Ykiki Poke

Central Lonsdale moves at a steady clip between office lunches and condo errands, and Ykiki Poke at 1300 Lonsdale Avenue fits that rhythm with fresh bowls inspired by Waikiki. The menu goes beyond standard assembly line fare by incorporating distinct textures and flavours into signature options like Mom's Poke, which features Korean-style soy braised beef with teriyaki and Yki dressings over white rice. Those who prefer oven-baked chicken might lean toward the Chickidy Poke with miso dressing and onion crisps, while seafood eaters can choose Pop's Poke with aburi farmed salmon and tuna dressed in ponzu citrus and wasabi aioli. Each bowl arrives with thoughtful additions such as romaine, pineapple, seaweed salad, corn, red cabbage, house pickles, edamame, cucumber, crab meat, or avocado depending on the selection.
