    Ordered two medium bowls, one with spicy tuna and salmon and one with albacore and scallops. Of the proteins, I would skip the scallop and salmon was the clear winner. Scoops are a smidge small compared to the base but the unlimited toppings help balance it out. The toppings were all fresh - especially loved the edamame, cucumber, fried garlic and shallots, seaweed salad and crab meat. Sauces sort of blend together if I remember right, you can only choose 2 and I did wish there was a bit more sauce. Dynamite and ponzu wasabi are my top picks.

    Small Bowl (2 Scoops) with salad

    We enjoyed our poke bowls, my favorite was the salmon. I ordered a small with salad. I like their sweet unagi sauce with sesame & shoyu. I love all the unlimited add-ons like edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic & shallots. You get 1 free scoop of masago & krabmeat. It's a lot of food for a small bowl. Or you can pay an extra $2 for medium bowl & get 3 scoops of protein instead of 2. They have a few tables & chairs for dine-in or you can get it to-go.

    Way to feel unwelcomed. I originally wanted to try the noodle restaurant next door but they hadn't opened yet so I decided to give Poki Bar a try. Also, they didn't have any customers so I thought I'd support their business. On my way in, I saw a promotion on the window for 20% online pick-up orders. I began browsing their menu on my phone to place an order and one of their employees tried to kick me out for looking at my phone in front of their restaurant. Like seriously, there was no one else there, why so rude? Instead of asking me if I needed any help ordering, they tried to ask me to leave. Since I was already there, I placed an order anyway. The food was mediocre, flavorless and portions were small. Scallop tastes like it was sitting around and was warm. I won't be coming back nor recommending this place to anyone.

    I love how bomb my poke bowl came out. I was helped by Sarah who was super friendly and patient. She walked me through everything and helped me get my bowl to perfection. Thank you so much! Also, the inside is really clean and music wasn't extra loud. Made everything better.

    Sad this used to be my favorite spot when I was in highschool and I just moved back to the area. Size wise is awful smallest bowl I've seen for poke and came out to $18.22 not worth I've had huge platters large size for that price lol. Fish quality isn't there anymore doesn't seem fresh.

    Outdoor seating available

    What's up: Had a craving for poke and did a search nearby to see what was around. Parking: Located at Arcadia Hub Shopping Center, parking is plentiful along the shared businesses. Environment: Limited outdoor seating is available. Since I placed an online order ahead of time, I was able to grab and go. There was one staff member working the counter. The place is clean and simple and the menu is displayed on the right wall. What was ordered: - Nari Bu: Dynamite Salmon w/Furikake, Spicy Garlic Shrimp w/ Green Onions, Garlic Spicy Tuna w/ Unagi Sauce, Spicy Garlic Tofu w/ Red Onions (yummy and unique but the tofu was a bit bland) - CaLee Bowl (California roll in a bowl. Mix it up for to make it yummy and creamy) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Food was good and ready when I arrived. The Nari Bu was interesting and unique. And I was pleasantly surprised by the CaLee Bowl. Overall, things were good. Credit cards and ApplePay are accepted.

    I've been coming here regularly since 2016 and am disappointed in the steep price increase and shrinkflation in portion size over the years. The poke here is delicious but $40 for 2 small bowls is not worth my money anymore.

    Yvonne C.

    The only thing that wowed me was the portion size and not in a good way. The medium size which is 3 scoops is pretty much the same size as my palm and I don't have big hands by any means. The beef bowl was even smaller! Lol so if you're a hungry person, this is not the spot for you. I've had better tasting poke for better price and bigger portions. I added shrimps for one of the scoops and I think they put like a handful of miniature pieces. They were tiny!!! I think these portions are made for people on a diet. I am far from being on a diet so it's a no from me.

    Large - 5 scoops poke and 4 piece Inari sushi
    Ann C.

    I love it when my BF finishes the gym at the same plaza and brings poke home for dinner. He also brought the 4 piece of inari sushi. The Large Poke 5 Scoops comes with plenty of fresh fish. It's big enough for both of us to share. Although the inari sushi was good, it was a little too sweet and the rice was a little too wet for my liking. If we get it again, I probably would tell them to go easy on the sauce.

    It's actually $1.00 now as they have increased it again. This, after raising all prices only weeks ago. -__-

    Wow I honestly wasn't expecting such a small mom and pop shop to be probably my new favorite…read moreHawaiian spot, but here we are. TK Cafe has thoroughly impressed me off first impression, and if I was closer, I'd probably be a regular here. For how much we ordered, the food didn't take too long to come out and genuinely, was so good. We got a lot here, from the garlic shrimp to the popcorn chicken, and so much more. The popcorn chicken was, without a doubt, my favorite item. We originally came here because a friend said they had the best popcorn chicken, and I'd honestly agree. It was crispy but also still a bit juicy and I feel like most places go heavily into the crisp aspect and it ends up just seeming overcooked. But it was a 10/10 here. The proportions are huge, so it's easy to over order. The crab rangoons were good on the portions and crispness and not overly filled with cream cheese which is nice. The noodles were good, pretty average, same with the Mac salad. The garlic shrimp was a bit overly garlic-y, but it was still good. If you're looking for a new Hawaiian spot, definitely check out TK Cafe. The proportions are huge and the taste is amazing. If I'm ever in Monrovia again, I'd definitely be stopping by!

    Not too many Hawaiian spots in the SGV, but I'm glad I came across this one. It sits in a corner of…read morea large strip mall with plenty of parking. All the familiar Hawaiian items are here, and then some. They offer A LOT of different dishes, including a whole bunch of dim sum. And their beverage menu is extensive as well, from your basic teas to milk tea boba and slushies. It's pretty impressive how these folks are able to squeeze all this food in this tiny little restaurant. Decided to go with the dish that everyone who has been to Hawaii has eaten at some point: the loco moco. I thought it might be a good way to gauge how authentic their food is. Ordered a side of Portuguese sausage musubi as well. Yeah, I'm a pig. Loco Moco - 5/10: so yeah. This definitely isn't your traditional loco moco, or at least the dish that I grew up eating (808 born and raised). Two patties, mounds of rice, eggs (unfortunately served over hard...should always be over easy so the yolk comes out) side mac salad - check, check, check and check. But then they bury on the bottom of this dish a bunch of stir-fried veggies, which threw me off a bit. This dish ain't supposed to be somewhat healthy. And then they throw a very light brown sauce on it that definitely isn't gravy. More like a brown sauce you'd mix in with pan-fried noodles. Yeah, just not the way this dish is supposed to made. But at least they give you a lot of it! - Portuguese Spam Musubi - 7.5/10: this one was much better. All the elements were there, and yes, they used Portuguese sausages. Hard to screw up musubi, but believe me, it can be done. Two pieces come in an order and they're on the larger side. So yeah, a little disappointed. I will say though that if I'm in the area again, I might order some dim sum. Happy feasting!
