Great spot for a quick meal. Not very big, just a few seats. The choices made for our bowls were tasty and the ingredients were fresh. As first-timers we felt we could have had a bit more assistance with explanations and direction. Overall good. read more

Poke Poke Box. Healthy healthy food. Veggie veggie veggie. Got to go there for detoxing when you feel so bad after eating so much devil, yet superb, stuff from restaurants all over the place. Family doctors should move their offices here, right next to Poke Box for people's convenience. Recommended. read more

One of my go to places for poke in Markham! They have a really nice variety of poke flavours. I'm pretty sure we've tried all of them now and they all taste delicious. I love that this place doesn't skimp on the toppings that go into their bowls. The portion is also decent as their regular sized poke bowl fills me up nicely and I can never finish the large! Staff here are always polite and work quickly to get your order filled. There's also a sit down area if you want to enjoy your poke bowl on the spot but I normally do take out. Prices are a little high but a good treat once in a while! read more

Wow! The poke bowls here are stacked and full of goodness. Lots of variety of toppings and the fish were fresh. We also tried the bowl with duck (forgot what it is named) and it was tasty as well. Got a mix of zucchini noodles and brown rice for each bowl. The brown rice was fresh and warm. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a quick and relatively healthier takeout meal! read more

My favourite spot to get poke in the city! Their portions are huge, even for the regular sized box. The fish and topping ingredients are always fresh. My go to is the big umami which features salmon & tuna in their house made shoyu sauce. The service was welcoming & kind, they were patient in taking my order as I decided what I wanted in the bowl. There are a few small tables if you wish to dine in & eat it at the restaurant! Overall, it is a takeout style resto as you order and proceed to pay. read more

The Poké Box - Lunch California dressing with a drink - Poke Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I came here for lunch for the first time yesterday, and WOW it was excellent! I ordered the regular Big Umami Box, and it was fresh, filling and delicious. I have not had a lot of Poke in my life, but I know what I like, and I know what tastes good - and the Poke Box knows it too! Service was super friendly and helpful when it came to trying to decide what to order. With it being my first time, I asked for the most popular request and it was a great choice! I can see why it's so popular. The fish tasted firm and fresh, and the amount of food that I got was filling and kept me going through the afternoon without feeling sluggish and tired. There were only 3 tables and a long bar-top style seating area, so maybe don't plan on eating there with a group. I'm definitely adding this spot to my rotation - it was a tad pricey but to be honest, when you're getting the quality and quantity that you get here, it's worth it! read more

We were recommended this place form a friend. There was a bogo deal on Ubereats so we figured we should try it. The food was packaged well and arrived in reasonable time. The bowl itself had ample amounts of salmon and tuna which were fresh. The seaweed salad on the corners were great. Avocado was ripe and fresh. The sushi rice on the bottom was well cooked not mushy. We enjoyed the other mixed veges, tempura bits, green onions and sauce mixed in. It had a nice fresh and salty/sweet flavor to it all. Would definitely get this again. Price: Pretty similar pricing to other poke places but the freshness and quality is quite good here. Would definitely return. read more

There and back again. Finally went back for poké based on popular demand! It's great when a place named The Poké Box sells exactly that. First time since opening, I returned for another experience. The teal & pink decor brings good vibes, but the key is fresh fish. Big Umami contains everything that I love in a poké box: shoyu salmon, ahi tuna, avocado, seaweed salad, topped by tempura bites and furikake. The fish is lightly-seasoned to still be able to taste the freshness this time. Sauced it up with shoyu & Waikiki mayo. For choice of base, try zucchini noodles to feel extra healthy! With many options around, glad this shop will be one I keep in mind. read more

I enjoy eating poke bowls whenever I'm craving something fresh. I always opt for the poke bowl. Love how fresh their tuna and salmon are with just the perfect amount of shoyu. The edamame, corn and seaweed salad is a nice touch of texture on perfectly cooked rice. Love the bits of tamago and Kanu salad too. Leaves you feeling full, but in a nice way where you don't feel gross after or need mounts of water from sodium overkill. read more

Location/Service This place is right at the intersection of Woodbine/Highway 7 - within the same plaza as LA Fitness, with plenty of parking available. Love their interior decor - very IG friendly with their pink electric signs and also specific quotes that are poke puns. Staff were nice and my online order was ready right on time. Food I would reco potentially check out different online food ordering apps - cause I scored a pretty good BOGO deal for their defaulted Poke Box for around $25 or so. Tried their Big Umami bowl and I was very surprised how tasty it is! This is by far one of the best poke places I've had. Everything was fresh and the combo selection of the rice, veggies and sauce really blended so well together! The quantity was also huge, even though I only ordered a regular size - was super stuffed and full. read more

New fav place for poke bowl, mainly because of the zucchini noodle base, so fresh and nice portion. Perfect healthy option for lunch after workout across the parking lot at LA Fitness.

