    PG Bowl
    Davidson M.

    My absolute go-to spot for Poke! I used to frequent the Toronto location, but was pleasant to know they had a location in Vaughan. The food is fresh and amazing. I usually go for leafy greens as a base since I feel like it ends up being pretty heavy when I order with rice. Though, I believe if you ask for half greens half rice, they'll easily oblige! I opt for getting either the Cali bowl or PGs bowl as both are great options. I always leave feeling happy and satisfied. I love coming here and will continue bringing friends and family here for some good ol' Poke.

    This review is similar to my Yelp experience. I bought an additional poke bowl. I was hesitant dropping by this new store in Vaughan. This past July, I had a horrible experience at Poke Guys in Markham. I had been a regular customer and vowed to not return to this location. Would management and staff at Poke Guys apply those lessons learned at their new location in Vaughan? I had to check it out. The reduction of a star is for the lack of clear signage. I am all for usability and I am a good candidate to determine whether I can find anything, including a business. On Saturday, I headed westbound on Highway 7 and turned right into the plaza. Poke Guys was on the left. Due to a lack of signage, no unit number displayed on their door or window, along with a frosted logo on the window that blended with the nondescript store, I missed this store until I did an entire car tour of this plaza and saw the logo when parked. It's not good making any end user's experience start off with a scavenger hunt. A simple, visible sign with Poke Guys on it would have made it easier to spot. After my little car excursion, I parked. There was plenty of parking. There were pay stations scattered around the lot. I didn't bother paying, as I was worn out from finding this place already. The main entrance faces east. It helped that a staff member was leaving the store, which helped me out. Once inside, I was happy. The interior looked so nice and modern. Their Toronto and Markham locations look shabby now in comparison! Washrooms were on the right with wooden doors. The poke prep area looked enticing. I was greeted by a lovely male staffer who stepped me through the process to build my own bowl. I also took advantage of the 15% off an additional bowl thanks to Yelp and Poke Guys. Yay! I got the following regular-sized bowls: - Spicy shoyu salmon, and sweet and spicy shrimp, with corn, edamame, crab meat slaw, watermelon radishes, miso sesame, nori, and green onions on kale greens - Cali bowl (classic shoyu tuna and salmon, crab meat slaw, avocado, green onions, watermelon radishes, green onion, sesame seeds, classic shoyu yuzu, nori, and corn on kale greens) This man was so helpful assembling my bowls with care and detail, and answering my questions as we went along. I got cutlery because I needed to have a late lunch at 3 pm. I paid with a credit card. I added a tip. Everything was seamless. I was the only person in the eatery on a rainy afternoon. I felt safe. There were two hand sanitizer dispensers. It was a decent change from my Markham experience. I thanked the man and left with my food. I ate my lunch in my car, as I had a drink there and I'm used to dining in my vehicle! I had the Cali bowl first because I didn't want the avocado to brown. It was night and day between my experience at the Markham location and Vaughan. The ingredients were fresh. The flavours blended so well. The crab slaw was yummy and how I remembered it to be. I thoroughly enjoyed having what was go-to poke bowl. I had my build-your-own bowl for dinner. I loved the sweet and spicy shrimp. I've never had it before. Each shrimp was perfect. Not rubbery at all. I got the spicy shoyu salmon, which had the perfect amount of heat. I love corn and edamame. I was so happy with this bowl creation. I had an excellent experience, despite conducting a search to find this place. I now know where it is! When I'm in the area and am craving poke, I'd be fine dropping by here for more good eats.

    Location: Vaughan, on the main floor of a condo. Tricky to find first visit. You need to actually continue through to the Riviera event space and park there. The entrance is along Highway 7. Parking: There's a giant parking lot for the ballroom, park there . Not free. The Space: Tiny. Its definitely a take out place. I think there's just 4 seats The goods: It's poke bowls! 1. You pick a base, either rice or salad, I'm get half rice/ half salad 2. Then your protein- spicy shoyu salmon and honey ginger shoyu salmon. Are my faves. They have Shrimp and tofu of you want cooked or are vegan. 3. Choose your toppings, I like corn edamame, seaweed salad and mango 4. Pick your extra topping, I like watermelon radish,crispy onions, tempura bits and nori 5. Sauces- they are non dairy. There are endless combinations to choose from. You can go everyday and never eat the same bowl!! The staff: Really nice Will I be back? Of course!!

    Location is slightly hard to find because its located within a plaza and isnt necessarily eye catching but it does have a lot of parking within walking distance. Location is bright and open which I love! Bowls are offered in 2 sizes and of the poke bowl places ive tried they have the most options for the base.. love their sauce/toppings and garnish options.. wide range that can accommodate all taste preferences... My go to is their soba noodles (not offered anywhere else to my knowledge) Protein and ingredients very fresh and tasty!

    Nice new spot in vaughan for poke guys. The servers were really nice but compare to other poke competitors the food/price isnt as worth it. For their scoop of protein they dont give you a full scoop of salmon/tuna there's cucumber inside the scoop so you don't actually get the full scoop. Each topping cost and extra $1 where as other competitors are free to add toppings. This can add up really quick if you enjoy adding all the toppings to a poke bowl. Overall, taste wise is good but the amount of portion and price isnt as worth as other poke places.

    Food and service were great! Staff were super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend!

    My favourite Poke spot just opened in Vaughan. Congratulations Poke Guys! This new location is nice, clean, and a perfect spot for a quick grab & go poke bowls! Specializing in fresh Hawaiian style poke, they marinated their proteins with shoyu, scallions, sesame oil, white onions, and cucumber, which gave them umami-flavoured taste. You can build your own bowl or try their signature ones. I love to build my own bowl since you can add your favourite toppings that suited your own preference. But this time, I tried their signature bowls: Mauna Loa - Mixed of sushi rice and vegetables, Spicy shoyu salmon, edamame, spicy cucumbers, spicy seaweed salad, masago, unlimited sauces and garnishes. I love that you can feel the heat, balanced out with the fresh salmon, and topped it off with wasabi mayo, creamy togarashi, classic shoyu yuzu sauces, with nori, pickled red ginger, and togarashi to finish off. Explosion of flavours! Cali Bowl (Large) - Brown and white rice, layered with Classic shoyu salmon & tuna, avocado, crab meat slaw, masago, drizzled with variety of sauces, such as Unagi, shoyu yuzu, wasabi mayo, and miso sesame. Finished off with crispy onion, nori, green onions, and b&w sesame seeds. So what are you waiting for, go grab your poke bowl and experience Hawaii!

    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.

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

Toppings include things like tuna sashimi, corn, edamame, ginger, seaweed, avocado, etc.

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.

I got the poke your way regular size, which comes with two choices of proteins and a variety of different topping options. I loved how many sauce options they had and your ability to customize the level of sauce you want. It came out to be a really flavorful, refreshing, a delicious bowl of poke. I feel like the portion size could be slightly bigger though. While it's not the best poke I've had, I feel they are deserving of 5 stars because of their excellent service. We came in close to their closing time, and immediately upon entering we were greeted by the owner. He was so nice and very accommodating! We had to stay a little longer in the shop to wait for a taxi after eating and he didn't rush us out despite it being past their closing time. The place itself was also really spacious and well-lit. There are a good amount of tables to dine in as well. Good poke and 10/10 service :)
