It was my first time trying Poke Guys and I was impressed how busy they are despite competitions from other restaurants serving Poke bowls.During my visit, I noted some observations that made them special: Using only fresh ingredients /toppings Seafood is marinated to enhance taste Have unique ingredients: spicy seaweed salad, kimchi, coleslaw Customers can put as much garnish and sauces to their bowls Daily specials: free upgrade, free drinks, discounts The Cali Bowl was so fresh! My only comment is that my bowl was a little watery maybe due to the shrimp's sauce. read more

Great spot to grab lunch! It can get busy during rush hour. There are quite a lot of options for building your bowl and base. I appreciate the amount of toppings that come with pre-built bowls and nothing was extra charge. Everything tasted fresh. The workers were friendly and welcoming. The interior is designed well and looks clean! read more

Generous portions and nice staff. Mauna Loa is on the spicier side but I would go for the PG and Cali. Check out their daily specials if it peaks your interest. read more

Poke Guys is really close to my workplace so I decided to get lunch there with my coworkers. We ordered the poke bowls on a food delivery app for pick up and the process was very smooth, from selecting the toppings to getting our order accepted. They have a few poke base to choose from such as white rice, brown rice, soba noodles, and salad. The poke bowls were done in 10 mins after ordering and it was smooth pick up when we arrived. I like that the salmon was well marinated and they use salmon belly so it has a more softer, fattier texture which I really love. I'll definitely order from Poke Guys again next time I'm in the office! read more

It's been a go-to spot for Poke for me and purchase like twice over the month. Their new bases, soba, cauliflower rice, and zucchini noodles, are delicious and not many poke places offer it if at all. My recent purchase was their new fire fin offering. Pretty good though I'm not a fan of the jalapeno peppers as a topping too intense for me. It does pack a punch with the jalapenos and kimchi if you like it spicy. Hefty fresh portions, love the garnishes and sauces to complete the meal. Large is a good size for sharing, and regular is enough to fill me up and more. read more

They serve delicious poke bowls, invented in Hawaii. Their ingredients are always fresh and flavourful. Our favourite bowl is the Aloha Bowl. There are signature bowls (small $12.75 and large $15.75 - prices have increased in 2021). The large size is enough for 2 people. There is also a building-your-own-bowl option (regular $10.75, large $14.00). Their portions are actually quite large (one portion of protein is actually 2 scoops)! Service has always been good. This is my wife's favourite Poke restaurant in Toronto. We've been to this restaurant 5 times since Nov 2019. On 2021-08-06, we chose the following for our build-your-own bowl ($10.75): soba noodles (base), classic Shoyu salmon (protein 1 scoop), sweet & spicy shrimp (protein 1 scoop), mango, creamy togarashi (sauce), spicy unagi (sauce), and garnishes (B&W sesame seeds, crispy onions, crispy garlic, nori, watermelon radish, tempura bits). We were pleasantly surprised by the number of shrimp and salmon pieces we got in the bowl! On our 2020-09-18 visit, we got 2 different bowls: 1. Cali Bowl (large $15.75 - $16.50 in 2021): white rice, classic Shoyu salmon & tuna, avocado, crab meat slaw, masago, fried onions, nori, and B&W sesame seeds. 2. Aloha Bowl (large $15.75 - $16.25 in 2021): white rice,  honey ginger salmon, crab meat slaw, edamame, seaweed salad, masago, fried onions, and B&W sesame seeds. Added unagi sauce and spicy aioli sauce. On our 2020-07-23 visit, we got the following bowl: 1. Cali Bowl with Yuzu salmon and soba noodles (large $22.25). There are no indoor or outdoor seating areas. There is a park across the street with several picnic tables. During pandemic times, customers and staff wear face masks. There are plexiglass between the staff (and food) and customers. There is music playing in the background. There are no free WiFi or customer washrooms. It is wheelchair accessible.  Parking is not easy with only a few street parking spots. There is a parking garage at Yonge and Bloor and it is near the Dundas and St. Patrick subway stations.

