Poke Restaurants near Ottawa, ON

“Première essaie aujourd'hui à la succursale de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu et c'est le meilleur bol poké que j'ai jamais mangé. Merveilleux👍“

“I love Paradise Poke and am a pretty regular customer but : the girl who prepared my meal today, which included handling my food directly with her gloved hands, turned around and punched in my order on the screen and then turned over the screen to me for me to complete my purchase so I also touched the screen. That made be uncomfortable. Touching my food and the screen that all of the customers also touch… what’s the point of wearing gloves? The person preparing food should not also be doing the cash.“

“Yummy poke bowls at reasonable prices. Loved the salmon with spicy mayo. The staff was friendly as well. It’s more of a take out place but there’s a couple tables to sit at and they were very accommodating. I’d like if there was iced tea available (I might’ve just missed it). Will definitely return and reccomend to friends!“

“Overall, the experience was closer to a 4/5, but what really stood out was the owner’s kindness.

Customer service can be hit-or-miss at some Viet-owned businesses in Canada, so it was refreshing to feel genuinely welcomed here. The owner was friendly, happy to chat with my family, and had a relaxed, approachable vibe. They mentioned leaving Vietnam many years ago and never returning - which may explain why the pho noodles lacked a bit of depth - but for me, dining out is about more than just flavour.

Offering a broad menu while keeping flavours strong isn’t easy, so I appreciated that they leaned into other Asian cuisines rather than padding the menu with beginner-friendly food like fries or pasta. The space is small and cozy, and given the location, the pricing feels fair. With Ottawa prices hovering around $16–$20 per dish these days, there’s little to complain about.

If you’re after strong, authentic Vietnamese flavours, this spot may disappoint. But for a relaxed meal with friends or coworkers - especially given the location - it fits the bill.“

“Incredible restaurant! It has a great vibe, amazing service, and delicious food. I will be back!“

“We made an order for Valentine’s day and unfortunately the driver chose to take another order before ours so the food came an hour late. However the food is amazing and service wise there wasnt much they could change about the situation except they gave us free cheese and chocolate cakes ! 🤓Thank you ! I was still happy once we finally received our food its the best sushi I’ve had in Ottawa. We’ve ordered before where it was fast just note the orders are delivered by dash drivers so on a busy day mistakes can happen.“
