Varied bowls with fresh ingredients. I like how they have a lot of aburi stuff. Got the torched paradise, which had both torched tuna and salmon, nice sweet tamago, and lots of vibrant greens. Price is ok and they have daily specials that make things cheaper. Mainly a takeout spot but they have a few bar seats and a two-seater table if you want to dine in. read more

Fresh ingredients and colourful presentation. Portion sizes are a good size, I ordered the large portion and found myself full from eating half of it, next time I will go with the regular size. I was looking for healthy options and something quick and filling, this was the perfect place. You have an option to choose your base, white rice, brown rice or mixed greens. You order at the counter, and there is a few seats if you feel inclined to eat there. Inside the store feels bright and has a beach like feeling upon entering. I would come back to try other items. read more

This is my new pokebowl go to! I don't really enjoy other locations anymore and order from here. I love their selection of sauces: Honey Onion and Truffle Mayo combo is to die for! I always add in extra toppings crab salad and cucumber kimchi for that extra spice. I do ask to sub wasabi mayo for a regular one. The staff has called me should they not have a certain topping or sauce available. Other places would just not put anything and serve it that way. The place is on Hwy 7 and Woodbine beside the Hilton. It's under the condos by the S Town Centre entrance. Place is small but has a couple of seats if you want to eat in. I always get take out. The only one star off is I feel like they can add in a little bit more sauce, then it would be perfect. I will surely go here again! read more

ONO Poke Bar - Torched salmon - Hawaiian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Mediocre at best... Tried ONO because it's steps away from my house and thought I'd give it a fair chance. It's a small place with 4 bar seats. I had low expectations and it met me there. It didn't taste like anything, it was really bland and boring. Sorry to say, but I won't be returning. There are definitely other options in and around Markham with better quality and portions. Go if you're in a pinch and you're steps away from this place. It's expensive for what you get, but they have daily specials. Someone else's review of this place is exactly how my experience was, I don't want to repeat and/or drag the business. read more

Finally tried Ono Poke Bar after recommendation from a friend. Ordered it through a food delivery app so I can't comment on the the service they provide at the store or tmthe ambiance. I ordered Kabayaki Unagi which came in 1 size - large. As mentioned by other yelpers, it's not a lot of food and it's not filled to or close to the top. I was not full off of it, but I felt ok. The unagi had unagi sauce on it but the rest of the bowl had no sauce on it (cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes). I wish there was an option to add more sauce. Overall rating - 3/5. Might need to try a different choice. Not in a rush to try again. read more

When searching this place up on Google, I noticed they had an option to order via Ritual with no difference in pricing so I opted to do so as I felt it was easier to build my own bowl being able to have all the options laid out in front of me with all the prices listed. I ended up getting a snack size BYOB and the Big Island, which only comes in their regular size. It took about 15 mins between me placing my order and it being ready for pick up. Upon entering, your first impression is that the shop is quite small. The place looked relatively clean at a glance. My encounter was short but the service was good. My takeout was packaged well and so, travelled well with everything staying intact and still looking beautiful in presentation. Freshness and flavor were both there, which is probably the most important thing when it comes to poke. Overall, most of their packaging was sustainable. With paper-made bowls and bags, while the lid is clear plastic and they use plastic forks (but you can also opt for wooden chopsticks!) read more

ONO Poke Bar - two bowls of food on a table - Hawaiian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

New Year (re)solutions on healthy eats! Making my healthy choices Ono Poké Bar, a Hawaiian Asian-inspired poke bowl restaurant that takes pride in using quality ingredients and flavourful sauces! Ono Poké Bar just SOFT OPENED its Markham store on Chinese New Year 2022 ^^ It is located in the same plaza as Gal Sushi. They took over where Pokewave used to be. There is one table inside if you wish to dine-in, please be sure to show your vaccination! I would highly recommend Kabayaki Unagi Bowl ($16.99) and the Taro chips ($3.50, thick cut). Both are so flavourful, and I'd love to order them again! If you want something lighter, the Classic Salmon is also a great choice! You can also DIY your own poké bowl too! read more

Awesome poke spot. Lots of fresh ingredients. Great make your own bowl options. It's a really small spot I think it has seating for 3 along the window but seems like a take out spot. Service was fast. Thoroughly enjoyed. The daily specials are worth it. read more

