LoVE LOVE LOVE this poke bowl place, and they do have the cutest name "PokeMonster" hahaha! Highly recommend their salmon, spicy tuna and the volcano dressing#2 so hot~ :) read more

Three scoops of delicious fresh fish! Just opened today!!! Will be coming here for lunch!

I will start by saying this WAS my favorite poke place in North Orange County. Tonight's experience left me thinking I need to find a new Poke place in town. The hubby and I came in around 8:10 tonight. Place was dead other than one couple already eating dinner. We get greeted by a young gal and begin the bowl building. We ask for lettuce instead of rice and she is low on lettuce in the bowl in the serving area. She begins to shake the lettuce onto the bowls to make it appear like it is more than it really is, literally fluffing it...red flag number one. Of course she runs out and has to (heaven forbid) go in the back to get more. Since she had to do this she is now adding the regular amount of lettuce to both bowls. Now on to condiments, I have never seen someone literally shaking the tongs to make sure we don't get any extra cilantro, edamame, pineapple. Super small portions, normally this place is pretty generous...red flag number two. The rest of the bowl building goes as planned and we proceed to check out. She begins to place lids on the food and we say it's not needed as we are eating here. She replies, "we close at 8:30." Ok, we have 20 minutes. We continue to eat and at 8:29 she comes to our table and says, "we close in one minute." We have two bites left, maybe we need 3 minutes at most. No lie she turns the lights off in dining room. WTF?! You have to be kidding me?? We didn't finish the last bites and walked out to the glow of the Brea city street lights. Forget this place! I can go elsewhere and be treated better. read more

I was initially super stoked for a poke restaurant opening close to us but this didn't come close to Pokinometry. The flavor was just not there. My wife thought the fish wasn't as fresh tasting and another commented that they don't mix the sauce like Pokinometry. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. Portions are fair for the price. I've always been satisfied with the service until today. May 23 2pm Female worker with long Blk ponytail was not pleasant. It was my sisters first time here so she had a few question. When she asked about the sauces instead of explaining the flavors the server just said 'step 4'. Ummm ok yeah we see they are listed but what do they taste like, what is popular etc. act like you want to be there. She was short to respond to questions and rude. My sister didn't know salad was an option and wanted to add it after. She didn't want to add it! Like really wow... I had to step in and say yes she could have the salad it's step 1.... Lastly we wanted water and there were no water cups out.... So when we asked for a water cup she said 'we don't have anymore' and walked away.. Excuse me I said ... Can we have a soda cup then? She looked at her co-worker and rolled her eyes... I'll still go back but I'll avoid coming at this time bc that young lady was rude... If she isn't happy with her job I'm sure some other person would be more than happy to work in her place. read more

I'm really glad to have found this place. The food is fresh and tasty. I will definitely be a regular

My favorite poki shop so far! I love the fact that parking is a breeze. The other Anaheim competitor by the Civic Center is a parking nightmare. Poki Monster is busy enough to have quick turn over of ingredients, but no huge lines out the door like the other place. I also love the fact that they wear those cool face masks with shields to help protect the food they are serving. They have all the usual condiment and fish choices, with perhaps a few additional like cilantro, pineapple, and tomatoes. Prices are comparable, and portions are generous. What's not to love? Oh, I know. I can't go get a bowl to eat during the football game because they are closed on Sunday. I really wish they were open all weekend. read more

Not many choices in Brea when it comes to food unless you decide to hit the mall. With only 30 minutes for lunch and only just down the street where I work at I need something quick. Thank goodness for Poki Monster!!! With generous portions, great service and very fresh Poki. You got yourself a regular here! read more

I love this place! Its so fresh and delicious! I came here once today bt i think im going to visit this place very often from now on ! :)

very disappointing! They are now charging a dollar extra for a scoop of avocado! this is a standard item that has always been a part of the toppings without extra charge. There are so many other places around here that do not charge extra for avocado so I am not sure if I will be coming back for this reason. So sad. I guess it is because of a real and legit avocado shortage. read more

I rarely ever write reviews, but I tried this place for the first time and it was so disappointing. The taste was nothing exciting. This place is not one of the bests. Their fish definitely did not seem fresh, and after eating I got food poisoning later that day. And it's still going. Definitely do not recommend this place. If I could give zero stars I would read more

This place is the bomb....the food , price and people are amazing...can't ask for much more read more

Poki Monster - If I could give more then 5 stars I would....this place is the bomb.the price is right too - Poke Near Me - Brea, California

Sorry to burst the bubble and maybe it's not fair to compare PM with PokiNometry. But Pokinometry, hands down, is so much better.

