The Poke Guy - Vancouver, British Columbia

Just tried this location on Richards St for the first time, but I've also been to the Howe St location. The venue on Howe is a little nicer (it's very bright and open), but this building is also a nice comfortable hideaway to relax and enjoy some poke in. The ... only big difference is that this location just started serving bubble tea, which is what made me come here this time. I got "da bruddah bowl", which is a vegan poke bowl that actually includes vegan tuna! I haven't tried a lot of vegan fish before, but the ones that I have sampled tend to have a bit of an jelly-like texture because they're made with agar, which I don't really like, but I didn't pick up on that texture here, maybe because it was finely chopped. So I was pretty impressed with it - I actually don't think I would have noticed that it wasn't real tuna if I hadn't known. Vegan tuna aside, I also really enjoyed the other components of the bowl. It was fresh and the carrot ginger dressing was great! I tried the papaya latte to drink, and I was also pretty impressed with this. Creamy papaya flavour and lots of chewy crystal pearls. They were able to make it in the reusable cup I brought. The staff were great. They were nice to me, but while I was eating, so many customers came in with lots of questions and they were really patient with everyone. Read more

Pretty good overall. Decent portion sizes, fresh ingredients, relatively quick service. It's a touch bit pricey though.

While this wasn't my favorite poke ever, I have to give it 5* for the sheer value of price to food ratio. I couldn't believe how big a "lil guy" was! For the price I paid, I was satisfied. Would consider going again, but would want to try other poke ... places first. Read more

Amazing Poke Bowls! The spicy salmon was fantastic in both bowls. I tried the signature broke da mouth bowl and it was very tasty. The staff working at this location were very friendly and helped guide me through my first time at this restaurant. Overall it was a great experience!

I ordered a customized bowl through Ritual and decided to dine in when I picked up my order because the place looked cozy. The ingredients where really fresh. I specifically enjoyed the edamame beans in my bowl. I chose chicken breast for my protein but I didn’t like it that much. ... Overall, everything was good except for the chicken. I’ll probably try the classic next time. Read more
