Really enjoyed the food - tasted fresh with lots of toppings! The vibe is really chill & relaxing too.

Tried them for the first time as a dine in for dinner. I had their Loco Moco meal and a Spam Musubi to take home for later.

The meal was good. It was not the best Loco Moco I've eaten, but still tasty and a great way to satisfy a craving I've had for a while now that I don't live near anywhere serving Hawaiian cuisine. I liked the macaroni salad and picked veggies that accompanied as the sides. Overall, good option if you're looking for Hawaiian food and if in the area again, I would return.

Incredibly kind staff, urged my friend and I to ask questions about anything on the menu and gave easy to understand answers when we did since there is unique options here. I also really liked the customization factor at this place, they didn’t have too many options to where I felt overwhelmed choosing. The pricing is also incredibly fair for what you get, definitely will come again!

First time eating here.
Got the truffle ponzu salmon bowl and it was SO good. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned.
Staff were very friendly, too.

Got a classic bowl, delicious! Great balance of flavour, roe is a nice touch. Great portion.

POKITO KNOWS WHAT'S UPPPPPPPPP! Highly recommend trying this place!

I love poke bowls, and honestly moving forward this restaurant will now be my forever go-to for all things poke in the GTA. This was my first time trying a Hawaiian style poke bowl and LET ME TELL YOU, POKITO DID NOT MISS!

The ingredients were fresh and the flavours were incredibly delicious and everything worked so well together. Also the fact that it still held up even though I ordered everything through delivery, must mean that the food is even more incredible when dining in the restaurant.

I ordered the "Two Choice Combo" through UberEats, which allows you to pick 2 protein choices. I chose the Hawaiian Style Ahi and the Shoyu Salmon for my poke protein; both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. Picked sushi rice and garlic brown rice as my base; highly recommend this combo. Then for my 2 sides I chose the Hawaiian slaw and crab salad (both were so good) and then added BBQ Kalua Pork and additional crab salad (for extra protein), crispy onion and macaroni salad.

This bowl was a heavenly experience. From the moment I opened the container and smelled the delicious aromas, to that first bite and every bite afterwards, I could cry all the happy tears.

In addition to the poke bowl, I also got a Spam musubi, and THE SAUCE ON THAT THOOO! I grew up eating spam and rice for breakfast, so I already had an idea of what I THOUGHT this would taste like. Taking that first bite though, the sweet and tangy sauce on the spam complimented it so much by helping to balance the saltiness, while also elevating the flavor profile to something different.

Considering I ordered through UberEats, and added a bunch of additional items to my poke bowl, the cost for this order was on the more pricier side, BUT looking at their menu prices for their more standard bowls, I feel they're incredibly reasonably priced in comparison to most poke places. ESPECIALLY for the amount of food you get, and the quality of their ingredients, I do believe the price is 100% worth it!

All-in-all, you have just made a life long customer out of me Pokito, and I thank you for such a positive and incredible culinary experience. Wishing your establishment continued success, and I will definitely have to dine-in soon!

I went to Pokito’s Grand Re-Opening on Queen West for my lunch today, I was very happy I did. I picked the Spicy Salmon Bowl with Crab Salad and Seaweed. It was super fresh, very quick and friendly service. I was energized for rest of my work day. A great value for the quality of ingredients, the salmon was so fresh, melt in your mouth. I will definitely be putting this into my weekly repertoire, a meal I look forward to!

