Poke Box is a build your own poke spot in Durham…read more I initially tried the location in Markham and loved it there so I was quite surprised to see one in Durham! 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

This is supposed to be a large build your own bowl with 3 additional toppings, so roughly $22.50.The bowl isn't even 1/2 full. Tastes great but that's about it. I would've gone back in but I didn't notice until we had already left, also, I'm not about to give grief to the kid working there. We loved going here but definitely won't go back or recommend this place. Shrinkflation is wild.

We were in the mood for poke and decided to try this place out…read more We ended up getting the OG large bowl which was a pretty big size though still on the pricier end. 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.

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.

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but my recent experience was frustrating enough to warrant one…read more The service at this restaurant was disappointing from start to finish. We asked our server to cancel a food item shortly after ordering -- it was something small, just $7.99 -- but they completely ignored the request and were fighting with me to pay for what I ordered. When the item came out anyway, we reminded them that we had asked to cancel it. Instead of apologizing or fixing the issue, the server just wouldn't let it go. No effort was made to make it right. It's not about the $7.99 -- it's about the lack of care or accountability. Good customer service means listening and not making guests feel like an inconvenience. I canceled my order completely, which, with everything else that I added, was well over $60. I was so appalled by the way I was treated, even willing to pay over $60 for lunch, that I just left. We won't be returning. Conveniently the manager was "on vacation." What a load of $&@! If you want to be treated like an inconvenience and be talked about poorly in a different language, this is the place for you.

Yummy. Great portions they really packed the box and fresh ingredients…read more I visited Victoria Day around 5pm it was quite busy with foot traffic as well as online orders. It was about a 15 min wait after placing your order. I got a custom bowl and paid extra for two proteins, salmon and beef. Both tasted delicious. The salmon was a little too fresh I would of preferred of it was marinated or tossed in the sauces prior to. Speaking of sauces the Mango sauce is really good!!!!!!!!! I also tried the smell lemonade. It was good and refreshing not too sweet which I appreciate. I ate the entire bowl but I will say it came to a point where I wanted to leave some leftovers but it just looked too small to leave for the next day so I continued eating

Location/service This place is located right in the heart of…read moredowntown Markham, right across from the Canada Carousel. Really big sign that you can't miss. 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!

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!
