Humongous poke bowls! Located in downtown Markham. Customized my own bowl and it was packed with a variety of toppings. The fish were fresh as well. I couldn't finish the entire bowl so I saved the leftovers for dinner. Overall great tasting poke!

The Mauna Bowl is always a go to if you like a kick in your poke! The red spicy seaweed is unique and never see that option in other places. The large is around ~$20 but the portions were enough for me to share with a friend while being satisfied. The sauce choices are also great and complement the seasoned fish great! There's limited seating inside but there's lots of places outside nearby to enjoy!

My boyfriend and I absolutely love coming here for our poke bowl cravings. They have a snack size poke bowl deal of $10, which includes 1 base, 1 protein, 1 topping, sauce, and unlimited garnishes. They also provide daily deals which I believe only happens at the downtown Markham location. Personally I love the portion of the snack size bowls :) Ambiance is quite nice; we've only came when it was quiet. The overall service was excellent as they're all friendly and welcoming. Parking is quite difficult at times when it gets busy but I would definitely recommend dining here!

I've tried a couple of poke spots in the north GTA, and I still keep coming back here for their Cali bowl! While it's not the most authentic Hawaiian poke flavour (which can be hard to find), their poke is always fresh, chunky, and tasty. A regular bowl will usually run around $16, but they do have daily specials and a snack size poke if you're not in the mood for a full bowl. Note that this is more of a takeout spot, and finding parking can be a bit tricky depending on how busy the area is.

Decent Poke to fill my tummy! Poke Guys is located in the center of Downtown Markham, which is super convenient if you live in the area. I ordered the regular Cali bowl, which comes with both Shoyu Salmon and Shoyu Tuna. You get to choose between white and brown rice, as well as what kind of topping and sauces you like. They have a ton of options for sauce, but I ended up opting for the unagi sauce and miso sesame sauce. The sauces definitely add to the flavour of the bowl! For me, the tuna was a tad mushy, maybe not as fresh as it can be. I enjoyed the salmon, as well as the crab salad that comes with the Cali bowl. Definitely add the crispy shallots, they add such a great texture! Kind of like the croutons of the poke bowl world. The regular size was definitely enough, I still had half the bowl left. Temperature of the food is just right, not too cold where the rice gets hard! Overall a decent Poke bowl place. I prefer places that offer the crispy sticky rice option, but I still enjoyed my Cali bowl.

The food was good. The pokey was very flavorful. You got to pick your own toppings, which was really nice. The bowl was pretty big for one person. The atmosphere was nice. Customer service was nice. The only thing I would say is it was pricey. We did get two Poké bowls, one create your own and the other one was one of the California Poké bowls it cost about $57 for two people which I feel was a little too pricey for just a kind of fast food type of Meal if the price was about $15-20 a person then I would say yes it's great but that's why I'm giving it a four star ready because it was a little pricey for something that could've been like a subway fast food meal

The Poke Guys know how to make a great bowl of Poke. I ordered the Mauna Loa, and while it was a bit spicy for my standards, it was still delicious. This is my go to spot for Poke in Markham, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Fresh food as always Great selection Excellent, friendly and efficient service Place is clean and presentable Among the fans, the Cali is always a safe and delicious choice Having the Mauna Loa so stay tuned

