    Feature wall inside

    Nice poke place tucked away down a pretty quiet street. I picked it because of its rating on yelp high. I can confirm that everything was fresh. I created my own bowl and it was delicious. The service was great as well. Though you can't walk right up next to the counter because of covid precautions, the server walked me through it well and answered all of my questions as I made my way through the multi-step process. It all came out to be a very reasonable price too. So, I really can't say anything bad about The Poke Box. Great place to grab lunch. I always feel good after a poke bowl, filled with ingredients that are good for you.

    Great poke! Generous portions of the toppings & fish. There are 2 options large or regular size. They make your bowl in front of you. We were tired & ready to go back to hotel, so we did the quick bowl recipes on the wall. It's a small place, no real place to eat in, only 2-3 chairs inside. It really is a to-go place.

    Fresh, delicious poke. The ahi tuna was buttery, and the overall meal was super light and healthy feeling. No seating inside and the place was super crowded for a Tuesday at noon. Service was fast and efficient, price was fair. Would return again and highly recommend.

    If I could give this place an 11/10 I would. Their bowls are huge and they fill them up to the brim with so many toppings. And the toppings were so fresh and tasty. I made a build your own large with salmon and crab salad and it came up to under $15. Not only it was huge and tasty, this price is such a deal!

    Sad to post this, but this is the worst poke I've ever had. Not sure if it has to do with staff changes since the latest reviews were from November, but it's a no from me. Got the Signature Poke with salmon and tuna portions. Normally I read a few pages of Yelp reviews before making a purchase, and a lot of people pointed out that the regular size is enough for lunch because they are really generous in packing the box full and that the box is larger than other places. They also said this place is very fresh. However when I got my poke box it was just half full, and the pieces of salmon and tuna were tiny compared to the large cubes other places like Mihito and Hoki Poke. Also, the box is definitely of the smaller sizes I've seen compared to other places in Toronto. The zucchini noodles were soggy and the salmon and tuna did not have the fresh, mouthful, umami taste; doesn't seem like sashimi quality fish. I asked for spicy mayo on the side and the ratio is off; the spiciness overpowers the mayo and that overpowers the already bland proteins. The roasted sesame sauce had little flavour and the other ingredients were all very watery that I could not differentiate between the various supposedly unique flavours. I was excited to try a new place but was disappointed by the taste and delivery. Might have been just my experience, but I am reluctant to come here again.

    I got one of their signature poké bowls, The Poké Box! This small franchise is definitely my favourite Poké place! I absolutely love crab salad and imitation crab they used in this bowl. Everything blended together so perfectly with a savoury marinade of shoyu sauce. I give this place a 10/10, but it's gotten pretty pricey.. I would say the large is SUPER filling but you can always save some for later! = reg ($15.3) large ($19.5)

    Made my own box!

    I wanted to try a new poke bowl place so I came across this one. Hidden in a back street but not too hard to find. Ordered through the app and created my own box. First impressions: the portion is HUGE! Which I loved even though I didn't finish it in one sitting. It consisted of fresh ingredients (not gonna list it all because I barely remember what I put in there) but from what I remember, I had rice, salmon, mushrooms, avocado, tempura bits and some other things but it was all very balanced and tasty. Will come again!

    Great place for poke! Ingredients are consistently fresh and portion sizing is good. There can be quite the lineup on weekdays during lunch, but the staff work exceptionally efficiently and are very kind. I like to create my own bowl, and there is a good selection of proteins/bases/toppings. Will continue to come back!

    Delicious, fresh, large portion, and reasonable pricing. Can't go wrong with anything from this poke shop! Love the variety of toppings especially crispy ones.

    I had a craving for sushi. However, there is a lack of sushi options in the downtown core. Yelp recommended the Poke Box. Although I'm not a huge fan of poke, it was close enough. I walked into a narrow restaurant with a long line-up. There are a few places to sit here, but most patrons order to go. On the wall are various options. You can choose from one of their signature boxes or build your own. I decided to order their signature poke box. Although the options are pre-set, the staff asked if I wanted other toppings. I asked to add corn and dried seaweed. The poke bowl was delicious. I enjoyed just about everything that was included. Unfortunately, it didn't really satisfy my sushi craving. However, the Poke Box was one of the best poke I've had in Toronto.

    Spicy Salmon Box
    Jasmine L.

    YELP TIP: check-in for a free avocado add-on!! I absolutely LOVE poke so this place has been on my radar to try for a while. I do want to mention that I love fruit in my poke, but the options here are practically non-existent. But man, Poke Box truly does nail the savoury poke flavours though! I got the Spicy Salmon Box with a rice base to-go. There were lots of seaweed salad and it had the best crab meat salad I've ever had (actually tasted & felt like crab, unlike the other artificial stuff). The entire poke bowl wasn't overdressed, the sushi rice was on the chewier & firmer side, and the fried onions was an awesome touch. Definitely coming back to try their zucchini noodle base!!

    Jennifer K.