Ouuuuf there's a new Poké spot in town and don't worry it actually comes in a box!! All jokes aside, I think this place might be as good as Poké Guys! So far I've only tried it once but definitely will be back to try their other boxes. I ordered "The Poké Box" ($12.90), please forgive me for the terrible picture. Its really hard to focus when there's something so immaculate in front of you, I'm sure y'all can relate. Everything was fresh and delicious, not to mention really filling. Well worth every calorie! Love how you're able to order on their website for the convenience and to not have to pay for service fees on third party apps, now that's thinking outside of the box! Can't wait for my next cheat day to get some more! read more

At first I thought I had found a new poke spot, though it's a half truth - turns out I had actually been to one of the downtown locations. Anyways, came by for a Saturday takeout lunch. I got the regular "Big Umami" box, which has salmon, ahi tuna, avocado, and a whole host of other ingredients. Everything was fresh, sauced appropriately, and I thought the rice was cooked well. The only thing was trying to mix the box, because it was so packed! The takeout experience was great too. There are many options to preorder (food apps, their own website, phone), though I just ordered in store. It was made quickly and the staff made sure to check if my box was done the way I wanted, mainly relating to the finishing touch toppings. I liked how they had the boxes and their sizes displayed so everyone can gauge what would be ideal. There are patio chairs outside to enjoy your freshly made box - I went on a rainy day but I would certainly want to do that sometime. read more

Love everything...from the variety of poke toppings to the staff. It was awesome of them to let me sub out the AHHH-LOHA tuna for salmon instead. They also accommodated with my request on putting some of my toppings in a separate small container to keep it crisp. Loved the mango sauce. But they were very heavy-handed with their shoyu dressing so the saltiness overpowered it. Next time, I'll ask for less sauce :) I've also tried their Sun-soaked poke and loved it too! read more

I'm quite impressed with Poke Box! I'll definitely be ordering again. I had my friend pick this up for me since my day was going so bad. Their selection for sauces is a bit limited in my opinion. I don't eat spicy of any kind so I can't try out the other ones. I did a telephone order and the lady on the other line was polite and kind. She listened to all my substitutions and extras/addons I requested. For their signature boxes you can substitute one item for one. Otherwise it's extra charge, just ask and they will let you know. As you can see I asked fir extra extra onions and they did not disappoint!! Their salmon tasted nice and fresh or at least not old like other Pokebowl places that I've tried. The greens were nice and crunchy, definitely fresh as well! I love that they have tamago which I haven't had in a while. Tastes great too! The takeaway for me was their portion size (I got a regular and this was massive!), the crab salad (drool omg!), and the use or a box instead of plastic for recycling! I will be coming back!! read more

The Poké Box - The Poke Box Bowl - Poke Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Ordered this via UberEats around a month ago when they had a BOGO offer. I had the Poke Box while my brother had the Rip Tide bowl. Both were solid but needed some more sauce. Portion size was good; as we did BOGO the bowl came out to around $10 each, which was great value for the bowl. At original price, I wouldn't pay ~$16 for this, as there are better options out there in terms of flavour. There was an ample amount of salmon and tuna in my bowl, but the fish wasn't as fresh as I've had elsewhere; it leaned towards being a bit chewy. Sauce was okay but there wasn't even close to being enough of it; about halfway in I ran out of sauce and had to mix my own, different, sauce to add in on the side. Definitely not something I want to do again since one main point of eating out is to not have to cook. Sauce also seemed like it wasn't creamy/thick enough, so I didn't feel it added much flavour to the bowl. All other toppings were good and went well with the bowl. Rice was fresh and had enough rice vinegar in it. All in all a decent bowl, but nothing I'd go back for at the original price of $16. The ingredients and all are great, but sauce fails to bring this bowl from "good, I guess I will eat it" to "great, I'll come back for more", which often happens with poke places. On to the next one! read more

