| - The poke craze in Toronto. This is a clean, fast food-esque venue with a health bent, with most of it being self served. You order at the counter and pay, wait for your order to be ready and seat yourself on any one of the table/booth. The orders come with an apple and there's free lemon or orange water for you to drink,
Many of the items have the choice of sizes, they also have price for "members" which is cheaper. Although I personally don't know if I'd want to join membership of a restaurant, the concept seems odd, unless you plan to eat there all the time but I really prefer to eat as many varieties of food as possible.
Anyways, back to the Poke. I found the small sized Poke was really small. Not satisfying. I am the type of person who usually gets full. We also chose the potato or taro noodles instead of rice, which I found don't really go with the Poke. I think rice would have soaked up the flavour of the bowls better. In the case with the noodles, the seasoning just don't really stick to them. The spicy salmon poke was so so, the flavour didn't really come through for me. My companion got the octopus Poke in a large size. It tasted a bit better I think.
