Poke bowl with just greens no rice with tuna and yellowtail, added edamame, green onions, masago, avocado and alot more !
Esther C.

Food is the best in town ! Had others but none compare to this place it's so delicious every time ! Staff always great! And clean and nice inside. A must try

Abid always takes care of me when I come in! Good guy.

Came back to say that I love my local Mono Poke in Westchester! Abid knows me now and has taken the time to learn my bowl preferences! He always gives service with a smile and that's refreshing in today's time! My bowl is salmon and full of all the green stuff I need to be eating. Also, now they have my favorite soda option Stubborn "Pineapple Cream Soda" in addition to their very unique selection of beverages! I always get to try some new bev when I come get my lunch!

Salmon, Tuna Poke Bowl (Medium)

Fresh, Flavorful, and Absolutely Fantastic! I can't say enough good things about this place. The poke bowls here are next level -- super fresh fish, vibrant toppings, and perfectly seasoned rice. You can tell they put real care into the quality of each ingredient. I built my own bowl with spicy tuna, salmon, seaweed salad, mango, crispy onions, and their house-made spicy aioli... and I was blown away. Every bite was balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making great suggestions without being pushy. Service was quick, and the place was clean and welcoming with a laid-back vibe that's perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Whether you're a poke enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back -- probably sooner than I should admit!

Second time coming and again the food was great! Service as quick and friendly, we ordered, paid, sat and enjoyed our food. We sat inside once again, it's a nice little casual spot for a nice lunch. Will be coming back again.

Ding go there!!!!

Asked if they could serve the rice separate. Manager said no. Because of inventory. Sooo they missed out on a $20 sale because they wouldn't separate the rice lol I tried explaining I didn't want the fish to get warm by the time I ate it later on my flight. On the plus side I had a really great burrito from the taco truck right next to it. Go there instead! They're way nicer too :)

This poke place hit the spot! I wish it had more protein but i ordered a medium and looked small but packed with flavor. Spicy tuna, salmon, octopus with up to 18 toppings. Added avacado and sauce was spicy mayo and spicy sauce. I ordered for pick up and was super easy to park.

I was so excited about trying Mono Poke but it just didn't hit the mark for me. It was a very clean establishment with many options to make your poke your way. Exciting since most other places come with a set poke bowl. One thing I loved was the generous portions. I found that the portion size for the price was absolutely worth it. Where it fell off was the flavor. Perhaps it's the sauces I chose... I tried to get a mix of flavorful and spicy since that's what I like but the sauces fell flat. Also, the fish chunks were too big. While you'd think that wouldn't be an issue, it was too much chunk per bite. I would have preferred smaller chunks for sure. I would definitely give Mono Poke another try with slightly different options but my first experience wasn't what I expected or hoped for.

Raspberry and rose water, delicious!

I love poke bowls! So fresh, not heavy and greasy. It's close by and affordable for quality and amount of food! Love their macaron ice creams!

I'm an absolutely crazy poke lover. I have very high expectations when it comes to fresh fish, quality, and quantity, and I'm glad to say that this location hits all marks for me. I went here with my boyfriend in hopes to find a good quality poke place in the LA area around his school, and we stumbled upon this small poke store in a slightly dark and empty area... We saw that there weren't any customers and we were suspicious at first, but I thought to myself that usually smaller businesses and shops have better food, so I went into the shop with pretty good expectations and an open mind. I was pleasantly greeted and surprised with the quality of the food. There was one single worker who was an older man, and I don't think he was fluent in English but nonetheless he gave very kind portions for the proteins and toppings. A lot of poke places are also heavily priced for their bad quality fish and stingy portions, but I can say that Mono Poke had the perfect price for their pristine-quality fish. The fresh shredded crab meat was also sooooo good because most places would just sell imitation crab, but I was glad this store offered real and fresh crab. The fish also seemed like it was tended well and of great quality, and it didn't leave a sticky/rubbery aftertaste. Honestly was contemplating on gatekeeping this poke place, but I thought they deserved more recognition for their delectable foods. Love Mono Poke!!!

Customer Service = zero stars…read more Walked in and no one greeted me. Lots of staff & lots of empty tables. Two people at the registers by a sign in sheet. They made eye contact but no welcome or instructions. So i put my name down & was standing there for 10-15 minutes. No one acknowledged me. I finally asked someone cleaning the table how the seating works. She said sit anywhere. Then I looked at the two people at the registers and said. So you're not checking the sign in log. She said no. I said, so I just sit anywhere and get my own menu. She said yes. I wish they had told me when I walked in. While I was dining no one came to see how I was or if anything was needed. But the table next to me was asked 3 different times if they needed anything. Mind you lots of staff and restaurant almost empty but customer service was non existent.i waited 15 minutes after I was done eating and i finally had to tell them I was ready. I wasted a lot of time just waiting. Food = 3 Stars I ordered 2 spam musubi and Char Sui Royale stir fried. Food was good but presentation on the musubi was basic. Parking They have a tiny lot with one disabled parking spot and two regular spots but it's difficult to get in and out of. There is street parking in front of the business. Overall Rating = zero stars Although the food was good, the customer service was lacking. Employees we're trying hard not to make eye contact & neglected customers. Not welcoming and not attentive. Won't be returning.

