    Great customer service and incredible Hawaiian style shaved ice and dole whip! Felt like I was back in Oahu ! Chill vibes and great music too!

    Said bug, on chopstick.

    I wish this wasn't my first time trying Grindz, but it was and I am deeply disappointed. I opened my medium size bowl and immediately noticed a bug jumping around the center of my bowl.

    It's been a while since I've had poke. Decided to give this spot a try. They had all the fixings and sauces for you to choose from. All the seafood was super fresh. Sauces were amazing. They even had spam musubi. Staff was very friendly and fast putting together the poke bowls. Will definitely come back

    Loved this place, been coming here since opening 4 years ago under a different name. Now I'm not quite sure. Today was especially bad. Horrible customer service, all new people that didn't know what they were doing. Portion sizes also shrunk significantly. Rewards system is a scam also. Several times when I was close to a freebie my points disappear. Happened this time also when I knew I was close to a large one it said I have no points available. When I asked for two scoop of albacore, the container barely had any and the guy had scraped it up claiming it was two scoops when you can tell it can only fit as one scoop. Furthermore, asked if they had any avocado left, they didn't even check they just said no. Lastly the pineapple dole whip float. The guy hesitated when we asked if we can have one, and this is what comes out of it. A float is supposed to be in a cup, we got served this in a bowl. Went in again and asked if this was right since we can't even drink out of it. The guy remakes it in another bowl! And just hands us the pineapple juice to do it ourselves with no lid or utensils.

    This poke bowl SATISFIED my cravings! I ordered a white/brown rice bowl with salmon, tuna, and scallops mixed with their house and unagi sauce. Although the scoops of protein and toppings felt plentiful and delicious, I felt like the server was being very frugal with their rice, especially for a large bowl. I ended up finishing the rice with lots of toppings left but I can't complain about leftovers :) This Poke spot is nestled in the Vons shopping center in Monrovia (Grindz offers $4 coupons for purchases at least $16 on Vons receipts). After using the coupon, my total came out to $14ish which is a reasonable for 5 scoops of protein.

    We just moved to Monrovia not too long ago. Compared to all the poke places we have had over the course of a couple year. This place definitely smacks. Service: - they were patient with us. It takes us some time to decide what protein, what add on, and sauces we want. - they had new employees and they were all generally nice and awesome. Good job to their management team on their staff. Fish choices: - They didn't have a lot of fish options, but they do deliver on the quality of their salmon and tuna. Overall, we have came back multiple times over the course of 2 weeks as we are trying to have a healthier lifestyle. Great fish! Great Poke! Recommend all residences in Monrovia fo try this place out.

    This is my go-to spot for poke in Monrovia! The fish is always fresh and staff are super generous with the toppings/sauces. I highly recommend ordering a medium bowl- it's pretty filling. The house sauce, crunchy garlic sauce, and eel sauces are my favorite for bowls! The prices are a bit high here, but definitely worth it if you're craving a quick and fresh poke place!

    HUGE Large Bowl - 5 Scoops FOR LESS THAN $20
    Nova N.

    Large bowl (5 scoops) was less than $20!!! It is huge ok and I eat a lot! The dude that works Friday afternoon asked me a lot of questions to make sure I got the bowl of my dreams! 10 out of 10 recommend

    Minh N.

    First time trying Grindz and it did not disappoint! I got the medium bowl (3 scoops of protein) and it was huge--easily two full meals for me. I loved that they didn't charge extra for all the toppings I asked for. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. Tons of texture too from the crispy toppings, such as seaweed salad, cucumbers, edamame, and pickled ginger. Workers were also super friendly even though I felt like I asked for everything haha. If you're in the area and craving poke, this place is a solid pick.

    Food is always fresh and tasty! This place never disappoints and the portions in my opinion are huge compared to other franchises in the neighborhood. My kids love it and they have dole whip! If you can't make it to Disneyland, come here for your dole whip fix

    We got a chance to speak with the staff and we're told Grindz has been open for 7 years now. It's in the same plaza as the Vons, Mooyah and TK Cafe. I was craving poke and stumbled across this poke location. When you walk inside, the interior is very simple and clean. We were immediately greeted by staff who asked if this was our first time. He gave us a quick intro on what was available and how to order. You pick your choice & amount/type of protein. The cost varies and for extra protein, it's $2 more. There's a good variety of toppings and sauces. Everything tasted fresh and the crunchy onion gave it a nice texture. They were very good sized portions and I left in a food coma. Food ordered: one bowl with ahi tuna, albacore and shrimp + another bowl with albacore, salmon and tako. Our toppings varied, but the seaweed is always good with poke or rice. The fish tasted fresh and not too chewy. Drink: green tea with lychee (it's the Hawaiian Sun brand)

    Jasmin A.

