There's been a Poke craze in Toronto lately. I've already tried 3 of these Poke eateries, and while I was not impressed with any of them, this one is slightly above average. The value is not great, it's quite pricey for what it is. I understand that fish is expensive, but they don't put enough of it to justify the price. I can get a whole box full of sashimi for less during lunch hours. read more

Pokito has one of the best poke that I've ever had. Ordered the Classic Salmon bowl with mixed greens instead of rice for a lighter choice and it was yummy. The service was also really good, the person who worked the cash was really helpful. Since it was my first time there, he explained the menu and helped me decide on what to order. The atmosphere was pretty casual - a good place to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

The 420 poke bowl is amazing! Always fresh and delicious. Staff is also always super friendly and wait times are short. read more

I got 420 bowl, tuna and salmon, and it was so tasty. I've tried poke before, but this one is the best one for me! People and place are also nice. I'll definitely come back! read more

I came in early afternoon for lunch. Not busy hour. There were 3 customers in front of me. Cashier can't print off proper receipt. The girl prep food is new. Can't catch the request " No Onion". gave out wrong order to wrong customer. I guess more training probably. Food is fresh, nothing wrong or exceptional. but too watery, like a lot of water left at bottom of the bowl. read more

I want to give Pokito 3.5 stars not just 3. I didn't know what to expect when I walked into the place. They have the usual build your own bowl or pre-made bowls. I went with the 420 bowl, which was their most popular bowl, it had both tuna and salmon, edamame beans, seaweed salad, corn, avocado and I also put avocado sauce, which as quite tasty. I got the regular size, which cost $16 including tax, which is not unusual for poke bowls. The nice thing about Pokito, is the toppings you can add, it's always a bonus when you can add your own toppings and add as much or little as you want. The flavours were quite tasty, but I am not quite sure if they give you enough salmon, tuna and other toppings that come with the bowl for the price that you pay. I would go back to try a different kind of bowl since the flavours were good, but wouldn't be the place I consistently go to. Also, they play the best way back play back songs! Loved that. read more

Pokito - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not what I was expecting. You can not create your own bowl as the website still says. You have to choose one of the signatures and remove/add what you don't like/like. And the attendant was not so happy about it. Also, they initially said they don't have non-marinated fish, but when I said I can't have oils (sesame oil for instance, usually used on the marinade), then he said he could get non-marinated in the back... But again, not very happy about it... Overall, just a disappointing experience. Won't go back. read more

I never had a Poke bowl before but was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. I ordered the spicy salmon bowl and I found all the ingredients to be very fresh and tasty. My family ordered The 420 Poke bowl and also commented on the quality of the ingredients. We all enjoyed our Poke bowl and would eat here again. read more

2 stars is only for the taste. I ordered Spicy salmon bowl with extra tofu and extra salmon. Firstly, they messed the order between me and my coworkers. One of my coworker was about to start eating his bowl(it is supposed to be mine) until I noticed that my bowl doesn't have any tofu in it. So because they gave wrong bowl to all of us, I almost lost about $5 on that($2 for extra tofu, $2 for extra salmon). Secondly, portion of the salmon I had was just the same as my friend's, and he didn't even order the extra salmon. Extra tofu comes with only 4 pieces only. I get it that these type of dish is generally expensive but 4 pieces tofu for $2 and another $2 for extra salmon and ended up getting almost nothing? And one of my coworker ordered brown rice and he didn't get it; one of my coworker ordered extra tuna and didn't get any... Would not come back again....SU&BU,Cali Love, etc. are much better. read more

Ordered the 420 with tuna & salmon over UberEats and thought it was pretty mediocre. Hawaiian guacomole was strange, tasted sour and did not mix well with the sweet onions in place. Very small portion of fish and I thought that the ponzu sauce was too overpowering. My box came with 80% rice basically - was not very impressed. read more

Friendly service. Lots of options for toppings. Clean atmosphere and large seating area compared to other poke places. I'm giving it a 3 star because I like my poke simple and I find the combination of toppings and flavours mixed together are overwhelming. It doesn't reflect the traditional poke experience (simple, meant to enjoy quality fish), but this seems to be a Toronto bastardization of poke and Pikito is not the only culprit. I do find this place nicer than Poke Guys. read more

