Le Poké Station Verdun — Restaurant in Montreal

The first time I tried this place was a good experience. I had the crab and shrimps but I took out the fake crab and added lobster.

This was about a year ago. I went back a few time within the last month and now it became a bad place.

The flying fish eggs were dry and tasted nasty (orange eggs), the mango doesn’t taste like anything and same goes for the pineapple. The lobster tasted weird like it was about to turn bad. It had that weird smell. I also asked the cassier for some mayo at the top of the bottom salad and then some more at the top of the bowl like they usually do. I barely got any mayo. The cassier was struggling with the almost empty mayo container.

Another problem is that they always lack about 25% of the ingredients on the menu.

I use to like this place but it isn’t the same anymore.

I will not be coming back. Very...

I'm not one to leave reviews, but this place... Man, this place.

Every single bite is heavenly.

Poké Station Verdun serves the best bowls I've ever had the pleasure to indulge in. The ingredients are always very fresh (which makes such a difference), the flavours are phenomenal and the sauces... Wow, the sauces. Just somethin' about them that keeps you coming back for more.

Their Signature Shaka Bowl (my all time go-to) is probably one of the best dishes I've ever had. Amanda (shout-out girl, you're the best) is super generous with the portions (and not just!). She honestly raises the bar to towering heights. 🙌

Service is incredibly swift, and the presentation is always on point. The bowls not only taste great, they also look great! The space is also always neat and tidy.

I cannot recommend this jewel of Wellington Street...

Apparently under new management form the owner's comment below. I personally had a great experience. The guy at the cash was very welcoming, highly motivated. Asked me if I knew the concept. He might be the owner? Young entrepreneur always score points in my book. I asked for their most popular dish and unlike most places that will recommend you the most expensive item on the menu, his answer came with explanation (and wasn't the most expensive item; gave me 2 options). It's now a takeout counter, few places to sit by the window. BUT, honestly, all that is accessory. The dish was AMAZING. I took the salmon bowl with the vegan sesame mayo and was happily surprised with panko and avocado! Portions are what you expect but it is quite pricy; +/- 20$ for the meal. Not everyday but delicious enough to justify the expense...
