I recently visited Poke Island for a lunch date with my little cousin, and it turned out to be the perfect midday escape! After my trip to Honolulu earlier this year, I’ve been on the lookout for a great poke spot in Montreal—and I think I’ve found it! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm, beachy atmosphere that makes you forget about the cold outside. The Hawaiian-inspired decor is charming, inviting, and undeniably Instagram-worthy, with soft, airy tones that create a calm and visually pleasing environment. The music playlist was a vibe, blending R&B and pop for a lively yet laid-back mood that had me singing along and adding to the whole experience. Whether you’re dining in or opting for delivery via Uber Eats, Poke Island is a fantastic choice. Stay tuned for my video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) and Instagram (@Foxyappetite)! In-Depth Review: Now, let’s talk about the food. I kicked things off with the shrimp tempura, and wow—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The texture was on point, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. This was definitely a standout appetizer. For those looking for vegetarian options, the vegan karaage appetizer is a must-try. It had a perfect balance of texture and flavor, and when paired with any of their sauces, it makes for a delicious, meat-free alternative. For my main, I went with the Tropic Salmon Bowl. It came loaded with marinated salmon, sushi rice, teriyaki sauce, lettuce, purple cabbage, edamame, carrot, cucumber, avocado, green onions, fried onions, sesame seeds, tempura, nori, and a side of sesame sauce. This bowl was as colorful as it was flavorful. The salmon was incredibly fresh, and the portion was so generous that I couldn’t finish it all—I ended up taking half home with me, making it a great choice for hearty appetites. I also tried the ube latte, a sweet and unique blend of coffee, ube syrup, milk, and coffee jelly. While it leaned a bit on the sweeter side (next time I’ll ask for A little less syrup), the ube flavor paired with the chewy coffee jelly made for a delightful drink. My cousin went with the General Tao Bowl, and she was pleased with her choice. The dish was packed with chicken, and the portion size offered excellent value for the price. However, she mentioned that a drizzle of sriracha or a spicier sauce would have elevated the dish, as she found the spicy mayo to be a bit too mild. She also tried the Taro Frappe and loved it for its perfectly balanced sweetness—a refreshing and flavorful drink. All in all, Poke Island hits the mark in both flavor and ambiance. With a menu that caters to every preference and a vibrant, relaxed setting, it’s the ideal spot to unwind. From the delicious food and refreshing drinks to the lively atmosphere, I’ll definitely be back!

Disappointing… Ordered a Poke bowl on DoorDash for pickup. Got a notification that I was refunded some money because the tuna was not available. I called the store and they confirmed there was Tuna and it was a mistake. When I got to the store, they gave me my order and told me there was no seaweed salad or pineapple. When I asked why they didn’t inform me of this on the phone, they acted like they didn’t know what I was talking about. Neither did they apologize or take responsibility for it. They just handed me the bag like I was supposed to just be okay with it. I hate to sound entitled but when you spend extra $ for ingredients its because those are important for the bowl… Had I known these ingredients weren’t available I would have canceled my order. Also they ran out of these ingredients at 3 pm… I had to ask them for a form of replacement so I got 2 toppings on the side. Mango and edamame. They at least they corrected the situation to a degree. The food: Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The Takoyaki were soggy, overly fried and the “island sauce” they have, should not replace Japanese Mayo, in my opinion. Use Kewpie and bonito flakes. It’s much better and authentic. The “baie du thon” bowl itself lacks flavour and quality of some ingredients. To start, the rice was slightly undercooked and just doesn’t have the right chew. The sauce was okay and Tuna was good quality. However, there was no purple cabbage. The mango I received was virtually tasteless… Finally they added lettuce like it was a garnish. Maybe 4-5 tiny pieces of iceberg lettuce in there. I also got egg rolls which were okay. Nothing special. All in all this was a very disappointing experience since the service was not great and the food did not make up for it. And I paid 45$. I write this review in quite a critical manner for the owners as a source for internal improvements. I have had some of the best Poke in Canada and elsewhere. There is lots of competition and what will set you apart is quality, consistency and good service.

