The 420 (left), the Ultimate (right) & 2 drinks-- the lychee ginger lemonade and the pineapple coconut iced tea
Tina T.

Probably my new favourite poke spot-- it specializes in Hawaiian style, so the tastes are more unique than the other poke shops in Toronto! They have a mix of cooked and raw bowls, and even offer tasty options for vegetarians (which I tried as a meat-eater and still enjoyed!). The shop has decent seating (maybe 20 seats) and service was quick.

420 bowl
Eula B.

Came here during their 7th anniversary when their 420 bowl was 7.77! The place was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly. I got my order right away and lunched my food away! The 420 bowl is a mix of tuna and salmon with toppings like edamame, seaweed, onion, carrots on rice. Mix it well and the flavour was delightful. I wish there were more chunks of salmon and tuna but with it's price. It's definitely worth it.

Food was great. I just wish there was more selection for the garnish and sauces. The avocado tasted a bit weird like fermented but I still ate it. The people were very friendly, and the service was quick. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy. It was the perfect lunch spot during work hours.

The vegan tuna poke bowl was good, slightly tangy with shoyu sauce. You can select the base, sauce and topping to add to your bowl. The service was fast. The place was not very crowded when I visited in the evening. There are a couple of tables to sit down and eat in.

i found this place on Yelp as I was searching Poke Bowls to eat for dinner. Awesome that checking in got me 20% off my order as a first time customer. I appreciate how patient the person behind the counter was because I truly had no idea what I wanted and genuinely had a lot of questions. Thankfully there wasn't anyone behind me so I got to take my time. I optioned for the two protein, make your own combo, which i got the spicy tuna, ceviche, crab salad and the pineapple chow. It was cool that there were extra free toppings you could add, and avocado for $2! I also appreciated that the additional topping were explained to me so i knew what i was getting as well. I have to say this is the best Poke Bowl i've had to date and I will be back to try another bowl! ps - the service here was truly amazing!

spam musubi , passion fruit drink and cheese salmon wontons
Nana T.

My first time trying spam musubi and it was so simple but soooo good hahaha. Here we got the spam musubi (2/$6) We ended up getting two more musubis lol and we also tried their salmon cheese deep fried wontons ($7) which came with a spicy mayo and wasabi mayo sauce (we dipped our musubis in them too and it was such a good mix!) For drinks we got this passionfruit drink which was surprisingly bubbly and perfectly sweet! Will definitely be back for a quick meal or snack again! Also service and people are very friendly and helpful there!

YELP TIP: check-in for 20% off your first order. I first had their Poké Ball Snack. For only ~$5 I was surprised at the amount of ingredients you get...from the crab meat infused sushi rice to the generous spicy salmon filling! I loved the self-serve toppings corner where you can really step it up. My favs were the toasted coconut, fried onions & roasted sesame seeds. I came back to try their Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl and it was pretty decent! Portions and the variety of ingredients were nice.

Spicy ahi poke, butter Mochi, garlic shrimp and a spam musubi.

Everything was delicious, felt like I was back in Hawaii! Restaurant is also nice to eat in, clean, modern and great vibe!

Spicy salmon, hawaiian tuna, seaweed salad, cucumber salad
Reh L.

Pretty solid poke spot - definitely one of the better ones in the area. They do a great job with their poke, not overwhelming us with sauces or mayo, and letting the fish shine through which is pretty decent quality. I like their sides, especially their seaweed and crab salads. The wakame salad is decent too, their cucumber salad was the only pass for me. This place is definitely worth a try for when you're craving poke.

Spicy salmon bowl
Lilian L.

I ordered the spicy salmon bowl off of ritual and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the place was. The atmosphere of Pokito is bright and inviting, and while I had limited interaction with the people there, it was pleasant. I really enjoyed the poke bowl though it was not as spicy as I expected and the garlic brown rice was a little too chewy for my taste. I really liked that they included imitation crab in the bowl as well as a large amount of seaweed salad. By contrast, I felt like there wasn't as much salmon in the bowl. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I went to Pokito Toronto and got their vegan poke bowl. So happen it's their daily special!! The vegan bowl is made with beyond tuna (which doesn't taste like tuna at all haha), ahimi, avocado, edamame, tofu, seaweed. The fresh wakame seaweed is really delicious! Like it slightly crispy!! Yum I always love how poke bowl is nutritious, delicious and refreshing.

spicy salmon bowl
Michelle D.

I had the spicy salmon bowl with a mix of garlic brown rice and mixed greens and fresh wakame seaweed. Although it says spicy, it did not feel spicy at all for me even with the addition of jalapenos. The bowl was very good but I feel like their classic bowls might be better since there are more toppings and therefore perhaps more flavours and textures going on. There was a good portion of salmon and it tasted fresh. But overall, I felt the portion could have been larger for $14. Service was excellent and quick.

