Tried Poke Box on a week night for a quick dinner before going to an event. This is one of the many poke competitors available in Toronto as it's the current trend and is filling and delicious as well.
Food (3/5)
All the boxes are made to order and you can choose either their signature boxes with preset items or an option to build your own box. I chose the DIY route and opted for salmon over the grain blend. The salmon wasn't of supreme quality but I didn't expect it to be. The grain blend was a purple rice but there are other options such as sushi rice, zucchini, etc. I chose the crab salad and seaweed salad but was disappointed by the saltiness of both. To top off, the staff recommended a mix of the sweet garlic soy and citrus ponzu. The sauces were both subtle so it's hard to comment on whether it's necessary or not.
Service (3/5)
There really isn't much to write about as this is a 'fast food' option. The girls working were both very patient and were ready to offer suggestions as it was my first time trying this place. They were quick to acknowledge each customer and service was quick and efficient.
All in all Poke Box was not a standout compared to all the other poke options around town. My favourite at the moment will still be Ono Poke by Exhibition.