The first time I tried Poke Guys was through the Yelp Elite event, and I thought it was so delicious I had to get it a second time. I ordered through a delivery app and this time I got the volcano bowl on soba, and had it with the yuzu shoyu and creamy togarashi sauce. Honestly, the togarashi sauce was applied way too heavy-handidly and it kind of ruined the entire dish. Which is weird because I had the same sauce combination when I got it the first time and they put a reasonable amount. All I could taste when eating this time was the mayonnaise, and it totally drowned out the delicate flavours of the fish and soba. This could be just a personal preference, but I also felt like the fish was cut into way too large chunks. I wish they were diced a little smaller so they could be spread out more evenly while I'm eating. Such a disappointment because the first time I had Poke Guys was one of the best Pokes I've had in the city. Whereas this last time was honestly a bit of a miss for me. Even though this last experience wasn't great I'll give them 4 stars because I think (and hope) it was just a one off. Poke Guys does a lot of things right. I love the wide variety of garnishes, and I also love all the unique bases they have such as soba and cauliflower rice. I will just stay clear from any creamy sauces in the future. read more

I came here hungry and craving sashimi and salad. Poke was the perfect choice. The staff here are welcoming and attentive. Even when they're busy they're communicative and let you know you're next up. It was my first experience here and the staff explained the process for building my own bowl thoroughly. I went with honey ginger salmon and spicy shrimp with mango, avocado and spicy seaweed salad on kale with spicy unagi sauce. My dude didn't make me feel guilty for adding on all the toppings lol. After making my bowl, my man put the bowl on the table for photo ops before putting on the lid knowing I'm a yelper. The mango and avocado was ripe to perfection and the salmon was fatty and tender. The whole bowl was flavor city, beautiful and bright! Spicy level was mild. This place is strictly take out but right across the street is a cute little parkette with benches and tables and plenty of green to help make you feel like you're not in the city. I'd definitely come back for a poke fix. read more

I had the mauna lao bowl (volcano bowl) for the first time yesterday! I always get the cali bowl but I wanted to try something new. The mauna lao bowl has spicy shoyu salmon, spicy seaweed salad, spicy cucumber, edamame, masago, fried onions, and jalapenos. I asked for 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 spring mix with extra jalapenos. Overall, the bowl was spicy but not unbearable and it added an extra degree of deliciousness to the bowl. The portion is excellent, I was able to put some of the protein and toppings aside for another meal with plain white rice. Personally, I think the portions they give are generous and was happy about the amount of fish and toppings they give. However, I still think the cali bowl is my favourite! I will definitely try the aloha bowl next time. I ordered via Ritual and it was ready within 10 minutes. Poke Guys are complying with COVID-safety precautions. Great customer service as well. read more

My rating is 4.5 stars. I have been a fan of Poke Guys for a while. In the past, when we had Yelp events before this pandemic (it feels like eons), poke bowls were offered and I got hooked. After visiting this downtown location, I can finally say that I have visited both locations. Downtown Markham is its other location. During Buy One Get What?! around the GTA, one of the offers was at this Poke Guys location. If you buy one signature poke bowl, you get your second one at 50% the regular price. Did I really need two poke bowls? Do fish swim? On a rare Monday off from work, I visited my hometown and stopped here to get lunch. The reason for not giving a five-star review is that parking wasn't available along Elizabeth Street, which was unfortunate. Luckily, there was the parking lot under Nathan Phillips Square. However, if you're a Markhamite who needs a car to get home, it's not the best setup. It's one of many things I miss about living in Toronto. I would have taken the TTC here and wouldn't have thought about parking. I walked in and was greeted by a woman who was fulfilling a takeout order. Her counterpart was sitting at a table that was meant for employees, eating lunch. Most people would be annoyed to have waited a minute to be helped, but it gave me some time to look at the menu and take photos. I ordered the following bowls, both regular in size: - Cali with mixed greens - Aloha with soba noodles My go-to is the first one. I have never had soba noodles at Poke Guys, so I gave it a shot. The woman was so nice. She asked what other toppings and sauces I wanted. I also grabbed a Diet Coke from the beverages section. I paid with a debit card. It was seamless. She packed everything up for me in a plastic bag, including plastic utensils and chopsticks. I thanked her and walked over to Larry Sefton Park to chow down. I ate the Cali bowl first, simply because mixed greens taste better fresh. Fresh is the first word that comes to mind. The crab and protein had tons of flavour. The veggies were crisp. I loved the seaweed and avocado. It's simply my favourite poke bowl. For dinner, I had the aloha bowl. That crab slaw is addictive. The soba noodles held up well several hours later. I liked them. I will order soba noodles more often! Everything tasted fresh. I was impressed. Whenever I'm back in this area, I will definitely stop by. Here's hoping that I will either be lucky parking on the street or will relive my days as a commuter in my hometown. (383) read more

