    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!

    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!

    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.

    My favourite place to order poke. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavourful, and so satisfying. They're always consistent, and I've never been let down. Love this place.

    Salmon and tuna poke bowl

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Big Umam Bowl, regular size

    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.

    Bebe B.

    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. Lots of bowl options, and build your own is really nice and fun too! It gets pretty busy during Lunch, but everyone working there is fast and quick.

    A solid spot for a delicious poke bowl! I tried the regular poke bowl, which was filled to the brim with amazing flavours and was a reasonable price (around $15). Even the regular was quite a large portion, which I am certainly not complaining about.

    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!

    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.

    Came here with some friends for the omakase special meal…read more Such a lovely overall standard omakase experience and meal. The highlight for me was probably the set of four starter appetizers, they were flavourful, delicately prepared and perfect way to start the meal. I liked the slightly pickled dish with cucumbers the best. We also had sushi prepared with fresh seafood. The rice was probably my favorite compared to other places I've been. It was perfectly seasoned rice, warm and cooked to have just the right texture, not overcooked and not undercooked. The rice held up well when picked up by hand and complemented the flavours of the fish. Finished the meal with a matcha flavored pudding flan type dessert which had deep matcha flavours. If you're a fan of matcha, you'd probably enjoy it too. All in all, the meal was enjoyable, the torched tuna sushi was probably my favorite sushi of the set and my least favorite was the egg/eel, I was expecting a sweet egg at the end so it unexpected.

    Taki is a fine dining Japanese restaurant located in the busy commerical areas of Richmond Hill…read more We recently had lunch here for a special occasion. The restaurant is super quiet and they offer great quality of food with great service, and the price is expensive if you choose to order sukiyaki set (expect $80+ per person). You can choose between sushi sets at different price level or sukiyaki from the menu. This suits the need of our group given some people prefer sushi but some couldn't eat raw food. They also offer a couple of limited appetizer dishes such as tempuras and unagi don. If you booked the sukiyaki table and want to order sushi, you need to call them in advance to notify which sushi sets you want. We tried the sashimi and sushi courses at $55, which included miso soup, 5 pieces of sashimi, 8 pieces of sushi (squid, toros, salmon, scallop etc.), handroll and matcha or black sesame icecream at your choice. The sushi is smaller than average, suitable for small eaters. The course is totally worth the money. I love every piece of sashimi and my favourite sushi include the scallop and the squid. Everything was super fresh. The dessert was also having the perfect sweetness level for me. In addition, we also tried the sukiyaki for two ($110), which includes mushrooms, cabbages, great quality of Angus beef, yummy tofu and udon. Again, all the material was with great quality and super fresh. I especially liked the sweet sukiyaki soup, the tofu and the udon. We also ordered some shareable dishes including chawanmushi, unagi don and cod. Cod was cooked to perfect (soft and flavourful), and unagi don had quite decent portion. It would be better if the unagi could be softer from my personal opinion. Chawanmushi was mediocre. Overall, I strongly recommend this restaurant to fan of Japanese cuisine. It meets different people's needs by offering both cooked and raw food options, and the sushi set definitely has great value for money.

They tasted very fresh, however they were rather thinly sliced. Came on a Thursday for lunch and it was rather busy. The udon bowl I saw from another table looked quite large, so I might try that next time. Wish their lunch udon set came with a sashimi option. The seating feels quite private, as most of them are partitioned booths. They have a servicing button which is nice. I'm guessing bc it's hard to catch the staff with the way the booths are setup.

The worst was the beef sashimi which had the gnarliest grey colour (ykno the colour when meat is leftover sitting in the fridge for way too long) and had no sear at all either. Sushi temperature was much too warm and the variety was pretty basic for the 2 person platter. Shrimp tempura was good tho - not too oily and not overcooked. The restaurant was extremely hot inside, the A/C was no where near the right temperature for how hot it's been this summer. It was also extremely noisy inside since the restaurant is relatively small - not really a place for a quiet, lowkey meal.

The menu for dinner is quite robust and everyone was able to find multiple things that they enjoyed. I particularly love the japanese glass noodles. It goes amazingly with the tomato or sukiyaki soup base. I also love that they provided us with a soup skimmer so we could get rid of the oils as we continued to cook. Compared to the Scarborough location, I'd say this one felt calmer even though it was still pretty packed. I think it's just the way the booths are spaced out and it's really well staffed. It wasn't a long wait for anything, and always easy to flag someone down if we needed to order or just needed some help. The parking here though is quite difficult compared to the Scarborough location. Theres a ton of competing restaurants and the lot isn't large enough to accomodate all of them. There's more parking in the underground space though so you can walk through the plaza if you like.

    Back again and incredible again…read more Small tip. You don't need to order on only one phone. As long as you scan the bar code, you can order from any phone. Enter either you own info if paying separately or the same info if one person pays all of it. Lots of new dishes as well as old favourites: Chochin: Tried it. Not a fan. Tastes exactly the way I thought it would. Which is internal organ like but in an unpleasant creamy way. Duck liver raspberry toast: Nice but could be bigger. The raspberry brought an expected nice sweetness to the nice liver taste. A little more raspberry would be nice. Tuskune and egg yolk dip: It's ok but not that big a deal. Cheese momo: Fantastic. The swiss cheese is an excellent pairing to the chicken. Skin-Kawa - Delciious. Crispy. Must have, Hiza (knee cartidlidge): nice and crunchy Beef short rubs boneless: Was enticed due to the tendon part. It was nice but not incredible. Beef tenderloin + Chimichurri: Wife's favourite. We always order several of these. P-toro: Another must repeat. Great pork belly taste. Cherry tomato bacon maki: New and delightful. Bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes provide a delightful burst of tomatoey sweetness wrapped with the unctuousness of bacon. Lamb rib chop: Excellent and tasty. Once again everything was cooked perfectly and the amazing binchotan smoke made everything delicious. Fun fact, they put charcoal in the free water carafes as well.
