| - I'm amazed at how harsh people are being with Big Tuna. Have you guys actually been to Hawaii, the origin of poke? The price and portion size of the large poke bowl is comparable to those of Hawaii (on any island for that matter). It may be slightly more expensive here at Big Tuna, but definitely not as outrageous as people are proclaiming it to be. Especially since it's in Canadian dollars.
While the idea of customizing your own bowl of poke is novel, it's also probably the reason why you hate your poke bowl. You don't know what it's SUPPOSED to taste like. Or what toppings are supposed to go on/in it. If you want a somewhat legit Hawaiian poke bowl, do your research. You will be pleasantly surprised that all the shit you're putting on it isn't what true Hawaiian poke actually has. Also, you're never going to get the true Hawaiian taste. You're going to have to go to Hawaii for that.
I went with the tuna with spicy mayo, sweet onions x 2, green onions, and seaweed salad x 2. That's it. Just because you get up to 6 toppings does NOT mean you need to put 6 DIFFERENT toppings on. You CAN double up on the stuff that Hawaiian poke ACTUALLY has. People never blame themselves for creating bad combos. It's always the restaurant's fault.
Regardless, you can do whatever you want, but it's just a suggestion. If you want good-tasting true authentic Hawaiian poke, instead of bitching about how it sucks, do your research on what should actually go with what.
Cheers!
