| - Congratulations at Poke Guys on successfuly opening in the heart of Downtown Markham. So happy to have you guys nearby. Now I don't have to travel that far for your delicious poke bowls I already tried Poke Guys and had the opportunity to try them two more times at two Yelp Elite events.
On grand opening day in Markham, it took me two visits to finally get my BOGO poke bowls. I thought I would be ok arriving at 1135 am, beating the crowd and running towards the store because how slow can making a poke bowl be? But no, I was wrong. There was a huge line with lots of students waiting. Normally, I don't despair when I see a huge line as long as it was moving but alas it wasn't moving much or moving at the speed of a snail. Staff was not at full capacity as the lunch crowd started to arrive. I see a worker arriving to the store at 1140am. I had to make a decision: Keep waiting and try my luck or leave. While I was pondering whether to leave the line or not, I saw a group of Aviva employees behind me leave and more people leaving afterwards. After waiting close to 30 mins and seeing how many people were still in front, I gave up and left. It would have probably taken close to an hour and I only had 45 mins for lunch. Disappointed, my colleague made me a tuna sandwich for lunch.
Take 2: I made another visit after work and got there at 437. I was near the door and close to the counter to order by 5 pm. The Staff size definitely increased, which lead to shortrr wait time. It was still slow might you but moving at a better pace than at lunch.
What are Poke bowls you ask? It's a Hawaiian dish that includes sashimi, rice, veggies, and many more. I opted for their two signature LARGE poke bowls and it was so well worth it.
Cali Bowl which consists of white rice, salmon & tuna classic shoyu, crab meat slaw, masago, avocado, fried onions, nori, B&W sesame seeds.
.
A Hui Hou Bowl that I opted for brown rice, honey ginger salmon, crab meat slaw, edamame, seaweed salad, masago, fried onions, B&W sesame seeds. .
.
Go with their Classic Signature Poke Bowl(s) or build your own poke bowl. All this and your choice of garnishes and sauce. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the A Hui Hou Signature Bowl more and am so glad to have ordered it as opposed to just getting two Cali Poke Bowls. The A Hui Hou Signature had more flavour and was tastier imho.
Portions size were very generous. They filled the bowl with lots of ingredients and the two bowls in the bag were heavy.
Workers were very helpful in helping me select the garnishes and the sauces. They were mostly nice and friendly. There are about five four person tables and a couple of tall seats table by the window. Poke guys can be found nearby the carousel. There are limited parking by the carrousel / terre Rouge parking lot. Don't part in the Remington customer service parkjng spots or u may be in for a surprise.
I can't to go back to try the other poke bowls, one bowl at a time
