Our
first
experience
with
Steve’s
Poke
Bar
was
with
their
location
up
at
SFU.
While
we
were
quite
impressed
with
their
poke,
we’re
hardly
ever
up
in
the
SFU
area.
So
I
was
quite
pleased
that
they
opened
up
a
brand
new
spot
in
the
new
food
court
area
of
Lougheed
Town
Centre.
While
there
are
a
ton
of
“poke”
shops
that
have
opened
up
around
town
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
I
find
that
most
of
them
are
a
far
cry
from
the
simple
and
classic
poke
that
you
get
in
Hawaii.
In
my
opinion,
toppings
are
great,
but
should
take
a
back
seat
to
the
main
attraction…
the
sashimi.
Fortunately,
Steve’s
is
one
of
the
places
around
town
that
seems
to
get
that
and
tries
to
stick
with
the
Hawaiian-style
of
poke
while
still
offering
customers
the
option
of
adding
the
toppings
of
their
choice
(after
all,
Vancouverites
are
quite
fickle
when
it
comes
to
food).
It’s
been
a
while
since
I
was
last
at
Lougheed
Town
Centre
and
they’re
doing
a
lot
of
development
in
the
area.
I
had
trouble
finding
the
food
court
at
first
because
they
shut
down
the
old
food
court
location
so
I
had
to
walk
around
until
I
finally
found
it
on
the
2nd
floor
near
The
Bay.
When
I
visited
in
early
January,
Steve’s
was
one
of
the
few
food
outlets
open
but
that
worked
out
for
me
perfectly.
I
ordered
up
their
Spicy
Scallop
and
Shoyu
Ahi
($13.40)
on
a
bed
of
quinoa
and
added
edamame,
wakame,
corn,
white
onions,
green
onions,
imitation
crab,
and
fried
garlic.
It’s
actually
a
pretty
good
size
bowl.
Steve’s
Traditional
Poke
Bowl
($16)
is
one
of
their
set
bowls
which
keeps
things
simple…
you
get
2
scoops
each
of
their
signature
Shoyu
and
Spicy
Ahi
on
a
bed
of
furikake
seasoned
rice.
It’s
a
good
value
for
the
amount
of
poke
that
you
get
and
lets
you
enjoy
the
flavours
of
the
pre-marinaded
fish.
On
my
next
visit,
I
decided
to
try
their
daily
special
–
Ala
Moana
Ahi
(extra
$1)
and
paired
it
with
the
Spicy
Scallop
on
a
bed
of
greens
and
added
wakame,
edamame,
corn,
imitation
crab,
green
onions,
white
onions,
and
crispy
garlic
bits
with
shoyu
and
spicy
mayo
sauce.
The
Ala
Moana
Ahi
has
a
bit
of
a
spicy
kick
to
it
compared
to
their
regular
shoyou
ahi.
I
actually
quite
enjoyed
my
poke
with
the
salad
option
so
I
came
back
the
following
week
and
tried
it
again
but
picked
the
Spicy
Salmon
and
Shoyu
Ahi
and
added
edamame,
corn,
pineapple,
green
onions,
white
onions,
wakame,
imitation
crab,
crispy
garlic
bits
and
spicy
mayo
sauce.
After
a
few
visits,
I
realized
that
two
scoops
of
poke
isn’t
enough
for
me
so
I
started
switching
things
up
and
ordering
3
scoops…
Spicy
Salmon,
Spicy
Scallop,
Shoyu
Ahi…
first
on
salad
and
then
on
quinoia
I
would
like
to
see
a
bit
more
rotation
of
special
items…
maybe
see
tako
or
some
other
type
of
fish.
After
recently
coming
back
from
our
trip
to
Hawaii,
the
first
thing
I
did
was
come
back
to
Steve’s
because
it’s
one
of
the
closest
things
to
Hawaiian
poke
that
you
can
get
here.
