    Regular premium poke with purple mash and a side of Mac salad.
    Jason L.

    Amazing quality Hawaiian poke spot just soft opened at the heart of Arcadia. There was a line before they opened. Waiting about 20 mins to the order counter, then another 20 mins for the food. I expect the wait time to shorten as they use to the service. I can't wait to go back.

    Signage during their May collab with B&C Teryaki (2025)
    Hannah S.

    Learned about this pop up on instagram when they were doing a collab with a local staple last month - B&C Teryaki - so we had to check it out! Their poke is fresh with generous portions and tasty sauces! And they do this collab pretty often so keep an eye out on their Instagram page. When I visited, they were operating out of the B&C Teryaki kitchen so you order at their window. They have a couple of menus available where you order. We opted for two poke flights which came with a sampling of their three poke flavors (all Ahi Tuna) - shoyu, spicy, and ginger scallion. They also had poke bombs, poke bowls, and combos with teryaki available. I loved all the flavors - the spicy option was pretty mild - but all very delicious and flavorful. The pieces of ahi are much larger than your typical poke spots in the area. And some of the pieces were a bit tough and hard to chew but that was my only complaint. The flights come with quite a bit of rice and a small seaweed salad. Prices are pretty high but the portions are large and fish is good quality - so you get what you pay for imo. All the staff were super friendly and our poke bowls came out quickly. B&C Teryaki has some covered outside seating on picnic tables if you want to stay and eat. A solid poke pop up in the SGV - glad I caught them and will return!

    Great set up !!!

    This Poké is UNREAL!! but forreal this poke is pretty bomb stuff, they taste like the ones you can get from Hawaii. I've been following them and saw they had a pop up location at the B&C Teriyaki in Monrovia so had to give them a try. Yes they are more on the pricey side for poke. Yes the quality is was better than the poke you would get at a normal poke spot around the area. They have a very limited menu but the fish is top notch. They only serve ahi tuna but you can tell they know what they are doing. I tried the flight and I will say my favorites are garlic crunch - shoyu - spicy in that order. Super simple dish, no extra just rice, furikake, seaweed, and that good poke. For poke lovers this spot is a definite must try! Hopefully they open a permanently location in the future but still love that they go to different neighborhoods to let everyone get some authentic Hawaiian poke.

    I could not wait to leave this review! The name unreal poke makes sense because this poke was unreal so fresh so good that I went back for seconds! Unreal poke was working an event I went to and Jordan himself was there. He was personable, friendly and was even sharing background on how unreal poke came about. I recently went to Maui for my honey moon and truly felt like I was back there. I cannot wait to have more poke!

    Such FRESH poke! The flavor was authentic and I loved the texture of the poke. It was amazing in hand roll form as well. I was lucky to have them come to OC this weekend. My boyfriend ordered 2lbs of Shoyu and 2lbs of Spicy Mayo. We're hooked and will definitely order again, wherever they may be next time. Service was quick and easy. I just picked up the poke and went home. There was no seating and was located next to a car show.

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. None of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some outdoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is extremely small. It's pretty much street parking TBH. Just park in the residential area and walk on over. No big deal. Food: I ordered the poke flight which included a Kani crab salad, several scoops of rice, 3 scoops of ahi tuna (3 different flavors - spicy, shoyu, and California roll). Lowkey slightly disappointed because I was looking forward to eating the seaweed wakame salad, which was advertised on hotplate (their online ordering website). So imagine my surprise and disappointment when I received the Kani crab salad. Oh well. They should update their hotplate website if they are serving a different side. Took off one star for disappointing me. Nevertheless, it was a pretty tasty and fresh Kani crab salad. The rice was nice and hot and had some furikake sprinkled on top of it, which brought out more flavors to the hot and steaming rice. The 3 different flavors of the ahi tuna (spicy, shoyu, and California roll) were hella delicious, fresh, and tasty. I am so glad that I got the flight. I got to try all 3 different flavors. Best choice ever. Staff: The staff here are friendly, but they crank out food a bit slowly. Not the end of the world, but slightly annoying when you have a pick up time and they take 25 - 30 more minutes than expected. Then why even have a scheduled pick up time then? That's why I decided to take off one more star. Anyways, I ordered online, and I had chosen my pick up time to be 4:15PM. I had gotten there at like 4:10PM, and I received a text from them like around 4:05PM saying that my order should be ready in 15 minutes. So they needed an extra 15 minutes to get my food ready. Okay. My food should have been ready by 4:30PM. I kept waiting for a text from them saying that my order was ready. By 4:35PM, I finally walk up to the ordering counter to see what the hold up was. After several customers ahead of me received their food, the guy working the counter got to me, and I told him that I was there to pick up my food. It was finally all ready around 4:45PM. So if you come here, beware of waiting an extra 15 - 30 minutes for your food. I was not prepared for that, and I had to text my friends that I was arriving late thanks to them being a bit behind / slow. I spoke with another customer while waiting for my food, and he had been waiting for his food for about 20 minutes or so. So definitely be prepared to wait, peeps. This was my first time here, so I had no idea about the wait time. I also wasn't expecting to have to walk up to the counter to let them know that I was already there since I received a text telling me they needed more time to make my food. I was waiting for another text from them to tell me that my food was ready. Also, when you walk up to the counter, they give you like a pager/ buzzard to let you know when your food is ready. No idea they did that. Please work on updating your HotPlate website accordingly and work on cranking out the food in a timely manner.