Delicious food. Had the shoyu sesame salmon signature bowl, and really enjoyed it. They also prepared it really fast.
08 July 2023 12:35
Pretty good Hawaiian food place with a lot of great poke bowl selections. Very friendly with both cozy dine in places and take out options (available on the Ritual app.) Staff are nice and will make your day better! However, this place is best suited for lunch, but prices are a bit on the higher end for your average lunch.
16 January 2023 21:33
Best vegan poke ever! My husband loves the supreme vegan plate -it has everything and is very filling and my favourite is the Vegan Tuna bowl with sushi rice, seaweed salad and I get all the toppings. So good!
31 December 2022 16:10
I had the spam musibi and chefs special platter. Food is good but small portion wise and pricy. If I have to go somewhere else to eat after spending close 40 bucks that's an issue.
13 December 2022 10:19
Best damn poke bowl I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned fish, just the right amount of rice, and fresh sides. My first time ordering from here but definitely not my last. Worth the price.
26 November 2022 23:14
Delicious bowls, great customer service. Only downside is the visible shrinkflation. The prices have gone up and the bowl sizes have gone down. Much less bang for your buck than before.

Still 5 stars for the taste, consistency, and friendly service!

Must have: spicy salmon bowl with add-on crispy onions and togarashi
24 November 2022 8:38
Its so hard to find a poke place around me but they really do a banger job with there's I have no idea what they put in there spicy mayo but it is AMAZING! Would give 5 extra stars if I could.
14 November 2022 19:27
We just came back from Hawaii and was craving Hawaiian food. The food here is very similar to the dishes you get in Hawaii, especially the poke. I would skip the spam musubi though.
14 November 2022 16:21
The Poke bowls were on point. I love the fact that we could order the fish by weight (at market price), since that's how I remember ordering Poke in Hawaii. Best Poke I've had outside the island.

The LA Kalbi plate was a bit of a miss for me, because the quality of the meat in my plate was substandard at that time. The Kahlua pork was ok, somewhat reminded me of the island, though it's difficult to nail it down perfectly. The Loco Moco was a great dish to try, the hamburger patty and gravy made a perfect comfort food combo.

I wish the slaw was crisper and tasted fresher. Another let down was the pineapple, which tasted like it came from a can (or I might have gotten a poor batch). I love the Musubi, though, very flavorful and filling.
14 November 2022 9:34
Had their food for the time and had it catered for a party. Everyone raved about it, esp those who has never had poke or sushi before. Servings were generous and tasty. Still crave the Hawaiian tuna and chicken bbq. Customer service was great, Bryan was helpful in providing suggestions.
Family and friends now have this as one of our favorite places to grab food in Toronto!
09 November 2022 17:40
Picked up the Ultimate Pokito Plate as part of the AsialiciousTO event.it comes with a bit of everything in terms of protein including spicy salmon poke, tuna poke, shrimp ceviche, chimichurri steak, crab salad and different sides like seaweed, edamame, and pickled ginger.

The food was freshly prepared, well seasoned and pretty well balanced.the fish was fresh with big cuts of fish, and the seasoning on all their proteins are good. The online ordering system is straightforward and easy to use, friendly staff and clean location.
13 October 2022 10:41
Went here after a workout, super friendly and helpful staff and 10/10 for food. Clean, tasty and nutritious.
04 October 2022 16:47
The best poke in Toronto! Their 420 bowl - which has rice, salmon, tuna, wakame, avocado, and edamame - is amazing.

One minor complaint is that they have inconsistent opening hours, so sometimes when we've stopped by they have been closed leaving us disappointed.
28 September 2022 11:23
It was actually really not good and unbelievably dry. The toppings were so little and just Didn’t go together. We tried only once but won’t be back. Would probably stick with my favorite poke place near home.
21 September 2022 10:41
The definitive spot for great poke and other Hawaiian classics in the city!
Don't skip the mac salad. Seriously.
20 January 2022 6:38
Oh my, Crispy cauliflower with honey garlic sauce? It is a must try for this cold weather. So addictive and delicious.
29 December 2021 12:03
Fresh, delicious and tasteful. I absolutely love this place! The staff is also very friendly. Their menu options are delicious.
25 December 2021 16:06
The food and service was so good! The staff was friendly and walked us through all our options. Fast service for a large group too!
20 December 2021 20:58
I came here with a friend on a Sunday afternoon. It was both of our first time trying Pokito in Toronto. They serve both traditional and modern dishes of poke.