Decent poke spot but the portions are not worth the price. Lots of topping choices, flavors are solid, but when you are spending $15-17 without tax for a bowl it better be filled to the brim. Some of the flavor combos/toppings are a bit strange. Also tried their sushi burrito which is basically a big sushi roll. Would be more interesting if they used different paper rolls like spots in LA where there are some great sushi burrito trucks. The portions at Calii Love are better, tastes good as well, and about the same price. read more

Tuna was fresh and they give you lots of yummy toppings! One of the best poke bowls I've had in T.O.! The service was also great. The guy was very friendly and recommended I did half sushi rice and half garlic rice since I was unsure. read more

Pokito - Tuna poke! - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Overall I'm a fan of Pokito. I've been to Hawaii many times and loveee poke so the whole 'build your bowl' movement is a little weird to me (it's not a sub!). Anyway, the flavours here are good and you have a ton of options. Literally took me 10 minutes to order because there are a bajillion options with every bowl. The price is reasonable and the goods (fish/topping) to filler (rice/salad) ratio is good! read more

I ordered the 420 bowl last night from UberEats, on the sole basis that it came with guacamole. Sadly it arrived without it. The rest of the meal tasted great and was super fresh. But I was super disappointed by the lack of guac. Not sure if they ran out or maybe forgot? The portion was also on the small side compared to what I was expecting, the reviews I've read said the portion was quite large. Wondering if they scaled back for food cost or maybe it would have been more filling with the avo. I would try again if I went to the restaurant but not likely to order delivery again. read more

I was here yesterday for the grand opening. I got two spicy salmon bowls because of their BOGO promotion. Although I was a bit early than the time stated on the promotion they were kind enough to let me get the offer. Five stars for their customer service. While making my poke bowl a piece of the salmon fell onto the sauce bottles and instead of putting it in, my server threw it out as should be done. I appreciated that! For topping I got corn, mango, and avacado, and seaweed salad. All were delicious. I didn't find the salmon spicy though. read more

Ordered the daily special - spicy salmon bowl. Pretty good. Nice textures with the different ingredients. You get options for base - garlic brown rice, sushi rice and mixed green. read more

Pokito - Spice salmon bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The place is well maintained. The staff seems to be really nice and friendly. Ingredient wise, the salmon and tuna that I had was fresh. However, it felt a bit too greasy for me. read more

I ordered a classic tuna poke bowl with sushi rice and was delighted to have experienced such a tasty surprise. It had flaked panko-fried onion, cabbage, crab and thin slices of pickled ginger which was healthy, affordable and much tastier than the original I had had in Honolulu. If you're new to Hawaiian order this classic dish and you'll not even think to stray off the beaten path with the more adventurous ones. Sometimes simple is spot on! read more

One hit wonder. It's a fad but it just didn't hit the spot. I got the 420 burrito but it was very messy and lacked a lot of fish. I'm from the states and food culture in Toronto is definitely lacking read more

The make yourself poke bowl was delicious though the portion is a bit too big for me. Would definitely visit again when I'm visiting Toronto again read more

Pokito - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Tons of new poke places are popping up left and right. I'm a fan of the food here but the prices are a bit more than other spots. Not much else to say because I don't want my poke reviews to be copy and paste :) read more

Just been there one time, but the experience was nice and I'll be willing to return. I had the 420 bowl, the fish is fresh and cut into big pieces, which I like since you can really taste the fish. The mix of ingredient is nicely done, the choice of garlic brown rice is a good option which I've never seen before, and the extra free toppings is a nice finishing touch. Price-wise, it's in the range of every other poke bowls in the city, so it is acceptable to me. And like many places, you can custom your bowl, which is never a bad thing. Another good point is the number of seats. It is not huge but there is a nice number of seats, which is not always the case. All in all, very satisfied by this Poke experience! read more

as i am experimenting all the different poke places in Toronto, i stumbled across this place with my pal. the workers are very sweet and will help you if you are confused on how/what to order. the portion size is pretty good, i didnt feel terribly full after but not hungry either. the only issue is the price!! i can go to another place and get a larger portion for like 5 dollars less. and it sucks how making your bowl into a burrito costs an extra dollar. the food was good but a little over priced for my student taste. read more