    The Poke Box's poke is the 4th poke I ever ate, so I am not really an expert. But I enjoyed what I ordered. As a spicy lover, I of course opt for their Spicy Box ($11.90). I was hoping that I could try some Zucchini Noodle finally and be healthy but sadly they were all out at 2 pm!! So I just loaded up on my favourite Sushi Rice! Check in using Yelp App scored me a free avocado topping! (+0.5 star)

    Several colleagues have been consistently getting lunches from The Poke Box - got to see for myself what the hype is about! I ordered the "poke box" (regular size) which contains both tuna and salmon as the proteins. I added a serving of avocado (it just makes everything taste better) and opted half zucchini noodle and half grain blend. This is my first time having zucchini noodles so I really didn't know what to expect (e.g. is it raw, blanched, steamed?). I ordered via Ritual to avoid the lineup (plus you get a first time order discount!). Once I dugged into the bowl, I understand why my colleagues keep going back! Even though, the tuna wasn't high quality, the proteins were fresh. The topping salads (tropical slaw, seaweed and crab salads) were well seasoned. The zucchini noodles turns out to be raw (didn't know you can have zucchini raw...), but I won't mind getting it again. Depending on what kind of base you get, it can be a very filling lunch. It's a bit pricey to be a having it multiple times a week for lunch, but the price is comparable to other poke places downtown. I would totally order from The Poke Box again!

    Poke!

    Pokito is a Hawaiian restaurant/take out joint located along Queen St. W. near Spadina Ave (close…read moreto Cameron St.). They've been a staple for poke in the area for years, however, their menu has expanded to include more Hawaiian foods like plate lunches and snacks (like onigiri and spam musubi). I recently stopped by Pokito to pick up take out for dinner as I had stumbled upon a $10 coupon from the restaurant over Facebook. Upon entering, the space is inviting and warm, with wooden accents throughout the space. There are several tables if you'd like to dine in. The menu is large and they also have daily deals as well. In the small fridge display they have a sample of their poke on display along with other items like onigiri, desserts, and drinks. Their poke bowls are likely the most popular items to be ordered but definitely don't skip out on the plate lunches as well! I opted to grab a garlic shrimp scampi plate lunch (tail-on shrimp sauteed in buttery garlic sauce on rice (can choose between white or brown rice) with mac salad and a salad slaw) for $22.50. I did have $10 off my order which was great. If you sign up for their rewards program you also get other deals as well (the next deal I get is 50% off a plate lunch for a limited time!). My order was made fresh which took about 5-10 min. I didn't mind as I just sat down to wait. Service was friendly and efficient. I had my garlic shrimp scampi plate lunch for dinner. Beware that the shrimp is really garlicy and delicious! Just be careful if you need to talk to someone afterwards because they will smell it. The rice absorbed some of that garlic flavour which made the rice even better. The mac salad was great and the salad slaw helped to cut through everything as well. Portions were large and I was full afterwards. Overall, a great place for Hawaiian plate lunches (and I'm sure poke as well!) in the Queen/Spadina area. Definitely will return to try more of their plate lunches as well as poke.

    1/2 I've consumed so…read moremuch ahi poke in my life that my bloodstream is basically a sashimi smoothie. But this place? This place made me reconsider my will. I had the spicy garlic ahi and the original ahi, and the tuna was so fresh I half expected it to still be swimming. It melted in my fat little mouth like it was apologizing for every bad life choice I've ever made. This honestly rivaled poke I've had in Honolulu, which is terrifying because that means I no longer need Hawaii--I can now die broke and mercury-riddled right here at home. The spicy ahi hits hard too. Caucasians, if you've ever cried during a Taco Bell mild sauce packet, you should probably update your life insurance before ordering. My only critique? More sides and toppings. If I'm going to spiral into heavy-metal toxicity, I want to do it with reckless abandon and at least three different crunchy things sprinkled on top. Still, this place is so good I'd happily shave a few years off my life expectancy for another bowl. Who needs retirement when you've got poke like this?

    Yesterday, I needed to grab a bite to eat before heading over to Massey Hall for a concert. In the…read morepast, the food court at CF Eaton Centre was one of my usual places to get grub. I changed things up and visited the food court at Atrium on Bay. It was nice seeing several stalls open at around 4:30 pm. It was a toss-up choice between My Sushi or Fusia Asian Kitchen. I looked at the former's menu and liked what I saw. An early dinner from My Sushi, it was! You can get a bunch of sushi rolls. There were many options. I took one look at the poke menu and knew I needed a bowl. I got a regular. You can also do a large. A Chinese couple owns this business. The man took my order. The woman prepared my bowl. The man was helpful and nice. He said that I could do rice or salad, or half of each, if I liked. I went with salad. For the sauce, I chose teriyaki. I also got a Diet Coke. I waited patiently for my food. It didn't take too long. The woman asked if I needed a plastic bag. I waived it off, as I was going to rip open and devour my food at the food court. I cracked open my can of Diet Coke. It was cold and hit the spot. I loved my poke bowl. The salmon was fresh and yummy. The mandarin oranges were a nice twist. They brightened this bowl significantly. There were crispy green bits that I enjoyed, but I didn't know what I ate... lol The greens are iceberg lettuce. I would have liked mixed greens, but the crisp lettuce worked out surprisingly nicely. The half-avocado's presentation was amazing. It was cubed and fanned out. This find was awesome! I would love to return for more. The regular-sized poke bowl was perfect. Down the road, I can see my getting a large. Perhaps I'll try the sashimi next. I love sashimi! (197)