My friend ordered the Creamy Spicy Salmon Bowl and I ordered the Chili Pepper Tuna Bowl. Both of these were signature bowls which is served with your choice of sushi rice, brown rice or mixed greens. In addition, you can select your own free toppings (for in-store purchase only) and free sauces. I appreciated that the additional toppings were explained to me so I knew what I was planning to get.

I would give both of these poke bowls a fire. It is made with fresh and quality ingredients. The portions are decently sized for the price and I would recommend trying out their fresh wakame seaweed instead of the classic version. This nutritious seaweed is most commonly found in miso soup in Japanese restaurants and it taste amazing.

Overall, their staff are very friendly and the service is amazing. Indoor dining is currently not available but outdoor patio tables are available to use. If you are looking for a good quality and healthy poke bowl, I would definitely recommend giving Pokito a try.

Pokito is truly one of the best authentic poke in the heart of Toronto. I will be looking forward to come back to try out their other dishes on their menu.
20 December 2021 11:23
Stopped in for lunch, and got the 420 with some additional toppings and chipotle mayo. It was delicious, fresh, and filling! Not too expensive either! Satisfied my poke bowl craving, and will be coming here again!
19 December 2021 1:53
One of my favorite spots to eat. I work down the road and when I'm feeling for some food Pokito never disappoints. There bowls are generous and filling. Fresh and tasty. Staff is nice and very helpful. Most recently they started a ghost kitchen and have some Trini food! Very good addition as the owner is half Trini and bringing some flavor to Queen Street. I got the pepper pot with rice and red beans and man was it good. The spices and the oxtail was cooked well! Always recommend. Go check them out.
13 December 2021 12:41
To us, it was ok, we thought the rice was a little soggy and combined with the toppings, made the dishes heavy (creamy, peppery, spicy) but without much actual flavour. It's sort of like you can taste each individual ingredient but they didn't go together well enough to make a cohesive palate. Otherwise, the portions and prices were normal for the city (AKA a bit small and a bit high, respectively). Menu seemed interesting though which is why we came.
24 November 2021 7:47
The 420 bowl is delicious and very fresh! They give a fair amount of protein, but overall portion is on the smaller end. I would order an additional side item next time. The staff who took my order was very nice and energetic!
06 November 2021 15:50
Awesome poke bowls, I had the creamy salmon poke bowl and it was absolutely scrumptious! There was also outdoor seating so I could sit down and relax with my family
24 September 2021 2:39
One of the best places to get a poké bowl in Toronto. If you haven't tried this place. It is a MUST! Decently priced. Very good portion and very friendly staff. Too bad they don't have another storefront uptown. But this place is my go-to whenever I am in the area.
16 September 2021 12:17
I love pokito. Everything is so fresh tasting, the portion is great, but something very important. The staff is so friendly, welcoming and warm. They make you feel like a friend when you walk in. This is my first choice when it comes to grabbing takeout in the area. I can't tell you enough how much I love this place!