Pokito - this costed me 17 bucks!! yikes - Hawaiian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My first poke experience in Toronto. I remember my favorite in Hawaii that was super simple. I tried the spicy salmon bowl. It was tasty lots of stuff inside like the toppings and stuff but sometimes simple is best. Tasted good and I had brown rice. The others had plain rice and mentioned it was hard. Nice staff and accommodated to make me some hot water to warm my baby's bottle. For going that extra mile I was very happy cause they don't keep hot water on hand. Disappointed dole whip wasn't available but on the menu. read more

Delicious, and super friendly. The pineapple froyo is an awesome touch

i'm not a poke expert, but what i ate from pokito was delicious. the best poke i've experienced in toronto so far. if i was a twenty year old, the standard portion would leave me hungry. however, those days are past and i found the 420 the perfect amount of food. there was a generous amount of fresh fish and other quality toppings. the service was fast and friendly. the place is big and clean. would definitely try again. read more

Damn, this is really good. So excited that Poke has come to Toronto. The best I previously had was in Southern California and this is up there. Impressive. And the options they offer for customization (marinades, garnishes, rice vs. salad) are awesome. A must visit. read more

Pokito is a cute poké shop where you build your bowl, like Chipotle. The guy could tell we were new & helped us out, even for our friends who were new to poké he gave good recommendations for what toppings to choose. The portion was a bit on the small size, bc I felt if I was a bit hungrier I would've ordered the bowl & the burrito. But nevertheless, super good, awesome flow read more

I went all out with my Pokito and maybe should had toned it back a bit. There was so much going on that I couldn't really taste the fish. Next time I will try a poke bowl instead. I really liked the cleanliness and the employees were great. read more

I recently wrote a review for The Big Tuna Poke Bar and this place takes the cake, hands down. Highly recommended.

A bit on the expensive side but the food was delicious. We made our own bowls with tuna and salmon and the fish was very fresh. Would go again. read more

My first ever sushi burrito. It taste like a giant Maki but they put good fillings inside to make it a little different like seaweed salad. It's big and filling. I wouldn't eat this everyday but definitely would come back and try the poke bowls. read more

Great Poke - I ordered from their classic menu (The 420) and the food was tasty. The fish (salmon and tuna) was fresh and even their brown rice was made to perfection. Would go again when I am back in the area - a bowl came to a total of $16.80 which is high for a meal but the ingredients were very fresh! read more

I've eaten here a number of times for poke bowls. Great for dropping in and grabbing takeout. The biodegradable containers keep getting rice stuck to them, but they line the rest of the container with lettuce which helps with the fish etc. from sticking. read more

Delicious, fresh Poke bowls. Also has great burritos. Great Service, really friendly atmosphere, you can tell all the staff care about this restaurant. Tried the 420 Bowl, tuna, salmon, delish ponzu lime sauce, as well as hawaiian guac (which is a nice change from traditional guac). All the flavors complemented eachother, I added taro chips and crispy onions to mine. Also had the Classic Tuna Burrito, it's the biggest burrito I've seen so far. It contains crab salad, Japanese mushrooms, this sweet ginger sauce, and a bunch of other stuff. I added Avocado wasabi to it, and it had a nice heat and cream to it. The place was clean and I like the design. I also like how they personalize your bowl by writing your name on it. read more

My bowl looked really ugly but tastes great, got the spicy salmon..would ask for less mayo in it next time because ..too much mayo and extra calories. The bowl is very filling though, hard to eat in one sitting but can't save raw fish so nom nom nom quickly read more

Was slightly disappointed, the service was slow and the menu for toppings was confusing. I ordered the spicy salmon burrito and was underwhelmed. It was just ok, it was under seasoned and pricey. I don't think I would go back. read more

Stopped by after work to get a custom sushi burrito. Got one with salmon and extra toppings. Comparing to other places, the size and amount of ingredients are awesome, it's huge and filling with right amount of rice. Everything tastes fresh and simply delicious. A bit on a pricey side, but that's what you'd expect, if you went to sushi burrito places before. read more

was curious about the poke craze and so when I passed by pokito and that it was not as crowed as the sandwiches I decided to go in. I hate heard from Hawaiian friends about poke and the delicious fish, the rice and the seasoning. I decided to get the 420 as the sales person recommended as the best first taste of poke. Rice (cold), salmon, tuna, guacamole, pineapple, crispy taro, Wakame salad and more. All pretty health ingredients and a good size for $14. I find the taste pleasant not extraordinary and addictive I wish it had more punch but the marriage of texture is good but feels too soft in the end. I cannot justify the high pricing for a well furnished rice bowl. read more
