OUR STORY
BORN IN VANCOUVER.
SINCE 2016.
Founded by Jung Mo Moon, Pokerrito opened its first restaurant on Dunsmuir Street in downtown Vancouver in 2016.
What began with fresh poke bowls and sushi burritos has grown into a fast-casual restaurant brand serving communities across Metro Vancouver, Toronto and Mexico City.
Ten years later, we’re still evolving — while staying true to what started it all: fresh ingredients, bold flavours and food made your way.
IT STARTED WITH AN IDEA.
In 2016, founder Jung Mo Moon set out to create something different.
The idea was to bring together the freshness of poke, the familiar craft of sushi and the freedom of fast-casual dining — food that could be customized, approachable and full of flavour.
That idea became Pokerrito.
The first restaurant opened on Dunsmuir Street in downtown Vancouver, serving fresh poke bowls alongside sushi burritos wrapped in nori.
It was a simple beginning — one restaurant, one menu and a new name built around the food itself.
WHY POKERRITO?
POKE + BURRITO = POKERRITO.
From the beginning, we served poke in more than one way — in a bowl or wrapped in nori as a sushi burrito.
That combination became our name and part of our identity.
Our menu has evolved since 2016, but the idea behind Pokerrito remains simple:
Fresh ingredients. Bold flavours. Made your way.
WE STARTED WITH POKE.
WE DIDN’T STOP THERE.
Fresh poke is where Pokerrito began.
From the start, we served fresh poke bowls alongside sushi burritos, bringing together fresh ingredients, Asian-inspired flavours and the freedom to customize every meal.
But our menu never stood still.
Over the years, Pokerrito has evolved with the way our guests eat.
Today, Torched Warm Bowls have become a defining part of Pokerrito — combining warm rice, freshly prepared proteins and bold Asian-inspired flavours, finished with heat.
Sometimes you want something fresh and clean.
Sometimes you want something warm, savoury and comforting.
At Pokerrito, you can have both.
We still love the fresh poke that started it all. We’ve simply found more ways to make Pokerrito yours.
TORCHED. WARM. FRESH.
FROM VANCOUVER, OUTWARD.
2016 — VANCOUVER
Jung Mo Moon opens the first Pokerrito on Dunsmuir Street in downtown Vancouver.
METRO VANCOUVER
One restaurant grows into neighbourhood locations across Metro Vancouver.
TORONTO
Pokerrito expands east, bringing the brand to Toronto.
MEXICO CITY
Pokerrito goes international with its first location in Mexico City.
What started as one Vancouver restaurant has grown across markets and borders — while staying connected to where Pokerrito began.
TEN YEARS.
STILL EVOLVING.
The Pokerrito menu today looks different from the one we opened with in 2016.
And we think that’s a good thing.
Fresh poke remains part of our foundation.
Sushi burritos remain part of our identity.
And Torched Warm Bowls represent where Pokerrito continues to evolve.
We keep exploring new flavours, new formats and new ways to give our guests something worth coming back for.
But some things haven’t changed.
Fresh ingredients. Generous choices. Food made for the person ordering it.
OUR COMMITMENT
GOOD FOOD COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY.
As Pokerrito grows, we continue to make thoughtful choices about the ingredients we serve, the seafood we source, the packaging we use and the way we operate our restaurants.
OCEAN WISE® SEAFOOD

OCEAN WISE
Small choices add up, and growing Pokerrito also means continuing to do better.
BORN IN VANCOUVER.
STILL EVOLVING.
From fresh poke and sushi burritos in 2016 to the Torched Warm Bowls we serve today, Pokerrito has changed a lot over the past ten years.
But the idea is still simple.
Fresh food. Bold flavour. Made your way.
THIS IS POKERRITO.