Their daily specials are wicked too.y favourite day is Monday, spicy Salmon day!
05 August 2021 18:36
My first time trying poke! I love salmon sashimi so much, but something about poke has always seemed so intimidating. I went in today with a friend and Brian was so patient and helpful. He made the short purchase experience fun and welcoming, you really could forget the state of the world! You don’t meet genuinely kind people often these days. Not to mention they offer vegan options and the portions are very well sized. The Hawaiian slaw and crispy onions are a must with your order. All that on top of some of the most fresh and flavourful food I’ve had in a long time, and the experience was perfect! If only I had a coconut water to top it off.oh, but I did Definitely worth your time and money. I’ll be coming back to try the ceviche for sure! No better way to celebrate API businesses!
01 July 2021 12:11
Stopped in here yesterday and grabbed a 420 bowl. One of my new favorite dishes for sure. It was so good and the customizations available are great options. Friendly staff and super quick.
06 June 2021 16:19
We tried Pokito again, and as usual, fresh and delicious! The tofu is surprisingly filling and very flavorful. The 420 is definitely a winner!
04 June 2021 4:22
The 420 bowl with garlic brown rice is the BEST bowl we have ever had. We used the ZipLunch app which introduced us to Pokito and with their great reviews.we thought we would give it a try. This is our new favorite! Thank you for such great value and quality food.
25 May 2021 22:01
Excellent food, very friendly, helpful people. Was looking for something fresh, healthful, delicious and different and got exactly that. Highly recommended.
11 May 2021 22:19
My favourite Poke stop in Toronto by far. The service is always incredibly friendly and helpful, they've made some great suggestions but more importantly the food is always amazing. I've had a couple variations of both their Tuna and Salmon bowls and every time I've been more than happy with the plate.highly recommend!
25 March 2021 20:56
The poke is always fresh and tastes delicious. Their staff is also very friendly. Take advantage of their daily specials.
05 February 2021 23:47
Their bowls bring me to a happy place. Their bowls have been a great way to get lots of nutrients in me while I’ve been dealing with health issues and its subsequent loss of appetite. Fast prep so takeout is easy. Though they misgendered me once, which was off-putting.
12 January 2021 11:49
This is the second time I've had their food. It is absolutely amazingly fresh, healthy and they are the nicest people. They had just closed but still took my 2 bowl order. Now that's class. I highly recommend Pokito as THE BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD IN TORONTO. Will be back for sure.
26 November 2019 0:05
Great place! I’ve becoming here for months and the quality is great each time. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming as well
13 November 2019 18:15
2nd time was the charm! Let's be honest so was the first haha! Really enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients and the genuine personalities of the staff
13 November 2019 4:40
This was my first time ever trying a Poke bowl, and it was the bomb! Got the 420 with macaroni salad & edamame beans and brown rice. Loved how they offer do-it-yourself topping bar (got the crispy onions + sesame seeds) Spent about $16 on it, worth it!
09 November 2019 21:40
The service was awesome even up until closing time. Food was great and ambience was nice for a quiet night out with my wife. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to try new cuisine.
20 October 2019 3:41
I ordered the Cajun Shrimp Poke and the ingredients were fresh and it tasted great! Only regret was I should've ordered a bigger size. Staff were friendly and answered my questions.
18 October 2019 8:55
This is one of my favourite spots in Toronto. It is sooooo good! Came here in March because it was an option on my bunz app. I make sure to come here each time I'm in Toronto. The staff is great and the food is phenomenal. Best poke bowls in town!
02 October 2019 8:14
Everything was very fresh and the prices are reasonable! Staff is super friendly and they have a wicked playlist! Crispy onions on top give the bowls that extra crunch
24 September 2019 23:37
Salmon was not good quality and the salad was drenched in dressing it was leaking everywhere and got really soggy by the time I got home to eat it.
22 September 2019 1:27
Ordered the spicy salmon via ritual. Paid for extra protein. I really shouldnt have - ordered it before without paying for extra salmon. It's quite pricey for what you get. Watched a guy make another bowl after mine and it was the same amount. Yes, maybe the person after me also paid for 'extra'.
Quality over quantity does not apply here. Seeing as they are located at Spadina and Queen, they have that going for them. Definitely sticking to my regular poke spot. I'll drink extra water after this to fill me up.
11 September 2019 16:48
