Kona Poke - Calgary, Alberta

McDonald or A&W was the thought on my head after visiting Kona Poke. You see, the thought of wanting more food usually occurs after I have something I like but not quite having enough. This was exactly what had happened this evening. Kona had good food, but the portion was ... not quite there to fill me despite ordering the large size. I suppose the size is good for lunch, but a bit lacking for supper. For $14.95, I got to choose three scopes of protein. Tuna, octopus and ahi tuna were my choice, but they were not quite scopeful by my observations. As far as I could tell, the food were fresh, my disappointment was the portion, it was a bit small. I don't mind paying a $1 or $2 more for dinner size to avoid feeling unfulfilled. The place is nice and tidy. Parking space in front of the shop, and I saw couple people just parked and hopped in to get food, but one needs to pay for parking. Don't come crying if the city catches you with one of those all-seeing cars. The shop had been closed for a week or two now. See photo. Read more

I didn't like poke until I tried it again with my family at Kona Poke. The decore and atmosphere is great - very clever and relaxing, while the food is delicious. I wouldn't say that I was "stuffed" after eating a large bowl, but it was very satisfying ... and high quality. Even the washrooms were decorated and very clean. Read more

Good poke here in Calgary, they give you a lot of options to customize your bowl.

Previously I had rated this location 5 stars. Unfortunately in the last few months, this location has fallen behind other poke spots. The fish is poorly cut (i routinely find small bits of salmon bone), which is a non-starter at a poke place for me. The staff continue to be wonderful. ... Super friendly, prompt, and easy to deal with, but the slip in quality is something of a deal breaker. This location continues to have excellent hours, being the only poke location in the downtown core open for dinner, but now with competing shops on 17th and in kensington, this is less of a big deal.

Visited here on a quick long weekend trip to Calgary. There were few instructions for first time orderers. There aren't many garnishes available compared to other competitors. Portion of food of generous. Overall was tasty.
