| - Glad to have a close by Poke spot in Markham; however, I think that they could be more competitive. It's a small location that sits about 17 people; however, during the weekday it wasn't that busy and it was quite easy to find a spot.
I wasn't a big fan of how they priced their bowls. Unlike most Poke places, they charge you for ALL toppings (.85), and then they charge you even more for premium (1.25). That being said, their base pricing seems to be a bit lower than competitors at 10.25 for Build Your Own and 11.25 for a Signature. But I would honestly prefer that they just charge $12 and make toppings unlimited. The signature bowls can be a better deal if you're planning on getting only 1-2 toppings. For example, I got the Cali bowl, which came with Salmon and Tuna (which costs +$1 on the build your own), crab meat slaw (+$1.25) and avocado ($1) and would have cost $14.5 in contrast to 11.25 since it was a signature.
Garnishes, in contrast, are actually free - so basically, the fried onions. For the dressing I got the Togorashi and Me so sesame (mayo based) with my bowl and enjoyed the sauces.
Also, it was around 1pm on a weekday when I went, and they ran out of salad for the base (?!).
That being said, I really enjoyed my bowl and thought it tasted pretty good. The ratio of fish to bowl was good as well.