ONO Poke Bar - Daily special for Monday- salmon bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I got the classic salmon & spicy mango bowl. If you're looking to a healthy alternative to poke bowls, this place is for you. Everything taste very fresh & clean plus all their sauces are homemade. I also got the thick cut taro chips which for some reason was too sweet so unfortunately not my favorite kind of taro chips. The ladies there are really nice & helpful. Even though it is takeout, the service was impeccable! read more

Finally tried ONO Poke Bar after passing by it several times while grabbing bubble tea in the area. They have a number of signature poke bowls, including some which come in snack sized portions. One has the option of building one's own poke bowl. The staffer serving us was friendly. They also offer a loyalty stamp card which is not something you see at other poke places. Hubby and I personally enjoyed the ONO Torched Paradise bowl. It came with torched tuna and torched salmon, furikake, taro chips, avocado, seaweed salad, crabmeat salad, pickled ginger, mango, tamago, green onions and terivaki mayonnaise. One can choose a base of white rice, brown rice, greens, or a mix of two of these. We got half brown rice and half greens. We found the ingredients to be fresh, and there was plenty of protein in the bowl. We liked that the torched fish is something we haven't encountered at other poke establishments that we've been to. At $19.99 for a large poke bowl, it does seem a tad steep in price. I appreciated that they offer 15% discount to frontline healthcare workers with proof of ID. Not sure why they have so many 1 star reviews but our experience was positive and will most likely return to try more of the poke bowl options. read more

Had the Saikoro steak with white rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, wonton chips, torched cheese, green onion, red cabbage, red onion, furnace, and togarashi mayo sauce. I omitted the mushrooms. This is one of the few poke places I have been to that has meat options like both steak and chicken. For me, this made it one of my new favorites. read more

This spot offers daily offers as well as monthly specials for walk-in orders! For the month of July, they are featuring their ONO TORCHED TUNA in addition to these amazing offers, you will also be able to get 10% off your purchase in exchange for a Google review. Their bowls are huge and super loaded with a large assortment of fresh ingredients & toppings. I love the variety and different textures of the bowls however, one thing is that I personally would have preferred a bit more sauce in my bowls. read more

I'm always excited to try new poke places as it gets boring to always eat Poke Guys. I tried the build your own bowl option since I'm picky about my toppings. I was excited to try the taro chips which are an unusual offering and available to order as a side as well. The chips were great and added a crunch to the poke bowl, but I found the rest of it kind of bland. It definitely tasted more on the healthy side which may be what some people are looking for, but I prefer the marinated poke that most other places offer. read more

For the price, one is better off going to Poke Guys. I ordered the Big Island and the Classic Salmon bowl. While the toppings were alright for both bowls, it doesn't come together well as it's SO DRY and bland. The server barely put any sauce on. You basically get a bowl of plain/brown rice or mixed greens with toppings. Would not recommend. One of the blandest poke bowls I have ever had. They also forgot to put crab salad in one of the bowls which was unfortunate as we paid extra for it. read more

ONO is right, because that's exactly what I said after taking my first bite. I love poke, but this did not cure my hankering. Maybe it's because I ordered through Uber eats, but I don't think I would give it another try. The quality wasn't really an issue but more so the taste. It just didn't really taste that good. Maybe it's slightly cheaper than other poke spots but I'd rather pay more for something a little better. Nothing is seasoned. Everything is bland and the only thing you have to tie in the flavours is the sauce. You need the premium toppings like the seaweed salad and crab salad to carry the flavours together. The portion of fish is really small and it's not enough for the amount of rice and other veggies you get. It doesn't taste like poke, it tastes like salad. I was more surprised that the fish wasn't seasoned. I tried a piece on its own and it's just cut up unseasoned fish. Yes I know that's what poke is, but usually places will marinade it in soy sauce or something at the very least. Sad to say it was not very good. I had to add ingredients from home to make it more palatable. I've made better poke at home with less ingredients. Imagine eating sushi but they forgot to season the rice. That's pretty much what this tasted like, but cut the portion of fish in half. I was looking forward to trying the crab salad the most but they forgot to include it with the order. What a shame since that probably would have added some much needed flavour. read more

