This place is always predictable - well thought out menu with options for dietary restrictions, bowls full of flavour, assembly line service and a long line that moves so quickly that you aren't even finished ordering and its time to pay. The only downside to that speed is for a new customer it feels rushed. But this isn't anything that's not the case in the food courts within the Financial district in general. I always get the 'organic panko tofu' bowl. Love the touch of kimchi and pickled cabbage along with the choice of getting either a carb (purple/white rice) or greens or zucchini noodles! You can also customize your bowls but I never do - this bowl is well thought out to perfection so why mess with that? I will say though I have tried their other locations and I do find they do things way better! Definitely worth a try when looking for lunch options in the area. read more

Got the spicy pork bowl and it was really solid. The pork was super flavorful with a nice kick, and the fresh cilantro and jalapeños on top made it even better. Loved the mix of toppings -- pineapple, corn, crunchy bits, and noodles and rice underneath soaked up all the flavor really well. The sauce on the side added a creamy touch that balanced out the spice. Good portion size too. read more

I went here on a weekday for lunch for the spicy pork Bao based on what I saw pictured online. When I went to order the staff took their time and was not the most friendly. When I inquired about if the pickled cabbage was included they said it was only what was in the description and the picture were incorrect. I double checked as daikon and cabbage are quite similar and perhaps they made a mistake. They clarified it was not included. I asked if it was possible to add the pickled cabbage as pictured and I would pay however much to have it added. This is when the staff member started getting snippy with me. As I paid and walked away she said under her breath "it was just a picture". In reality this is false marketing and I find it infuriating that they charge $7 for an item not as pictured. There are plenty of other Bao restaurants in the path and I really feel like I wasted my money here instead of supporting another store who actually wants my business. The staff need some training on customer service and the marketing photos need to be updated. I'm happy to revise my review to add back some stars if that happens as the food served here is quite good otherwise. read more

Created my own tuna and salmon custom poke bowl at this place! The portion sizes are fair for the price, but there isn't as much topping variety as other places. That said, I did like that they offered tobiko as an optional topping! I expected that since I was paying more for the dual protein (both salmon and tuna), I'd be receiving a slightly more generous amount. And so, imagine my surprise to find that only one scoop was given! Moreover, the combined salmon tuna mixture didn't look comparably ad fresh as the other plain salmon or plain tuna options. The meal kept me decently full, but I feel that I would have been more satisfied with a bit more food. That said, the flavours were great overall (loved the pickled carrots and daikon)! read more

Koha Pacific Kitchen - Custom bowl - Poke Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

got the korean bbq chicken rice bowl which was pretty basic/bland, maybe will try poke or more customization next time

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: N/A This is located in the food court underneath Metro Hall. They offer Korean bowls, poke bowls and baos with the option of protein such as BBQ chicken, spicy pork, etc. I selected the Korean BBQ bowl this day and I have got to say it was pretty good. Loved the edamame and fried onions especially. The purple rice which I chose however was a little off but it was minor and overall I enjoyed the flavours of the bowl. The service was pretty fast and efficient. It was like an assembly line where you order at one end and they pass off onto the next station which adds the next set of ingredients until you reach the cash register. I will definitely come back and try their other offerings. A pretty good option if you are looking to pick up something quick. read more

Koha Pacific Kitchen - Korean bowl with purple rice and Korean BBQ chicken - Poke Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Do NOT order a poke bowl here. I have had many poke bowls in my life. Obviously, I was not expecting something as good as the poke I had in Hawaii. But, I was expecting something edible and chief, this ain't it. I came towards the tail end of the lunchtime rush, and noticed they were running low on their salmon and tuna. I took this as a positive indication of their poke bowl sales and ordered the classic salmon bowl with white rice. It cost almost $14. The portion was huge, but the taste... Ugh. The fish was dull in colour and completely flavourless. Not marinated at all. It did not taste fresh and the sauce did nothing to mask the fishy (in a bad way) flavour. I am sad to admit I gave up after 3 bites. Not one to waste food, I took it home for my partner to try. (Full disclosure, he ate it voluntarily after I expressed my concerns. I did not trick him into trying it.) He thought, "it can't be all that bad," and dug in. He threw the rest away after 3 bites. He does want you to know, reader, that he has had the Korean style rice bowls from the Wellington location and really liked those. Maybe one day I'll get over this experience and give those a try... read more

Food is okay, nothing special. The choices are random, some don't really go together. Filling portion for $11.99+tax. Server was really rude though read more

I've been eating here once a week for nearly two months, usually decent and consistant. The last time I ate here I found a STONE in my rice. Not a pebble, an actual stone. I was lucky enough to have noticed it was in my mouth before I bit down or it could have been a very expensive and painful trip to the dentist. I went back and showed the manager and he seemed very disinterested. His solution to my experience was to explain that they had a new rice supplier. That was how he remedied the situation. Didn't even apologize. It's too bad, liked this place. read more

Came here for lunch and built my own salmon bowl. The toppings and sauces are Korean inspired, hence it's a bit different than the other poke bowl places downtown. For example you can get gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) as one of the sauce options, or kimchi, seaweed, edamame for toppings. The flavour was OK but the downside is it's a bit pricey. I had to pay $1.5 extra for avocados in my bowl. I also didn't find too many toppings that appealed to me. I ordered the salmon bowl with kale, edamame, seaweed salad, crunchy onion, avocado and spicy mayo sauce. read more

