About Poke Bar
Poke Bar at 1448 Lonsdale Avenue in Central Lonsdale serves customizable poke bowls with fresh fish, various bases, proteins, sauces, and toppings for quick meals.
Central Lonsdale lunch rushes and rainy weekdays often call for a meal that is both fast and entirely your own. Poke Bar at 1448 Lonsdale Avenue operates on a build-your-own format where you select the bowl size first, then choose a base like white rice, brown rice, noodles, mixed greens, or even tortilla chips. Protein options include tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, tofu, scallop, shrimp, and octopus, with raw-fish notices clearly marked for those who prefer cooked or plant-based alternatives. This step-by-step assembly makes it easy to adjust spice levels, textures, and portion sizes without waiting for a full kitchen service, which is exactly what many North Shore workers and residents need when time is short but standards remain high.
The customization continues through mix-ins like corn, jalapeno, cilantro, kale, cucumber, sweet onion, green onion, pineapple, and edamame, followed by sauces ranging from sesame oil and ponzu to spicy mayo and wasabi shoyu. Toppings such as avocado, masago, crispy garlic, and furikake add final layers of flavour, while sides like seaweed salad offer something extra. The company notes that fish arrives fresh daily and traces its seafood roots to Yanagi Sushi in California. For locals running errands or riding transit along the Central Lonsdale strip, this spot delivers predictable quality, from a simple tofu and sesame bowl to a richer combination of salmon, scallop, and heat. Mixed groups appreciate being able to order side by side with completely different preferences satisfied in one quick stop.
