I don’t usually care to leave reviews but this was honestly one of the worst places i’ve ever bought food from so here goes:
Ordered the Torched Salmon and got food poisoning but not really surprised as there are flies everywhere inside including behind the counter in the kitchen/ food prep area - the table inside was also covered in dead flies that nobody bothered to clean. The bowl itself is mainly hard plain rice with only a few toppings - they are insanely stingy. In addition, they don’t provide any sauces (including soy sauce) even though they have them there - you’ll have to pay extra for it. The 2 girls working there were completely dismissive when we asked for anything (like forks) - it was so rude and annoying.
Honestly this place was disgusting and the food was so bad we ended up throwing had of the bowl away (and that says a lot because i very rarely leave food). For what you get the prices are insane so if you’re in the area do yourself a favour and go to the sushi place round the corner instead, or if you really want poke please go somewhere else.
On a side note. there’s a guy who lives around the area called Marco - if you sit by the water he might come up to you and speak to you and honestly he’s the nicest guy. Truly hope he’s having...
Read moreWent there on September 24, 2022 dinner time. My experience with Poke bowl is limited but comparing to Poke Co in Hamilton this Ono Poke place lacks flavor and fish portion.
I am Taiwanese and have eaten lots of rice in my life. This place fails the very basic of Sushi rice. It is “too wet”!!! Any sushi or poke 101 is to make sure your rice is cooked well.
I ordered Large. Rice portion is good but fish portion is not. They cut salmon way too small. I asked them to add Ponzu sauce and sesame oil in the bowl and felt like they could have put more.
One thing I learned from a good Poke place is the amount of sauce and how they layer the sauce into the bowl instead of all at the top. It’s little things like that that makes a bowl tastes good. I don’t want all the sauce at the top and got overwhelmed with the first bite. I think you are supposed to layer it into the bowl or mix them up first.
Another note, clean up the place a bit. Tidy up. Stuff sitting all in the kitchen area. The two ladies there seem new to me or...
Read moreOno Poke Bar is ridiculously stingy! I ordered Ahi Tuna last night and when she handed the bag to me, it was super light, my bf took the bag and said the same thing. We got home and saw how PUNYYY it is and we just started laughing. When we buy from Freshii - we usually can share the bowl. But this salad from Ono Poke Bar was not even enough for me! Then to add to an insult, they gave dressing a quarter of that small container, so I pretty much ate it dry. It cost $13.56 and l had very few forkful. This store is way super stingy, it's terrible! I don't recommend this place at all.
Nov 30, 2022: Ordered again, got Taro Chips and it's VERY VERY SALTY! They are salt happy there. Check out the photo I just uploaded. All that salt came out from just ONE CHIP! So...
