i stopped by here randomly on my lunch and it's truly a vibe. good music and the lady was very pleasant. this food is sooo good and the flavor of the rice is unmatched. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is great when it's portioned properly. I came here with a friend, and I ordered a large bowl while they got a regular. Somehow, the portions ended up being almost exactly the same, even though I paid quite a bit more. We both left hungry because it felt like we had mostly rice with barely any poke. I don't know why some employees think one tiny scooper that only holds a few small pieces of fish counts as a full scoop, but it's really disappointing. The food tastes great when it's served right, but they seriously don't give enough fish or enough of anything, honestly. JUST GIVE MORE FISH!!! If I'm paying extra for a large bowl, it shouldn't look the same as a regular. If the owners or staff are reading this, please be more consistent with the portions. It's really frustrating. IM A SMALL THIN PERSON AND I WAS LEFT HUNGRY WITH A LARGE BOWL. NOT OKAY read more

Disappointed in my visit. Just left and received the smallest portions in my bowl. There was as a new girl working the line who was nice but extremely slow and skimpy on portions. No joke I wanted to give the entire bowl back bc it was so small. The store is quiet and usually not busy and we waited long to be helped/check out. The owner is usually there and she is generous and quick. New girl needs more support and training. read more

The poke was fresh and tasted good, but unfortunately I found a hair in my food. This raises concerns about food safety and whether proper hygiene protocols, such as wearing hair nets and following sanitary preparation procedures, are being consistently followed. I hope this was an isolated incident, as the food itself was enjoyable, but I hope the restaurant takes steps to improve its food handling practices. read more

Poki Monster - Hair - Poke Near Me - Brea, California

noticed that someone new was being trained during our visit, and she seemed understandably nervous, as it appeared to be her first day. Unfortunately, the trainer was very rude and impatient with her. Instead of guiding her through the process, the trainer would take the plates out of her hands when she made a mistake, complete the task herself, and then hand them back for the trainee to finish. She also seemed distracted, looking outside most of the time rather than paying attention and properly teaching the new employee. It made my partner and me uncomfortable to witness the way she was treated. Everyone has to learn somewhere, and new employees deserve patience and support. I hope she receives better training and is treated with more kindness moving forward. read more

Good food but for 2 large bowls pretty pricy for the small portions compared to other spots, only thing was the rush the workers were in they're was 3 ppl in line and me and my gf were rushed and the lady was moving fast kinda stressing us out lol, talking super fast needing to get us finished and pay, i never write reviews but service always is key read more

Poke Monster hits the spot every time. The fish is fresh, the portions are generous, and the topping options cover all my favorites--spicy salmon especially. Prices are kinda up there, but the bowls actually feel like a full meal. No frills, no skimping--just solid poke done right. read more

Stopped here yesterday as one of the "local" places I had m=on my list to try. Service was friendly but not helpful. As I was building the bowl I needed to request additional toppings as we built because the initial amount on some (seaweed, jalapeño were very sparse. The real "needle mover" here though was the fish. I got salmon, spicy salmon, Tuna, Spicy Tuna and scallops. While the fish did not appear to be "bad" the consistency was not that of a fresh sushi. kind of soft and unevenly cut. This was price consistent for the area but in my opinion no the best value for the dollar. Overall bowl taste was just "OK". Will probably frequent other places in the area before this one read more

It's our second time here in just a week. The food is so good and refreshing. Also the regular bowl is loaded and more than enough food. Today we tried the taro and avocado smoothie. They def take pride in the food and service too! The girls that work there are so sweet! read more

Poki Monster - Regular Poki Bowl and Large Poki Bowl - Poke Near Me - Brea, California

Service was amazing and drinks were a reasonable price and were amazing. Really homey vibes and had good student discounts

Best quality poke in the area and that I know personally. They have a lot of great options and it always comes out delicious. It would be great if they had eco friendly plates because currently they have black plastic plates so if they could upgrade to compostable materials it would be perfect. read more

The poke is very high quality, always fresh and flavorful, and the sauces are my favorite!

I had been craving poke for a while and this place did not disappoint. The staff was super friendly and most of all, kind. I got a spicy salmon, regular salmon and spicy tuna bowl with sushi rice. The toppings and fish were fresh and flavorful. The Thai tea boba also hit the spot. Under $24 for both the bowl and boba tea. The ambiance was nice. Loved the Hawaiian theme. Definitely recommend this place if you are craving a true Hawaiian poke bowl. read more

I absolutely love how big the plates are, very filling and great poki. I definitely come to this place at least once a month.

I've been there like three or four times and I've always gotten a good amount of portions. Food taste is good too

Overpriced for mediocre food. Totally not worth it & not coming back. They need a new business model cuz the one they currently have ain't working read more

Fresh and delicious. Lots of options. Fast and friendly service. Clean restaurant. Came for lunch and it did not disappoint.