I refuse to get poke from anywhere else now. The large bowl is LARGE. They do not skimp on the fish and every product tastes nice and fresh. They have unique things like the watermelon radish. None of this takes away from the start of the show, which is the fish. I cannot reiterate enough.. THE PORTIONS!!! read more

Sushi lovers unite! Second time trying Poké and it was delicious! When I hear, Poké, I just wanna say Pokémon. So let's get that outta the way. Pokémon. There are other connections that can be made, depending on the associations you have. However, this review is about the FOOOOD. So let's get to it. If you are new to Poké, or don't know what it is, it's a sushi grade style of raw fish, marinating in soy sauce and sesame oil, as a topper they add scallions, lumi (a type of seaweed) and Hawaiian onions. I consider it a dish remniscient of a salad, yet, it's often called a bowl. I gather it's a choice to have it on a bed of greens and veggies (salad) or on rice or other grain (bow). It features ingredients close to the sea, like raw fish, seaweed, there's edamame (not from the sea) and other vegetables. Most places I would say you could build your own, and select ingredients of your choosing, which is always a bonus. And the Poké Guys delivered on that! First time I tried Poké was in Winnepeg and there are spots popping up all over the city. It's always nice trying some place new. If raw fish isn't for you, maybe they have an option that you'd like, however a signature part of Poké is in fact the raw fish. Perhaps reconsider if you don't like sushi. Okay, this is being written a couple years later so it's hard to recall fully what my experience was. However, I remember the colours! Anytime there are a variety of colours on a dish it makes it pretty and more enjoyable to eat. Also Poké having origins in Hawaii and/or Japan, bespeaks to me, of health. I also remember it being good. Kinda skeptical and scared to even eat it, I mean, it has raw fish and the blend of ingredients I made, I didnt know if it would taste good, yet it did and it always does! I remember we were hungry and diving in was easy. Having these images brings me back to the day, and looking at them now makes me wanna go out and get a bowl. Enjoy! read more

This has been one of my favourite poke spots for a while; they have good quality ingredients and a diverse selection of toppings. I used to think they had the best quality poke / fish of all the spots in Toronto, but the quality today was pretty average. The toppings were good though, especially the seaweed salad. This spot is definitely worth a try. read more

How have I not reviewed this place? I really like how all the poke is actually marinated. Very flavourful. The variety of toppings and sauces are great! The portions are quite generous and I always feel satisfied. There's no guilt either since everything is pretty healthy! The best part is their service. Welcoming and helpful. Great spot for a reasonably priced takeout lunch in the heart of downtown! read more

A small hidden spot in a little street in downtown core, easy to pass by and don't realize them there... so be sure to find them! The ingredients were very tasty and fresh, variety of choices for the base and the toppings too! The portion is very generous, everything comes in a good quantity. The ONLY downside for me was that many pieces of salmon had the skin still on, not properly removed. It gives a too strong fishy/fat taste and texture is not nice. The guys are very nice, kind and helpful, they explained everything step by step, all the options and the ingredients! Will be back for sure to give it another tried on the different options! read more

Walked into the store and was greeted by the one employee that was working the floor. She was busily serving a customer and making a Skip the Dishes order. After me, another three customers walked in so she called her coworker out from the back for a hand. She was very friendly. I was heavily debating between what to get but ended up opting for the MAUNA LOA BOWL (regular size) since I usually love a good level of spice to my poké bowls. I also got the crispy garlic bits, pickled ginger, nori, and sesame seeds to top it all off. I wasn't too big on the spicy cucumbers, both in flavor and because it made my bowl too wet... But I thoroughly enjoyed everything else. This might also be because they don't put a lot of rice in their bowls, unlike other places. I actually would have preferred more rice to balance off the other components of the bowl. Most importantly, everything tasted fresh. My next menu item to check off the list is their Cali Bowl, which sounds amazing as well. Being dinner time, there were quite a lot of people sitting in to eat, in groups. read more

