Yummy Poke bowls

We were a little disappointed no dogs allowed especially as the restaurant was completely empty. Something about position of the kitchen? Anyway very friendly guy served us with takeaway poke bowls coffee and cookies all delicious. Everything is made in house from scratch using TVP for the mock meats. Highly recommend

Pros: Everything , Cookies, Coffee

Cons: Dogs not allowed , No outside seating

Great vibe, nice food and staff

Nice and friendly with a great vibe and decor. I think they also do take away. Centrally located. Great list of desserts although I was too full to face one. Next time.

You have to try here!

Amazing place! The food is stunning and really inventive. It's so nice to have some really different and interesting options! The mock chicken on the bubble waffles is the most realistic mock meat I think I've ever had- absolutely amazing! Don't miss this!

Amazing Food

First visit to Kanu Poke and it won’t be the last.
The service was great, loved the whole atmosphere and the menu was very varied.
I had a wonderful salad bowl but the star for me was the three different homemade ice creams with miso caramel sauce. Each one was so different and you could taste the individual ingredients.

Pros: Original food, Great service, Colourful, atmospheric cafe

Cons: Nothing

Incredible

I’ve followed these guys on Facebook for ages, but they’re an hour away so couldn’t really justify the drive just for food. Happened to be working in the area Friday so I had to get some food and it was truly amazing, so fresh and flavoursome, I am already desperate to go back!

Fab Food - Great decor - lovely staff

Pros: Poke bowl, Atmosphere, Staff

Cons: Too far from Worcester!

Unreal top notch food

Every single time they knock it out the park with flavours I'd have never put together or even heard of. George obviously does a lot of research and sources things from all over the world. The only thing nicer than the food and drinks is George himself what a lovely bloke.

Pros: The bubble waffle with miso syrup 🤤, The purple latte 💜, George

Cons: Are , You, Joking?

The Mochi Doughnut balls are a must try

Not from the area but stopped off midway through a long journey.

We came here as they offer a take away menu (dogs not allowed). They had various option and a meal deal for a tenner - poke bowl, drink and cookie.

Poke bowl was fresh and filling, homemade lemonade definitely hit the spot on a hot day and a soft chewy cookie to finish.

Because I’m greedy/intrigued I also had the mochi doughnut balls with a miso caramel dip.

Highly recommend this place.

A wonderful place

A very lively and welcoming space filled with beautiful art, topped off with great food.

The bubble pancake and chick’n was delicious! And the mango unchained mocktail was fantastic! Teriyaki rice was flavour some Teriyaki didn’t get to the plantain so I’ll guess I’ll have to come back some time.

Pros: Priced fairly, Wholesome & flavoursome , All vegan!

Something a little bit different

This is a really interesting and refreshing menu with lots of unusual flavour profiles and combos which is always exciting. I've been several times now with friends and we've always enjoyed what we've had. It's not a big place so I'd recommend booking ahead, but the staff are super friendly and is a fab addition to Shrewsbury's food scene.

Gorgeous gluten free vegan food!

We were delighted to get food from here - sadly not dog friendly and we were travelling back from a festival with our rescue pup, but they do take out, so we were able to sit by the river to enjoy our food. Meal deal is a good idea and the chewy black sesame cookie is like a brownie! Yum! I had a tofu and coconut curry and my daughter had a poke bowl. Hope to return next time we are in Shrewsbury.

Pros: All gluten free , Big range, Fully vegan

Cons: Not dog friendly

Amazing poke bowl!

I loved it here. The mocktails were delicious, the venue was lovely and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the beef bowl but the tofu bowl was very tasty too.

Great food options

Booked with a table of 6-which can always be a bit tricky for staff, but all worked well, everyone very happy. I loved the sticky miso, really great flavours!

Pros: Lovely place for groups and couples. , Really friendly team,, Great food

Cons: The wait. It was even longer than we were,, Expecting after reading reviews. But worth it

Special

The food was very special. Lots of interesting flavours and textures. Good to look at too. The decor is very colourful and also interesting to look at and the music sounded good with lots of genuine rock/reggae/world music classics. Unfortunately the food took too long to arrive despite it being very quiet. We were eventually told that there was a problem with the induction hob, but we remember a long wait on our first visit last year, too. The quality of the food was almost worth it. The reason I don't give the highest rating is solely because of the waiting time.

Pros: The food, The food, The food

Cons: The wait , The wait, The wait

Unbelievably Good Food

If you're in Shrewsbury, vegan or not, you really must visit Kanu Poké. It really is unbelievably good Pacific Fusion food, the staff are always so friendly and welcoming and the decor and ambience are second to none. It's a carnival for the senses, in the best possible way. I can heartily recommend the Cow Kanu Skewers, the Forbidden Poké Bowl and the Bubble Waffle with Drunken Monkey ice-cream, but everything I have tried has been delicious, so do yourself a favour and go pay them a visit.

Pros: Delicious Food , Fantastic Ambience , Friendly Staff

More Poke than you can shake a stick at!

Having been visiting the team at Kanu Poke regularly since they opened, we have tried and tested most of the menu which I can say doesn’t not have a bad item on it. The ingredients are greasy and selected with care for each dish to really bring out the flavour. The creative specials always make for a good choice…. And the jerky to start is that best. To the point where I’ve asked if I can have 3 months works just for home! #Veganuary
