I wish my pictures could do this food better justice. Everything is sooo good. From the poke bowls to the sushi, fresh teas to milk teas, Poke Bar Monrovia knows what they're doing. The staff is very sweet & super helpful with any suggestions. Everything is reasonably priced, especially for the freshness & portions. You can see, smell & taste the freshness and that's something that's pretty important for a poke/sushi bar. If you're in the area, this is definitely worth stopping by because, even if it's out of my way, this location, specifically, has become my go-to for poké & sushi. read more

This is a pretty decent poke place. We order the poke bowls or spicy tuna cut rolls and both are pretty good. I wouldn't recommend the miso soup--very bland. I tried it a few times and thought maybe I'd give it one more chance today just because I wanted soup, but was disappointed again. I did not taste any miso, more like tofu water so will just stick to the bowls or spicy tuna rolls from now on. read more

So yummy! First time trying poke and I'm definitely coming back. Very clean in here, too.

~ Best Poke Chain Location ~ The service is really welcoming and sweet! They have $5 sushi deals! I love their poke bowl. The fishes were so fresh. Inside is pretty spacious! read more

I've been here years ago and finally made my way back here. Staff was friendly and took the time to prepare our bowls the way we wanted. We ended up getting one medium bowl (3 scoops) and one small bowl (2 scoops). Prices were pretty good for what it was and overall I enjoyed my meal. The fish was pretty fresh. I tried out the spicy tuna, salmon, and scallop which were all fire. Also added on kale noodles for $1 which IMO it lacked flavor, I would just stick to the rice. I went with the recommended sauces in the list of 10 combos that they advertised and they were pretty good. Overall I enjoyed the food, it hit the spot for what it was. Friendly staff, solid prices and pretty fresh poke. Note - Seemed like they had 50% off rolls when you buy a bowl. read more

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. read more

In the monrovia area, I think this might be one of the best poke spots. The fish is fresh and their sauces are very delicious as well. When ordering online they have 2 options for spicy tuna (the og or none og) if you are looking for the scoop of spicy tuna get the OG if you want tuna pieces with spicy sauce get the regular non og spicy tuna option! I was confused at first so I thought i should share. Overall this poke place has a variety of toppings sauces and fish and this will be my new poke spot in Monrovia! read more

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. read more

Left feeling like a starving Victorian era child whose town just suffered a famine; don't be fooled by the photos, that scoop of rice is the size of a kumquat--the bowl is tiny with a depth of like 1.5 inches :-( I don't even eat a lot and I left HUNGRY I finished my kale noodles (+$1 btw) in three bites, there's no protein and carb balance; they don't put the sauce on the carb or crab salad my noodles tasted like NoTHiNG, they didn't even give more of the cheap OR paid ingredients; I refuse to believe giving 2 kumquat sized scoops of corn would put them at a deficit (I got like 6 kernels brother) read more

This is my favorite place to get poke. Clean fresh easy to understand menu. Friendly and competent staff.

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. read more

What a sad bust, I was craving for poke but sadly this did not satisfied my craving at all. By the time we arrived around 7:30pm there were minimal poke left. I was honestly very skeptical about ordering because they didn't have enough fish. The portion size is small compared to other poke restaurants. Overall, the fish itself was not fresh at all. I had to add extra ponzu sauce to mask the fishiness. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

One of my favorite poke spots! The portions are good and I like that they don't overdo the rice. Fish is fresh, and I like the sauces as well. My favorite part is that for the crabmeat side, they don't put mayo; other places do and sometimes it's way too much mayo. Delicious! read more

Poké Bar - 3 protein bowl with half brown rice and half salad - Poke Near Me - Monrovia, California

I hate giving places low ratings but unfortunately I was pretty let down by this poke spot. The portion sizes were pretty small compared to other poke spots around the area (Poke Bar Arcadia, Bay Poke). My fiancé and I ordered the salmon and it definitely did not taste fresh. The fish was super duper fishy and even with the sauce it wasn't enough to drown out the fishy flavor. I had to add some more ponzu sauce when I got home in order to finish the rest of the meal. read more

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. read more

I always receive generous portions, fresh fish, and good service. Would definitely recommend this place.

Clean, affordable, and friendly service. I would definitely come here again. They had many toppings, sauces to choose from. We were pleasantly surprised the drinks were good as well and not overly sweet (I usually ask for 50% sweetness in boba shops). We got a passion fruit tea and Thai tea. read more

I always go for their $5 sushi rolls on Sunday. It's so good for being discounted. Such a great deal. The service I had today was top notch. The server helping me had such a great attitude, his positive energy was contagious. He also went above and beyond. They were making the rolls fresh and he offered me those rather than the ones in the case. He asked if I wanted extra onions on my crunchy roll. Overall amazing service and an amazing deal. $15 for 3 rolls. Can't beat that. read more

One of the best poke spots, and happy to have them nearby. I will start by saying I always order poke bar delivery through one of the delivery apps (Uber, Postmates, DoorDash etc), so I've actually never been inside but I felt compelled to write a review since I've had poke bar over 20 times now. The fish quality is excellent. I normally get the large which comes with 4 proteins. I appreciate the great selection and typically get the ahi tuna, spicy tuna, salmon and scallops. All four proteins are 5/5 and are delicious with good serving sizes. I also appreciate the variety of toppings including crab meat, seaweed salad, and plethora of sides. I always get the house dressing in either regular or spicy, depending on how I'm feeling. Serving sizes are pretty big, as at other poke places I tend to feel hungry still after finishing my meal, but the large does a great job of filling me up. The large also comes with a little more of rice and salad as the to go box is bigger. Definitely recommend as one of the best poke places in the 626! read more

The store is located inside a plaza so there is a parking lot. Very easy to find parking. I ordered a small and chose salmon and spicy tuna for my protein. For the base they allow half/half so I did mix greens and brown rice. There are plenty of toppings to choose from. It was a beautiful bowl and tasty. Staff was also so nice. And if you check in on yelp you get free miso soup. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars if there were half points but in the end my bowl was closer to a 3 than a 4. The fish is fresh and tasty but the rest of the bowl was very bland. I ordered a brown rice bowl, with onions, pineapples, cucumber, sesame seeds and furikake along with their spicy garlic sauce and once it got delivered I had to add soy sauce at home. I also felt like the portions are smaller than expected. I ordered the 5 scoops and got 4 salmon and 1 spicy tuna. The scoops must have been tiny because I have gotten way bigger bowls for the same price at other places. I really wanted to like it but it was lacking in taste. read more

I am sad that I have to update my review within 1 month. I came in for poke bowl again. Ordered my usual small bowl with vegetable base. Sadly, my bowl was only half filled as seen in the picture. Comparing to my small bowl a month ago, the bowl I ordered today is obviously smaller. I understand inflation is bad, but I actually had to get more food else where because I was not full after I ate my poke bowl. I saw another staff preparing another customer a small bowl, and that customer's bowl has more food than mine. I hope that the potion can be more consistent. read more

Poke bowl itself was fine, but not the best. Salmon/Tuna roll was way too much rice for the small amount of fish (also the rice was kind of gummy and not very good.) Overall it's OKAY, but I probably won't eat here again. I would recommend you to go to Grindz up the street instead - they're cheaper with larger portions and tastes better. read more

I am sure the owner is different than a few years ago because the portion they give now is so little for the price paid. $16 after tax for a meidum size bowl of poke. But the box is only half filled. If to use such box as a meidum size, I expect it could be filled. I mean at least to fill more salad underneath?? The taste good but just very disappointed with the portion. I understand there's an inflation but this is way too expensive for a poke bowl. I hope they will make changes. read more
