VANCOUVER, BC - Steve's Poké Bar has been the talk of the town since its inception, introducing a genuine Hawaiian culinary experience to the heart of Vancouver. It is more than just a restaurant; it's a story of family, heritage, and the love of poké. Steve Huynh, the trailblazing founder, graced Canada from a Malaysian refugee camp, bringing with him not only the dreams of a brighter future but the authentic flavors of Hawaiian poké from his time split between Vancouver and Honolulu.
In the spirit of true Aloha, Steve, along with his wife Camy, decided to share their passion for poké through Steve’s Poké Bar, established in 2017. This dining destination has since become the epitome of tropical indulgence miles away from the sandy shores of Oahu. Pioneering the poké trend in Vancouver, Steve's Poké Bar has transformed the city's food landscape, garnering a loyal following craving for their childhood comfort food turned culinary sensation.
Before 2016, the concept of poké was relatively unknown in Vancouver. Today, Steve's Poké Bar has catalyzed the transformation of poké from a simple mixture of diced raw fish, seasonings, and rice to an expansive culinary trend featuring fusion flavors, and even poké burritos. Steve has remained steadfast in his mission to preserve the time-honored methods of preparing authentic Hawaiian poké, a culinary tradition he holds close to his origins.
The menu at Steve's Poké Bar boasts a remarkable lineup of classic poké bowls, underpinned by the freshest ingredients and the tradition-steeped preparation methods. As per Steve, what sets their poké apart isn’t just the recipe, but the reverence for the way it’s served – just like back home in Hawaii. Customers can enjoy the staple poké experience or tailor their meal with an array of delightful toppings for a complete gastronomic adventure, true to the spirit of customization that is much loved by Vancouver's eclectic patrons.
Steve’s journey from humble beginnings to poké prominence is as inspiring as it is appetizing. His life, parted between the urban backdrop of Vancouver and the tropical landscapes of Honolulu, is neatly narrated in every bowl served at his establishments. For Camy, her transformation from averse to aficionado when it comes to raw fish dishes speaks volumes about the transformative power of poké, especially when it's made with love and authenticity.
Since its inception, Steve's Poké Bar hasn't just been a place to grab a quick bite; it's a cultural phenomenon that embarks patrons on a culinary voyage to the heart of Hawaii. Each bite encapsulates the warmth of the islands and the genuine essence of Hawaiian hospitality. It's this ethos that has propelled Steve’s Poké Bar and spurred the opening of multiple locations across the Lower Mainland.
Their journey toward spreading genuine Hawaiian food culture has not gone unnoticed. With franchising opportunities, the brand is expanding, and enthusiastic entrepreneurs are invited to join in the mission of delivering Hawaiian happiness through the universal language of poké. This presents a unique chance for like-minded individuals to become a part of a burgeoning culinary venture that values authentic experiences and the sharing of cultures.
The story of Steve’s Poké Bar is one of resilience, tradition, and the power of a shared meal. As the brand grows, so does its community of poké enthusiasts, connected through a mutual love for Hawaii’s signature dish. Steve and Camy extend a heartfelt mahalo to their patrons for embracing their love of poké and for allowing them to share a slice of Hawaiian life with Vancouver.