La partialité en justice comme en critiques de restaurants est une bien mauvaise chose. Du seul fait de faire de l’anglais la langue d’usage autant pour l’enseigne que pour la visibilité en ligne d’un commerce local, je ressens une légère forme d’antipathie. Ce jeu de l’inconscient exacerbe les perceptions négatives pour lui donner satisfaction. Du côté conscient de ma réflexion, je sais qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un crime moral, mais je ne peux m’empêcher de pousser un soupir d’agacement. Poke Island… D’ailleurs — oui, je suis allé vérifier — la raison sociale de l’entreprise dans le registre québécois est bien « L’Île du Poké ». C’est plus élégant et invitant, ou c’est juste moi ? Enfin, trêve de récriminations linguistiques. Comprenez bien que cet exercice nébuleux est loin d’être futile. En mettant le doigt sur ce qui me cause une mauvaise impression, je parviens à en faire abstraction pour évaluer plus équitablement le reste. Allons-y avec la critique. Quand les yeux de ma camarade de table se sont posés sur les plats à l’aspect appétissant du local, le sort était jeté et l’ancre était levée, nous avons mis le cap sur l’Île du Poké. Cette île, donc, longée par le « canal » Saint-Viateur, propose un décor épuré en bois et en blanc, avec un large comptoir bleu turquoise, tel un ilôt central, où prendre la commande et préparer le ravitaillement des navigateurs. Posté derrière le comptoir cette journée-là, le propriétaire, jeune homme arborant lunettes marbrées et boucle d’oreille. Celui-ci, m’apercevant au milieu de ma session photographique, m’invite à passer derrière le comptoir pour faire un vidéo si j’en avais l’envie, mais également de lui permettre, le cas échéant, de se revêtir de son uniforme. Les mains chargées de nos bols du jour, la Tropique du Saumon et la Côte Pacifique (avec saumon, thon et crevettes marinés), d’un rouleau impérial (savoureux, mais un peu petit pour être considéré comme un véritable accompagnement) et d’un frappé aux mangues (rafraîchissant), nous nous installons dans la partie orientale du bâtiment où deux adeptes des réseaux sociaux et de leur jargon venaient d’enregistrer une séquence publicitaire. Je remarque qu’il nous manque les ustensiles. Pour mon amie, je prends une fourchette et un couteau, mais aussi des baguettes pour que lui en enseigne le maniement. À table ! De mon bord, je mange avec appétit. Le mélange des saveurs du bol est agréable et bien dosé, évoquant à un haut degré de similitude des dégustations antérieures de cette préparation d’origine hawaïenne. Du bord de mon amie, je l’ai surprise à pousser des « mmm » de satisfaction, peut-être pour la première fois depuis le début de notre carrière d’explorateurs de restaurants. Elle qui adore les hambourgeois… Nous avons donc échangé nos rôles habituels, elle, se montrant inespérément enthousiaste et expressive, et moi, dînant impassiblement, ce qui me fait dire, si elle devait prendre ma place derrière le clavier, elle attribuerait probablement la note maximale à l’Île du Poké. Quant à moi, je suis surtout reconnaissant d’avoir comblé efficacement ma faim pour moins de 25 $ avec la quantité et la qualité au rendez-vous. P.S. Suivant le mode fonctionnement de la restauration rapide, on n’y retrouve aucune vaisselle réutilisable, même pour les repas sur place. Tout est en plastique recyclable, sauf les ustensiles en bois et la paille en papier. Si l'utilisation de plastique recyclable est regrettable, elle s'inscrit dans la réalité de la restauration rapide. Souhaitons que des alternatives durables soient envisagées à l'avenir.

Whether you’re dining in or opting for delivery via Uber Eats, Poke Island is a fantastic choice.

Stay tuned for my video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) and Instagram (@Foxyappetite)!

In-Depth Review:

Now, let’s talk about the food. I kicked things off with the shrimp tempura, and wow—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The texture was on point, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. This was definitely a standout appetizer. For those looking for vegetarian options, the vegan karaage appetizer is a must-try. It had a perfect balance of texture and flavor, and when paired with any of their sauces, it makes for a delicious, meat-free alternative.

For my main, I went with the Tropic Salmon Bowl.

Quand les yeux de ma camarade de table se sont posés sur les plats à l’aspect appétissant du local, le sort était jeté et l’ancre était levée, nous avons mis le cap sur l’Île du Poké. Cette île, donc, longée par le « canal » Saint-Viateur, propose un décor épuré en bois et en blanc, avec un large comptoir bleu turquoise, tel un ilôt central, où prendre la commande et préparer le ravitaillement des navigateurs. Posté derrière le comptoir cette journée-là, le propriétaire, jeune homme arborant lunettes marbrées et boucle d’oreille. Celui-ci, m’apercevant au milieu de ma session photographique, m’invite à passer derrière le comptoir pour faire un vidéo si j’en avais l’envie, mais également de lui permettre, le cas échéant, de se revêtir de son uniforme.

Les mains chargées de nos bols du jour, la Tropique du Saumon et la Côte Pacifique (avec saumon, thon et crevettes marinés), d’un rouleau impérial (savoureux, mais un peu petit pour être considéré comme un véritable accompagnement) et d’un frappé aux mangues (rafraîchissant), nous nous installons dans la partie orientale du bâtiment où deux adeptes des réseaux sociaux et de leur jargon venaient d’enregistrer une séquence publicitaire. Je remarque qu’il nous manque les ustensiles. Pour mon amie, je prends une fourchette et un couteau, mais aussi des baguettes pour que lui en enseigne le maniement. À table !

De mon bord, je mange avec appétit. Le mélange des saveurs du bol est agréable et bien dosé, évoquant à un haut degré de similitude des dégustations antérieures de cette préparation d’origine hawaïenne. Du bord de mon amie, je l’ai surprise à pousser des « mmm » de satisfaction, peut-être pour la première fois depuis le début de notre carrière d’explorateurs de restaurants. Elle qui adore les hambourgeois…

Nous avons donc échangé nos rôles habituels, elle, se montrant inespérément enthousiaste et expressive, et moi, dînant impassiblement, ce qui me fait dire, si elle devait prendre ma place derrière le clavier, elle attribuerait probablement la note maximale à l’Île du Poké. Quant à moi, je suis surtout reconnaissant d’avoir comblé efficacement ma faim pour moins de 25 $ avec la quantité et la qualité au rendez-vous.

P.S. Suivant le mode fonctionnement de la restauration rapide, on n’y retrouve aucune vaisselle réutilisable, même pour les repas sur place. Tout est en plastique recyclable, sauf les ustensiles en bois et la paille en papier. Si l'utilisation de plastique recyclable est regrettable, elle s'inscrit dans la réalité de la restauration rapide. Souhaitons que des alternatives durables soient...
