North Poké - Toronto, Ontario

A very solid 3.5 star rating. I think the one thing that can get lost about North Poke amongst the wide variety of poke offerings in the city is that they do it the closest to Hawaii style. This means you don't get to choose which sauces you want to smother your ... fish in or what toppings will go into the bowl itself. Rather they have already thoughtfully marinated the protein in some tasty sauces and ingredients already while they respectfully put some toppings that will go along with your poke. They have about 4 fish poke choices, an octopus choice, and a veggie option as well. You can get them in either snack, regular, or large sizes or by itself on a per 100 gram price. I think the best value bowl here is the large where you can two or three choices of the poke offering. I don't think you can do that with the regular bowl. I ended up getting two snack sizes as I wanted to try the molokai (spicy tuna) and octopus poke. Both were delicious and satisfying in their own separate little containers. I wish I just got the large instead though. All the bowls come with seaweed salad, crunchy taro chips, and a slice of avocado. The restaurant is really small with three little stools by the window for seating so takeout/Ritual pickup should be the way to go to enjoy this poke. Read more

This was a new experience, since I've never tried Hawaiian before but the poke here was amazing! It was a combination of new flavors but they all worked really well together. I tried the spicy salmon one and I strongly recommend it. They also provide samples if ur unsure what ... to eat. Their spam musubi was also really good as well! Not many seats tho so it may be packed during rush times so go early Read more

Had the regular sized #3 shack special (salmon) with sushi rice and paid around $12. First time having Poke and thought that portions were small however it was pretty filling and was not hungry until 5-6 hours later! Don’t be discouraged by the bowl size! Would come back again! Service was also wonderful, ... staff are very patient and friendly. Read more

What to try? Their poke bowls of course!! We tried their Molokai poke bowl and we loved it! I liked how I was given the choice of salmon or tuna or a mix of both! Of course I picked a mix of both. You get the best of both worlds, why ... not?! The Molokai bowl has salmon/ahi tuna, sweet soy marinade, sambal crema, jalepeno, pickled shallots, nori, watermelon radish, and green onions. Yummmmmy! The service was pretty quick because we went a good time just after 1 pm. It's also because they had the different mixture for the poke bowl ready to go already. They essentially need to add the ingredients together to make your poke bowl. The bowls come in three different sizes so you can choose a size that fits for you or your party. Last tip? If you check in on yelp, you get an extra 2 oz of seaweed salad added to your poke bowls. Feels great when the bowl is already delicious that you get an extra dose of seaweed salad!! Read more

Delicious but a bit creamy for me. I could only finish 1 snack size at a time though I ordered the 3 snack size for $15. It's good to bring along a friend to share! If I recall correctly, I believe I ordered the Waimea, Hawaii Classic and Big Wave. ... Enjoy! :) Read more
