Po-ke - Calgary

I recently checked out PO-KE on Centre street with my girl Carmela. There are now two places in the city where you can get poke, which is defined by Wikipedia as: a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as a main course. We were on a day off work so we went for an early lunch and a pedicure (girl time! . PO-KE has a parking lot in the back, shared with the other businesses in the small strip mall, just up the hill from the river. We were there about 11:30 – before the lunchtime rush. There are a few seats to eat inside the restaurant but we scored a table on the patio along Centre street on the nice warm day.

Let me start off by saying I've only ever had poke bowls in Los Angeles before trying this one in Calgary. The ones in LA can't be beat, and I'm sure it's even better in Hawaii.<br/ <br/ So when this place opened up, I was definitely excited to try. It's about time Calgary gets on the poke hype. Came here around 11am on a weekend with a friend, and fairly busy. Note, very limited seating -0.5 . <br/ <br/ Ordered the build your own over brown rice, half salmon, half tuna, all the toppings, their special siracha ? sauce, and a can of pop. Think it came out to be $16. Sure it's a bit pricey, but we're not near an ocean, so I'm okay to pay a little more

I checked this place out for a late lunch, I decided to make my own Poke Bowl and I ordered their Poke special dog and two Musubi.The Poke Bowl I picked three proteins marinated Ahi Tuna, marinated Salmon and Special Scallops. I almost got all the toppings, picked 3 sauces. I like my Poke more saucy. The three sauces made it amazing. The seafood was fresh and tasty. The only thing that they need is Tamago. The only negative thing I have to say is that everything I ordered they kept saying that's $1 extra, that's $2 extra. I think adding $2 for ahi is really pointless due to the 3 proteins you choose one would be ahi any ways. The Musubi was OK. The photo shows nor I wrapped around the musubi so you can pick it up. Mine came with no nori wrapped around it. The hot dogs....I won't order this again. The bun was stale and hard the dog was nothing special. Next time I will try the burrito, but for sure I will have their Poke Bowl again

Love love love all the toppings and options. Everyone says that it's overpriced, but you get so much ahi and poke, that it's totally worth it! All they are missing is a patio!<br/

We catered Po-ke food for our party: self-served poke bar. They were great to deal with and delivered the food on time in separate containers with multiple sauces. The ahi tuna Poke bar was a hit!
