sun soaked goodness
Michelle D.

The Poké Box might be my most favourite poké place ever. My most favourite box is the Sun Soaked with TPB grain blend. The box includes edamame, avocado, pumpkin seeds, salmon, kale, pea shoots, toasted coconut, seaweed salad, beet slaw, and ginger honey. It's not only flavourful but it also has lots of different textures which makes the eating experience all the better. Before the pandemic, I would ask to use my reusable container and the staff were always accommodating (I won't be doing that any longer though). I believe they have complimentary miso soup on Mondays.

Aloha something bowl LOL

Amazingggg, fresh, kinda healthy option around Queens Park! They offer a variety of signature bowls but, you can also build your own as well. Their fish is fresh and veggies are all very fresh (except for the salad greens - a few wilty brown pieces) but could use a little bit more marinate/flavouring IMO. The amount of toppings is generous - each bite you take will definitely have some yummy stuff! Price is pretty average for a poke place.. maybe a teensy bit higher than other spots. Def recommend ordering via Ritual.. they're prepared super quick (usually faster than the estimated time) and the lunch rush tends to have a lineup at the counter.

Regular poke box with grain and salad base
Jennifer G.

Fresh, big portions, and friendly staff make this a go to regular lunch spot for those who like sushi and poke alike. The poke box was a great choice, with highlights including their subtly sweet purple grain rice and tamago chunks. I would certainly come by again and perhaps build my own box next time.

"The Poke Box" signature.

I was really excited to find out that The Poke Box was opening up close to my work. I absolutely love poke and this spot is conveniently located in the lower level of the hydro building, off to the side of the food court. It's right next to the exit of Queens Park Subway station too! They seem to have a lot of staff during peak times at lunch, and this made everything run smoothly to ensure that their customers get their box in a timely manner. I've been here 3 times and so far so good. Staff are really friendly and I really like how they have various options to choose from. You can build your own box or choose from their "signatures". I've tried their signature: "The Poke Box" (as shown in my attached photo). I thought it was quite good with big chunks of salmon and tuna! They also let me modify the sauces/flavoring too. I usually like adding Waikiki mayo, and wasabi mayo sauce. I've also tried their build your own "small" box and it's a decent portion for lunch. Cheaper than some places I've tried and probably will be my 'go to' when I order here! I think it was $10.74 for the small box with salmon after taxes. However, you're limited to only 2 mix ins and 1 topping, but I was happy to find out that you get a free extra topping for checking in on yelp! *TIP* Usually when I come here, I like to do half rice and half zucchini noodles. That way if you wanted zucchini noodles as one of your mix ins, you can save it for another item! Healthier option too ;) Con: One thing they could improve on is the quality of their rice. The rice was a bit on the al dente side so maybe it needs to be cooked a little longer? Unfortunately, after getting a poke box today my stomach was feeling a little unsettled after eating it. Not sure if maybe I had a bad batch of salmon or maybe someone didn't wash their hands? I'm hoping to give this spot another try though, because the first 2 boxes I had here were good!

Custom small salmon bowl (brown rice, mixed greens, cucumber, corn, seaweed salad, avocado, fresh ginger, fried onions, and spicy mayo)
Sharon S.

Wow! This place is amazing! I've been looking for a go-to lunch spot near work and this is definitely going to become a regular spot for me. The bowl was delicious and the portion size is incredible for the price. The ingredients were all extremely fresh and healthy. I had a small salmon bowl. I opted for the base to be a blend of brown rice and mixed greens. I topped it off with fresh pickled ginger, seaweed salad, green onion, avocado, jalapeno, corn, cucumbers, fried onions and tons of spicy mayo. For about $10, I was very satisfied with my lunch. The staff was friendly and quick. Will be coming back for more!

Lava blaze - it's lit bowl
JJ K.

I LOVE poke box, but i might be bias because I love poke. Poke box is amazing, I eat there atleast once a week and order the lava blaze with half grain blend half salad. A very popular option is the big umami which consists tuna/salmon, avocado, seaweed salad, onions, crunchy krispies, etc. I personally enjoy salmon more than tuna and i often get very little salmon in big umami so I go for the lava blaze. The lava blaze/it's lit is delicious, the jalapenos make it hot though. The dried garlic for garnish is delicious, i love the combination of food and it's overall a great time. Can never go wrong with poke. As for service, I can say much because its served like a fast food restaurant - atleast i have yet any complaints! Store is really cute and aesthetic btw!

Updated review! It felt like a poke kind of day so I opted to swing by The Poke Box for lunch. The place was still busy even after their grand opening back in late 2019 which is a great sign. I took a long look at the menu while waiting in line and decided to try something different. So I ordered myself a Ruffled Up signature bowl. This is probably the only time I have seen smoked duck on a poke menu and the bowl was well designed with textures and flavours that would compliment the protein. The bowl also came with cooked shrimp, cabbage, sweet onion, and umami shiitake while topped with a savoury tamari glaze. I was wholly impressed with the heartiness and flavours of the toppings over a serving of their personal rice grain blend. The smoked duck was served as delicious gamey cubes where you can see the cross-section of skin, fat, and meat while the shrimp offered a lighter fresher balance. The cucumber dill sauce didn't really have any impact for me and I wished it had a little more punch from the dill itself. The mandarin orange slices weren't my favourite as they looked like they came from a can. Perhaps an alternative would be a nice spritzing of citrus over the bowl instead as an alternative. Overall, came away really impressed with this non-traditional poke bowl and happy to come here again. ---------------------- It felt like a poke kind of day so I opted to swing by The Poke Box for lunch.

