It didn't take long for Poki Monster to catch the attention of local diners. Even though the Tustin location just opened in September, a little bit less than two miles away from Estrella, Poki Monster has already racked up 100-plus Yelp reviews. The majority of them praise the fresh, tropical seafood featured at this Hawaii-inspired restaurant.

True to its name, Poki Monster serves poki (or poke), a Hawaiian dish that showcases fresh fish. You can custom-tailor your poke bowl to fit your tastes, starting with the base. Pick from brown or white rice, salad, or chips. Next, choose a seafood. Options range from tuna and spicy tuna or salmon and spicy salmon to bay scallop, cooked shrimp, and albacore tuna. Then you select toppings, such as seaweed salad or wasabi, and decide on a mild or spicy sauce. The final step? Digging in.