One of the best spots to get poke in the brea/Fullerton area. Everything is fresh and the service is so friendly. The portions are very generous here and the rice is particularly good :9 read more

So glad I dropped by. Product quality is stellar, restaurant is clean, ordering is clear, and the staff were friendly with me. The lady in front of me was asking multiple questions and the team was patient and responded back cordially. Pricing was great for the quality you're getting. read more

Poki Monster - regular poke bowl with spicy tuna, salmon and spicy creamy tuna with no rice. Salad as the base. - Poke Near Me - Brea, California

Tried Poki Monster for lunch, and it was great! The fish was fresh, the portions were big, and they had a lot of topping options. I got spicy tuna and salmon with all the fixings super flavorful! read more

This is the first poke place I've been to that offers Salmon Toro! Although they only offer white rice, brown rice and salad unfortunately. Other places may offer other things like chips and noodles. I do like that they also offer some fish options that come marinaded in sauce, like the spicy creamy tuna, spicy salmon, and creamy scallops. I have to admit the albacore and seared tuna be looking on the dry side, but everything else looks good, especially all the salmon. They offer all my favorite toppings. After I order everything I like, I have a big bowl of amazingness. Tasty sauces too. Overall, I would come again. read more

Clean and quick with great food. Try the boba oreo shake it's incredible. Also the worker was nice

Decent spot for poke with regular 3 protein bowl for $13 and large 5 protein bowl for $16. The menu is easy to navigate and all the staff are friendly. I got a 3 protein bowl with salmon, spicy creamy tuna, and albacore! Fish tasted pretty fresh and portions are good. I'd stop by again if I'm craving poke in the area! read more

the best poke i've had in a while i'm definitely coming back !! service was great. aaliyah helped me she was nice and attentive to my order. the store was pretty clean and they gave me good portions, definitely worth the price than most other poke spots i've tried. read more

Such small portions I could see the bottom of my bowl. I will never come here again. 40 dollars for two half filled bowls is ridiculous.

Amazing food! My go to when I am craving fresh fish loaded with delicious flavors. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the place was clean and most importantly the food was bomb! read more

The food was so amazing. Their customer service was so good. The amount of food I got was more than expected for the $$. The fish was tasty and fresh. read more

As a food worker myself, I totally understand not accepting customers RIGHT before closing. But 15 minutes before closing? I was a bit disappointed to be turned around when I came in for an order that would have been done within 5 minutes max. The young girl who already put away a bunch of the food wasn't very kind about it. Wasn't the best first time experience. If your store closes at a certain time, people definitely should not come five minutes before closing. But 15? Just change your closing time to earlier! :/ read more

I've been to a lot of poke spots, but Poki Monster in Brea is consistently top-tier. You can tell the fish is fresh and the portions are generous -- they don't skimp on the toppings either! Love that I can fully customize everything, from base to sauce (spicy garlic is ). It's clean inside and the staff is friendly, quick, and patient with indecisive people like me Highly recommend if you're craving a satisfying, build-your-own poke bowl. read more

I was so disappointed by the quality, price, portion, and service. I used to love this place 10 years ago, so I wanted to try it out again. I was really disappointed. The quality of fish and ingredients did not look or taste fresh. I was going to order squid, but they didn't have any available to serve. The price is alright, but the portion size is nearly half of what it used to be. I got about 1 tbsp of seaweed salad, and was told I would be charged extra when I asked for a little more. For my avocado, I only got 2 slivers (less than 1/4 of an avocado). There was also a really little amount of fish. I could count how many cubes they served me...13 cubes. The service was really bad. The lady who helped me kept rushing me with my order. read more

Disappointing to spend almost $40 on two regular bowls with barely any fish. The scoops of sides were laughable.. no substitutions allowed and plenty of space in the bowl.. I understand it's a small business but it feels like the customer is getting ripped off. Average taste. read more

It was 8:10pm and as soon as we walked in she refused to serve us and said they were "closed for the night" when they have an actual closing time of 8:30pm. read more

Wish I could give a 2.5 star. Pretty good amount of fish but for a hefty price. Paid about $20 for a regular bowl and was surprised at the amount of fish they put in it, not a crazy amount especially for $20 but better than I've seen at other places. However the white rice was super grainy and tasted like leftovers. You pay extra for avocado but they put just a tiny scoop of it. Also barely any sauce, it was super dry even when I asked for extra. read more

Where's the fish? Ordered the regular and doesn't look anything like the photos. I think I was eating a vegetarian bowl (lots of onion, cucumber, edamame and rice). Didn't taste any sesame oil at all. The rice was soaked up in house sauce which I think all that stuff that was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. I've had way better at other places for the same price and with more fish. Disappointed. Will not order from here again. read more
