    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.
    An M.

    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.

    Large Poke Bowl

    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.

    Medium Bowl - 3 Scoops

    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 got lucky to catch them 30 minutes before they closed at 8:00 PM. Pretty clean place with bar stool seating along the left wall. All gender restroom is in the back. Build your own poke bowl. Small (2 scoops), medium (3 scoops), and large (5 scoops) sizes ranging from $16+, $18+, 20+ per bowl, respectively. Protein consists of salmon, tuna, albacore, octopus, scallops, shrimp, tofu, etc. Toppings vary from edamame, corn, pineapple, red onion, cucumber, seaweed, sesame seeds, furikake, fried garlic, and shallots. Base comes in white sushi rice, organic brown rice, salad, or half & half. Got two large poke bowls with salmon and all the toppings. Avocados cost extra. Love the big chunks of fresh salmon! Scoops could be a tad larger. Please note extra toppings will cost extra money. Each bowl comes with a max of 3 sauces... got Dynamite, Spicy Garlic, and Sweet Unagi. They were very flavorful sauces especially when combined together. I would get a large poke bowl with all 3 of the same sauces again. Lady staff members were friendly and nice. Prices was on the higher end compared to other poke places. Nevertheless, tasty, fresh and healthy poke bowl is a win win win in my book. Po'ki Bar delivered. Highly recommend!! Btw, Po'ki Bar biz sign is not lit at night. Look for the OPEN sign that is lit.

I love the ready-to-go meals. I hate that my wallet cries every single time I walk through those doors. And yet, here I am. But here's the thing -- they never skimp on quality, and that's what keeps dragging me back like a moth to an overpriced flame. Those roast beef sandwiches are still $4.99, and at this point, that price tag alone deserves a standing ovation. In this economy? Iconic. Their uni puts every other Asian market I've tried to absolute shame -- no contest, don't even argue with me on this one. The real MVPs of the store, though? The soup noodles and sushi rolls. Genuinely elite. And don't even get me started on the drink selection -- if it came from Japan and you can't pronounce it, they probably have it. As for the meat section -- surprisingly solid. Most cuts were quality grade, which, given the prices, is the bare minimum they could do. At least they're holding up their end of the deal. Will I be back? Obviously. Do I need therapy for it? Possibly.

They forgot entirely to bring my daughter's drink, did not bring everyone's order out even close to about at the same time (it was a large party of 7) and the server misidentified my meal so I thought they got it wrong. The chicken katsu curry and sushi were ok, but the ramen my daughter got had a strange flavor (we've had a lot of ramen) and my salmon shioyaki was not made the right way. Salmon shioyaki should be salted and grilled or broiled. The cut of salmon was wrong and it didn't taste salted at all, more like a piece of teriyaki salmon with the sauce scraped off. Lesson learned is that it's called Mikomi Sushi, so definitely stick with the sushi if you dine here. The atmosphere is nice with high ceilings and beautiful lighting and everyone working there is nice, I just found the experience disappointing and regretted that I didn't go to another Japanese restaurant.
