If you’re on the hunt for the best poke bowl spots in Toronto, you’re in luck.
Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish of raw marinated fish, and poke bowls are a modern, more Japanese-inspired take on them.
Poke bowls are typically made with raw fish, various Asian toppings, and rice, but you’ll often find other proteins like shrimp, tofu, and even chicken.
In Toronto, they’re kinda made like deconstructed sushi in a bowl.
It’s a simple, budget-friendly, and moderately-healthy dish (as long as you don’t pack on that mayo) that’s simple and easy to eat anywhere you go.
It’s the perfect picnic dish too – easy to grab as takeout and easy to eat pretty much anywhere!
There are plenty of awesome spots for poke bowls in Toronto, whether you’re looking for the classic Hawaiian dish or the more Japanese-inspired dish.
Here are some of the best places to grab a poke bowl in Toronto!

Best poke bowl spots in Toronto
Rolltation
Rolltation is one of our go-to spots for poke bowls in Toronto because they’re amazing and so conveniently located around the city.
I pretty much always grab the Classic Salmon poke bowl, but I do go for one of their other menu options every now and then if I’m feeling funky.
Every so often, they even have special limited-edition bowls you can order!
You can choose between their signature poke bowls or build-your-own, and they also serve up sushi burritos, hot rice bowls, and salads.
Rolltation has 7 locations in Toronto, with most of them situated in the downtown core.
My favourite location is probably the Yonge & Dundas restaurant because it’s so chic and spacious!
I usually order ahead for pickup on Ritual, one of my fave Toronto food apps – you can get $10 off your first order using my code!
LOCATION: Various locations
The Poke Box
The Poke Box is another spot I frequent in Toronto for poke bowls, and I love how generous they are with their portions.
They prepare their ingredients on a daily basis and craft their marinades in small batches to keep everything fresh!
They’ve got more base options than most poke bowl spots in Toronto, and you can choose between sushi rice, mixed greens, a grain blend, or zucchini noodles.
I pretty much always grab the Lava Blaze bowl, which is perfect for my spice-loving homies.
They have 4 locations in Toronto: one in the Financial District, two in the PATH, and one at Queen’s Park.
You can also find them in Markham, Whitby, and Waterloo!
LOCATION: Various locations
Poke Guys
Poke Guys is another incredible spot for poke bowls in Toronto, and you’ll find their downtown location near the Eaton Centre.
You can choose between their signature bowls or build your own, and they have a nice selection of marinated raw tuna and salmon to choose from.
For the base, you can choose between white rice, brown rice, kale greens, or soba noodles.
I pretty much always grab the Mauna Loa Poke Bowl, which is perfect for anyone who loves spice!
I love that they’re super generous with the sashimi, alongside all the other toppings in their bowls.
Poke Guys also makes my absolute fave sauces out of all these poke spots in Toronto, with delicious options like their Creamy Togarashi and Miso Sesame.
Every so often, they also come out with fun creations, like their delicious salmon and tuna poke bombs!
They also have locations in the GTA in both Markham and Vaughan.
LOCATION: 112 Elizabeth St Unit 1, Toronto, ON
Pokito
Pokito serves up a mix of traditional and modern poke, and they even have actual Hawaiian-inspired dishes like Kahlua Pork.
The Creamy Spicy Salmon Bowl is delish if you’re looking for a poke bowl, but their Mix & Match Plate is also a must-order, and you can take your pick of two different proteins!
This adorable poke spot on Queen West has the cutest decor, with plenty of greenery and all the woody vibes.
They’re also passionate about sustainability, and they source Ocean-Wise seafood and eco-friendly disposable cutlery!
LOCATION: 420 Queen St W, Toronto, ON
‘ONO Poké Bar
If you love your torched sushi, you’ll definitely love the torched poke bowls at ‘ONO Poké Bar.
Both the ‘ONO Torched Salmon and Torched Ahi Tuna bowls are amazing, and they’ve even got poke bowls with BBQ eel or steak if you’re feelin’ fancy.
They’ve got a dozen signature poke bowls to choose from, or you can also build your own bowl if you’d prefer!
‘ONO has 5 locations in Toronto, including one in Liberty Village, as well as 3 locations in the GTA, including in Markham and Mississauga.

Hoki Poke
You can enjoy poke bowls or poke burritos at this teeny spot on Yonge Street.
Choose from one of their signatures or build your own poke bowl!
The only base option they have for their bowls is black rice, but you can do a half and half option with chopped lettuce.
Their poke bowls are more Hawaiian-inspired, and they’ve even got the Scampi Bowl with Hawaiian garlic shrimp (a must-try dish in Hawaii)!
I’m obsessed with their Maui Bowl, which comes with a combination of salmon and shrimp.
Their downtown location is by Yonge & Wellesley, and they’ve also got a restaurant in Markham!
LOCATION: 563 Yonge St Unit 101, Toronto, ON
Mi’hito Sushi Laboratory
Enjoy a variety of poke bowls, sushi burritos, sushi tacos, and actual sushi at Mi’hito Sushi Laboratory.

Calii Love
Calii Love is all about healthy living, and you’ll find everything from good-for-you lattes, to smoothie bowls, to poke bowls.
They only have a few signature poke bowls to choose from, but you can also build your own bowl!
Their poke bowls are not very traditional, so you’ll find more unique ingredient options like sweet potato kelp noodles for the base, chickpeas and vegan feta for toppings, and chimichurri and dill tahini for sauces.
They do have Asian bases, toppings, and sauces if you are looking for something a bit more traditional, though!
You can visit them at their Yorkville or Financial District (inside First Canadian Place) locations.
