| - 3.5 stars. Right in the heart of Kensington Market. Very friendly, professional service. No place to sit. Very fair prices. One of the better poke places in downtown Toronto.
Also came here with the food passport and paid about $5.65 for the Waimea Poke Bowl and Teriyaki Musubi - for their SNACK size. Depending on the poke, the prices ranges from: snack ($5-6), regular ($9-11), and large ($13-15).
Contrary to the naysayers and lovers, I found this place fairly average. Their snack size was actually quite filling for me. Sashimi/ salmon was great. Taro chips were my favourite - super crunchy! Everything else in it (fried shallots, toasted sesame, seaweed salad) was on point.
However, the spam sushi was a turn-off for me. Their rice wasn't fresh out of the pot, stale in fact!
Overall, their prices are actually on-par or cheaper than most of the poke places I've been to. For the price I paid, it was a very fair portion! Not overly spectacular for your senses, but will probably be back for their taro chips (also sold separately), and to try their other specials!
N.B. Gluten-free options available!