They always have the freshest fish and the nicest employees! Sometimes the rice isn't fully cooked but regardless its always a solid bowl :) I usually can't even finish a small, the portions are large for only $8 read more

I got a large poki bowl ..I finished it all. it was super yummy! I loved how they let you get half salad and half rice ! I like rice but not too much perfect combination . Try this place out ! If they had boba too this would be my everyday spot ... read more

Deliciousness In a bowl! I'm so glad this place is open so close to where I live! Yummy equivalent to pokinometry in Anaheim!

Alright so this is my third time coming and I probably won't be back. I was jonesing for my poke fix so I decided to come to poki monster. There was only one person working and I had to wait while they were helping another indecisive customer. I waited patiently until it was my turn. Well it's my turn and ordered salad bowl and got the slim picking of the end of the salad she could of gotten more but nope. Then next ordering my meats. Is it me or did the scooper get smaller it was only a couple of pieces well ok I guess I dnt need to eat so much lol. But how you going to charge extra for the avocado when everyone else offers it as the standard. Yup that'll be my last visit. read more

Best poke around, fast and generous portions! Surprisingly as I have been going here the crowd has dropped off dramatically (not sure why) even tho the quality has stayed the same. read more

Excellent quality, good service, delicious food! Avocado is now free again as well! Very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food. I go here on my lunch break at least once a week! :) read more

Probably one of the few poke places i go to consistently. Decent portion size for fish and it's quite fresh. I wish they served yellowtail fish but they don't. Good service and it's clean inside. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious great meal. Highly recommend you try this out. Spicy salmon and tuna were fabulous.

Fresh food, good portions, good price. What more can you ask for at a poke place? There was a variety of different fish to pick from, my favorite being the spicy salmon. I like to get half salad and half rice as well. Know that they are closed on Sundays though. read more

My fiancée and I love this place !! Wish I was able to have it everyday. We come at least twice a week , Poke is always fresh that's one of the best qualities I look for when getting a bowl. Another is love coming to see all the friendly faces. read more

Seems like this place is going downhill. Food is not fresh. I guess the Poke trend is over.

Came back twice this week and what a change in things -some for the better while still some areas need improvement. Kudos for finally mixing the fish in a separate bowl with ponzu sauce before putting it in the bowl. The portion of things are still not consistent. On one visit, good above average amount of rice (which was appreciated) and the next visit it was like they were being stingy with their rice and toppings. Food is still delicious none the less. I appreciate the constant quality control of cleanliness. The girls working there could be a bit more friendly and smile - even if it's a fake one. Don't forget the loyalty punch card! read more

Pretty good, comparable to the ones I had in hawaii. Regular portions is perfect for a lunch and dinner. The fish itself is really tasty, I dont find that many poke shops near diamond bar that taste as good as this shop read more

Bit overpriced but you can get a lot of food in their big bowl. Good quality additions and toppings, the poke itself was flavorful. However I wish they put their sauce in before giving it to you, felt a bit messy to scoop that creaminess onto the bowl yourself. read more

Very underwhelming poke bowls. Came here twice. First time was good, but the second time, quality went down. I like the pineapple in the bowl, but everything else is standard. read more

Love the food here and the atmosphere. The workers are awesome and so helpful. Great place to get your poke fix. Try the sesame oil, ponzu sauce, spicy mayo and add a little loco sauce into your fish for the extra kick. read more

I have tried other Poke places and I keep coming back to this one. Sauce is really good and the service is always friendly.