Ok these guys are my fav poke bow in the city. Hands down the best portion sizes quality of sashimi and free toppings they offer cannot be beat! The sauces are all amazing and the price is sooooo reasonable for what you get! If you haven't been here yet don't hesitate just do it. read more

Based on my coworker's recommendation, I tried Poke Guys. They have options to build your own box, get the preset Signature Bowls or just get the poke alone. Compares to the other Poke place I usually go, they offer less choices of base and topping. However, The Signature Bowls have some good selection. First time I had the Cali Bowl which I find they put too much sauce and overrode the flavor of everything else. The brown rice was not cooked. First experience hindered me to visit them again. However, I visited Poke Guys with the Ritual incentive. This time I had the PG Bowl which I enjoyed very much. The flavor was well balanced and refreshing. This place is very packed during lunch hour, so make sure you have plenty of time to wait in line or order online, and seating is limited. read more

Poke Guys - PG Bowl - nice combination - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Seeking a quick and refreshing lunch? Poke Guys' joint does not disappoint. When I visited, their line was out the door which is always a good sign, even if the ordering counter starts near the entrance. Cali Bowl was just right for the dreary snowy day! It was filled to the brim with chunks of shoyu salmon & ahi tuna along with crab meat slaw, avocado and spicy aioli sauce on top of rice. Sure, the fish and toppings were tasty but it was their unique garnishes such as watermelon radish and furikake that made the difference in the meal. A visit to Poke Guys was worth the trek despite the slushy roads. I'll certainly be back again for another worth-it meal when I'm craving a poke bowl. read more

Have wanted to try poke guys for a year now and decided to split the large hui hou bowl with my boyfriend for a light dinner. Other reviewers said the portion size was more than enough for two meals but I think it's closer to one filling meal. We asked for less rice and more salad, but there was still a lot of rice hidden underneath the seemingly generous toppings. The salmon seemed decently fresh, but it's hard to tell when it's dressed in a sauce. Service was fantastic. The server was very friendly and accommodating, and made our bowl beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by how much seaweed salad she added, and really enjoyed the yuzu mayo sauce. To be honest, I wouldn't come back again. But that's largely because I prefer maki rolls, sashimi, and tempura when I'm craving raw fish. Poke bowls are a nice and interesting alternative to try, but especially given the price and quantity of rice ($15 + tax) I'd rather pay a bit more and get the variety at AYCE sushi and make my own mini bowl. read more

I had the volcano bowl with brown rice, all toppings, spicy aioli and creamy togarashi sauces and split it in half with my brother. The portion is actually much larger than the large bowl looks, it filled both our bellies up despite us both being pretty big eaters. And we definitely very much enjoyed that poke. With the jalapeno peppers and spicy aioli, the dish was quite spicy. The amount of salmon was a very generous portion and there was a large variety of ingredients and flavours incorporated into the bowl. There wasn't a single part I disliked, which is uncommon for a signature bowl. Note that poke served at poke guys is quite saucey. They'll put more sauce than other places, especially if you ask for two sauces; not quite as light as other poke places but it is much more savory. It's quite possibly the perfect thing to have after a long, tiring day at work. Otherwise, you can just ask for less sauce :) Highly recommend! read more

TIP#1: get a signature poke bowl for the most bang for your buck. TIP#2: unlimited toppings (sesame seeds, seaweed, rice crisps, ginger etc.) and you can get the sauce on the side! Got the Cali's bowl with a substitute of spring mix instead and added pineapples for extra cost. I absolutely loved the number of fruits in their toppings selection and also their garnish variety as well! The fish and veggie base was fresh too. Only complaint is they were very heavy handed with the sauce, but it surprisingly didn't effect the overall goodness of the poke though! I would easily come back for their amazing poke (and fruit selection) but just request for less sauce (: read more

