One of my top 3 poke spots in town--absolutely love this place! The fish always tastes fresh, and the portions are solid. They offer online ordering and easy pickup, which makes it super convenient to grab on my way home. Consistently great quality. read more

Yum yum yum.... nice guys nice fluid, amazing mountain views of you sit with your back to the wall and sweet music.... priced right Thank you read more

If you're looking for some delicious fresh pokey look no further. Great spot with great employees to match. What I like about this location is there side ingredients that you're able to add on. For example they have flamen hot Cheetos crumbs. If you're gonna order some pokey, might as well get the five scoop version of it, it's the best bang for your buck if you think about it. Make sure you come here hungry and be prepared to leave satisfy. Will be back again read more

Good poke. Good portions. Good service. If you're in the area, I see no reason to go anywhere else for poke. read more

My go-to spot for poke bowls!! I was never a huge fan of poke before until this place. In my opinion, it beats the poke I've tried in Hawaii and around LA, I believe the seasoning & sauce is what makes this place amazing!! As well as the quality of fish being so fresh all the time. as I have a keen smell for the ocean and I can't eat anything too fishy. For marinade oils, I always order "Spicy garlic ponzu" and for topping sauces it's always "Dynamite" -- FIRE!! To top it off, avocado is free of charge. I'm grateful it's available on door dash app cause it's a little bit of a drive for me. read more

Love this place.... my go to for Poké inn this area. Love that avo is included, not an extra. They always have fun, nice, friendly staff here as well. read more

My mother and I were victims of the cucumberpocalypse but when we came back to redeem free bowls, our server was this girl named Karina and she prepared the best bowl I've had in my life. Thank you Karina :) read more

I ordered two large bowls with 5 scoops of tofu to be delivered for dinner tonight. I have never written a bad review for a restaurant that I bought delivery from, but the food was such a rip off that I had to say something. The bowls were $18.95 each and horribly overpriced for what we received. The brown rice was hard in both bowls like it was old. I selected three different sauces for each bowl and both bowls had no flavor. For each of the veggies I ordered, we were literally given only a pinch of each vegetable. The food was absolutely tasteless, we each got about 6 small cubes of tofu (not 5 scoops unless they were using a teaspoon coffee scooper), and absolutely not worth the price. I recommend if you want poke bowls, go to Oke Poke or Bay Poke instead. Would not recommend this place, way overpriced and the food is skimpy without flavor. read more

My favorite poke place in Monrovia. Fish is fresh, many side options (including free avocado?? that's awesome!), and flavorful sauce. Portions can be very generous depending on who's working haha! The service is great. Parking is very easy, located in the Vons grocery plaza. read more

Ordered through DoorDash, I got 5 scoops of fish. It was packed to the top which was great, fish was fresh my only issue was the jalapeños. It was the canned type like they use in nachos. Would rather it be fresh jalapeños. Other then that everything else was pretty good. read more

I don't usually reach out to establishments we purchase from or visit. But today was an experience that definitely deserves a complaint. We wanted to try your establishment and ordered two medium bowls (3 scoops of protein) and chose salad mix as our carbs. The female server helped us prepare our choices and we paid and went on our way. To our surprise upon eating the food, under all the protein mixed in with the salad mix are a few twigs that have a lot of dirt in them. So my bowl was half filled with dirt and salad, this left a bad taste in my mouth, both metaphorically and literally. I do not see how the server is not able to visibly see that the salad mix is not clean or contaminated, seems deliberate. I think this is unacceptable especially when it comes to food. read more

Fast service, usually not busy, there are tables for seating, maybe skip the spam musubi

What a wonderful experience I had for lunch today at Oke Poke! Eric was a polite young man who greeted everyone with a smile and kindness. He was helpful and knowledgeable of the offerings.

Had an amazing first Grindz experience! Lots of veggie options which were awesome. I ended up getting a tofu bowl with lots of wasabi, sesame wakame salad, cucumber (risky as I'm reading from other reviews LOL), and edamame. Attentive server Carinna gave lots of amazing recommendations for this poke novice, which I appreciated! Would go back again :) read more

Very fresh poke and the service was great! interesting sauces too ! I can't wait to come back ! read more

Somehow the poke here tastes better than the the other five or six other places I've been locally. They told me that the proteins are fresh every day and the sauces are all homemade. I had their kimchi sauce which added just the right amount of kick. Never seen this sauce anywhere else. The shop is small, but has a nice atmosphere with Hawaiian music (not too loud). And the staff is very helpful and friendly. They are right next to our Vons, so we will be coming back! read more