Hawaiian BBQ beef plate with an egg and garnishes on brown rice

Pokito is a Poke bowl place on Queen Street that opened here a few years ago. While I've been here a number of times, it took me a while to warm up to this place because their prices initially put me off. After several visits, I felt more and more that it was worth it. Their Poke tastes so fresh and their portions of protein are great. They have everything added in their reportoire for what makes a great tasting Hawaiian poke, especially adding furikake to their rice which no other places do. What actually ended up sealing the deal for me was their recently introduced Hawaiian hot plates. Hawaiian comfort food is so rare outside Hawaii; there's literally no places that serve these dishes in Toronto until Pokito picked them up. Pokito does it really well too; the sweet and savoriness of their Kalua pork was on point, and the slightly crispy texture of the pulled and roasted pork was to die for. Their fresh, flavourful food aside, there's one other thing that sticks out about Pokito, and it's definitely their garnish bar. After ordering your food, you can put as many toppings and as much as you want of any of the garnishes onto your poke. They have anything from togarashi powder (highly recommend), to coconut flakes, fried onions, pickled ginger and even jalapeno peppers; all these can add a ton of crunch and flavour to your lunch. All of Pokito's varied options are delicious, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Pokito as one of my favourite places for eats on Queen Street!

Lulu Bar - Salt & Pepper Pork Belly ($12)

I'm so glad I checked out happy hour at Lulu Bar. Their menu brings a Pacific coastal vibe,…read moreblending Hawaiian, Asian, Californian, and BC-inspired flavors. As soon as I walked in, I got that warm, beachy vacation-bar energy. We tried the char siu bao, pork belly, chicken wings, beef chuck, and their house-made Spam burger on a Hawaiian bun, along with a kale salad topped with gochujang macadamia nuts. Every dish delivered on flavor, but my favorites were the burger and the kale salad. Happy hour drinks were all reasonably priced, and I loved how they were served in cute glassware. They also had a great selection of local craft beers for $7, which was amazing. As a beer lover, I got to try brews from Dominion, Bellwoods, and Rorschach. I'll probably wait for a menu refresh and come back to try a whole new round of bites--but overall, such a great vibe for happy hour.

While walking near the well, we stumbled upon this bar and decided to go in. When we first asked for a table on the patio, the manager refused, saying it was fully reserved, which was not true. Then, in the ground floor bar area, almost every table was empty except for 1, and he again said everything was reserved. It felt a bit weird, but we agreed to wait. We stood outside in the cold windy night for about 15 minutes while discussing whether to go somewhere else. It had been a long day and we didn't have the energy to start over so we stayed. After a while, the manager returned and offered us a table on the second floor. We accepted, sat down, and ordered a variety of food and drinks, all of which were nice. The servers were great as well. I was left wondering though if we were treated differently because we were dressed casually or for some other reason. Overall, it was an okay experience.

I decided to get a Blue Hawaii cocktail, which was beautifully presented to me. My friends also enjoyed their cocktails, and the time to wait for a table went by fairly quickly. We decided to share an order of their vegetarian baos, which were pretty good and surprisingly hearty. We asp shared an order of their tempura corn fritters, which were also hearty and tasty. I decided to get their jackfruit fried rice, which was unfortunately pretty lackluster. I felt like it needed something, perhaps more salt or soy sauce. Other than that, we had a lovely meal here and the restaurant itself was beautiful. A fun place to go out to if you happen to be in Toronto.

Honestly wasn't the biggest fan of the fried chicken as I found it lackluster. I really enjoyed the aloha burger though. Chorizo burgers are definitely more unique and I really liked the flavor and the grilled pineapple (I will always argue in favour of pineapple on burgers and pizzas). We also ordered drinks and they were not watered down which I appreciate. Overall presentation was A+, great place for a casual date with the girls or your partner.

Last night we reserved for two specifically in the Tiki Room on their Yelp options. We confirmed the reservation multiple times over text and even messaged we were running a tad behind, when we arrived the hostess working took us to their new Triple Seven Lounge room which is also an option to book on Yelp. I explained we had booked the Tiki Bar, the Triple Seven Lounge was empty and not themed the same, the hostess pretty rudely told us that was all she could give us despite their being an empty table available in the Tiki Room. When we asked about sitting there we were told that they held that table because someone else has a reservation. I explained again that we had a reservation, in the Tiki Room, not the Triple Seven Lounge. The hostess refused to seat us, my partner spoke to a manager and made some progress, but then we were handed back off to the same hostess, who told me I was threatening her when I said that I would post a review detailing they didn't give us our allotted reservation. Very disappointing and impersonal service. We left immediately after being called threatening because we did not want to cause that hostess any harm or unnecessary distress, but will not be back. Careful booking here, they don't value advance reservations. Remove the option to select which room you're in if you're not going to keep to it.

The island vibes hit you immediately - this would be a great place for an intimate party. We ordered: - The Big Kahuna Burger: the pineapple was a welcome addition to this otherwise pretty standard burger. The crinkle fries were also a good texture. 8/10 - Popcorn Shrimp: saucy yet crispy, great choice for an app. 8/10 - Jackfruit & Spinach Dip: I think the jackfruit was in dried form sprinkled on top of the dip, and we honestly didn't taste the jackfruit at all. 6.5/10 And for drinks, I asked them to surprise me with a mocktail. I got a delicious slightly creamy fizzy banana coconut drink. The bartender mentioned it was something he was working on. I hope it is officially on the menu soon! My partner got the Tokyo Drift - could barely taste the alcohol. If you get one of the larger drinks in bowls, they are served with some surprise flair. Cocktails are definitely the specialty here! We were able to nab some free parking on Euclid Ave., but it is also pretty accessible by streetcar. I would definitely come back with a group!
