    Now this is a real poke bowl!
    Diana G.

    This poke bar had so many options to choose from. I loved the variety of different fishes with marinades. The employees were the nicest that I've ever encountered. They assisted us every step of the way as it was our first time. they even made suggestions, which I really liked. There was so many toppings to choose from sauces and seasonings. This bowl was by far one of the best poke bowls ever had and decently priced as well. I'm definitely coming back and becoming a regular.

    Decent poke place in Monrovia.. it's located near the Sprouts. I like being able to get a custom poke bowl and all the different options they offer. The employees are usually nice and it's more like a quick grab n go option. I also like that they carry sparkling water options. It's a great lunch spot for me when I am trying to eat healthy for the week.

    I was so hungry and this poke bowl place save my life!!! The restaurant was clean and the Poke bar look very fresh. I got 3 scoops half and half brown rice and mix green, OG spicy tuna, soy salmon, and albacore. The service was friendly. Taste very good and definitely recommend!

    This is my third time coming in and every time I come in it's a pretty good experience, it's nice, quiet and they're quick. I usually get the medium bowl with my 3 proteins and it fills me up perfectly. The guy who makes the bowls as well was very sweet and helpful and gave us his recommendation and his favorite sauces to mix. The food is always pretty good and the jasmine green tea was amazing as are all the others. Can't wait to come back again soon.

    TL;DR: good portions, good topping options, great taste. I've been coming to poke bar for a while since it's close by and local to me. It's consistently good, it never smells when I go inside unlike some other poke places I've tried. Service is always friendly, and generally I never have to wait long to be helped. They have kale noodles as well which is different. Miso soup is offered along plenty of sushi deals (Sundays). Great for a quick bite you can eat there or take it to go. Great for quick casual lunch.

    Medium Poke Bowl
    Charnie D.

    Excellent customer service and it wasn't that busy when I came by. They were generous with their scoops and were skimping out like most places. I got the medium poke bowl and the chef special #2. The poke bowl hit the spot and affordable as well.

    Casual, bright atmosphere with friendly staff. Win handled both my mom and my poke bowls and did a fantastic job. He was kind and patient. She also asked for a jasmine green tea boba, which he made well for her. She wanted it to be sweetened more, and he didn't mind making the adjustment for her. No attitude or a sense of annoyance that we sometimes get from other employees elsewhere. So this was much appreciated. The proteins and ingredients were all fresh, and there is a variety of toppings and sauces. We both had the 2 protein bowls for $12.45 each, which we thought was more than sufficient. Also, if you order a bowl, you get 50% discount on the sushi. Great deal! I had the tuna and salmon nigiri sushi, and it was pretty good. Fish tasted fresh. My only gripe is the rice was a tad hard. But not too bad!

    We order from here often! We usually get it delivered by door dash or another service. Tonight I went in to pick up a bowl for my son and the store was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Everything looked fresh and appetizing! My son ordered the large bowl with rice, octopus, spicy tuna, salmon, jalapeño, ponzu sauce, seaweed and spicy mayo. As always delicious and well prepared!! It's awesome to have such a delicious place near home where the food is always good and healthy! Plenty of parking and great location!

    Pretty solid spot for poke bowls in the Monrovia area. Their ahi and shrimp are always fresh, base and toppings are generous, and the staff are always very happy and helpful. We always go for their medium bowl which gives you a choice of 3 proteins. I get ahi, shrimp, and albacore. My hubby likes to get ahi, albacore, and salmon. The ahi and shrimp are always fresh and delicious. The albacore and salmon can be hit or miss. The base options are white rice, brown rice, kale noodles, or salad. They used to have a tortilla chip option but removed it a while back. Their white rice is our go to. I've tried a couple of their boba milk teas - taro and Thai tea - good flavors and nice boba. They now offer some sushi but I haven't tried it yet. They have some dessert options too. We had been coming here frequently (even weekly) for a while but stopped bc the quality of their fish was declining. It's my understanding that they're under new management so we gave them another try and the quality definitely improved! The restaurant is always clean - order at the counter subway style - walk down the line and tell them your bowl choices if you're building your own. They're located in a large, busy shopping center with plenty of parking.

    3 protein bowl with half brown rice and half salad
    Raven F.

    Really awesome service, the guy who made my bowl was super friendly and helpful. The options are fresh and they have great sauces. In my opinion this is the best poke place in Monrovia by far!

    2 medium bowls = $35 before tip
    Lindsay F.

    I realllllly wanted to like this place so I would have a new poke chain to use closer to home instead of driving to Glendora or West Covina for Ahi Poke or Poke Wings and Co ... unfortunately, this place missed the mark. The biggest reason for the 3/5 stars is the price vs. portion. Two medium bowls cost $35 after tax for a portion that was about 1/3 of the competitors' portions at the same price point. When I walk out with my bowls from the 2 aforementioned places, they're heavy. The takeout container and bowls the other places use were also at least twice as deep. I took an angled pic of the container from here. As you can see, it's maybe 1/2" deep. Not only were the protein scoops very small, but they totally skimp on the cheapest ingredients - the rice and lettuce. At least try to trick people into thinking they're getting more by loading up their bowls with the cheap stuff! When you ask for a mixed bowl here (which is supposed to be "1.5 servings of the base," all you get is a handful of lettuce and one perfectly portioned scoop of rice that can't be more than 1/4-1/2 cup. The topping choices are lacking here compared to other poke places, as are the fish choices. We chose the house spicy sauce and it had no real flavor. Neither did the fish. For the price of poke these days, it'll definitely be worth it to me to drive to the other places in the future. We won't be back 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!

Their katsu is always perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Service is also pretty fast compared to other restaurants in the area, which I really appreciate when the food court gets busy. As for the ambiance, it's a small counter located inside a busy food court, and there are usually limited of seats available depending on the day.

Even after arriving, I almost changed my mind about ordering because the plaza itself looked very old and rough.

The restaurant is basically takeout only, and the inside is very simple and worn down. That said, the person taking our order was extremely friendly, which made the experience much better right away. After checking Yelp, I decided to order the Indonesian fried rice, BBQ chicken, and fried chicken. The fried rice was easily the highlight. I got it spicy, and it had a nice kick that made it feel more special. I'm not sure if this is part of the Indonesian style, but there were little bits of noodles mixed into the fried rice, which made it unique and really tasty. It also had a generous amount of meat inside, and the portion was huge. It was probably one of the best fried rice dishes I've had recently. The BBQ chicken was solid too. It had that tasty Hawaiian-style plate lunch feel, came with mac salad, and was seasoned well. The fried chicken was a little mixed for me. The crispy outside was good, but the chicken itself had a slight off taste, like it didn't feel as fresh as I hoped. Not terrible, but definitely not my favorite item. Overall, Top Restaurant surprised me in a good way. The place itself is very no-frills, but the fried rice alone makes it worth coming back. I'd definitely return for that.