Unlimited toppings, free avocado, big portions for a good price... what more could you ask for?? They practice social distancing measures and the staff wear masks and gloves. The employees are nice and work relatively fast for just having two staff members. The place seems pretty popular, having a constant influx of customers. The countertop could be wiped down more often because there were several left over bits and pieces of food & sometimes food hanging over the bowl would just be dragged on the counter. The fish seems relatively fresh, not too fishy. The small 3 scoops of protein was around $12. They were very generous with toppings and had a wide variety. I enjoyed their sauces; the house special sauces were unique and delicious! My favorite thing here is that the avocado is FREE which is super rare, and also I was able to get extra crab meat. The lady that served me and my friend was super nice and helpful when we had a lot of questions about the sauces. The service was fast. The rice is pretty standard, but I do think there is a little too much rice given. I got spicy mayo sauce and some other sweet sauce, but the mayo is definitely over powering and has a kick to it. The cooked shrimp is tender, and to be honest I can never really taste the difference between the fish so it was all good to me - soft and not too fishy. I also ordered a beef sukiyaki bowl, and you go through the same process as ordering for poke, just not the sauces. This one took longer to get ready, but mostly bc I think the beef was cooked fresh. Waited about an extra 10-15 mins for it. The dole whip machine was broken unfortunately :( Definitely coming back here! read more

This place has really gone down in terms of quality and value. I just placed an order for pick up online. There was just a lot of issues. 1. Food was left unrefrigerated on the counter. Has the staff heard of food borne illness? I placed an order at 3:50 PM for pick up. I was finishing up at work and got held up a bit. I got there at 4:20 PM and the food was just sitting on the counter. Unrefrigerated. Big no for raw seafood. 2. I had ordered crawfish, I was given scallops instead. I'm not sure if they ran out or something, but I never got a phone call or anything notifying me and they just substituted it. What if I was allergic? 3. I paid $1 for avocado. I got a RIDICULOUSLY small portion. Other places charge the same amount for 2-3 times the portion I got. Save your money and go elsewhere.. It's no longer worth coming here. read more

I like to come here to get a poke salad during my lunch time since it's close to my job. The selection here isn't that much compared to other shops but it does satisfy my craving. I really like their firecracker sauce and that's what keeps me coming back. Also when you check in on yelp they give you a free miso soup so that's a plus. read more

The redemption review. Was craving poke and was in the area so I gave it another shot. 5/5 Service from a female worker (didn't ask her name) Still disappointed as the new pricing scheme. House sauce is not as good as past oke sauce. Popper sauce not as good as old okesabi. 4.5/5 My two scoops of salmon were reasonable. What I would expect. Good but nothing extra. Thought the single scoop or Octopus was quite generous. Overall quality seemed fine. Not as good as the old situation but acceptable. Would visit if I was craving poke. read more

Wow! First time ordering here via mobile app and it exceeded my expectations! I ordered online since the Stay at Home Act has been in effect. You can place the time when you want to pickup your order. It was fast and efficient! My boyfriend and I were craving for some poke and we stumbled on this poke joint when we were yelping a few local spots in the area. I ordered the large create your own bowl with protein: ahi tuna, salmon, scallops, shrimp, and tako. I also added brown rice with crab, avocado (it's free), sweet onions, cucumber, seaweed, ginger, furikake, toasted sesame seeds and oke sauce. It was so delicious! The quantity and quality was good, they were not stingy on the fish. The fish tasted fresh which is a bonus because I ran into poke shops where the fish tasted fishy. For dessert we got Hawaiian shaved ice - strawberry flavor and Pineapple Dole Whip! The Pineapple Dole Whip was good but a little sweet. But I am so happy that there is a shop nearby for my cravings of Pineapple Dole Whip! I found a new poke spot and definitely will be back! I recommend this place if you want to give it a try! read more

Nice people great food would definitely come back , clean restaurants and reasonably priced

How does this spot compare to Ahi Poke and Poke Co and Wings (aka, my other fav poke spots)? - it's the same quantity and quality for a little less money - yay! Yes, the serving area was a bit messy (as others have noted) the Sunday afternoon when we visited. Oh well, I'm sure it's hard to keep all the toppings in their own containers when there's a big rush of people. This place had the most topping selections out of any poke place I've ever tried, including spicy crab salad! Never seen that one before, all places ever have is regular. A scoop of avocado in your bowl is NO EXTRA CHARGE! This place also had the most fish selections. Others have complained about the fish freshness here. We didn't experience that at all, luckily. I had salmon, ahi tuna, and spicy tuna on my bowl. A 3-scoop bowl is $10.95 - great price for a generous amount of poke! The spicy tuna here wasn't too spicy where it overpowered my whole bowl. I love kick to my poke, but at other places, sometimes the spicy fish is just way too much. Here, I had jalapeños, spicy tuna, and spicy crab salad in my bowl and nothing was too overpowering. See my pic - what amazing deals this place offers to our medical personnel, teachers, and military members! I've never seen deals this generous. I don't fall into any of those categories, but recognize these groups are our country's true heroes! How kind of a small biz to offer these sorts of deals. We'll definitely be back! :) read more

