Although I’ve never visited in person, I always order online and am never disappointed! The ingredients always taste fresh, especially the salmon, and the crunchy onion is absolutely irresistible. They never hold back on the toppings, so I always feel like I’m getting my money’s worth, if not more. I’ve tried other poke spots, but none have come close to topping Poke Eats. It’s been my favorite for a while, and it will continue to be!
Absolutely delicious! Portion sizes are amazing. I love that you can build your own bowl. Great for anyone who has dietary restrictions. A great grab and go spot!
Bomb ass poke. I've tried many poke bowls from Hawaii and California and have pretty high standards. This place meets and exceeds them. High quality fish, great sauces (the maple shoyu is killer) and great attention to detail like the rice being cooled as to not warm the cold fish. I definitely wasn't expecting something like in Toronto!
One of the best food experience in Toronto so fare!
This joint was a super letdown for me after quite a lot of hype from reviews. I got the Kale Machine Bowl but the avocado tasted past expiry, really overly creamy and filled the entire bowl with quite a potent taste, super gross and couldn't eat it to be honest.
My boyfriend and I stumbled across Poke Eats Restaurant - Hawaiian Inspired Food & Take Out while exploring the east end, and we were pleasantly surprised by this gem. I opted for the Its Lit bowl with black rice, salmon, spicy mayo, avocado, spicy cucumber, grape tomatoes, sweet corn, and a variety of garnishes. This bowl was a delightful combination of flavours and textures. The black rice was a cool addition, while the fresh salmon paired perfectly with the spicy mayo, creating a rich and creamy bite with a spicy kick. The avocado added a smooth, buttery element, and the spicy cucumber provided a refreshing crunch. The grape tomatoes and sweet corn added a hint of sweetness, balancing the spice nicely. Overall, the Its Lit bowl was a delicious and satisfying choice that I thoroughly enjoyed. My boyfriend chose the Poke Eats bowl, their classic offering, which includes white rice, tuna, maple sesame shoyu, cucumber, sweet corn, crab salad, and edamame. This bowl did not disappoint and had all the elements you would expect in a classic poke bowl. The white rice was a perfect base, and the tuna was fresh and flavorful. The maple sesame shoyu added a unique and slightly sweet twist that complemented the tuna well. The cucumber and sweet corn added a nice crunch and sweetness, while the crab salad and edamame rounded out the bowl with their distinct flavours and textures. It was a well-balanced and enjoyable bowl that my boyfriend loved. The ambiance of Poke Eats is super cute, with a clean and modern design that feels welcoming and vibrant. The location on Queen East is fantastic, being close to the beach and making it a great spot to grab a meal before or after a stroll by the water. The atmosphere adds to the overall experience, making it a delightful place to dine in or take out. Overall, our visit to Poke Eats Restaurant - Hawaiian Inspired Food & Take Out was a great experience. The food was fresh, flavourful, and well-prepared, and the ambiance was charming and inviting. Both bowls we tried were delicious, with the Its Lit bowl standing out for its spicy and creamy combination, and the Poke Eats bowl delivering a classic poke experience. The location is ideal, especially for those looking to enjoy a meal near the beach. We would definitely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again. Overall, we rate our experience 4 out of 5 stars.
Firstly i was drawn in by their super clean and simple store front. I was recommended to try their most important bowl which is "its Lit" and I was not disappointed. Everything was fresh and tasty. Quality of their ingredients could immediately be known from the first bite to the last. Best thing is that within seconds of completing the payment for my food my order was ready. Thank you Poke Eats fir my tasty lunch and WELCOME to the beaches! I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! 🤤🤤
Staff were very polite and friendly. Very delicious poke bowl. Fish was very fresh and plenty of toppings for you to choose! The black rice is very unique and tasty. Would def come back to try diff sauces and meats.
low grade tuna was very chewy. every piece was full of connective tissue.
One of the best poke bowls I ve ever had, and I ve had MANY.
Garnishes were fine fish was quite smelly threw it out.
Great! Fresh, yummy and fast! Wonderful healthy alternative to fast food! Food : 5/5
Both my wife and I had diarrhea after having their salmon bowl. The salmon was bad. It was a terrible experience. Won t eat there again.
Friendly service, clean atmosphere. Food was delicious 11/10 would come back again! Food
Service was great! The person who made my bowl was kind, quick and answered any questions I had. The food is delicious (looks great too) definitely will be back whenever I m in the area!
Picked up two bowls and both were amazing. Very fresh, flavourful and satisfying. One was « Spicy Bird » the other « Buddha ». Service was quick. Love the enviro take out containers. Excellent and healthy addition to the Beach Food
I got the Lit Bowl and it was better than I expected. Tasted great and the ingredients were fresh even though I went an hour before closing. Would definitely come back again.
Got the Its lit bowl and it was excellent!
Came here to grab a quick lunch. The options were pretty limited, you can either choose a preset poke or build your own. I built my own salmon poke bowl, and while the flavours were fine, the rice was way undercooked.. you have to chew through each and every individual grain of rice which just ruins the whole bowl..
Its Lit bowl is lit
This place is even better than the Sheppard location, which I didn t think was possible. Fresh fish, fresh toppings, perfectly cooked rice. Can t ask for a better poke bowl. It s a little pricy but I think it s absolutely worth it and the portions are huge.
The tuna bowl is excellent. I will definitely be going back again!
Delicious poke bowls! We did build your own bowls and enjoyed the freshness of the fish and the portions were sizable. Our new go-to spot for poke in the east end!
The food speaks for itself! The Its Lit bowl is my favorite poke bowl in the city. Highly recommended
I love Poke and have been suffering from a lack of a good source of it - life in the Beach is nice, but without a good Poke experience, its just not a nice as it could be. Very happy to see this place, I have gone several times in person - staff is friendly, polite, the place is spotless and theyre so fast! In and out in under 10 minutes (its just me, one little old...ish....man), ithough if you come in with a bigger order or theyre filling out online orders it may take a bit longer, but believe me, its totally worth it. Love this place - its a regular spot for me going forward.
Food is very delicious and healthy as well. Staff is very courteous and the store is very clean. Best part is that its just minutes away from the beach!
Great poke spot!
So delicious/fresh!
Came here late Sunday to pick up. I get stomach issues from tomatoes, I asked for no tomatoes when I ordered. Then when I get home I find out it s loaded with tomatoes It s not exactly easy to pick out a ton of diced tomatoes out of a bowl when it s all mixed together with tuna, sauce and other toppings . I also asked for extra tuna which I paid for, there isn t much tuna in this at all. It seems like there s as much or more tomato as tuna in this bowl
Regular customer to their yonge location. Clean and employees are nice. Got my order and everything was goooood.
Food very good. My son and I enjoyed it greatly.
So happy that my favourite restaurant is now in East York!! I love Poke Eats and can confidently say its the best poke in Toronto. I always build my own bowl with Salmon and Citrus Shoyu, and I find that the portions are very big for the price. The staff are friendly, the environment is clean, and the food is delicious. Honestly cant ask for anything more. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone .
I had a fantastic experience at the Poke Eats Beaches location. I ve been to the Yonge and Shepperd location before so I knew I couldn t go wrong. The food was fresh and full of flavour, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant was clean. I would highly recommend Poke Eats!
Fresh and delicious.
The bowls at Poke Eats are so delicious and portions are really big; there was enough left for lunch for next day. The person preparing mine was very clear on which ingredients are gluten-free. Great value. Delicious poke bowls. Excellent service. Thank you. We will be back. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
