Poke Guys - Table reservation

Let me start off by saying, I've been to Hawaii... numerous times. I've had Poke in Hawaii... numerous times. Ok, with that out of the way, Is Poke Guys a solid place to get good Poke ? Absolutely.Is it the best Poke I've had... not even close. Kudos to Poke Guys, you have a few signature items and then there is a wide variety of items to do the "Build you own". I decided to do the build your own as each of the signature bowls had something that I thought was either, not my fave, or it sounded like a weird combo. Since it was my first time there, and I told the guy he walked me through the ordering process. Great job on that and kudos for taking the time. The one thing about building your own Poke bowl... there is no waiting for someone to serve you... you build it, you eat it. I had decided to go for a large and I added one of the premium toppings... so with a drink I was up over $20. Not exactly cheap for Poke, but hey, this is Canada, and Poke is a Hawaiian thing. Once I got my bowl I sat down to chow down. It was pretty good. Salmon was nice and fresh, the wasabi cream had a bit of kick but not so hot as to burn the hair out of your nostrils. All the other adds were definitely nice and fresh. My only complain, the rice. Ya, I know Rice ! it either hadn't been cooked long enough, or it had been refrigerated too long... it was a bit hard. Overall, I like the place and the choice of toppings. Poke is all about the fish and Poke Guys delivered on that. The rice wasn't quite right, but service was good and staff were helpful. I think the only other thing about this place is they had some very strange rap music playing, but that could just be the staff at the time and their playlist. Yup, it's a solid place, and I'll go back when I need another Poke fix ! But I'd rather make a trip to Hawaii and get the real stuff !

I am somewhat a foodie and follow all kinds of foodies on Instagram. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of posts on something called a poke bowl and decided I needed to try it. I quickly looked up a few places and decided to head to Poke Guys. I'm so glad I made the right choice.A poke bowl is like deconstructed sushi in a bowl. I decided to go with the Cali Bowl it is a rice based bottom topped with fresh Tuna, Salmon and a crab salad among other fresh ingredients. It was perfect. The portion size was very generous and the fish was super fresh. You can top it with different sauces and I opted for the spicy alioli and a wasabi mayo, yum!Writing this review, I'm craving it again and may need to go back soon. Although, I'd want to try another bowl, maybe the spicy shrimp, I absolutely loved the Cali bowl and don't know if I'll be able to steer away from it.Definitely check it out! If you like sushi and sashimi, you will not be disappointed!!!Enjoy!!!

Poke guys has set bowls and a make-your-own option which is great. Portions are great for the price. The large could be enough to feed two people! Overall really great selection and flavours. Would definitely return. Downside is the place is pretty small and has very few tables / seating. We went in Dec so grabbing our food to go and eating outside wasn't an option.

This was an Angry Shrimp Bowl I had for lunch, which had white rice on the bottom and was topped with kimchi shrimp, corn, calamari salad, masago, fried onions, B&W sesame seeds, etc. There was a lot happening in my bowl, made it very exciting to eat! I found the flavours to be a bit strong at times for my own personal taste, but enjoyed it overall.

After recently returning from the west coast I was excited to see poke in the city. The bowls are generous in size but really lack in flavour and quality
