Custom bowl
Tania L.

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)!

Korean bowl with purple rice and Korean BBQ chicken
Kervin H.

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.

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

Build your own bowl - Salmon, Kale, edamame, seaweed salad, crunchy onion

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.

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.

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.

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

Queen Street West, Alexandra Park

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.

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?

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)
