    Brown rice; salmon, tuna, spicy tuna. Lots of seaweed, house sauce. Joy.
    Robert P.

    Some of the best Poke I ever had! Was not impressed at first. Place is small but clean, menu is modest, prices high. And the scoop they use to retrieve fish is so small it might as well be a thimble. I got their "Medium" with 3 thimbles, their large is 5. Tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon; brown rice; all the toppings plus extra seaweed, and house sauce. Delicious!

    Walked in and was greeted by who I think might have been the wonder, super nice and respectful. But first thing I noticed was the smell. It was not a pleasant one to walk into. But I still had hope. When we got our food and took it home, we started eating. I then noticed the smell of my rice and it was again not a pleasant or fresh smell of rice. It actually smelled like either dirty water rice or when you let the rice sit out to long kind of smelled. The rice I had ordered was the sushi rice and my wife had ordered normal white rice. Both smelled incredibly bad.

    Bad cucumber soggy and frozen

    Service and food... nobody came to the bell for minute , then young girl with inappropriate clothing appeared and couldn't get order right for which bowls I wanted and had to be reminded. Scoops my rice onto my plate using the lid of the plastic Togo container. Then when I said to please remove the cucumber since it was frozen and soggy from defrosting she looked at me like nothing is wrong with it. When I asked her if she sees it's bad she says I don't kno I got in 20 minutes ago. Then when I asked for house spice and ponzu she says they are the same thing which they are not and puts spicy mayo on it and we don't eat mayo. I said that and she looked at me like that's my problem. I asked if it can be removed she said she would have to charge me. I said she could have asked me which spicy I wanted since there's 3 of em. Instead when I told her she only doesn't care but I won't be back here she says she doesn't care doesn't like my attitude. Then when my hand is out for my change she sets it down on counter behind my reach and leaves to the back. I had to bring her back out just to get my receipt. WE HAVE BEEN RETUN CUSTOMERS AND NOW I WILL NOT BE BACK... good luck

    Despite the horrendous reviews, I decided to give Grindz Poke a try. When I walked in, contrary to what others said, the smell of the store seemed perfectly normal. Even if there was a smell, how much can that hurt? It's just a little bit of added personality. The environment was extremely well maintained and a nice young lady welcomed me into the store. I wasn't able to get her name but she was very kind and had a very warm smile. As for the food, I have nothing but a raving review!! The salmon was fresh, not in the slightest fishy. I consider myself to be a connoisseur of poke bowls and this one just might be in my top 10! The rice was a bit moist but it was well compensated with the ratio of fish I was given. The salmon is a must try and the avocado was absolutely fresh. I'm really glad I gave this place a try, and I most DEFINITELY will be back.

    The Poke is fresh. The Medium size is filling. Had enough leftover for a later snack. Will definitely return again. Friendly staff.

    It was our first time here. It was pretty slow for an early Sunday night dinner around 6. Nobody…read morewas there, but by the time we started eating, the place got packed. It's a small, quaint, unassuming place, but their kitchen cranks out rich flavors. We all got different things so we could try out what they have to offer. I was the only one brave enough to try the (bulgogi) mazemen, and it did not disappoint. I followed the instructions on the table & I liked it w/ the vinegar! Another person at our table got the donkatsu w/ rice; it was gobbled up pretty quick so I imagine it was delicious. The other 2 were in the mood for tonkatsu ramen - 1 got spicy, the other, plain. It looked like there was a lot of green onions for my taste, but they didn't complain. Another hit was the karagge chicken and gyoza - both came w/ tasty sauces! It's a great restaurant in an area filled with other great spots, so we'll be back!

I enjoyed the donkatsu rice bowl, which was flavorful and perfect portion size for 1 person. For some bites before our dinner, we ordered gyoza (a classic side) and their viral veggie croquette that we paired with the donkatsu sauce. Service was excellent and we especially loved how clean and well kept the restaurant was. We look forward to coming back for seconds!

Once I tried their sushi for the first time, they quickly became one of my favorites in OC. They fly their fish in every Friday and you can literally taste the freshness. Over the times I've visited, I've tried basically the whole menu but a couple in particular are my favorites. I always start off with the Blue crab appetizer that's wrapped with salmon on the outside and asparagus. Their sushi rolls are all solid here--I can't recommend the signature Chubby roll enough. And if you're feeling adventurous, they even have Tuna bone marrow shots which are actually such a nice palate cleanser! And, of course, the star of the show is the Chubby sashimi platter. Each piece is thiccc and melts in your mouth and even comes with sweet shrimp and uni. This spot is genuinely a 10/10, so if you haven't tried it, like I said, you're definitely missing out! Thanks for reading! ^-^

Came here for my dad's bday since he is a sashimi fan and we needed to have noodles on bdays (for longevity). Was surprised at the quality of the tuna and salmon they have. I'd skip on the uni though, there's a very faint taste of bitter at the very end which seems common in most sushi places.

    HAVE: 4/5 Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup 4/5 Crispy…read moreWonton TAKE: Finally, a good Taiwanese spot in Brea mall! The Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup is a perfect mix of savory and slightly sweet flavor. The beef is very tender--feels like it was slow-cooked for hours. The dumplings were nice and crispy, not greasy at all. Customer Service 3/5. The setup is a typical food court style: you order at the counter, and wait for your name to be called. Regarding the service at the counter, it is very functional. The staff seems focused on moving quickly, so they don't really take the time to explain the menu or offer suggestions, even if it's your first visit. Overall, it's a great spot for a quick, authentic Taiwanese meal while shopping.

Ordered their Bafang Signature Noodle and Spicy Mala Noodle. Both dishes got very clumped together so I had to mix them for quite a while before eating. The Signature Noodle had a pretty good flavor but the Mala Noodle tasted quite similar but just a little spicy. They were pretty solid especially for the price for it being 2026 but nothing to rave about. The service was quite awful. I had looked at the menu beforehand so I knew what I was getting but there was no interaction at all. While waiting for my order, there were several people trying to order and the people working at the stall next door had to get their attention every single time. It's great food considering it's mall food but if they had this same service and food quality as a standalone restaurant, I wouldn't see them being open for as long as they have here.
