TORONTO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Freshii is diving into one of the world's most popular food trends with the launch of its first-ever lineup of premium poke bowls, now available at locations across Canada. These include four premium poke bowls featuring sushi-grade salmon, prawns, ahi tuna, or tofu, along with sliced avocados and other fresh ingredients. Freshii is the largest national chain to offer a lineup of poke bowls to Canadian consumers.
"We've absolutely fallen in love with our new poke bowls," says Chris Cann, Brand Leader at Freshii. "We've been working on this product launch for well over a year and the results are exactly what Freshii customers love — quality meals with unique flavours that satisfy your hunger and need for convenience and value."
Originating in Hawaii, poke bowls are a cornerstone of island cuisine, celebrated for their fresh ingredients and customizable nature, a philosophy that mirrors Freshii's core values. Freshii's new poke bowls embody this spirit, offering a fresh, balanced, and delicious meal option that delivers on flavour and nutritional value.
Crafted fresh in-store to deliver a premium, restaurant-style experience, the bowls are available in two flavour styles, teriyaki and ponzu, with a choice of salmon or tofu for the teriyaki bowls, and ahi tuna or prawns for the ponzu bowls. Each bowl features a generous base of rice and greens, topped with a selection of avocado, mango, pickled onions, and crispy wonton strips, plus bold finishing touches like sesame seeds, fried onions, and furikake. Guests can choose from signature sauces, such as Sriracha Mayo or Wasabi Aioli, for added depth and contrast.
The poke bowl recipes were created by Chef Jason Baker, Director of Culinary, QSR at Freshii and a Vancouver native, whose culinary vision is deeply rooted in the West Coast's healthy lifestyle and abundance of fresh seafood. His expertise has been instrumental in crafting the lineup to ensure an authentic and exceptional taste experience.
"As someone who grew up on the West Coast, I've always been inspired by the way food can be both nourishing and bold in flavour," says Chef Jason. "With our new poke bowls, we wanted to bring that sense of balance and freshness to every bite using quality ingredients and global influences to create something that feels vibrant, satisfying, and true to Freshii's mission."
To bring this bold new lineup to life, Freshii collaborated with its franchisees and chefs to introduce a wide range of fresh ingredients, each prepared daily in-store. The new poke bowls are priced at $16.99 and are now available at participating locations across Canada.
