utilize Japanese ingredients. Po-ke was the first restaurant to offer it so I had to experience it myself.\n\nBottomline: good execution of their poke bowls, but ingredients were somewhat standard and left me wanting more out of the poke bowl.\n\nAtmosphere: small cafe style restaurant with limited sitting. Decor was modern and refreshing. Service was good and quick.\n\nFood: if you like sushi, you can't go wrong ordering a poke bowl. It's essentially all Japanese ingredients mixed into a bowl. Their execution was done well. Ingredients were fresh and everything was balanced well, but their poke bowls weren't all that special. It's a fairly easy dish to make at home with the right ingredients. The poke bows here unfortunately pales in comparison to the ones I had in Vancouver.\n\nValue: reasonable prices for the amount of food you are getting, although lately it seems they have skimmed out on the sashimi portions of the bowl."^^ . .