Portions are also very generous. I usually get the regular size and I feel full with it. My go-to order is their signature poke box which includes salmon and tuna and both are always so fresh! You can also choose up to two bases and customize the other items you want with it. Highly recommend this place if you're craving some poke! read more

Last Friday, I did some browsing in my Uber Eats app and spotted The Poke Box. It was offering a deal where you buy one poke box (the big crunch) and you get a second one for free. The big crunch consists of tempura shrimp, cucumber, cabbage, red pepper, crab salad, spicy mayo, waikiki mayo, green onion, fish roe, and sesame seeds. It comes with sushi rice in this BOGO deal, which you couldn't customize. Although I am more of a mixed greens person when it comes to poke meals, I decided to give this deal a shot. It was an $18 savings, which was crazy! I scheduled my order for pickup at 5:30 pm last Saturday. It gave me enough time driving over here from running errands in Mississauga. I actually showed up five minutes earlier than I had expected. The Poke Box is tucked into a corner of a plaza that I used to frequent often. I used to get Portuguese egg tarts from Michael-Angelo's before it closed down and became LA Fitness. I also ate at Teriyaki Experience a few doors down. I am pleased that it's still around. There was lots of parking when I got here. When the notification came in that my order was ready, I got out of my parked car and walked into the eatery. There was a couple in front of me. A nice man knew who I was and had my order ready. Nice! I took photos of the interior like the tourist that I can be in my own city. He asked whether I wanted more sauces with my meals. It was such a kind gesture. I said that I was fine (I didn't know how much sauce was included in my meals to begin with) and wished him a pleasant evening. He reciprocated. I got home and placed one order in the fridge to eat the next day. I then went ahead and had the other box for dinner. Let's start with what it's called the big crunch. There is no escape when you take a bite of the tempura shrimp. It's lightly battered, but is incredibly crunchy and delicious. Each one was so fresh, as were all ingredients in the meal. It was tasty, right down to the sushi rice that I normally don't get. The flavours married nicely. I loved the crab salad. So good! You get a lot of food in this poke box. I was stuffed and in a carb coma when I was done. I had the second poke box the following day. Even a day later, the tempura shrimp tasted so fresh and yummy. No sogginess. It had more flavour. I was impressed. The deal is now over. I have found a cool poke place that I love. I will return and switch out the sushi rice for either mixed greens or zucchini noodles. I'm not a huge squash eater, but I don't mind zucchini noodles these days. It's refreshing to low-carb options. I am impressed with this place. I have no idea how long it has been kicking around or what this establishment was previously, but I am so glad that there are more poke options in Markham. (445) read more

I was up in the Markham area with a friend and felt like something healthy that is not hot! We decided to try this location since I haven't had the opportunity to try this location yet! I ordered the Big Umami on greens in the size small and was surprised at how filling it was for me! The ingredients were fresh and the whole combination together was very tasty and a healthy lunch option! For the portion, variety of ingredients and amount of fish, $12.99 for a small box is a pretty fair pricing! This is a place I will visit again if I'm in the area! read more

This is the best poke box place in town. I know this place from DT where I work before pandemic, so glad that they open another location uptown. Their portion is generous, fish are fresh, and this BoGo at uber eats is definitely a steal! I usually can't finish the whole thing, (maybe around 2/3 of the bowl) and I eat a lot as a girl . I have tried other pokes on the menu as well, they ALL TASTE GREAT! But personally I like raw fish this poke box is the best to me :) We will always come back. Thank you for making such good poke. read more

I love this place. It's a go to place for me and my friends for a quick lunch. Pros: - I like "the poke box" which is one of the signature boxes - i got a regular and it was filling - the salmon and tuna is fresh - I decided to do a half and half as my base and I chose half grain blend and half zucchini noodles - the zucchini noodles remained crisp despite the sauce on top plus ingredients Cons: - the house shoyu is too salty for me with the base that I chose Overall: 5/5 stars, I would recommend lesser shoyu or ask for it on the side so you can control how much sauce you use read more

I was looking for a place for a quick lunch, and found The Poke Box. The location was not too difficult to find, with the help of my navigation app. I arrived at lunch time, and there was a small line, but the efficient and streamlined operation kept the line moving fast. I ordered the regular size Big Umami (salmon, ahi tuna, sweet onion, avocado, seaweed salad, tempura bits, house shoyu, waikiki mayo, cabbage, furikake, green onion) with sushi rice. The serving size was enough for my appetite. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors went really well together and it had a nice balance of textures. To make it perfect, a little bit more of salmon and tuna would have been better. Plenty of parking available on the premises. Service was efficient. TLDR; fresh poke box, efficient service read more

