Loved this place, been coming here since opening 4 years ago under a different name. Now I'm not quite sure. Today was especially bad. Horrible customer service, all new people that didn't know what they were doing. Portion sizes also shrunk significantly. Rewards system is a scam also. Several times when I was close to a freebie my points disappear. Happened this time also when I knew I was close to a large one it said I have no points available. When I asked for two scoop of albacore, the container barely had any and the guy had scraped it up claiming it was two scoops when you can tell it can only fit as one scoop. Furthermore, asked if they had any avocado left, they didn't even check they just said no. Lastly the pineapple dole whip float. The guy hesitated when we asked if we can have one, and this is what comes out of it. A float is supposed to be in a cup, we got served this in a bowl. Went in again and asked if this was right since we can't even drink out of it. The guy remakes it in another bowl! And just hands us the pineapple juice to do it ourselves with no lid or utensils.

Large Poke Bowl

This poke bowl SATISFIED my cravings! I ordered a white/brown rice bowl with salmon, tuna, and scallops mixed with their house and unagi sauce. Although the scoops of protein and toppings felt plentiful and delicious, I felt like the server was being very frugal with their rice, especially for a large bowl. I ended up finishing the rice with lots of toppings left but I can't complain about leftovers :) This Poke spot is nestled in the Vons shopping center in Monrovia (Grindz offers $4 coupons for purchases at least $16 on Vons receipts). After using the coupon, my total came out to $14ish which is a reasonable for 5 scoops of protein.

We just moved to Monrovia not too long ago. Compared to all the poke places we have had over the course of a couple year. This place definitely smacks. Service: - they were patient with us. It takes us some time to decide what protein, what add on, and sauces we want. - they had new employees and they were all generally nice and awesome. Good job to their management team on their staff. Fish choices: - They didn't have a lot of fish options, but they do deliver on the quality of their salmon and tuna. Overall, we have came back multiple times over the course of 2 weeks as we are trying to have a healthier lifestyle. Great fish! Great Poke! Recommend all residences in Monrovia fo try this place out.

Medium Bowl - 3 Scoops

This is my go-to spot for poke in Monrovia! The fish is always fresh and staff are super generous with the toppings/sauces. I highly recommend ordering a medium bowl- it's pretty filling. The house sauce, crunchy garlic sauce, and eel sauces are my favorite for bowls! The prices are a bit high here, but definitely worth it if you're craving a quick and fresh poke place!

HUGE Large Bowl - 5 Scoops FOR LESS THAN $20
Nova N.

Large bowl (5 scoops) was less than $20!!! It is huge ok and I eat a lot! The dude that works Friday afternoon asked me a lot of questions to make sure I got the bowl of my dreams! 10 out of 10 recommend

Minh N.

First time trying Grindz and it did not disappoint! I got the medium bowl (3 scoops of protein) and it was huge--easily two full meals for me. I loved that they didn't charge extra for all the toppings I asked for. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Tons of texture too from the crispy toppings, such as seaweed salad, cucumbers, edamame, and pickled ginger. Workers were also super friendly even though I felt like I asked for everything haha. If you're in the area and craving poke, this place is a solid pick.

Food is always fresh and tasty! This place never disappoints and the portions in my opinion are huge compared to other franchises in the neighborhood. My kids love it and they have dole whip! If you can't make it to Disneyland, come here for your dole whip fix

Jasmin A.

This place has amazing poke! The portions are great and everything tasted so fresh. The three protein I picked: spicy tuna, salmon, and shrimp. I love that you can also add the crab meat!

Donna C.

We got a chance to speak with the staff and we're told Grindz has been open for 7 years now. It's in the same plaza as the Vons, Mooyah and TK Cafe. I was craving poke and stumbled across this poke location. When you walk inside, the interior is very simple and clean. We were immediately greeted by staff who asked if this was our first time. He gave us a quick intro on what was available and how to order. You pick your choice & amount/type of protein. The cost varies and for extra protein, it's $2 more. There's a good variety of toppings and sauces. Everything tasted fresh and the crunchy onion gave it a nice texture. They were very good sized portions and I left in a food coma. Food ordered: one bowl with ahi tuna, albacore and shrimp + another bowl with albacore, salmon and tako. Our toppings varied, but the seaweed is always good with poke or rice. The fish tasted fresh and not too chewy. Drink: green tea with lychee (it's the Hawaiian Sun brand)

I love this place. Best poke place in the area. The price is really good for how much they serve you compared to other places. Been coming here for the past year and never fails :)

Medium bowl is a good size
Roberta L.

Came here for lunch after a hike. The food was decently priced and the size was pretty big too! We got the dole whip float which was dole whip plus pineapple juice! It was so good! I would come back just for that! Also the staff were very nice!

