| - Having tried ALL the poke and sushi burrito places in Toronto, I'd say this place is pretty good. Their main offerings are the poke bowl, sushi burrito, and the new sushi burger. I've tried all of these over the course of 5-6 visits here.
The poke bowl is very small, compared to other poke places in Toronto. For $12+ tax, I'd expect something decently filling. Sadly, I was only 50% full after the poke bowl. Not an issue I ever run into as a 5'2 female, as it doesn't take many calories to fill me up! My other complaint is that they put everything in a tiny bowl, all piled up, which presents beautifully. But when you try to mix it or eat anything that's not on the immediate top of the pile, disaster happens.So you have to eat much of the fish/ingredients on top before you can get to the rice underneath. On the plus side, the ingredients are fresh, the sauce is delicious, and the presentation is beautiful.
The Poke Guys, my go-to poke joint in Toronto, have a large poke bowl for $13 + tax that's twice the size (ie twice the amount of fish, other ingredients, and rice) and equally yummy. I can never finish it in one sitting.
The sushi burrito, also $12 + tax, is sufficiently portioned that I considered it pretty filling. Again, very yummy. No complaints here. 5/5 for the sushi burrito.
The sushi burger looks interesting, but does not taste anything spectacular. The burger buns are basically fried rice, and taste somewhat bland, with sushi, avocado, etc as the "burger". Tried it once, ok to try again once in a while just to mix things up.
Finally, I asked for water once, just wanted a sip or two, not a whole can of beverage. The answer: Nope. Gotta buy it.
Otherwise service is consistently great, speedy enough. The place is clean, bright, and airy. Not many seats, maybe 8 in total in the entire place (not counting the other side they share with a bubble tea place), but I always go during off-peak hours, so not an issue for me.