When I downgrade a review, I take my time to assess it. My horrible experience occurred on July 2 this year. I have stewed over it for a few months and decided that I still feel the same way now as I did then. The difference is that I am not writing it out of anger. I have more clarity and calmness. I was a huge supporter of Poke Guys, specifically the downtown Markham location, during this pandemic. On this particular Friday, after being out and about on my staycation, I decided to grab dinner from here. I ordered through Ritual, like I had been doing since April 2020. The weather forecast stated rain all day. Yep, it was raining. When my order was ready, I parked along Birchmount Road and headed over. The sign on the door said a maximum of five people in the store. Yep, there were five customers inside. I stood outside with my umbrella keeping me dry. A couple came over, looked at the sign, and stood near me with their umbrella. A guy walked over and asked me whether there was a lineup. I let him know that the maximum of five people in the store had been reached, pointed at the sign, and said that we were all waiting to go inside. He did not have an umbrella and waited, pacing here and there, and looking inside the store. A male employee made eye contact with this soaked man and waved him inside. He handed this guy his order and he walked out. I was outraged. The three of us were abiding by the rules as customers. Annoyed, I walked into the store. I was told by the same male staff member that the maximum number of customers was five. I knew that. I told him that I informed this customer about the limit and pointed at the sign. I confronted him on waving the male customer in. His reasoning was that we all had umbrellas, but he didn't. So, he rewarded a customer who failed to bring an umbrella with a probability of precipitation of 99% this day. He also was preaching the gospel and not fully following what he was preaching. This guy broke the rule set by his employer, Poke Guys. He jeopardized the health of everyone inside by exceeding his company's own capacity rule. He also set a poor example when clearly all customers outside respected the occupancy rule. I did not appreciate the double standard applied here. As much as I can empathize that he didn't like seeing a soggy guy outside who wasn't responsible enough to carry an umbrella on a rainy day, this employee could have walked out of the store with his order and handed it to him outside. Nope. He chose to break a capacity rule during the pandemic where we could only do pickup at the time and enforce this capacity rule on me out of all people. Such a slap in the face. Had this employee not broken this rule, I wouldn't have had the need to confront him. He didn't like it. Instead, he enforced the rule on me. Buddy, you prompted me to break it and jeopardize my health. Did you apply this rule to your actions? No. He put me in a horrible position because he lacked sound judgment. Someone needed to enforce this limit. No one at the store did. This customer did. Set a consistent, decent example for all of us. As a customer, I shouldn't have had to point out this issue. Be a responsible staff member. The last exchange that I had with this guy was the following: "You broke your own capacity rule," I said, exasperated. "Sorry. Have a great day." It wasn't good enough. It sounded like he just dismissed my comment. I went on social media. It finally got the attention of someone at Poke Guys the next day. This person generally explained that he was trying to help out this drenched guest and "may have caused others to feel uncomfortable, and we apologize for this [situation]." I got the general note, "We have gone ahead and spoken to this team member, and reviewed this incident as well with the rest of our management team." I appreciated the reply. However, it was so general that it did not put me at ease. Did you tell your entire staff that they need to adhere to maximum capacity rules and to use better judgment? What about other alternatives to hand a takeout order to folks in lineups without risking the health of customers and staff? I didn't get specifics. I didn't feel like a valued customer who used to drop by this place for takeout weekly. I was disappointed. I also had to deal with this exchange on my birthday. I stopped looking at it because I wanted to enjoy my day. I also let the person behind the social media account that I would cease supporting this place after this unpleasant experience. After this unpleasant episode at the store, I did go home with my usual regular Cali poke bowl with avocado, kale greens, nori, and classic shoyu. It did not taste as yummy as it used it be. The salmon and tuna didn't taste as fresh as I was accustomed to. It wasn't crafted with care like it used to be. It was sad and the lack of deliciousness reinforced my decision to find a new poke place to call my go-to place. (392)

Always love their poke, it's salmon and tuna is consistently well marinated and just the right amount of sauce. I love the hefty size for the poke chunks here, this way you get more texture on each bite. Cali bowls are my go to, with the spicy aioli sauce on top, just put all the toppings on it, you can't go wrong. I asked for one poke chunk of the salmon Maui loa to try again, it's more spicy than the aioli sauce which I like for my topping but this takes away from the taste of the rest of the bowl. Extra charges for some toppings now such as the seaweed salad. The crab slaw had more slaw than crab but at least you get two scoops for a large bowl to balance that out. One entrance/exit leads right into the poke bar so for Covid line ups it can get a bit smushed in here. No indoor or outdoor dining set up still, just take it to go!

My go-to place for poke in Markham! It's not the best poke I've ever had, but the quality and taste is more than good enough to satisfy any poke craving I have. It's also conveniently located in like, the middle of Markham. I usually get one of the Salmon bowls, and it's always filled to the brim, and they give quite a good portion of protein. Many poke places I have been always add way too many toppings and not enough protein, but the bowl is pretty balanced at Poke Guys. I can never finish one regular bowl all on my own because it's so stuffed with all the toppings! Because of this, I think that it's quite a good deal (each bowl is about $13-18). My favourite bowl is probably the Aloha, because the honey ginger salmon is really well-marinated. I tried the Classic Shoyu Yuzu with it last time, and it was *chef's kiss*! I also recommend adding Avocado even though it's a premium topping. Give this place a visit if you crave poke in Markham!

November 1,2023 I had lunch with my friend. It's my first time ever ordering from here. The portions is quite big and it very filling.
