Grindz - Aloha infused Poke — Restaurant in Monrovia

Cut them thinner and it'll come out better, not circle cut. Also don't push the rice down so much when you compress it like that it loses its fluffyness and just isn't pleasant to eat. Other than that the sauce choices and fish choices are great and if you like variety you can always come back the next time to try a different combination of...