It's located south of the Alhambra arch, and they have a small parking lot next to the building. The outside and inside of the restaurant are really cute/cozy and make you feel like you are at a local diner in Hawaii. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's not the largest space, so prepare to wait in line a little bit if you come during prime weekend brunch hours. Staff are really nice and moved two tables together for us in the corner, and they have high chairs available for kids. We ordered two macademia nut pancakes and a breakfast plate with kalua pig and Portuguese sausage. My father-in-law also got a coffee (it's Folgers) to share with my husband. It was the perfect amount of food to share amongst the three of us, so you don't have to each order an entree because the portion sizes are huge. The pancakes and fluffy and chewy, and the custard and macademia nuts on top made it not-too-sweet and creamy. The kalua pig was so tender and melt in your mouth--a little bit salty but balanced out with the rice and egg. My only qualm was the paper plates that they gave us started tearing kind of quickly the moment it absorbed any oil from the food, so I had a hole in the middle of my plate that you could see the table through for half of the meal. But the food and vibes were immaculate (all three of us loved it), so maybe I'll bring my own plates next time. We will definitely be back!

We visited Honu Hawaiian BBQ around 7:40 pm on a weekend. There's parking throughout the plaza, but…read moreit was packed when we arrived and we had to drive around a little before finding an open spot. This is a small food-court-style spot. You order at the counter, and if you walk farther inside, there's a shared seating area with tables for the different restaurants in the plaza. We found a spot to sit while we waited, and they gave us a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready. It took less than 10 minutes, so it was a super quick and easy meal. I ordered the Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate with a side of Chicken Katsu and it was SO good. The shrimp was incredibly crispy and packed with garlic butter flavor. The katsu and macaroni salad were great as well. It was simple, but everything about it hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed Honu Hawaiian BBQ. The food came out quickly, the plate was delicious, and it was such an easy casual meal. I'll definitely be back!

We've…read morebeen plenty of times and we'd get the short ribs and the teriyaki chicken or beef ribs depending on what I'm craving. Onto our food -- the chicken was lacking flavor, I'd rather go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ which has way more flavor. The salad changed from shredded cabbage to mixed greens. The beef short ribs are much thinner and no longer pre-cut. The teriyaki sauce is worse too - thick sauce, vinegar/sour flavor -- not sure if it's gone bad but definitely not the thin teriyaki flavor sauce they used to have. I cannot comment on the beef ribs as we did not order it but it seems everything went downhill and I would not recommend this place anymore. The clerk that assisted us was nice and friendly so +1 star.

The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

Be prepared to call ahead to order or wait at least 15 minutes, as everything is made fresh to order. We got these items to try. Indonesian Fried Chicken - BOMBBB, probably the crispiest Indo fried chicken we've had before. Seasoning was good and the flavors were on point. We got the 6-piece without the rice and enjoyed the sauce it came with. (4.5/5) Mixed Plate - Definitely better than many other Hawaiian spots. Not sure if this place specializes in Hawaiian food since the owner/worker was Indonesian, but this was bomb. Tender meat and heavily seasoned. Went well with the rice.

While I was staring at the menu deciding whether I wanted to get anything, several people came and went with their orders and everyone told me to get the fried chicken. So, I went inside and got the fried chicken with macaroni salad. A few mintues later, I added a katsu musubi to the order. This is not fast-food. The wait is real. About 12 minutes. I then had probably about 10 minutes of driving before I sat down to eat. The fried chicken is delicious and has a great crispy/crunchy skin. There is a faint sweetness that coats the chicken. The meat was not super plump like some national-chain places (I think those places brine-injected the chicken). Depending on your preference, this might feel too dry to you. Their dipping sauce for the chicken is very tasty. If they just sold that in bottles, I'd come just to buy that for use at home! Speaking of preferences, the macaroni salad is also well made, but it's simple and might be disappointing if you're expecting some kind of flavor kick. I liked it very much, because it is in the style of the basic macaroni salad -- someone described it as going home to Hawaii for them -- and I think that's what it is. Portions were enough to split into two meals. So I had half of my chicken and the mac salad. I had planned to also only eat half of the musubi. But it was delicious and had a nice crunch which I'm sure would not have held up being kept in the fridge. I really enjoyed the musubi on its own, but also enjoyed taking turns with bites with that sauce added on. I stored the rest of the chicken and mac salad in the fridge and then had them for dinner 6 hours later. Despite being in the fridge, the chicken still had a bit of a crunchy bite to it - it wasn't a mushy soggy mess. Very friendly service. This is not a sit-down place you go to for a dining experience - just a solid place to get food to go that will be delicious. Now that I've had the fried chicken that everyone seems to recommend, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.