I work very close to Koha Pacific Kitchen, but only discovered it recently! Located in the Path of Toronto, Koha is nestled in a corner of one of the many underground food courts you'll find in the city. The concept is very interesting but makes a lot of sense! Blending Korean and Hawaiian foods results in something amazing! I decided to make my own bowl because there's nothing more I love than customizing my meals. The staff are very nice and allow for mixing. I chose a base of half purple rice and half zucchini noodles with half bulgogi beef and half spicy pork as my protein. While you are allowed to mix meats, you cannot mix the cooked meats with the raw ones. It's very hard to choose 3 ingredients, but you can always add more for an additional cost. The pineapple salsa is great- I definitely recommend it. Altogether, my meal cost about $13 and was enough to make 1.5 meals for me! I just added some additional ingredients to my leftover box the next day and had a second meal. read more

It was lunch rush hour and I ordered spicy pork with potato noodles. The noodles were broken in pieces because it had been sitting for too long in the tray. The server refused to give me the new batch sitting on the counter. The noodle didn't taste good. read more

3.5 for me. I tried the ahi tuna bowl and was impressed that they had zucchini noodles as a base, it was good and interesting! They were also very generous with toppings unlike some other places. However, the tuna was not very good quality and cut very poorly (as if with a dull knife). For $15 I would expect decent quality fish being used. I still enjoyed my meal though and would come back to try their other items. read more

Koha Pacific Kitchen - a variety of vegetables in a box - Poke Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been here multiple times for lunch or to grab a quick dinner, and I really like this place. Theyre pretty generous in the amount of food they put in the boxes. I've tried the tofu box with zucchini noodles and I really like this combo. Its only ~$10 (including tax), which is pretty comparable if not cheaper than places similar to this chain (rice / healthy boxes). read more

Loved this place. I was just visiting but wish I could take this place home with me because I'd probably eat it everyday. Amazing selection with fresh unique ingredients. The portions were also huge which I was a fan of. A great deal. read more

Too much flavouring but nothing makes sense and doesn't have any taste and salmon doesn't look fresh.

I tried the Korean Chicken Bao today ($5) - I was initially confused if the meat was Chicken or Pork due to its 'boiled' appearance - Overall, the Bao was satisfying - The pickled carrots and cucumber added a nice crunch and the spicy mayo dressing was delicious. I just wish the chicken had a better texture to it. read more

I'm not at all impressed with the poke box. The rice is crunchy and cold. It taste like old rice...many days old! I had high hopes for the spicy poke box but I will never go back if they can not even get the rice right. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Would NEVER go here again. Got so terribly sick after having the chicken. Stayed home for a few days. Spoke to my coworker and he got sick at the same place and stayed home for 3 days. I would recommend to go somewhere else for Korean food. read more

Decided to check out the Korean/Hawaiian restaurant at the food court and was not disappointed in the slightest! Very fresh ingredients in their tasty Poke bowls and baos!! Was incredibly satisfied with the food and the staff members were helpful and kind. Would recommend for anyone looking to grab a small snack or a filling meal. read more

Just tried this place for lunch yesterday and it was awesome!! I had their spicy pork bowl which had tons of flavour and a kick ass sauce. It wasnt actually very spicy though so next time ill add some extra hot sauce on the end. The ingredients seemed fresh and I liked that I could also swap out some of the items for ones I wanted. It also seemed like better quality than most other food court places and at $11 it was pretty reasonable. They have a really interesting menu with other korean bowls, bao buns and poke bowls so I will definitely go back to try out some of their other items. Great first impression!! read more

Great new lunch option for me in the Path @ Commerce Court. I really like the variety of fresh options they offer. I've tried the spicy pork, tuna and tofu signature bowls ($9.50-13.50) so far and all have been excellent! Have to keep coming back to try the rest of the menu. Another plus is that they carry aloe drink, which is one of my favs. read more

Just discovered this place and I'm hooked! Been there a handful of times already and haven't repeated a bowl yet. I enjoy picking my toppings each time and mixing it up. I think I've tried almost all the sauce options now too lol. Pricing is competitive and on par with the other options in the area and portion sizes are great. Still need to try their bao buns too. read more

Delicious, healthy & fresh KOrean-HAwaiian options at the Commerce Court! This place is super refreshing in the midst of the other heavy food options at the food court. Definitely the BEST option for lunch in the middle of a work day - for meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans! So everyone. Today, we tried the Classic Salmon Bowl on purple rice and 2 bao's (spicy pork & panko tofu), and they did not disappoint at all - explosion of flavors actually! :) I usually don't like the ginger that comes with sushi, but even their ginger is delicious. There are different options for poke/korean bowls, and you can also build personalized bowls for basically the same price! Ingredients were FRESH, the sauces were YUMMY, and service was GREAT!! Definitely going back as often as I can! read more

I've eaten here many times when I'm at Commerce Court, and it's become my go-to lunch spot. The portions are generous, flavours on point, and price points are in line with everything else in the food court. I usually get the zoodles with spicy pork and it's been tasty every time. It comes with a side of cucumber slaw and pineapple which are nice complements. Highly recommended. read more

I tried Koha for the first time this past week. I made a custom poke tuna bowl ($13.50). I had it on zucchini noodles which I really liked. The options of toppings and garnishes were really great too. Everything tasted fresh and portion size was very filling. Also, to note the line up seemed pretty long when I arrived, but the staff there moved it along super quick. Will be back for sure! read more
