As I heard there was a second location to Olu Olu Poke, I decided to go and try it out with their grand opening promotion of 15% off which is available for pick ups only until the end of March. As expected from its owner, I was satisfied with the consistency of quality, freshness and ingredients used. I am glad that Montreal East now gets to try their Poke Bowls and know what they have been missing. I would beg to differ from another reviewer saying the portions are small.

I like how they didn't fill half the bowl with lettuce like a lot of other places.
That being said, the portions were a bit small (the bowls they use are quite wide, but rather shallow); as a smaller eater, I was satisfied, but my partner was still hungry after the meal.
Looking forward to trying again (hopefully with a few minor...
