Pacific Poke Life Building UBC

I eat here once a week. The poké is at the top end of what I would expect for fast-food poké. Delicious.

Just go to Steve’s. The quality is better at Steve’s and you get way more food. At Steve’s you get unlimited toppings but here you can only pick like 2 or 3 lol and they don’t tell you til after. The portion size is really small for the price. Just go to Steve’s. Not trying to be mean but like we are just uni students with limited funds.

2.5/5. The most mid poke I’ve ever had. The rice was pretty mushy, the fish didn’t taste right (I got spicy salmon and it didn’t actually taste like spicy mayo, it tasted…old?) and half my bowl was just pickled onions 😭
Service was fast, but the workers pretty much ignored me the entire time to keep up their animated conversation with each other instead. Don’t know why they were so disinterested in their customers…
anyway, only positive thing from this is that I didn’t pay full price for this bowl as it was the poke of the day.

Caca food

Food here is good overall, but the customer service is bad. They just ignore your request even though you repeated again and again ?

Great food, staff is super nice and accommodating! Fav poke place on campus

Overpriced and disappointing taste

It just doesn’t taste good

In my opinion, one of the best places get a healthy and filling meal in this part of campus. Fresh ingredients, tasty bowls, and lots of options for customization whether you go with one of the set bowls or build your own. Prices are fair for the portion size, and the service is usually friendly and fairly fast. I've never had any serious problem with the food quality here, but some ingredients seem to not be as fresh or as high-quality as I've come to expect from poke (again, never had anything that was bad, but it's just missing that pristine touch). I also find that some of the flavour combinations are kind of odd, like the pesto-marinated tofu and pineapple or very guac-like avocado scoops. But I still generally find their bowls satisfying if you know how to pick your ingredients. The Main and the Cali are my favourite standard bowls. Although I like the personalization of just building a bowl, I wish you could get more than 3 toppings on a regular size. Service is iffy sometimes. Mostly nice people, but there are a few staff members that don’t seem to know what’s going on.

They have a nice variety of different topping options to choose from. Each component I got was tasty and very fresh. The portion size is also good and service was nice and efficient. Great option for a healthy & fast meal on campus.

Excellent poke! Loved the innovative ingredients that I haven't seen anywhere else - edamame/corn salsa and wasabi peas. Will definitely be returning.

Best Poké on campus! Super fresh and super filling, and the people who work there always brighten my day. I also find the portion size rather big, so you’re getting your money’s worth.My go-to is the The Cali; highly recommend it for anyone who prefers less raw fish in their poké bowl, and in general for anybody! Super delicious!! Thank you!!
