    Small Poke Bowl, Medium Poke Bowl, Fresh Teas
    Ariadna S.

    I wish my pictures could do this food better justice. Everything is sooo good. From the poke bowls to the sushi, fresh teas to milk teas, Poke Bar Monrovia knows what they're doing. The staff is very sweet & super helpful with any suggestions. Everything is reasonably priced, especially for the freshness & portions. You can see, smell & taste the freshness and that's something that's pretty important for a poke/sushi bar. If you're in the area, this is definitely worth stopping by because, even if it's out of my way, this location, specifically, has become my go-to for poké & sushi.

    I've been here years ago and finally made my way back here. Staff was friendly and took the time to prepare our bowls the way we wanted. We ended up getting one medium bowl (3 scoops) and one small bowl (2 scoops). Prices were pretty good for what it was and overall I enjoyed my meal. The fish was pretty fresh. I tried out the spicy tuna, salmon, and scallop which were all fire. Also added on kale noodles for $1 which IMO it lacked flavor, I would just stick to the rice. I went with the recommended sauces in the list of 10 combos that they advertised and they were pretty good. Overall I enjoyed the food, it hit the spot for what it was. Friendly staff, solid prices and pretty fresh poke. Note - Seemed like they had 50% off rolls when you buy a bowl.

    Now this is a real poke bowl!

    This poke bar had so many options to choose from. I loved the variety of different fishes with marinades. The employees were the nicest that I've ever encountered. They assisted us every step of the way as it was our first time. they even made suggestions, which I really liked. There was so many toppings to choose from sauces and seasonings. This bowl was by far one of the best poke bowls ever had and decently priced as well. I'm definitely coming back and becoming a regular.

    Decent poke place in Monrovia.. it's located near the Sprouts. I like being able to get a custom poke bowl and all the different options they offer. The employees are usually nice and it's more like a quick grab n go option. I also like that they carry sparkling water options. It's a great lunch spot for me when I am trying to eat healthy for the week.

    I was so hungry and this poke bowl place save my life!!! The restaurant was clean and the Poke bar look very fresh. I got 3 scoops half and half brown rice and mix green, OG spicy tuna, soy salmon, and albacore. The service was friendly. Taste very good and definitely recommend!

    Medium Poke Bowl

    This is my third time coming in and every time I come in it's a pretty good experience, it's nice, quiet and they're quick. I usually get the medium bowl with my 3 proteins and it fills me up perfectly. The guy who makes the bowls as well was very sweet and helpful and gave us his recommendation and his favorite sauces to mix. The food is always pretty good and the jasmine green tea was amazing as are all the others. Can't wait to come back again soon.

    TL;DR: good portions, good topping options, great taste. I've been coming to poke bar for a while since it's close by and local to me. It's consistently good, it never smells when I go inside unlike some other poke places I've tried. Service is always friendly, and generally I never have to wait long to be helped. They have kale noodles as well which is different. Miso soup is offered along plenty of sushi deals (Sundays). Great for a quick bite you can eat there or take it to go. Great for quick casual lunch.

    Medium Poke Bowl

    Excellent customer service and it wasn't that busy when I came by. They were generous with their scoops and were skimping out like most places. I got the medium poke bowl and the chef special #2. The poke bowl hit the spot and affordable as well.

    Casual, bright atmosphere with friendly staff. Win handled both my mom and my poke bowls and did a fantastic job. He was kind and patient. She also asked for a jasmine green tea boba, which he made well for her. She wanted it to be sweetened more, and he didn't mind making the adjustment for her. No attitude or a sense of annoyance that we sometimes get from other employees elsewhere. So this was much appreciated. The proteins and ingredients were all fresh, and there is a variety of toppings and sauces. We both had the 2 protein bowls for $12.45 each, which we thought was more than sufficient. Also, if you order a bowl, you get 50% discount on the sushi. Great deal! I had the tuna and salmon nigiri sushi, and it was pretty good. Fish tasted fresh. My only gripe is the rice was a tad hard. But not too bad!

    We order from here often! We usually get it delivered by door dash or another service. Tonight I went in to pick up a bowl for my son and the store was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Everything looked fresh and appetizing! My son ordered the large bowl with rice, octopus, spicy tuna, salmon, jalapeño, ponzu sauce, seaweed and spicy mayo. As always delicious and well prepared!! It's awesome to have such a delicious place near home where the food is always good and healthy! Plenty of parking and great location!

    Macarons! Theirs are huge!

    Pretty solid spot for poke bowls in the Monrovia area. Their ahi and shrimp are always fresh, base and toppings are generous, and the staff are always very happy and helpful. We always go for their medium bowl which gives you a choice of 3 proteins. I get ahi, shrimp, and albacore. My hubby likes to get ahi, albacore, and salmon. The ahi and shrimp are always fresh and delicious. The albacore and salmon can be hit or miss. The base options are white rice, brown rice, kale noodles, or salad. They used to have a tortilla chip option but removed it a while back. Their white rice is our go to. I've tried a couple of their boba milk teas - taro and Thai tea - good flavors and nice boba. They now offer some sushi but I haven't tried it yet. They have some dessert options too. We had been coming here frequently (even weekly) for a while but stopped bc the quality of their fish was declining. It's my understanding that they're under new management so we gave them another try and the quality definitely improved! The restaurant is always clean - order at the counter subway style - walk down the line and tell them your bowl choices if you're building your own. They're located in a large, busy shopping center with plenty of parking.

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.

I loved the batter: it was shatteringly crisp. The chicken was tender and flavored well, but I loved the sauce that came with it! For the mac salad, I thought it was just okay. It tasted a bit plain from other mac salads I've tried, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. For the price, the portion size is okay, but I'm not complaining since the food was good. Overall, the friendly service and fried chicken is what makes me want to come back again! I definitely want to try their other offerings too. Would recommend!

Lunch special menu was available. Other menu had main items, appetizers, and drinks. Prices were fairly reasonable. They are known for their famous pork katsu.

That was when I began to feel the fear of how popular this destination was, considering I arrived 10 minutes before it opened. By the time I walked over to Unreal, there was already a line out the door (on a Sunday!). The restaurant is quite small so that was why the line was out the door because it really couldn't fit that many people inside. Vibe was very much order and take home. I got the ginger scallion with a side of the macaroni salad. I didn't get the sweet potato mash ( cashier specified that it was not ube, but a kind of sweet potato native to Hawaii ) because I personally, am not the biggest sweet potato person. There are also premium tuna options (looking at you ahi garlic crunch) which was like a dollar or two more? All the fish are ahi tuna. Staff was nice and working as fast as they could. I was surprised that half an hour in, they were already having to make more rice because the initial amount they made were already out. The tuna were large cuts and marinated well. Definitely delicious. Rice was okay - I don't know why but I felt like the rice were of the smaller grain variety? I do like Unreal Poke because you are definitely paying for the quality. The only big but for me is that it's quite far from where I currently live and Ohana Superette, which is closer to me serves similar quality poke at nearly the same prices. However, if you live in the 626, this is definitely the nearest, best poke place in the valley.