What a great deal! So much fish for a reasonable price. My fiancé and I shared a large poki bowl and were quite full at the end. Got brown rice and salad for the base picked a variety of fish and added a couple toppings (they have a bunch!). For the small bowl you can choose 3 fish ($8.95) and for the large you can choose 5 ($11.95). You basically get to build the bowl the way you like. I think they just went a little over board on the spicy mayo so the fish kinda gets lost in the sauce. You can also ask for wasabi on the side too. read more

Was craving poke and found this joint. It was fantastic! They are generous with their fish too.

This place was OK. Pokenometry in Anaheim & Uroko by South Coast Plaza are better. The sauce wasn't that flavorful & they were very stingy with the rice. The other places mix their toppings (onions, cucumbers) with the fish which I think gives a better flavor. When mixing the sauce with the fish, the girl used the same gloved hand for 3 different bowls. Both other places I've been to always changes gloves per bowl. Price here is comparable to the other places but I didn't feel that satisfied after eating here. read more

Came here a few times to make sure I didn't come on a particularly bad or good day. i have tried all the proteins with avocado, red onion, ponzu sauce, and brown rice. Service is relatively fast and speedy. Protein portions seems to on the light side even with a large bowl and freshness was decent I suppose. The brown rice was the worst part of the meal being stale and a bit dry even with sauces. I had to really mix in the wasabi and ponzu to make it edible. Overall its not a bad place to get poki, but I still think pokinometry is best with their huge portions and better rice. read more

I was craving Hawaiian poke, as one does. My usual spot is North Shore Poke in Huntington Beach. Their fish is fresh every day and just AMAZING. So, being in Brea and knowing all of these "fast-casual" Poke spots are opening... I gave this one a try. The concept is just like Chipotle, but instead of 3 main steps -there are 5 steps, which gets confusing. The fish conceptually scares me because it's just sitting out in front of you, which I am sure is totally fine, but visually it makes me weary. The line took about 10 minutes with only about 5 people in the queue, which to me isn't awesome in the speed category. Although in the spirit of comparisons, I have waited over 10 minutes for Chipotle. So now I have this mix of fish and other crap that I don't know how to say in a plastic bowl... The taste is good enough to satisfy my craving for poke. But is it awesome? No. I wouldn't say the fresh feeling is here... The rice wasn't even very warm. I probably won't go back but I might give Pokinometry a try before I boo all of these fast-casual poke spots. **updating my review to two stars because 3 hours after eating it, I'm burping up the taste. Ew. read more

I've been here a couple times and honestly I've gotten good poke. It's done like chipotle style where you can choose rice or salad, 3 or 5 of the items, all the side options and then sauces. The last time I was here they were not tight with their poke, they gave me a good amount of each. Thank you! read more

I live right around the corner so it is convenient for a quick walk to get some poke. I first got the ponzu saice and it was a refreshing flavor. Second time i got the spicy mayo, it was good but there was too much of it. The fish is fresh and delicious, the toppings are really good. Wasnt expecting the $12 price tag for a large but i think it is not a bad deal. I will probably come here once a week read more

Decent poke with a great selection of sides. I particularly like that the fish is not marinated so that you can add what you like. I wish they had tamari or a gluten free soy sauce as an option. I kept comparing it to the poke bowl at Ola Hawaiian BBQ in Fullerton, and I have to say that I prefer Ola. The flavors are great but Poki Monster's fish portions are small. read more

Place is ok, NORTH SHORE POKI STILL MY FAV SPOT IN HB BUT POKI MONSTER Good to get my poki fix for lunch when im in the area. Id say though just missing hawaiian salt, green onions, sweet onions, and limu kohu on there menu. That be a plus PIKI MONSTER CHECK THIS PLACE OUT : This place sales limu kohu http://www.carlsbadaquafarm.com/. read more

Decent alternative to Pokinometry, but I still would choose Pokinometry. I like that the bowls are wider and you can mix your food better but unsure if you might be getting less in quantity. I also like you can get a few different types of topping, but I didn't like that it didn't have as many choices in fish. I'm a big fan of yellowtail and they don't carry that. read more
