About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Ottawa at 62 Barrette Street, Mr Poke is a vibrant haven for poke enthusiasts and those seeking a fresh, flavorful dining experience. Specializing in Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls, Mr Poke expertly combines quality ingredients with bold, balanced flavors that delight the palate and satisfy the appetite.

The cornerstone of their menu is undoubtedly the Mr Poke Bowl, a harmonious medley of fresh fish, crisp vegetables, and perfectly seasoned sushi rice. Standouts include the Chicken Teri Poke Bowl, where tender grilled chicken glazed in a homemade teriyaki sauce meets a kick of spicy mayo, all crowned with crispy onions for a delightful crunch. The bowl is a colorful feast featuring purple cabbage, buttered sweet corn, radish, pineapple, and edamame, delivering a vibrant burst of textures and flavors in every bite. Seafood lovers will be drawn to the Salmon Poke Bowl and Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, both showcasing impeccably fresh fish enhanced by subtly sweet and spicy notes.

Complementing the bowls are a variety of tempting appetizers, like the crispy Shrimp Tempura and diverse gyoza selections—including Korean BBQ pork, chicken, and veggie options—perfect for those who love a satisfying crunch to start their meal. Each dish is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring freshness without overpowering sauces, allowing the natural flavors to shine through.

The atmosphere at Mr Poke is casual and inviting, an ideal spot for a quick takeout or a relaxed grab-and-go lunch. While the space is intimate, the warmth of the service and the generous portion sizes make every visit feel personal and rewarding. Diners often find themselves pleasantly surprised by how filling and nutritious their bowls are, with many sharing that one order easily stretches into two satisfying meals.

What truly sets Mr Poke apart is its commitment to balance and quality. Unlike poke bowls that flood you with rice, here every ingredient is thoughtfully portioned, achieving a perfect harmony between freshness, texture, and taste. Customers rave about the consistent quality—“fresh, delicious, healthy,” and portioned so generously it's “a perfect blend of fresh, high-quality ingredients.” Their attention to accommodating dietary preferences, including halal and veggie options, adds an extra layer of care.

If you’re in Ottawa and craving a poke bowl that tastes authentically fresh but bursting with inventive flavor combinations, Mr Poke invites you to experience a culinary gem that has quickly become a local favorite. Whether you're a longtime poke fan or new to this Hawaiian delight, this spot delivers an unmatched combination of flavor, value, and friendly service that will undoubtedly bring you back for more.

    WOW WOW! Honestly what a hidden gem in the neighborhood! It’s a small spot, mostly for takeout, but wow the teri poke bowl I got was AMAZING. Super filling, generous portion, and a fair price! Usually poke spots overload you with rice but not here you get a good balance of everything with plenty of fair options. I’ll definitely be going back and I really hope they keep thriving! They also have a café with pastries and from what I saw they even offer some breakfast options.

    I ate from time to time at the Mr. Poke. The Poke is one is the best in Ottawa, I think. This poke bowl was a perfect blend of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The combination of salmon and pork, along with the varied vegetables, created a well-rounded dish that was both delicious and nutritious. It's a fantastic option for anyone looking to enjoy a wholesome and flavorful meal. I highly recommend trying this poke bowl for a delightful and satisfying dining experience. This bowl is sure to impress with its superb quality and taste.

    I decided to POKE around the neighborhood and came across Mr. Poke. I’ve been twice and was impressed with the size of the bowls. Generous portions with a really nice mix of ingredients. Agree with other reviewers that you can stretch it into two meals. There’s something distinctly better about these pokebowls compared to others I’ve had around Ottawa, and you can’t poke a hole in that argument.

    Fresh, delicious, healthy and good portion size (we often get two meals out of a bowl, YMMV). This has quickly become our go-to spot and first recommendation for visiting friends and family. And a special thank you for accommodating dietary restrictions and always being friendly about it :)

    Mr. Poke Fresh, fast, and customizable — a solid spot when you’re craving something lighter but still filling. Bowls are generously portioned, with plenty of beautiful and tasty toppings. Fish is fresh, and the sauces don’t overpower the ingredients. Service is quick and friendly — feels more “grab and go” than sit-and-linger. Visitors tip: Portions run big — don’t overload unless you’re seriously hungry. Seating is limited, so better for takeout. Bottom line: A reliable poke fix that balances freshness with convenience. Amazing flavours, you won't go wrong with any of the poke bowls! We'll always make a detour anytime we're in the area moving forward!

    First time ordering a poke here despite coming here biweekly for the JnJ bakery lol seriously such high quality poke bowl. The fresh ingredients, delicious sauce and a hefty portion for 1, all the while still meets the daily nutritional intake requirements (trust me I took nutrition classes last semester). I’ll be coming here more often to try out other bowls as well.

    Mr Poke is SO good, I find myself craving it all the time! Thrilled to have this in the neighbourhood. The portion size is amazing and all the ingredients are always so fresh. They have an excellent tofu option for vegetarians/vegans as well. Definitely a new staple and everyone else I know who has tried it will say the same!

    Im surprised I took this long to review this place. It has become our only and go-to Poké bowl joint, and it's on top of our list of lazy night take out options. I've never had a poke bowl this stuffed (with fresh ingredients), and I've tried a ton of places. I usually feel like I need a 2nd or 3rd bowl to be full in most places. Mr poke delivers on quantity though as well as quality. The resto itself is nothing to write home about... But the food is phenomenal and staff is always nice.
