I like it here as a vegetarian. Pricing is average but I appreciate the selection of vegetables offered. Definitely more pickled foods than other poke places (which I prefer).**Looks like the location is no longer here, as the store has been replaced by Salmon Wave (sushi cafe)**

It was pretty good!! The portions were fair for the price and the taste was good!

One of my favourite poke shops around town! The customer service at this location is great! The staff are courteous and kind and even when they are slammed (I believe there may have been a staffing shortage as usually there is 2 at lunch but yesterday was just 1) the worker was very kind and took the right amount of time with each customer while also apologizing for the wait (not to be faulted!). The pricing is still fair especially for the portion you get. They have seating indoors (limited) but perfect enough to enjoy your bowl of poke before heading off to your next destination or returning to work (full and fed!) the Cali is my favourite bowl to order and the ingredients taste fresh and so well flavoured. I believe they have white rice, brown rice, kale, quinoa and cauliflower rice for bases (some alternatives are subject to additional charge) which is nice to sort of cater to any palate.

Went in for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. The main was filling, fresh, and flavourful. It was a really good portion with lots of low carb options for the base. The guy who helped me out knew what paired with what really well and helped me through my first bowl. I definitely will be returning.

I ordered the Cali! It is delicious but the portions are small. I only got few pieces of salmon and shrimp for its price. The big portions are mostly pickled onion and seaweed. And i added masago for $2. Its too expensive for the portions of protein.

Stopped in here without much research but they did not disappoint. The man behind the counter was extremely helpful and friendly especially when we hadn't had much experience with poke in the past. Food was so refreshing and all the ingredients in our bowls were fresh, savory, and worked perfectly together, and all for a reasonable price!

Food is not bad. They seem to have issues with portion size. Pictured is their one serving of salmon. It is 3 small cubes of salmon.Edit: they seem to have fixed their portion size issue and now they give more than what I expect which is great! I definitely tip more when that happens ?

Surprised by the amount of negative reviews here. Never had a bad experience, portions/price are fine IMO, food taste great. Staff is friendly

Though staff was friendly and the food was good, the server forgot to mention the extra charge for certain options and my poke bowl was $10 extra and I was on a tight budget. When I asked her why are there so many extra charges, then she said the wasabe edamame etc was all extra - I asked her why she didn't tell me, and she casually said sorry I forgot. Very stressful situation to be in and not waste the food, so I bit the bullet and paid.

I used to visit here ~1-2 times a month. My main complaint is the discrepancy in the amount of food you get. Depending on the server you could get a full bowl or one that's 70% full. Definitely doesn't feel good when the inconsistencies happen for what should be the same order. Sadly if the new poke restaurant opening in the food court is any good and this location doesn't see an improvement it'll probably be bumped down to a 3 star.
Very pricey and very small portions. They always run out of some of the items. I added avocado (very small scoop) and they charged me extra topping plus the price of the avocado which doesn't make sense, why charge both?. There are other poke restaurants where you can add as many toppings as you want for the same price.

This is very pricey for the size. 13.50$ for the basic regular. They also ran out of a bunch of sauces when we got here.

Just ordered from Door Dash and it's a major disappointment for the price you pay. It doesn't give you enough toppings, therefore the taste is very bland. I received the salmon frozen. I asked for Kimchi cucumber and it was just plain chopped up cucumbers. There isn't enough sauce in the bowl. There is nothing special about Pacific Poke. I am not sure how it won the Georgia Straight awards...there are MUCH better Poke places in Vancouver. Definitely NOT a recommend on my part.

Spivey tuna and salmon are not even Spicey they squirt sauce on it , over $2 extra for aTopping like fish egg that are free any were else , can not even get Edamame beans they are mixed with corn 1 bean per 10 Peace's of corn if that , no shoyu sauce or seeweed spice . Worst place iv tryed so far !

Not sure if it's a change in ownership or the downward trend in popularity of poke but I remember this place being a lot better. Better poke places exist.