    Ahi California Roll Poke + Spicy Ahi Poke

    I wanted to give a quick update to my review. Shortly after I posted my initial review, the owner of Unreal Poke reached out to apologize and even provided me a credit back. I was honestly surprised -- and genuinely shocked -- because outstanding customer service like that is so rare these days. Their dedication to making things right truly impressed me. Because of this experience, I'm updating my review to a much-deserved 5 stars.

    Garlic Ahi Poke Bowl
    Joyce P.

    Heard about Unreal Poke when they started posting on SGV Eats and always missed their pop ups but, I made the drive to Monrovia at BC Teriyaki where they were residing for 2 weeks. There's limited parking but down the road is residential parking. I ordered online to make sure I wasn't missing out on the poke. Most of their items were sold out so I went with the Garlic Crunch Ahi Poke. Poke was fresh and slightly marinated that didn't overpower the fish over a bed of hot sushi rice. I snagged a Braised Beef Brisket Musubi at pick up. The beef was tender and marinated with flavor - the rice absorbed all the sauce. The staff gave me curry sauce to pair with the musubi and I was surprised by the combo - slightly tangy, mild spice and salsa like? Wished there was an option to split different flavors of Poke because I was really indecisive of what to choose. Also, sides of veggies to add on to the Poke. Overall, really great poke in the area reminds me of Jus Poke in the South Bay. Hope they open a permanent location out here in SGV because there's not much authentic hawaiian spots that remind me of Hawaii. Wasn't able to get their Poke Nachos since it sold out but I will be back try that and the Poke Inari Flight!

    Awesome and authentic Hawaiian poke. Tasted good and will definitely will be back for more!

    Two surviving poke bombs, and a poke bowl after a few bites of the fish.

    This is my third time trying Unreal Poke, and apologizes for the super late delay. Every time l leave, im so full and satisfied l completely forget. First, l had the Poke Bombs, four bombs total, which had two different flavors. These did not disappoint. The seasonings, the pump pieces of fish, and the rice were perfect, (and had a few pieces falling off the bomb, onto the plate luckily). Perfect blending of a garlic seasoning on half the bombs, and the spicy was just the right amount of savory kick that was exactly what l liked. Then my musubi came. But was taken by my daughter, who told me it was the best musubi she ever had. I unfortunately did not get a bite, and I learned my lesson of ordering only one of this item, and will know for next time to add an extra order for myself. Next was the Poke Bowl. I had ordered the Ahi Shoyu flavor, and it was delicious. Rice cooked perfectly and soft, the fish was seasoned excellent and had many fat pieces. Very well proportioned of fish to rice ratio. Leaving each bite with at least a few pieces of fish. Overall, every time l return, reminds me of the reason why l drive far for the food, and keep coming back happily. Also the staff is very nice, l told them my preferred favorite flavors and they recommended me exactly what l wanted. This is definitely a must try, and after you try, you will be looking for them for an encore!

    Had been following them on IG for a while, and luckily I attended a food festival in LA, Where they were a vendor. Everything we had were soooo good. I had mentioned that I was following them, and they gave us free poke bombs (inari) to try. The poke bombs, were messy... and extraordinary delicious! All the poke was such great quality and we definitely should've ordered more.

    I found Unreal Poke on IG and on a whim because I've craved Hawaiian style poke so much. I missed the pop-up drop a couple times but I managed to order pick up when I was in town! I ordered the Poke Flight just to try it out. There's shoyu ahi, spicy ahi, and ahi california roll. I think my top favorites are the shoyu and spicy ahi. This place is pretty up there though and the flavors and freshness of the fish are amazing! Also the dish itself had such great presentation, I dug in immediately. It hit the spot for their take on Hawaiian poke! I would definitely want to try their poke bombs next.

The run ended up being super fun and memorable. You have the crowd that's camped out for the rose parade cheering you on and the regular club goers and bar hoppers just out and about. I would recommend getting down to the area before 9 pm, as they close the streets off after that time and you may not get access to the parking structure and have to park far. We got there right after they closed the street to turn into the parking structure but one of the crowd control volunteers graciously let us through. As for the run, the temperature dropped but we were still warm from running, They give you an hour to complete the run and we were able to finish in under an hour. We were required to wear a wrist band that we picked up 2 days earlier in order to get wine after we completed the run. They never checked for wristbands and you could easily walk up and grab a small plastic cup with this but they gave you literally a sip of wine and nothing more. By the time we got to our car and home it was almost 3 a.m. but I had all this energy and couldn't fall asleep right away. Great way to run into the new year and get your first workout in. One last thing, we got there early enough to catch 3 floats going down the street which was cool to see up close. Definitely recommend this to everyone it's tons of fun, you feel accomplished and you get a really cute medal and a discount at Lulu Lemon!

    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!

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!
