Calgary’s first exclusive pokè establishment of its kind that opened in April 2017.  We are locally owned, and operated.

David Nguyen, founder of Po-ke grew up and spent the majority of his life in Vancouver, moved to Winnipeg before settling into Calgary, and calling this place home.  Cindy Nguyen, co-founder of Po-ke born and raised Calgarian lived here all her life.

In early 2016, David and Cindy began a romantic relationship.  It was then that their love of food and travel was how David had his first taste of pokè and was instantly hooked.  During a trip to Los Angeles California, Cindy took David to Venice beach.  There she left him waiting on the beach for over an hour while she ventured off to get some food.  She returned with vibrant pokè bowl in hand.  She gave him the first bite and that’s when he knew it was something special.  He looked at her and said “Do we have anything like this in Calgary?” and the answer was “no” and that’s how the idea of Po-ke was born.

Returning home they began to make their dreams a reality by bringing the traditional Hawaiian dish with the incorporation of Japanese and West Coast flavors to Calgary. At Po-ke we only source the freshest ingredients to give you the highest quality products that you can taste. We believe in a healthy lifestyle. Not only does our food look good, it tastes great.
