There seems to be more Poke joints in Toronto then Hawaii opening up these days.....and while they may start to feel redundant...I really enjoy healthy options for lunch and dinner.
If you think of The Poke Box as a health takeout joint with raw fish as a protein option, they are pretty good.

What did I like best? If you like zucchini noodles (i love zucchini noodles), they go great with the roasted sesame dressing. Otherwise, their sushi rice is cooked properly. I never understood why anyone would want to eat raw kale....but there's a bunch of people that enjoy it, and that is an option. There's also a smoked tofu vegetarian option that I didn't get to try, but that looks super tasty!
Their tuna and salmon pieces are cut up pretty small, but very uniform and spoon fork friendly (so you get a bit of everything for texture and flavour)...and they are heavy handed with their Tobiko....I love tobiko. :-)
My favourite part? Crushed wasabi peas and fried scallions as the crunchy bits in my meal. :-) I was pleasantly surprised with this. I am going to make sure I add that into my salads from now on....it's okay if I steal some of the yummy ideas right?
With a regular box at 11.50 an a large box at 13.50 ....their prices are actually pretty decent. I get a full meal without feeling lethargic afterwards. Here's to a great poke joint....and I'll be back.