    This place has amazing poke! The portions are great and everything tasted so fresh. The three protein I picked: spicy tuna, salmon, and shrimp. I love that you can also add the crab meat!

    Medium bowl is a good size

I was already in the area and when it was time for dinner I was walking around to see what looked good. I was so excited to see Stinkin Crawfish. It was weird though because I went to the restroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, they gave another group the table they gave me. I picked a different table, but I thought that was odd. After a quick glance at their menu I saw that they had Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30pm. It was a bit pass 6pm so I put in a Dozen Oysters (HH $15 | regular $33) while I looked at the rest of the menu. Ugh regret. These were SO BAD!! First off, the majority was not shucked, it was still attacked to the shell. I turned to the table next to me since I saw they had ordered oysters and I asked if theirs were shucked, and they said some were and some weren't. Oh goodness, so inconsistent. Then they also warned me that they got charged regular pricing instead of happy hour pricing. Also they didn't give me any utensils... so I had to go grab a plastic fork myself cause no staff was in sight and I had to scrap these oysters off their shells. First one not good. Second one, I drowned it in marinara sauce, still not good. Third one... SO BAD I SPLIT IT OUT... Fourth one, ALSO BAD. Okay I don't want to get sit... I'm over this... I just set it aside and covered it with one napkin to indicate I'm over it. Honestly they can see there were many untouched if they wanted to ask me how I liked them. Maybe I should have left but I made the mistake of ordering more food. I ordered a Raspberry Iced Tea ($3.75). Can't really mess that up but I want to point out that no refills were offered my whole time there. I did their Build Your Own with 1lb Shrimp ($17.75), 1lb Crawfish ($11 when added on to an order), with the Make it Awesome ($5.75) which is 1 corn, 2 potatoes, 3 sausages all in their Garlic Butter Mild. Okay... garlic... butter... can't go wrong right?? Well I'm wrong wrong wrong. I don't know HOW they managed to serve me the blandest cajun meal of my life. I am beyond baffled. I see the garlic. The color looks like butter. Definitely not mild, more like zero spice and zero seasonings. Even the limes they gave were dried out and bitter. My theory on the bland garlic was that it was prepped and frozen for so long it lost its' flavor. The seafood itself didn't taste fresh either. Bleh. It really needed a better sauce to mask the musky taste. Oh and the sausage was BURNT. Sigh. I think service tried to be nice. They did come and ask if I needed anything else. But honestly I didn't even want the food in front of me, let alone anything else. At the end they provided complimentary dessert to every guest. It was like a deep fried oreo with a scoop of ice cream on the day I went. The dessert was good. Just nothing else. Oh wait for it... when I got the check, I was also overcharged for the oysters, ringing up at $33 instead of the $1.50/oyster HH price being $15. The waitress was surprised and she even expressed how that happened to another customer (I know) previously and she had asked "him", who I assume is a manager or boss, to fix it in the system. Sigh... Apparently he didn't. The portions were fair, the pricing is fair... WHEN THEY RING YOU UP CORRECTLY. it just tastes bad. Low production quality. Maybe they are able to keep these prices by buying low quality product. Regardless I DEFINITELY won't be coming back. This meal, or rather the stuff that was edible, is not worth the calories. I rarely give 1 star reviews but I almost considered it... but no one was mean and I didn't get sick (because I spit up the bad oysters and stopped eating them). This is such a generous 2 stars review for the mess I had to deal with.

Well, I got the State burger with no pickles and no thousand island sauce. I added bacon for $2.00 and swapped out the potato chips for fries for $1.50. It's happy hour all day until dinner, so the burger was discounted from $16 to $12, which is a good deal. The burger tasted great. The fries were good. The freshness of the lettuce and tomato on the burger actually stood out. I never realized how often you get slightly wilting lettuce at other places until I bit into this super fresh, crisp lettuce. I know that's a weird thing to mention, but it stood out. The only complaint I actually had was the amount of meat used in the burger patty. I think it's very small. They also sell a double smash burger, and I almost felt like this was a smash burger, cause the patty is so thin. It's not, but it's a disappointingly small amount of meat. Still, if you want drinks, it's a lovely looking bar. As I said, service is great. And I will come back for the burger. It's good and cheap, though I would gladly pay five dollars more for more meat. This time the burger was all I tried, but I can recommend. Give it a try for their all afternoon happy hour and the drinks.
