Took me way too long to finally try this place. Really wish I did earlier because it’s excellent. Fresh and flavourful. Great variety of toppings. I see reviews complaining about price, but it was $32 in total for TWO bowls for my partner and I, which I think is fair these days. He normally doesn’t even like poke, but he really enjoyed his bowl. And they filled us up! Looking forward to coming back.Only thing I would suggest is that I’d love to see an aburi option on the menu. ?

Fresh and delicious tuna and salmon mixes. I got 4 fish selections and extra veggies- In the end I paid $30 for a heaping pile of healthy food. In my opinion, worth the money!

I used to really like this place, it was called Poke Bowl. When I went in today, it was empty at 1:00pm. I stayed and ate at a table, there was one other customer over the next 20 minutes. Their pricing is probably part of the reason, but they're also being cheap. Barely any sauce was put on my 2 protein bowl. The bowl prices are overly-complicated now, it used to be a set price for a 2-protein bowl and cost a bit more if you got the wild salmon. Easy. Now it is a math menu. The same bowl I used to get for $17 is $21 and missing items that used to be included without extra cost. I can't have seaweed salad and pickled cucumber together anymore unless I pay extra. For a simple poke bowl that costs over $20 that's just cheapskate antics and bad business. The miso soup used to be $1 as an add on, now it is $3.50 a bowl but $2.50 if adding on. They're grasping for profit, the throughput can't be sustainable. I asked the girl working if it had changed owners, she said it is the same owners and mentioned they changed the menu over a year ago (it wasn't priced like this the last time I went about six months ago, she's grasping too).

Fantastic place for a quick meal yes a meal that will fill your belly , a little expensive but the value is in the food . Service is quick and you won't be disappointed in any of the selections of takeout or eat ins , take it home and put it in a wrap yummy . The place is small but what they lac in ambiance it's definitely in the quality of the food , Pete

Man, at one time I thought this was the best place. So delicious and a great deal. I used to come here every week after working out. It was almost a tradition. It used to cost me about $22, because I loaded it up! Now I've come back after a few months away, to find the menu has changed and now everything is extra. Second side salad? Extra. Roe? Extra. All the things that used to be included? EXTRA(are you getting it now?).For what used to cost me less than $20 now costs me nearly $25.They've lost me as a customer that is for sure.

Seriously probably the freshest poke in all of Vancouver. Love how you can customize it so easily and the fact that it’s delicious every. Single. Time. Keep up the awesome work, PokeLani!

This used to be the best on the North Shore but given the change in format, sizes and pricing it’s much more expensive for less food. Disappointing. What used to be $20-22 is now $30. I’ve typically been served by the couple who owns this and they’re friendly but the young woman today was just plain surly. I’ll probably not be coming back or not as much.

I ordered poke from here for delivery and I was absolutely shocked at how small the portion was. My total was more than $27 and I received very little. It's such a shame cause the salmon and tuna were very fresh and they tasted amazing, or at least the very few pieces they threw in there did.

Probably the most expensive poke I had and the portion for the price is disappointing. Little rice and stingy with toppings.

This place used to be good, but about a week ago they changed around how they do orders and are now the same price for less food. They used to have 3 sizes, small, medium and large, all of which you'd get different amount of protein and rice with, but now they only have 1 size, which has one scoop of rice and only 2 scoops of protein, and now you only get 1 topping, whereas it was usually 2 before, and some are now "Premium" toppings like avocado and masago which used to a normal toppings. All of this for around $20 a bowl now, whereas before, it was the same price for much more food and less restrictions. Overall, I'm very disappointed in their recently changes, and I would suggest going somewhere else less stingy for poke. Got nothing bad to say about the employees here though, they've always been great, just bad corporate decisions making things more expensive for consumers. Only other positive I can say is that this place is open late.
