    Beef Bulgogi bowl (build your own). With pineapple salsa, edamame, fried onions, & corn. Topped with Miso Sesame & green onions
    Maddy S.

    I was so excited when Koha Pacific Kitchen opened in Square One, and waited a couple of weeks after they opened to actually order from here so I could see reviews & know what to order (I'm a bit picky..). After seeing some mixed reviews, I was hesitant to order and never did until today. I am actually disappointed in myself for not ordering sooner. The food is SO good! I ordered the Build your own Box (again, because I am picky and didn't like all the toppings in the premade box choices). I couldn't decide between the Korean BBQ Chicken or the Beef Bulgogi, but the lady who was serving my friend & I, let us try a piece of each. I ended up picking the Beef Bulgogi. As my base, I got half purple rice and half white rice (in case I didn't like the purple rice lol). On top, I chose pineapple salsa, corn, edamame, fried onions, & green onions. For my sauce, I chose the Miso Sesame. 100% would order again and again and again. The flavours worked so well together (even the pineapple salsa!). It's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's worth the splurge once in a while. My bowl came up to just under $13 CDN.

    Tofu bun and good packing
    Stefi P.

    I come here only for the panko tofu bun - they are so crunchy and yummy that I barely try anything else on the menu ever since I discovered these. Even the BBQ chicken buns are tasty but I am biased. The buns cost $5 each and are totally worth it. During Covid-19 you can order ahead and do pick up as well.

    The Hot Mix w/ both salmon and tuna.  I was able to select 2 bases so that was good!
    Stephanie S.

    3.5* Very similar to Basil Box (their neighbour)...but with protein like raw fish and $5 baos. Currently, portions vs. price is quite good. I wrote "currently" because it just opened, so perhaps these things will change after they've gained a bit of popularity. Poke bowls range from $10-13 and taxes in "The Hot Mix" (salmon/tuna poke) was $15 'n change. As a base, you do have a choice of: Spring Mix, Zucchini noodles, quinoa, purple/white rice and I was given the option of selecting 2 of those items. If you're dining in the Food Court, items were placed on a rectangular plate. I found the plate a bit difficult to mix all the items together. A bowl would've been easier! Salmon/tuna was a bit tasteless, but was fresh. Not a terrible or unhealthy option if you hafta dine at "Food Central".

    Build your bowl: purple rice, ribeye steak bulgogi, edamame, pineapple salsa, kimchi, crispy onions, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, sweet chili

    I tried this new addition to the Square One food court yesterday after seeing it come up on Yelp. Koha Pacific Kitchen has a few dining options that I think would satisfy a range of cravings. The prices range from $5 for baos and about $10-$13 for bowls depending on which one you pick. They have some baos, preset Korean bowl options, preset poke bowls and a build your bowl option. I chose the last option after seeing the size of the baos, which looked like a decent size if I were to get two but it was hard to resist the idea of picking the toppings and sauces that I wanted. I picked purple rice for my base (you can pick 2 kinds if you want), ribeye steak bulgogi for protein, then 3 veggies (edamame, kimchi, pineapple salsa), toppings (sesame seeds, crispy onions, cilantro), as well as spicy mayo and some kind of sweet chili sauce. It was about $13 something including tax for a decent portion. It was presented nicely inside the takeout box and looked really appetizing. Upon taking my first few bites of it, I noticed right away how fresh it all tasted. The different flavours worked well together from the sweet marinade on the bulgogi, to that distinct kimchi flavour, the tanginess of the pineapple salsa, crisp of the onions, to the blend of the sauces. I was definitely happy with my dinner choice! In terms of portion size that you get, I was really hungry so I found that it was enough for me but it may not be filling enough for someone that eats larger portions (ex: hubby dearest). I think that the one con in terms of portions is that Basil Box has the same concept of building your own bowl but their portions are almost double this place's bowl portions for the same price and you can pick more than 3 toppings. Just something to keep in mind for those who consider value when deciding what to eat from the food court. This place is great though if you want something different than some of the other standard food court offerings which was the case with me yesterday evening. The verdict? Worth trying if you're at Square One! I'll definitely be back to try some more of their other offerings.

    Ordered the bulgogi Bao -- it was tasty, but over priced considering the portion. The meat was cold, but the toppings were fresh.

