| - Poke guys opened a location in markham!!!
So I've never eaten poke before until now, but a lot of people have been recommending me to try. So I went with my special friend to check it out. Took like 10 minutes to get there, parking was kinda awkward though. We had to park at the carousel next door. We got there and it was PACKED. There was no sitting space for us, because of the size of the place.
On to the food! I got a small California bowl and my friend got a large. It comes with white rice, salmon & tuna classic shoyu, crab meat slaw, masago, avocado, fried onions, nori, B&W sesame seeds. The salmon was fresh and fatty (good healthy kind) and the tuna was marinated to perfection. The crab meat Cole slaw was absolutely to die for, I got an extra helping of it. The rest were all very fresh and tasty, but nothing special. We got coconut water with it. The price was reasonable and we are definitely going back.
There were other meat options and vegetation. Wasabi octopus and spicy shrimp were both pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The spicy version of the salmon and tuna both are like 4/10 on the Asian level of spiciness (not the pathetic Tabasco sauce level)
If you decide to come I definitely would recommend starting with a Cali bowl and then building your own the next time!
P.s. no idea if they have wifi (pokemon life with the poke for a poke date would've been nice)
The owner is pretty cool too I guess, service was very friendly, but the person who took my order gave me the wrong size after messing up my friend's order, but that's okay, new people and all that. They have been opened in this location for roughly a week.
Fresh fish, nice toppings, friendly staff, what more could I ask for? (Wifi cough cough)