Zucchini noodles, double salmon protein. Seaweed, tomago, edamame, oranges, pea shoots, shiitake mushrooms, crispy onions, and corn.

Long Story Short: Delicious poke with many options for toppings, but on the expensive side. Long Story...Long: I come here a lot to buy a quick lunch or dinner to go. There are many options to try. I prefer half sushi rice and half zucchini noodles with double salmon protein. They have a wide variety of toppings to choose from, but adding on more can get quite expensive, even the cheap ingredients are some unwarranted extra coin. Good service, usually no line up (the place is relatively new at the time I write this review). It's more grab-n-go, although there are shared seats outside the actual store that you can use to sit down. Overall, a good visit every time! But my wallet hates me.

Big Ugami and The Poké Box
Michelle C.

I went with a bunch of friends during their opening day promotion: buy one get one free. The sale was only on their speciality boxes. I personally got the Ugami Box: the fish was super for fresh and the combination was exactly what they said: Ugami! I got the larger box and it was definitely worth it because it was definitely two portions for me. I would say that it can be very fIlling (specially if you get it with rice). The base to fish/meat portion was good and I would say it is worth it for its price. I would definitely come back to try their duck box next time!

I decided to try this place after a few coworkers told me how great it was. Conveniently situated very close to my work, I decided to stop by Thursday afternoon and there was already a long line up! The wait was probably 10 minutes to order so it wasn't that bad. I ended up getting the large build your own bowl. I really liked how I was able to do half brown rice and half zucchini noodles as the base. For toppings, I selected corn, edamame, cabbage, avocado, crab slaw salad and seaweed salad. I decided to skip on the protein so I can't comment on how fresh the fish was. For the dressing, I chose the house shoyu and spicy aioli which complimented the meal really well. Overall, the meal came to $10.28 with tax included which is a great deal for a lunch downtown. All the ingredients were also really fresh and I really enjoyed my meal. Will definitely be back next time.

Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village

Mandy's is the perfect lunch spot if you're looking for deliciously dressed, very satisfying salads…read moreand bowls. Their menu is pretty extensive; many options and you can actually create your own salad by checking off a checklist paper at the cash. Their dressings are all super tasty. Their menu staff are super friendly and welcoming. The service is pretty quick, but lunch hour can be a bit hectic as one expects. Super cute atmosphere and front patio seating available on Ossington for people watching as you enjoy your salad. I come here regularly because it's just so tasty, and a healthier option. Highly recommend!

I was really excited to try Mandy's as I've heard such good things about the restaurant. The inside…read moreis beautiful and has 1920s European vibe to it - I loved the decor! For take out, I ordered the Pacific Crunch which has rice noodles, cilantro, mint, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, green onions, edamame, red peppers, mango, cashews, and coconut curry shrimp. The service was quick, as it took about 10 minutes to prepare the bowl. I enjoyed the Pacific Crunch; it was very tasty and the ingredients complimented each other well. However, I am giving Mandy's 3 stars as I was very disappointed with the portion size, especially considering the price. My bowl was only 2/3 full, when compared to the bowl purchased by my friend. For the price, I would expect the bowl to be completely full, with more than 4 shrimp.

Queen Street West, Entertainment District, Downtown Core

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen located along Queen St. W. near John St. is primarily a take out spot…read moreserving salads, bowls, and smoothies while incorporating elements of Peruvian cuisine and culture. I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!

Great spot if you're looking for something healthy and budget friendly. Great value for the price…read more Portions are huge! Theres a great variety of fresh ingredients inspired by Peruvian cuisine. Service is always great and there's a few spots to dine in.

I was having one of those days where I felt a little under the weather and the last thing I wanted…read morewas heavy, greasy food. I was downtown and stumbled upon this grab-and-go spot, and it was exactly what I needed. I ordered two burrito bowls and a soup, and the total was around $50. Honestly, it was worth every single dollar. What really sold me on this place is how precise they are--they literally measure out every portion of protein, vegetables, and fats. It's awesome for anyone who's tracking their intake or just appreciates getting a perfectly balanced meal. Beyond the great food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helpful. The prices are totally fair for the quality you get. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and looking for a quick, healthy bite.

We stopped by here while in the area and had a great experience…read more The Ambiance: The ambiance is pretty casual and common to other vegan / health food restaurants. There are also only a few tables. The Food: The food is fantastic! I ordered the Bibimbowl gluten and dairy free. It tasted delicious. I believe the dressing was changed to another dressing but the flavour combination was exquisite. I actually preferred this restaurant over another go-to vegan restaurant we frequent with similar ambiance. The Service: The service was really good. The employee working made out food really quickly and was very friendly. Will we return? Absolutely!
