I'm not sure if maybe they hold back a little bit when you order using the Ritual app's discount, but the Signature Poke was very disappointing. Poke is kind of one of my favorite things to eat right now and I've tried a number of options located around downtown Toronto. The bowl I was given yesterday is definitely my least favorite.
First, the portion size of the raw fish is kind of a joke. I think it had 3 pieces total (2 salmon 1 tuna) - far smaller than your typical cut too. It was kind of sad that they charge $13 for that. To be completely honest, I already had low expectations for what the portion size was going to be considering the area and the brand image. But even then I was still kind of surprised.
Second, the bowl is mostly low-cost fluff. What they skimped on the fish they certainly made up for with fruit, edamame, and kale. When ordering I thought the inclusion of this stuff was going to make a fresher option compared to the alternatives in the area, but they kind of completely took over the dish. I didn't want a salad with a few slivers of raw fish and a single scoop of rice, but that's what I got.
I'll admit it looked nice. I get how people would want to take a picture of it and post it on social media. But, in terms of actually consuming the bowl as a meal, I think it fell short. Don't get me wrong - it's not the only place that serves poke where you won't feel that you got your money's worth at the end of it - but this is the only place I've tried where I feel like I was played.
