Poke Fresh

The rice bowl uses the wrong kind of rice. It should be warm brown sushi rice but it’s dry long basmati instead. Not enough sauce on the food at all and I had to bring my meal home and put salad dressing on it to eat it. Makes no sense.

Not the best poke spot. I found the marinade a bit too heavy and the wasabi mayo was so overpowering I couldn’t finish my food. Service was friendly and prompt however and the place has a decent amount of seating and a nice vibe.

Good staff makes the difference between a happy and unhappy customer. Placed an online order today but the system was down and order disappeared; no worries it happens. The rep was very apologetic and quickly redid my order again (even though I’m sure she was quite busy with other orders) and offering extras for free; made up for the inconvenience. The food itself was a hidden gem. Everything was super fresh and flavours balanced nicely. Portions were generous, enough to have the other half for dinner. Thus the value you get is amazing. I will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu, well done.

Packed poke bowl! Lots of options and customization. Also with pre-set bowls available. Great combination of toppings. Ingredients all tasted fresh and staff was also very kind. Best poke bowl in Victoria hands down. Best bang for your buck in my opinion

Hawaiian bowl totally bland, no flavor not even in the marinated tuna.. I didn't get the sauce, strange flavor and not very good. Canned pineapples and soft fried onions. Not $20 worth after tip

Stuck between a 3 & 4 star, because the gluten filled crab meat is set (open and uncovered) next to all other condiments and toppings. I’m told that all other ingredients are Gluten Free, but this high possibility of cross contact of a gluten filled item makes it unsafe for a person with Celiac Disease. All food items are nestled VERY close to each other and as I watched the server, there indeed was dropping of other toppings into other ingredients. My non-Celiac child did end up eating there, but I did not feel completely safe doing so.That’s my reason for rating (cross contact). I was told over phone that it’s safe, after seeing this in person, I will say it is not safe.My non Celiac child did enjoy her meal.The floors were dirty and the table tops. seating was provided outside. There’s a nice view of the street and surrounding stores. Cute neighborhood. Decent parking.*edit*While I understand that this business may take heart to this and has been in a way “vetted” by Celiac Scene, I am standing in my truth in what I experienced when we visited this site.The employee did NOT bring bowl to/near the ingredients and serve as mentioned by employee in response of this review.There in fact are gluten filled ingredients in this facility, making it not fully a 100% GF/ no cross contact facility. I would ONLY say it is. 100% GF and no CC facility if it in fact was—- but this is not (so far). There was spilling over of toppings into other food containers. That’s why I gave 3 stars, lack of one star because of the cross contact (NOT cross contamination, as mentioned in response by employee in review. Just some education for the difference between “cross contact” and “cross contamination”… Cross contamination deals with salmonella and “cross contact” deals with gluten filled food items touching other food items that have no gluten.)The lack of the 2nd star is because of lack of cleanliness of the business.I’m sorry this was taken as a sort of attack and I can understand why you want me to email, but this is still my experience and my review of facts that occurred.I posted my review as a hope that it’s resolved, not as a way that you can or should feel attacked and want to rebuttal in any way. I will not be emailing you, as all information is available in my review and it’s either worked on or not.And my review was also really to get you to look into moving those gluten filled items completely away from other items. This is a possibility and can be done. Sorry that you read it any other way than a resolution or learning point.- someone who has Celiac Disease and takes it a bit more seriously.(Because anyone who can relate, also understands that “having no incidents doesn’t aways mean that there haven’t been any. And having even 1 incident, lasts soooo long to get back to healthy and trusting a vetted business who seeks resolution and improvements.)

Visited here with my husband and teenage daughter. Super fresh, super tasty and beautifully presented. Aviv, the owner, was informative and gracious. Our daughter loved the food so we'll be back!!)))

We go here often and 90% the staff is really nice and helpful. The gentleman that served us today was still friendly after a long long day at cook st days. thanks again

Such a fresh and delicious spot for a healthy bite to eat! I like that I can build my own bowl and that it’s a locally owned restaurant.