Denise C.

decent portion for the price! the fish is also really fresh. i love all the toppings they offer and none of them required a surcharge! i came here with friends and we all loved our bowls. the service was quick and easy. they also have plenty of seats for dine in. i would totally come back! such a great poke place.

Sarah Y.

Hi yelp friends! I took a small break but I'm back!! Woke up CRAVING poke is an understatement! I was talking to a friend at the gym and she told me to try this location! I'm glad I did . I was the first guest of the day and the staff was warm and welcoming. The store was immaculately clean. I ordered a medium bowl with white rice which comes with 3 scoops of a protein of your choice. Scoops were plentiful. The rice was hot which I enjoyed! Everything tasted extremely fresh! I'm glad Grindz is so close to my home. I definitely will come back

My eldest daughter wanted poke bowl for dinner. We haven't had poke in a while. It was our chance…read moreto find a new spot. I was in Arcadia and found Po'ki Bar on Yelp. I got lucky to catch them 30 minutes before they closed at 8:00 PM. Pretty clean place with bar stool seating along the left wall. All gender restroom is in the back. Build your own poke bowl. Small (2 scoops), medium (3 scoops), and large (5 scoops) sizes ranging from $16+, $18+, 20+ per bowl, respectively. Protein consists of salmon, tuna, albacore, octopus, scallops, shrimp, tofu, etc. Toppings vary from edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic, and shallots. Base comes in white sushi rice, organic brown rice, salad, or half & half. Got two large poke bowls with salmon and all the toppings. Avocados cost extra. Love the big chunks of fresh salmon! Scoops could be a tad larger. Please note extra toppings will cost extra money. Each bowl comes with a max of 3 sauces... got Dynamite, Spicy Garlic, and Sweet Unagi. They were very flavorful sauces especially when combined together. I would get a large poke bowl with all 3 of the same sauces again. Lady staff members were friendly and nice. Prices was on the higher end compared to other poke places. Nevertheless, tasty, fresh and healthy poke bowl is a win win win in my book. Po'ki Bar delivered. Highly recommend!! Btw, Po'ki Bar biz sign is not lit at night. Look for the OPEN sign that is lit.

Their topping selection has a good variety, with all your standard poke toppings. I can't complain! The sauce selection is also pretty standard, my usuals being their house shoyu and sesame. A while ago, they had a citrus sauce, but sadly discontinued it. I'm hoping one day they bring it back because it was my favorite! Although the quality of their poke has been consistent through all the years, their prices have gone up significantly compared to other poke places in the area. A small bowl runs you about $18 - $20 now, depending on if you pay for the extra avocado. Their poke is still delicious, but Poki Bar has been out of the rotation for me due to the increase in price compared to the average poke shops nearby.

The Tuna Lava flavor had a mexican taco flavor twist which wasnt something I was expecting, I dont know if I enjoyed it in my poke but it was okay. Salmon was good, I enjoyed the wasabi lime sauce they offered. I came on a Wednesday afternoon and they had plenty of seating, not too packed. Place was clean and bright. Not the best poke I have had, but not the worst.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Tokyo Central yet, though I've stopped by here…read moredozens of times - my go to is their sushi tray options! They have the BEST tasting salmon sushi/sashimi all around, at this price point, even better salmon quality compared to nearby sushi restaurants in my opinion. (Our Japanese native friend also agrees.) Best part is - 20% off after 7 pm!!!! But the trays get snatched up quickly. Too bad I'm not around the area at that time, otherwise I'd make Tokyo Central my weekly run for dinner. Their Kimchi Tako Poke is another regular we get, it's so good. However, recently, the only option I saw was the Shoyu Tako Poke - and I didn't like this version one bit - too hard and the flavor is not to my liking. Will never get it again. The hot food area has quite a decent selection, priced and weight by the pound, self-served. Often around 3-4pm, you may see 20% discounted packaged hot food placed out, whatever that's leftover from the lunch rush hour. Tried it a few times, but felt most of the food is heavily dosed in MSG, so I'd be selective on what I get. They also have sashimi party trays which require pre-order. Great pricing for the quality and convenience. Overall, love their sushi selection, and it's a regular stop for us. As for the market itself, there's not as much to buy, and pricing is on the higher end. However, they have a larger selection of some products that I can't find elsewhere, and sometimes their advertised specials are decently priced.

My favorite #1: Their eggs have golden yellow yolks, which you won't find in most supermarkets. My favorite #2: their baked teriyaki eels; you can make Eel Rice for the a small family with one package, usually between $25-35 but sometimes on sale for under $20. My favorite #3: their thick sliced bread (厚片土司) - each slice is about twice as thick as ordinary sliced break; very gratifying when they pop out of the toaster! They also have a huge selection of ready-made food from bento boxes to sushi. A great place for busy working people to get easy meal solutions!
