Ace Poke

LOVE LOVE this place for my weekly poke bowl. i go here often and i love it. its always delicious and flavourful, love the little seasoning they put on top and the salad dressing. i love the option of brown and white rice and how it comes warm and not cold. i love how fresh and simple the ingredients are. i sometimes think they are a bit stingey on the portions and it varies depending on the person serving you.

Slow service.. Very limited choices for toppings. They don’t make it in front of you like at other places. I don’t mind paying extra money for good poke’ but this was just not a good experience for me. No sauces on top and just not a whole lot of flavour in general. I was disappointed and was not overall excited to eat it... which is how I usually feel about eating it.

Tried the Chicken Banger bowl which is one of their recommended options. Chicken was rich in flavour paired with teriyaki sauce, it goes well with a brown rice base and my selection of toppings. Also got recommended to try a 62 degree poached egg on the side, which was a nice addition and complimented more flavours into the bowl. I’d say poké bowls like this one are great lunch options as you get a variety of ingredients all in one go, and there are a good range of options as well, will definitely be back again to try other fish options!

Ace Poké is a newly opened poké place located in the heart of Melbourne city - just across Emporium. You have the option to go with their set bowls or to customize your own with desired toppings. Their range of protein is diverse - from seafoods like salmon (sashimi and flamed), tuna and prawns, to slow-cooked chicken, as well as vege/vegan flavors like egg roll and tofu. I personally really like their flamed salmon bowls, you have the option of a soy or spicy mayo flavor, it tastes delicious coupled with a rice base that leaves your cravings satisfied. There are also a wide range of vegetable toppings - edamame, corn and seaweed salad are popular options and go well with any poké choices. Price-wise, I think it’s very reasonable considering the portion size and the amount of fresh ingredients on offer, they do give you quite a good amount of the poké! It’s a very good lunch option for on-the-go or if you’re looking for a healthy meal!