I had just finished an afternoon of climbing and wanted something healthy-ish but tasty. The Poke Box was really close by so we stopped in to grab food. If you turn into the LA Fitness you can get to the restaurant through the same parking lot. The lot for the LA FItness is kind of separated so you don't have to fight with the gym goers for space. There was only one person ahead of us when we got there. Imagine our surprise when we had to wait for numerous UberEats and other delivery orders to be completed before we were served :(. The employee did apologize for the wait but it was disappointing that customers dropping in were lower priority than the pickup orders. The poke bowls here come in two different sizes - regular and large. They seem to be more reasonably priced than other poke places at around $12 - $14 before tax. There are a ton of preset options that help with dietary restrictions (gluten-free or veggie) and ones that are themed (spicy, umami based, etc). read more

The Poké Box - Lava blaze + avocado - Poke Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My go-to for good poké!! There's a 'secret base' called the Jbabe base (zucchini noodles & sushi rice)! Sushi rice has just the right amount of vinegar and is perfectly cooked (not too soft nor too hard), zucchini noodles is always, and I mean ALWAYS fresh! My go to here is their Pokebox, Ruffled Up, and during the days where I'm vegetarian, I go for their Little Island. Reasons I go for the following boxes: The Pokebox: * salmon & tuna is the Pokebox is always fresh * I love the sauce they add in * their tamago, oh my god, it's SO good * I don't remember if it comes with kani salad, but if it doesn't, ADD IT!!!! Ruffled Up: * I love smoked duck & tempura shrimp - never imagined these two things would taste this good together * it comes with tamago (my favourite) Little Island: * their tofu medley is honestly AMAZING (you can add it on to any base)! * shittake is flavorlful & it goes well with their tofu medley Service: 5 out of 5 Food: 5 out of 5 read more

My favorite place for poke bowls. Portions are generous, many options to choose from (including half grain/half rice). My favorite is the Poke Box as it comes with tamago! I love that you can order online and pickup. Only complaint is the eco-friendly/cardboard containers they use - I find the moisture soaks through and the rice sticks to the cardboard-which is a soggy mess after anything longer than an hour. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fresh and savory food! Excellent quality ingredients and the food is made to order. I must say the staff is very polite and they allow you to take your time when deciding what toppings are chosen. I will definitely return! read more

The Poké Box - Lava blaze bowl - Poke Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Overall 4.5/5. Will come back and get their poke, hence the 5 over the 4 star rating. Great service, fast and convenient. Good selection on the menu. Reasonable price for the portions. I opted for the bowl that came with duck and shrimp tempura, which I enjoyed overall and will give it a solid 4.5/5. Good duck meat and smoked meat flavour. Probably not made in house but at least the one they chose was well seasoned. The shrimp tempura, which is not your classically light and airy version from japanese restaurants, was surprisingly still enjoyable. After an hour even, the batter was still crispy, had a good taste of saltiness to it but not overly seasoned, and the shrimp inside was decent in size. The pairing with mandarin went well with the duck, and the other pairings were complementary to everything. Can use a bit more toppings overall, but I think its a nice and balanced bowl for poke. Would come back to try their fish as I feel like those would make it or break it. Will edit review when thats done! read more

Ordered the Sun Soaked bowl. The salmon, avocado, sprouts, beets and coconut all go really well together. I had mine with zoodles and deep fried onions and it was SO GOOD.

I wish there was an option for 3.5 stars. We ordered the Umami and Aloha bowls. Generous amount of toppings and large portion size, which I struggled to finish even with a large appetite. The reasons why I knocked off a few stars from this poke joint are: 1. Sushi rice was cold. Wish it was at least room temperature. 2. The topping combinations and selections could be better in comparison to other poke places I have been to in the GTA. For example, real mango pieces would be better than the sauce, which I hardly taste as the real mango pieces would be a nice palate cleanser to the topping combination. 3. Both of the bowls lacked the sauces so in the end they tasted almost alike. 4. Some of the pieces of fish was stringy. Would I come back? Maybe, for their later hours. Are there better places? Yes. P.S. Not a part of the review but....Also got a can of iced coffee, which only contained 10% kona coffee. Don't recommend it, as it tastes like watered down Vietnamese ice coffee. Lots of water and lacked the coffee flavour. Don't waste your money on it. read more
