| - North Poke is a Hawaiian-style poke restaurant located in Kensington Market. Hawaiian poke is a little different compared to California-style bowls, as they're marinated for a few hours prior to being served. Until June 30th, they also have a pop-up shop with Pusateri's at the Sak's foodhall inside the Eaton Center, and this was where I visited them.
Unlike other poke places in the city, you can't customize your box at North Poke. However, they do have about 7 different poke bowls available - all with different flavour profiles. I opted for the Waimea, which came with salmon, togarashi mayo, tobiko, sesame, green onions, red onions, fried shallots, and edamame. The salmon was fresh, well-marinated and I really liked the spiciness of the sauce. It had a nice kick and not bland. For decorative purposes, it came with some crispy taro chips, which I also enjoyed. I thought that the regular size ($10.95) wouldn't be filling enough, but I was wrong. They were pretty generous with their portions (including the amount of salmon).
