Poke House - Monterey — Restaurant in Monterey

08/09/25 Located within Del Monte Mall, Poké House is a sweet, chill dine-in (no table service) and take-out restaurant. You can order a variety of dishes, which includes making your own poké bowl, soup, and hot bowls. However, the food looked almost too good to eat.

It did not disappoint! Super clean, modern interior, and extremely friendly staff!
