    Poke bowls

    Excuse me??? I am a professional poke eater, I've been all over the state for poke places AND THIS PLACE?? This is the most fresh and delicious poke I've had so far. They got a really nice set up for options LIKE EVEN TOMATOES??? and the staff is so welcoming. I had to get me a second bowl. 100000/100. I wanna marry whoever's the regional market owner.. please come forward

    Four Large Build Your Own (4 Scoops) $24.70

    Service leaves something to be desired. My poke bowl was missing crab salad, protein scoops, unagi sauce and masago I know the crab salad and masago are free but they're two of the things that really make it one of my favorite foods. This the protien scoops seemed at least halved the amount that they usually serve. Asked for extra sauce and there was barely any sauce, it just felt like the entire order was off. Edit: Just found some cucumber ends :)

    Average poke shop, was a bit taken back that they charge for seaweed salad when most other shops do not charge for it. Good flavors, large portions - a small bowl (2 scoops) was too much for me to finish. Service was good. Inside/outside seating available, gender neutral restroom was clean.

    We were actually looking for sushi around this mall, but we saw this Poke spot instead and decided to try it out. It's very clean inside and the 2 workers were very friendly and informative. I wanted to try something different, so I opted for their Charred Salmon Hot Bowl. The portion was just right, but of course I would've liked more haha. I liked watching them actually torch the fresh salmon to give that nice char taste and look. There's lots of mix in if you would like to create your own. This place is definitely better than the last poke chain I went to. If you're in the adel Monte Center and feel like Poke, I recommend this spot.

    My first experience with a Poke House! Fabulous clean classy environment, with all the pre prepared food options in plain view . Your choice for really healthy delicious meals, bowls. Reasonable prices, fast service and friendly staff. Minimal basic seating inside and some outdoor seating. Enjoy!

    This is already half way eaten and I have an entire meal left over, in this economy THIS SMACKS! Love it!!!

    BEST POKE IVE EVER HAD I can't believe what I just got from uber eats, I'm drooling, this is so fresh, so quality so incredibly good it's insane, this is what food should taste like, feels like nourishment for the body and soul. This could easily be my part of the meal I'd ask for as my last meal. They are so generous with the amount of fish they put on I seriously will be dreaming of this place and every time we are in the area we will be stopping by. Blown away!!!! I can't wait to show people this place when we do our weekend trips out here. Gem! It was so good I stopped midway just to write this review.

    Employees were super friendly, I thought the quality of fish was great. We took our family to Pebble Beach to watch the sunset and eat our poke. However, my son got a bowl with tako (steamed octopus), that was glowing in the dark. Never seen that before, but also hadn't looked at it in the dark. We laughed it off. He got sick the next day on the way home.

    Yuuuum this place was really good! I never had it but would always see it at the mall. Nicolas was very helpful, we had a couple questions since it was our first time there but he took he's time and explained how to order. The restaurant was really clean. They offer free cucumber water the fish was also very fresh as well as all the other condiments.

    This is a very nice and clean poke place! You have the option of taking out or dining in. Or even dining outside, since there were a few tables available for the customer's use just out the door of this poke place. We just came from a 3 day vacation break at Pismo Beach and were headed for the second part of our vacation at Portola Hotel for a couple of days, when we decided to pass by the Del Monte Shopping Center at Monterey for lunch. When I decided to have poke, my family decided to join me as well...and our stop was here at Poke House - Monterey. The food was nicely prepared. Two staff members were present to take care of a growing line of customers. And the customers were very patient, in spite of the growing line...must be a great reflection on the quality of the food here! And not to mention, the price was affordable as well! If you are in the area, you should give them a try!

    This is the best poke in the area. The fish is fresh and the portions are great. They have a lot of topping options and they add a complementary imitation crab salad scoop. I've visited a couple of times and service is always quick. Poke in general tends to run a bit pricey but I feel that at Poke House you definitely get your moneys worth.

