I used to frequent this place often as I work at the Jewish General Hospital right across the street. I loved it because it was always large portions of fresh food, and was for a reasonable price. Today, I came to get lunch for the first time in just over a year, and was severely disappointed by how small the portions have become!! The bowl is under 6 inches in diameter and is very shallow, about 1.5 inches. You can see it’s not full to the top. For $18 (also came with small fries and drink) this is very small. Will not be coming back here sadly, or recommending coworkers to come anymore either.

Aloha Hannah, We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent visit. We just wanted to clarify that you ordered our Student Combo Deal, which comes with a smaller poke bowl at a more affordable price. This is different from our regular poke bowls, which are still available in their original sizes, with prices varying depending on your choice of protein. We understand the confusion, especially since you've visited us before, but we want to reassure you that our regular poke bowl portions have not changed. We appreciate your past support and hope you'll give us another try !

Asked for water . Expecting a glass of water as before but, ended up getting Over priced Eska. Never have coconut water that is on the menu. Went in Saturday (October 3) at not even 11pm yet ( the place closes midnight). Went to place a order and was told it has to be take out. The sitting area is closed for the night. They don’t like speaking english for some Reason when you order. When the owners worked the place it was a lot better. This place has really gone down hill over the year.

Hi Doug, Thank you for taking the time to share this, and I'm truly sorry about your visit on Saturday. This isn't the experience we want anyone to have at Poké Cabana. You're right about the coconut water. Demand had dropped and we stopped ordering it, but it should have been taken off the menu, and that's on us. We're removing it now. When you asked for water, our cashier misunderstood and gave you a bottle of Eska instead of a glass of water. We're sorry for the mix-up. Tap water is always free, so just let us know and we'll fix it right away. Your seating should never have been refused at 11 pm. The dining room was closed too early that night, and I've addressed it directly with the team. Going forward, the dining room will stay open until 11:45 pm, and is only closed then so it can be cleaned for the next day. On language, our staff should always make sure every customer feels comfortable ordering in English or French. I've reminded the team of that. I'd really like to make this up to you. Please send us a message on Instagram at @poke.cabana and I'll reach out to you personally. Mahalo 🌺 Michael Owner, Poké Cabana

The food we received was inedible. I ordered two vegan meals on September 28th. The quinoa was clearly rotten and smelled bad, cheesy/feet smell, wet and mushy, I had to spit it out. The tofu was also terrible. Sour and bland. The vegetables overall were not fresh at all. I also ordered "no seeds" for one of the meals, yet there were a bunch of seeds at the bottom of the bowl that they covered with food, seems like they noticed while making the bowl that I asked for no seeds and they just covered it up. Disappointing!

Nice poke place. love the decor, Hawaiian surf shack. I think they are new... so I think they are still getting used to the pace(took a bit of time to get our food). But all the food (got 3 bowls and boba drinks ) was Delicious. Price is a bit too high in my opinion .

The customer service was overall lacking and the restaurant had a very strong fried smell. The bowl wasn’t as fresh as it could have been.

I visited about an hour before closing, and what can I say other than the staff were amazing! They were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. The food was freshly made, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and the seafood was high quality and tasted amazing. The seasoning was excellent, and finally, a place with reasonable prices for the quality they offer! 👏 My only small comment is that I personally prefer the seafood in a poke bowl to be served a little colder, but it was still very good. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I really liked the place and the atmosphere of Hawaii, with this weather, something refreshing is what I needed. The bowl was really big, I ordered the shrimp one and mid bowl I was really full. Also for the drinks, I ordered the litchi one, but I really preferred the pina colada, it was amazing, no to sweet or creamy, just perfect. I think it was the price of the food is reasonable considering the amount of food and the delicious taste.

I paid $9 for this drink, plus an extra $1 for tapioca pearls. There were no more than 15 pearls in the entire drink. I saw some pictures of other customers and they significantly had way more pearls than 15. Look at the review from Sunny Regalado that shows a much larger portion. It's disappointing that they seem willing to skimp on tapioca pearls, especially when customers are paying extra. for them.

Amazing spot! The food was super fresh, tasty, and well prepared. The ingredients tasted high quality, the portions were generous, and everything was served quickly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the place had a great vibe. Definitely one of the best poke spots around. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Poké Cabana to anyone looking for a fresh and healthy meal.

Quite disappointed with my order as I usually order from this place and today what I got was half of what they usually put in the bowl. I ordered from them about 2-3 weeks ago and the bowl was certainly more full than this.

And I would like to continue to serve you. However, unfortunately someone made a mistake, so I would like the opportunity to make it up to you. Next time you order, please reach out to me, [email protected] My name is Michael and I'm the owner. I'll be happy to offer a discount, to make it worthwhile so please text me in advance saying your name and I'll remember. Mahalo 🌺 Michael

Walked by and it was quite busy so I decided to give it a try… I liked that they had healthy options like lettuce or quinoa based bowls. There’s a little Terasse which is nice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating when I forgot to mention a dietary restriction upon ordering.