Please, please, please try this place out. I'm just saying because if another favorite poke place of mine goes out of business, I don't know where I'll go. I ordered 5 scoops of protein (2 scoops salmon, 1 tuna, 1 octopus, 1 scallops) with sushi rice, imitation crab (both regular and spicy) regular masago, edamame, seaweed salad, pineapple, and corn topped with furikake and roasted sesame seeds. Let me tell you, most places don't give you as much as this place. I recently went to a place in Irvine, felt ripped off, and instantly wanted to come back here. They also have a wide selection considering they have octopus, scallops and different kinds of sauces. So most of the time I order via DoorDash. This was my first time actually going into the place. The guy who helped me was friendly. Place was empty if not for me. I also trust their fish quality which is important when consuming raw. read more

4.5 stars! Really huge huge huge portions even for a regular size. The workers are definitely generous with their scoops. I usually ask for extra cilantro and extra onions but their scoops are already so big I didn't need to ask for more. The portions are so big that it's difficult to get to the base (in my case, brown rice). They have a lot of different toppings, fish options, sauce options, and dried topping options. My particular favorites were spicy masago, cucumber, cilantro, onions, salmon, fried onion, fried garlic, and the firecracker sauce. The firecracker sauce is essentially a spicier spicy mayo with sesame seeds in it. There was a good amount of seating inside and there's some tables outside. Service was friendly as well. Would come back! read more

We had a disappointing experience at Oke Poke Monrovia last night. I did speak with a manager today who explained that there are new policies in place which were mandated by corporate. In the past, if you did not choose to have avocado, you could have an extra scoop of crab at no extra charge. That is no longer the case. Also, for years I have asked for double lettuce when getting a salad with no rice, which used to be available without extra charge. That is also no longer the case. In addition, the manager explained that they have been instructed to give less poke, even though the prices when up 25%!! I ordered 3 scoops of two types of fish. Can you tell from the photo if the tuna or salmon was two scoops? I can't. read more

First things first- F-R-E-E AVOCADO. Yep yep. These reviews aren't lying!.... I can't seem to find a con about this place. Parking, PORTIONS, taste, atmosphere, variety of sauces, wait, service- All great!! I enjoy spicy food so it's nice to see the variety of spicy options they have- from the sauces, spicy masago, and spicy crabmeat. TIP: -Don't forget your yelp check in offer for free hot green tea or miso soup! -Now that you're in love with this place too, sign up for their rewards program so you can get free poke after your 10th purchase! Yum! Get your poke on! read more

COVID-19 Safety: All staffs are wearing proper PPE and use disposable gloves when handling food. Food: This is my go to poke place. The proportion size is amazing here and I also love how avocado topping is free. I have always had a good experience here with the freshness of the fish and toppings offered. Overall: I would recommend!! They also offer discounts for healthcare workers and EMT workers (not sure how long the promotion lasts until). Staff is also very welcoming! read more

So disgusting ! There are dirty twigs inside the bowl. I already ate half of the bowl . It tasted funny and I just check the food and found out, there's dirty twigs in the spring salad mix. So awful! There's lots of dirt in the salad. read more

2nd time coming back since the name change. First time the fish wasnt as fresh as I would like. Today at around 1230 pm I decided to give it another try. Ordered a medium bowl. Decided to add pineapple. Poor choice as it was off...smelled and tasted fermented. I just tried calling the store at 645 pm to let them know they may want to check it before serving. All I got was an answering machine with message saying mailbox is full and try calling back later." Hoping people aren't going to get sick. read more

I've been coming here for sometime, finally found the poke spot I call home; they seek to provide Hawaiian flavors and preparations, but keep it California with customizations to fit their customers' needs. The owner makes sure that not only the fish is quality, but also all the toppings that make their bowls. The sauces, especially are a passion project where the chef gets a chance to explore different flavor combinations and profiles to keep me coming back for more. And I will! read more

awesome food and cool vibe. staff very patient & friendly. I'm from LA and it had a cool Hawaiin LA feel. You must try their musubi

Really fresh raw fish, great size for the price. They have all the sides and additions you can imagine to add to your poke bowl. We went on a weekday and there was no wait. Service was kind and friendly. Spicy tuna was my favorite and the whole bowl felt together and complete. read more