My family and I arrived around 8:30 PM and were seated immediately. The menu was interesting, though I was a bit disappointed there was no dedicated kids menu. When we asked our waiter, he mentioned they did have two kid-friendly options available: a cheese quesadilla and chicken & rice. We ordered both of those, along with calamari from the starters and a Thai chicken rice dish. Unfortunately, none of it landed well for us. The cheese quesadilla came with nothing but melted cheese between the tortilla no sides, no sauce. The chicken from the kids menu needed salt badly, and the sauce that came with it wasn't to our liking either. The calamari dish was especially disappointing -- just 5 strips for $15, which felt like a rip-off, and the sauce was watery and not good. The chicken bowl came with plantains, chicken, beans, and rice, but the beans caught us off guard, they didn't mention this in the menu. Overall, we didn't enjoy any of the dishes, and the food-to-price ratio felt way off.

On some occasions, they will open up the front wall which provides a great environment during good weather. Our food was excellent. I had short rib ravioli, which I never had before.

Looking forward to coming back and enjoying their food again next time!

    Montrio is a restaurant struggling with the same dilemma everyone wanting to open a fine-dining…read morespot in a touristy area does. The closer you are to ground zero-Fisherman's Wharf in SF or Pikes Market, Seattle-the harder it is to remain profitable. Geographically, the density of Taco Bells and tee shirt shops increases. So, kudos to Montrio for trying to run an up-scale business as close as they are to the Wharf. Unfortunately, they fall well short of the mark. We arrive early and the place was nearly empty. To start with, we ordered the Porcini Pomme Frites ($14) as an appetizer. The fries came out limp and starchy-raw in the center. I sent them back. The replacement or refry of the original batch came back a little past GBD. They pushed the limit on the far side of doneness. And they tasted exactly and precisely like In-And-Out's awful fires. The match was amazing. For reasons known only to the Snyder family, and in spite of endless terrible reviews from food critics, I-A-O refuses to double-cook their fries. So they come out tasteless with an off-putting consistency. Not qualities anyone should try and emulate, IMHO. Now, ostrich and octopus, for example, are famously difficult to cook correctly. But fries are the polar opposite easy to do well. To screw them up twice in a slow kitchen at a $14 price point is inexcusable. I knew we were in for a rocky ride. I ordered the scallops. Yes, you guessed correctly, the kitchen screwed them up big time too. They had a light seer and were stone-cold raw in the center. The creamed corn side was excellent BTW, but not forty nine dollars good. Why didn't I send them back? Well, first, I knew they couldn't cook fries or scallops. Why would their second effort on the second course hold out any promise. Secondly, I refuse to be that guy who sends every course back, even when it should be. At a certain point my philosophy is shut up, learn your lesson, and share an honest review so that other might avoid the sad experience. My wife had the short ribs and enjoyed them. I thought they were dry, which is hard to achieve with fatty short ribs. Her mashed potatoes were okay, though under-seasoned. But if she was happy, so was I.

I wanted something to drink that wasn't sweet, so I tried their raspberry ice tea. They used a sugary syrup to flavor the tea, and that was a strike out. It was sweeter than a soda, so it went back and I swapped it out for a plain unsweetened ice tea. Then we tried the cheesy garlic bread, which we were really looking forward to. Welp, it came out with mozzarella cheese and a ton of corn. No butter. No garlic. We all looked at each other when we tried it. Ok, let's try their brussel sprouts. Those are hard to mess up - but sure enough, they managed to. They deep fried them to the point they were black and charred. There wasn't anything left of the brussel sprout itself, it was mostly crunchy charcoal. At this point, we all ordered something we assumed would be safe for our main. I got the sliders and a side salad. I had the salad but only of the sliders. The cheese on it was queso, like you use to dip chips, so it was ran all over the place and the burger was a grease ball. I won't even get into what everyone else had, but they had similar experiences. Overall, it was pretty disappointing. Maybe there are other things or other times where this place is better, but it was a swing and a miss for us.

I hope this was a one off. NOTE - The CA Roll and other fish were fine, but the hamachi had gone bad Overall, I'd go back, but focus on the hot food.