TLDR - ONO Poke is a good addition in the neighbourhood. I will patronize when I am nearby, but it is not a place that I will make a trip for. As a poke place, ONO is good enough to warrant returning but not enough to rave about it or make a trip. 3 of us visited once for lunch. We ordered in person to get the loyality card stamped. Pro - Ingredients were fresh. - Services was friendly. - Snack size was a small lunch portion. - Daily promotion item was well priced (about $12 for snack size) - Loyality card stamped when order in person Con - In person ordering comes with a painful wait. It took almost an hour to get our 3 bowls ready. - None of our bowls were packed. There was a half inch or so gap from the bowl rim to the food. - If you have a healthy appetite, snack size won't cut it. And the large size is, unfortunately for the point above, not as big as the competitors' large bowls. read more

They are serving up some of their most delicious Hawaiian Asian inspired poke bowls which are loaded with fresh ingredients with a focus on quality and health.

Everything was very clean and light and naturally flavorful.

Kabayaki Unagi Unagi, crabmeat salad, cherry tomatoes, crispy wontons, masago, unagi tare sauce. Dont miss out on their current lunch special BOGO DEALexclusively at their Markham location.

First time visit their Markham location in July with a friend. Good healthy option for its price approx $15 for a snack bowl, decent size. Their snack size can be equivalent to a meal: I deducted two starts because I am disappointed with this points card system. First off, you can only collect their stamp when you order in store (hence ordering online to avoid wait time cannot go towards a stamp). The card says after four bowls you get the fifth one 25% off, then one free after nine stamps. Then I reached the 5th stamp (25% off), the worker says I can save it for another day if I'd like which I did. This time when I wanted to use my 25% off reward (about a month after my last purchase), they decide to change the system and said i cannot anymore and the new points system is either 25% off or free when you reach complete 10 bowls purchase. I feel like I'm being robbed every time I am close to a reward and that I need to buy more to get 25%. read more

I tried their torched salmon it's very fresh, the only thing I don't like would be it's a little bit over cooked. The sauce taste just right, not too salty, but next time I would definitely ask them for more sauce. Brown rice is soft enough and the texture was perfect! Customer service is exclusively great! This is a gem for the Markham area if you are looking for a poke place to go. They actually have loyalty program to get discount with multiple visits. Will definitely go back! read more

Has been to this location many times, they have been offering monthly special since summer, quite of a deal! Good place for a healthy meal. I like the new roasted sesame sauce, matches so well with their Aburi torched tuna bowl. Will keep coming! read more

Salmon bowl had absolutely no flavour. All the ingredients mixed just tasted weird and very bland. I think the owner needs to taste it for themselves. The beef & chicken bowl was not fresh, the beef was hard to chew and very salty while the rest of the bowl tasted like nothing. I would much rather visit Poke Guys or another other poke restaurant would be better off. read more

One of the worst poke bowls ive ever had. It was like eating a salad with no dressing on rice. Not sure why they replaced pokewave.

Wish I could give a positive rating for this place since the other reviews looked very promising but this had to be the worst poke bowl I've ever had. This location replaced Poke Wave. First thing that put us off was the amount of time it took to prepare the poke bowl. We waited 20 minutes for 2 orders. I've never had to wait that long at any poke spot. It's usually quite fast since you just assemble the bowl and you're good to go. Not sure why it took so long here. I got the snack size of the torched salmon poke. Portion is extremely small, I'd say it's about 60% of what you'd normally get at other poke spots for the same size. The torched salmon comes with wasabi mayo and it was absolutely disgusting. The wasabi mayo was a literal mouthful of wasabi each bite and made the entire bowl inedible because of the powerful wasabi kick with each bite. Halfway through I found my chest hurting from the burn.. never had this happen to me with wasabi mayo before. Aside from the sauce, all the other ingredients in the bowl were very bland. The other order we got was the ahi tuna honey. Both the tuna and the salmon were cut into very small pieces and did not look very fresh contrary to other reviews that I see. This order was also very bland and the honey does not pair well with the ahi tuna. There was also pears in this bowl which were slightly bitter and very mushy. Very very very disappointed. This was an absolutely terrible meal. read more
