There's a bunch of pre-selected items that are delicious that you can choose from so it's not too overwhelming the first time you go. The service is friendly and patient and explained all the questions you may have. It is quite pricey though, at about $20 a bowl. I do which it came with more protein but it's delicious regardless! Great spot if you want something quick & healthy. You can either dine or take out it's a great spot. 4/5

The protein variety is pretty good here and it's fun to build your own and choose your favs. The first time we tried it, we got the classic Salmon and shared it because we already had eaten dinner prior to that. It was super spicy (like kimchi spicy but minus the sour flavor)... So we drank SO much water. The second time, we decided to get more tame sauces and could actually taste all the delicious flavors of the poke. The owner is super nice. It's fairly quiet inside the restaurant and doesn't have any smell to it. The bubble tea was pretty good too! I got the classic lemonade which was basically fizzy lemonade. The tapioca was similar to Chatime in flavor, so I say pretty good!! Overall, definitely coming back!

this poke spot has been consistently good for us, which is really what keeps us coming back. we…read morefirst discovered this place in the fall of last year, and we just keep coming back, at least once a week. it's just funny that they keep asking us if it's our first time there lol. we usually order the customizable bowls, and they're always filling -- satisfying enough that we leave full every time, not still looking for a snack after. they have a torch option too where they can torch your entire bowl, which I believe is free. i also noticed that they recently changed their bowl from the black plastic bowl to the glass white bowl. i really appreciate this change - please keep this! for two people, you can expect to spend around $40-45 including tax, which feels reasonable given the portion sizes and quality. while it doesn't taste like authentic hawaiian poke, it's probably the closest option in the GTA if you're simply craving poke and want something reliable. one thing we appreciate is the service style: you order at the counter, but your food is brought to your table and cleared afterward. it's a nice in-between of counter service and table service that makes the experience feel a bit more relaxed and comfortable.

I got the poke your way regular size, which comes with two choices of proteins and a variety of different topping options. I loved how many sauce options they had and your ability to customize the level of sauce you want. It came out to be a really flavorful, refreshing, a delicious bowl of poke. I feel like the portion size could be slightly bigger though. While it's not the best poke I've had, I feel they are deserving of 5 stars because of their excellent service. We came in close to their closing time, and immediately upon entering we were greeted by the owner. He was so nice and very accommodating! We had to stay a little longer in the shop to wait for a taxi after eating and he didn't rush us out despite it being past their closing time. The place itself was also really spacious and well-lit. There are a good amount of tables to dine in as well. Good poke and 10/10 service :)

Environment: The restaurant is located at the King/University plaza, where there are ample of parking space and really convenient for those taking the bus as well. The restaurant itself is clean, well lit, and has a few seats. It's best to come in a group of 4 of fewer if you plan on dining here. The decor seems to be going for a "bathroom chic" as described by my friend -- "4 stars - delicious food, feels like I'm in a bathroom"! Lol. It's mainly because of the tiles on the wall and the uncomfortable seats. Food: The BOGO special only allowed us to order from their special bowls so we tried the Big Umami (salmon + tuna) and the one with the Duck. Quantity wise the bowl seems to be good value given that it normally costs $15 per bowl. They put a generous amount of toppings on top of the rice and the flavour was good and the fish sashimi was quite fresh. Definitely no watery/soggy texture! The food also looks damn good with lots of colours, which not only is super appetizing but also so Insta worthy!! Service: Basically fast food McDonald like ordering, no table service. When we were lining up they got someone to hand us the big cardboard menu and explained to us how the ordering works. However...they somehow managed to messed up the order. I got the Big Umami with rice and only one of them had rice while the other one was mixed greens :( definitely a little too healthy for me.....

Sashimi flavourful and saucy. Avocado perfectly ripped. FYI: If you love taking pictures, The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. And!!!! They provide some picture booth accessories you can choose from to make your pictures even cuter!!! :) Overall 10-10!! Every bite is PERFECTO IN MY MOUTH!

The customer service was good. There are 6 signature bowls at $14.99 each, all regular size only. The following garnishes are free: scallions, ginger, nori, radish, fried onions, and sesame seeds. You can also add sides (most are $3.99). You can build your own bowl at $11.99 (snack size) or $15.99 (regular size). I ordered the "Poke Eats" signature bowl ($14.99) since this is my first time trying Poke Eats. It was quite good. It comes with white sushi rice, tuna, maple sesame shoyu, cucumber, sweet corn, crab salad, and edamane. The tuna was fresh. The only tiny complaint is that the rice was a little clumpy. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible (there are two steps at the entrance. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-348

If by some chance you haven't tried Poke before, the best way I can describe it is that it's kind of like deconstructed sushi in the form of a delicious rice bowl. it's both filling and nourishing, without leaving you in a food coma. Toppings include things like tuna sashimi, corn, edamame, ginger, seaweed, avocado, etc.

The salmon was quite fresh and decent portion but nothing amazing. Brown rice was cooked well. The edamame beans, corn, seaweed salad and avocado were all great parts of the bowl. In particular the avocado seemed fresh. The minor downside was that they forgot some of the garnishes we asked - totally missing the nori and seasame seeds. Overall, 4/5 - might try again if there's a deal.

Parking is available right by the carousel or you can go underground by the condo complex. Interior is pretty standard. Nice to see that they have tables available for you to dine-in, but I see most are doing to-go, so nice convenience. Staff were friendly and nice to see they are following health and safety quite seriously when assembling the bowls. Food Their food had always been pretty staple, where you can either select a fixed menu setup or build your own poke with a choice of base/protein/toppings. I also like that they have an option to do salad or soba noodles besides rice as the base. I went for the Aloha Honey Ginger Salmon (crab meat slaw * pineapple * seaweed salad * masago) and Mauna Loa Spicy Shoyu Salmon (edamame * spicy cucumbers * spicy seaweed salad * masago) They've got daily specials too, so it's nice you don't have to break the bank. If you need a go-to spot for healthy, filling meals, this is the one!
