| - I'm SORRY I DIDN'T LOVE IT!
AH, I was always complaining of not having a decent poke place nearby in Markham, and so when I saw that Poke Guys was opening, I was just dying to try it. But based solely on the food, I can only give it 3 stars :(
(Food:)
I got the PG's BOWL; which was chock-ful of ingredients including: White rice, salmon in classic shoyu, masago, edamame, kimchi, corn, B&W sesame seeds. The salmon was delicious and fresh (props to that), and the server allowed me to try any of their sauces to see which was best to put on. I went with the ME SO SESAME, which, I have to admit, was phenomenal. But yet, with all these compliments, I didn't feel like the dish worked well together. The white rice was kinda dry and chewy (like there wasn't enough water when cooking it), and it's weird for me to have kimchi on poke. That spicy flavor really doesn't go well with all the other ingredients. The corn was a nice touch (especially since I also thought it didn't go very well initially, but I was wrong.) I definitely feel like it wasn't one of the best poke bowls, based solely on the rice and the mixture of ingredients.
(Price:)
PG's BOWL: $12.50
(Service:)
You guys were so nice at POKE GUYS, which is why I feel so bad about giving not the best review. They're also doing a promotion where I can get 10% off the next time I go, so maybe based on that, I might try this place again.
(Overall:)
I guess I could build my own bowl, but I am a little disappointed in the classics. Tsuki Izakaya or Komeya Café both do a better one; sorry! And can we please work towards plastic-free cutlery and dishware. You guys will waste so much plastic per bowl :(