    Super excited to try another poke place, sadly another less than stellar poke experience…read more Mississauga needs more poke, but I haven't found a new favourite to outdo Poke Guys or Mihito yet. I was eager to love the salmon poke bowl I got from Poke Poke. Ingredients were fresh, staff were nice, and service didn't take too long. Location is also fantastic, right next to a lot of other Asian restaurants and in a pretty popular area in Mississauga. The shop is small but the ordering area is a bit cramped, flush against the wall. It wasn't that busy when I went, so that wasn't a huge issue. Pricing is about the same as everywhere else you can get poke, but portions run small. The salmon was good in terms of flavour - I love it when places marinate the salmon because it adds to the flavour of the bowl - but there wasn't a lot of it and I hit the bottom of the bowl with only rice and a bit of veggies left over. Biggest issue for me was sauce - I asked for extra (unagi and shichimi, which were solid) and got what I would consider regular at best. Dry poke is sad and ruins otherwise a fantastic meal. All in all a decent poke place if you're really dying to get some. The ingredients are fresh but portion size + pricing doesn't really give me any reason to come back.

    Super excited for a new poke place in sauga! We done have a lot here so it's nice to now have…read moreoptions. Upon entering, I got a very warm welcome from the staff. They have a lot of signature options or you can choose to build you own poke bowl. I went with the Californication (one of the signature bowl) which comes with both tuna and salmon, crabmeat salad, avocado, seaweed salad, mangoes, and masago. You also get to choose the sauces you want on top and mix and match as your heart desires. I got the sesame sauce and spicy mayo. The price is on par with most poke places and you get a good sized portion for the regular. My bowl was packed to the brim! They were super generous with the tuna and salmon and you can tell that the ingredients were quite fresh. I loved my bowl and was super satisfied and full afterwards. I was informed at the beginning that they are planning on redoing the front of the store into a seating area so that should be coming soon. In the meantime, you can only really do takeout at this place and there's no public seating outside in the plaza. Overall, good poke and decent price. I'll be back next time when I need a poke fix.

The space was bright, clean and casual, making it a nice spot for a quick lunch or relaxed meal. We tried all four Pokebomb flavours: tuna, salmon, California and dynamite lobster. They were fresh, flavourful and more filling than they looked. The dynamite lobster was easily my favourite, while my husband loved the salmon. We would definitely come back for those and to try the actual bowls!

    Tip: The poke proteins are exceptionally fresh here…read more Back in April, I was at Earls Bar and Kitchen with a handful of colleagues. Across from this eatery was Pokeworks. I had heard good things about this poke place and made a mental note to visit it. I found out a few weeks ago that Pokeworks has poke bombs. I know them as tofu pockets and love them so much. It's basically a bean curd pocket with sushi rice inside, followed by whatever poke proteins or toppings you'd like. Poke bombs are fairly new here. I decided to drop by last Thursday to get some. This eatery is roughly a fifteen-minute drive from my workplace. I drove here from Markham, which took 55 minutes after the morning rush hour was over. I then headed to work after having an early lunch. There were lots of parking spots at 11 am. Earls and Pokeworks share the same surface parking. I pulled into a parking spot and walked in. Staff all greet you when you walk in. It was a nice touch. I indicated that I wanted to try their poke bombs. The man behind the prep area was genuinely thrilled and said that he'd make four different poke bombs for me. The poke bombs offered are the following: - Salmon - Ahi tuna - Dynamite lobster - California I started with the salmon and ahi tuna poke bombs. Classic poke protein flavours. Solid! The ahi tuna and salmon were exceptionally fresh. I was impressed already! Both proteins were over sushi rice, with soy glaze, sesame seeds, and green onions, in a tofu pocket. They were generous in size and yummy. I got to see the dynamite lobster bomb get torched and then sauced. It was cool. It's the only torched bomb of the lineup. It had a spicy sriracha aioli, but was mild on the spice scale. The sauce was a soy glaze topped with green onions. It was my favourite one because the torching enhanced everything. It was perfection. The California bomb had a large slice of avocado and surimi (imitation crab) on sushi rice in a tofu pocket. It was delicious! The generous avocado with the surimi was so good with the sweet and savoury sauce. I got a drink to wash everything down. I liked the fountain machine. It had a good selection of Diet Coke flavours. I went with the lemon and it was excellent. I was so happy with lemony Diet Coke. It was better than squeezing in a lemon wedge because the lemon flavour was consistent throughout each sip. I used the washroom before I left. It was a single stall and super clean. I had an excellent experience here. I'd like to return and try a poke bowl next. I'm so glad that I visited this eatery at long last. I'll be back! (389)