The salmon was so bad. The overall flavour of the entire dish was okay I guess i enjoyed it (there are way better pokes out there. I am surprise this place has a 4.4). But the salmon smelled and tasted so bad. I really hope my stomach can handle this. Maybe it was a one time mistake so dont take my review as seriously if you decide to check this place out. But if you notice more people complaining about the same thing, well then you decide.
10 September 2019 9:05
Amazing! Great place, clean, welcoming, awesome staff and delicious food. Definitely worth the visit for an awesome poké experience
07 September 2019 4:16
A unique poké bowl place! Lovely owner and staff. Took the time to explain all the options to me. Informed me that it is a nut free facility (thank you for that!) - poké bowl was absolutely delicious. Great overall experience!
04 September 2019 17:09
Great service, great food! They have a good variety for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans from what I could tell! Would definitely go back!
01 September 2019 10:33
Pokito is an excellent place to grab a quick poke bowl for lunch. The food is affordable and is quite good! You can build your own poke bowl or pick from a pre built selection here. The staff is also quite friendly, so I would definitely recommend it!
18 August 2019 5:54
Went for dinner on a weekday-not too busy. Food was delicious, very refreshing during the hot summer, and served quickly too. I like the variety of toppings available.
10 August 2019 11:13
Sweet owner, friendly staff, one of my go- to places to spend lunch with friends or solo. Fresh ingredients and good portions! I always loved picking my own sides for the bowls. The special comes in a round plastic container whereas picking your own comes in a rectangular compostable container. I've brought my own glassware for take out and they've always been really accomadating ️
16 June 2019 3:17
Had a good selection. They got our order wrong. Gave the vegetarian a burrito with tuna and then tried to get us to keep it with the tuna picked out. Figured out that the burrito also had crabmeat so we requested that they make the correct burrito. They did and it was good.
09 June 2019 2:20
Nice selection of toppings and assortment of preselected poke bowls. The pokiballs were affordable and filling.
28 May 2019 2:58
Super fresh and delicious. High quality fish and unique sides. Every time I go here I am surprised it isn't busier.
21 May 2019 0:27
Tasty food, and friendly staff. The portions are reasonably sized for what you pay for. Though not very many vegetarian options available.
14 May 2019 18:20
One of my go-to lunch spots! If you feel like sashimi then the pokito bowls are the perfect balance of fish, rice and vegetables, while the new hot food bowl comes with a burger patty, an egg and gravy over rice. Everything is fresh and very flavourful either way, and the staff are always helpful and friendly! You can also pay with BTZ.
11 May 2019 12:32
One of the best poke bowls I have ever had. Super fresh and high quality ingredients and the staff is super friendly and energetic! I can rarely finish the whole bowl at once, the portions are generous and the rice to fish/topping ratio is great (unlike some other poke places where they give you way more rice than fish).
02 May 2019 1:32
Very delicious and fresh poke joint. There's several options from some preconfigured poke bowls to the "build your own" poke bar to the poke rolls and more. Though the number of options might not be as varied as some other places, they make up for it by the quality of the ingredients. There are regular and snack sizes for most of the items. I recommend their salmon and tuna combo and their garlic brown rice!
21 April 2019 11:56
Got the 420 for lunch, it was really tasty! Very fresh, great textures, and felt great after eating. Fish could have been a bit better though.
08 March 2019 13:09
Amazing, friendly and accommodating service. I came here while I was on the Whole30 diet and the gentleman at the counter was incredibly knowledgeable about EVERY ingredient that goes into their food (including all the sauces, the wakame salad, etc.) and they were so nice about my restrictions. The food is amazing, fresh and satisfying.
09 February 2019 21:22
I ordered from them twice on skip the dishes and both times they cancelled my order for no reason not even a call. Very disappointed this is super unprofessional
02 February 2019 11:31
Good creativity with the menu, but a little bit on the pricier side despite having very similar menu items to other poke restaurants.
19 January 2019 21:42
This place is a bit different as far as the DIY options are. They have a set menu of poke bowls and then if you want to do a build your own, there are only two sides you get to choose.

Still, I like coming here. The guy that is one of the owners I'm certain is friendly and funny. They're on RItual and Feedback apps so you get discounts and if you're an avid Bunz user like me, they take btz.
26 December 2018 14:24
I was excited to try this place, so I got a sushi burrito to go. My experience with it was horrible because it looked great but the nori it was wrapped with was SO chewy and and not fresh, and I also noticed a horrible sour taste in the spicy salmon which was a sign that it had gone bad. I didn’t want to risk food poisoning so I had to throw the whole thing out. $15 down the drain and didn’t satisfy me at all