They are available as take out or on most delivery apps, and poke is just the perfect delivery food! read more

Fresh, flavorful and healthy food at fast food speeds. I'm not a fan of raw fish so I'll rate PG through the taste buds of my hubby. We ordered the regular sized PG's bowl (white rice, salmon, corn, masago, edamame, kimchi, white and black sesame, fried onion and pickled red ginger) added octopus ($5 ouch!) topped with wasabi sauce and the Cali bowl (white rice, salmon, tuna, crab meat slaw, masago, avocado, black and white sesame, fried onion and nori bits) topped with spicy aioli sauce. Bowls are deceptively small but they are extremely filling and the harmony of flavors definitely left us satiated and full. There's a sign on their board that suggests you eat your bowl within 30 minutes for maximum freshness. Hubby enjoyed the Salmon, tuna and octopus but his favorite was the Salmon. Shout out to Cindy L. whose review and encouragement led us here. read more

I tried the regular-sized Build-Your-Own-Bowl, and I was able to combine 2 different types of protein (I had the Classic Shoyu Salmon and Honey & Ginger Salmon). It was 1 scoop each, and turned out to be quite generous for the bowl size. The toppings were fresh, and although I opted for the bowl without any sauce, it was still flavourful from the marinated fish and garnishes. I especially loved the green onions, nori seaweed, and fried onions & shallots as garnishes. I thought that the shoyu would be too salty, but it was actually perfectly seasoned. The Classic Shoyu Salmon came with cucumber slices, which added a nice crunch and gave it a refreshing taste. Overall, Poke Guys is one of the good places for poke in downtown Toronto. My only (slight) disappointment was that the "kale" base (as advertised on the menu) came as lettuce / regular mixed greens. Not a deal breaker though, it was still a wholesome bowl with great and fast customer service. read more

The tuna had so much flavor and it was so fresh. I tried the crab meat slaw because everyone was raving about it. I do not like coleslaw, but I did like their take on it. I love the variety of options that are available and the friendly staff. I will definitely come back to Poke Guys the next time I'm in town. read more

Favourite poke place in Toronto, by far. + Located very close to Dundas square + You can create your own bowl or choose from a wide selection of standard bowls - my favourite is the cali bowl and the hui huo bowl + Serving size for how much you pay is well worth - I always get full from the regular size bowl alone + Large variety of toppings and sauces - I really like the watermelon radish and the wasabi mayo + They pack the bowl with toppings! I never had an employee who was stingy with the serving sizes + The fish always tastes fresh and is seasoned and marinated very well - I highly recommend the spicy shoyu if you are looking for something with a little kick + Available on uber eats!

Delicious! This is right around the corner from Eatons. The restaurant is cozy but has comfortable seating for lunch. It's better to order from their pre-set menu than make your own. It allows the workers to perform their jobs more efficiently and it's cheaper. I ordered the California bowl and it came to be about $13. I was a little worried because it didn't seem like they put enough Fishie on it. But they did! It was one of the most protein filled poke bowls I've had downtown. I got the creamy something sauce. Went so well with the bowl. There are people who come here for lunch but it wasn't overcrowded as I expected. The salmon was a little too salty but hopefully that was just a one off. read more

Ahh this is probably one of the better places to get poke bowl. Mainly for portion and taste! You get a lot for what you pay for! What I didn't like is how you can't really substitute a topping based on the pre-made bowls. Example: I'm allergic to crab meat but the bowl I wanted to get had crab meat slaw in it, which is a premium topping. I can't sub ot for another topping. Overall, it's pretty good, tasty,quick and quite healthy. Price range from 11-15 per bowl. read more

Location/Service It's on a side street along Dundas (near Tsujiri/Chatime area). The restaurant has a pink/red sign, so it's not too difficult to miss. Parking is available on the street or by a paid lot. Inside has a very simple interior. There's a few tables available if you want to dine in, but more of a grab and go layout. Staff were very nice, explained the menu very well and answered any questions. Food Shared a large Cali bowl, which has the classic salmon, tuna and crab meat. Seafood ingredients were fresh and a good portion. I chose brown rice, which was crunchy to taste (maybe not to everyone's standard). I liked how there are sauces and toppings to add if you are feeing adventurous and they're made fresh right in front of your eyes. Poke is really now a healthy trend in Toronto and there are multiple places to choose from. I didn't see this one any special compared to others, but having a convenient location and a quick go-to place adds a nice touch. read more

Poke Guys is steps away from my office. I wanted to love them, unfortunately, it didn't make the cut. There were many glitches at the time of my visit. I opted for the California bowl with White rice, salmon & ahi tuna classic shoyu, crab meat slaw, masago, fried onions, cucumber, nori, avocado black & white sesame seeds (originally $10, 50% off with Facebook check-in). Poke Guys ran out of almost everything when I visited - brown rice, fish toppings, crab meat slaw, etc.) I felt like I was getting scraps. To be frank, I did not find traces of ahi tuna in my California bowl. My bowl was also missing avocado advertised on their display board. I had to return to the cash for the addition of avocado. I could have overlooked everything IF, Poke Guys did not commit the deadliest sin in the book of cooking crime - raw rice. The rice was under cooked. It was very disappointing. While, the flavours of the bowl was great, under cooked rice cannot be forgiven. Update: I walked to Poke Guys to provide feedback for the owner last week - try the rice before serving as a quality control measure. Received private message from a fellow Yelper a week later on under cooked rice. Needless to say, the chance of me revisiting is very low. read more

My favourite poke place fo shizzlez. Kinda disappointed with how they already ran out of several toppings at just 12PM on a weekday. On the weekend, they seem to always be in stock. But when I went during the beginning of lunch, they had already sold out of several toppings like ginger and nori. Kinda sad cus i luuuuvv ginger & poke tgt :'( Anywayssss the poke here is always fresh!! Their chunks of fish are HUGEEE. Sometimes I do find their marinade to be a bit too salty, so I wouldn't recommend adding Shoyu as your sauce cus dat sodium tho. My fave bowl is still their Hui Hou... the Volcano (spicy) bowl is also good and it's actually SPICY; not a cute little tingle your tongue spicy, it's SPICY (ALL CAPS). Also, I like how you can get a salad base or a mix of rice (white or brown) + salad. Price wise, it's cheaper than Rolltation which is just down the street and I feel like the portions here are larger?? So I def prefer Poke Guys in this area. Fyi I also feel like they give double the amount of fish if you go during dinner time. Guess they gotta get rid of those perishables hehe and I will gladly eat them all. Pro tip?!?! read more

Poke Guys - Salmon poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Saw this place on blogTO when it first opened up maybe 2 months back. Never heard of Poke before, so when I saw there was a new business called "Poke Guys" I was thinking "poke? What's poke? Do they offer poking services? Perhaps this is an acupuncture place? But why would it be listed as a restaurant?" I decided to go with a regular PG bowl the first time around, and it was pretty filling. The large bowl is a bit flatter, so I'm not sure how much more food you get in there, but it's only a few dollars more. Haven't tried a customized bowl myself, but have seen others try it and paid more than just getting a signature bowl, so unless you must have certain ingredients, going with a signature bowl seems to work out better in terms of budget. The back of the building is quite interesting if you decide to go on an adventure to find the washroom. It looks like it's connected to a larger building so you're pretty much going through a series of hallways. Kind of amusing. Chopsticks were available the first time around, though at a subsequent visit they were not available for taking. Not sure if they decided to stop offering chopsticks or if they ran out. read more

I tried poke for the first time last week at Poke Guys. I did not like the food itself but I think the place deserves 4 stars. It was close to the end of the day when we got to Poke Guys so they were thoroughly cleaning up and packing everything. The place was extremely clean. I was really impressed by that. We ended up getting the volcano bowl, which really lived up to the name. It was super spicy, to the point that it was painful to eat. The salmon was fresh and I especially liked the edamame beans that were cooked perfectly. They were generous with the toppings (ginger, sesame seeds, jalapeno pepper, tempura bits, etc.) and the girl who prepared our food gave us samples of each sauce to try before adding them to our bowl. I just do not like poke in general. If you are a fan of poke though, definitely try Poke Guys! read more
