Hawaiian Restaurants near Orange, CA

“You want fresh food? Well you got it. Tikiyaki is pretty stinkin good. Everything is fire ? I’ve tried the chicken, beef, and volcano chicken. You can’t go wrong with the classics of chicken and beef. Now the volcano chicken is pretty good. It tastes like orange chicken but better. Here are some notes to take home though: the volcano chicken tastes better with fried rice that’s just my personal preference, the volcano chicken really isn’t spicy, if I had to change my volcano chicken, I would much rather opt out the white rice for veggies only. The classics are perfect the way they are. I would say 4.5/5 :)“

“The food is absolutely so fresh and delicious!“

“I worked out at this studio during my recent trip to Disneyland with my family. Coaches are awesome, studio was easy to get to, only like 15 to 20 minutes from our hotel by the park, and it was clean, and friendly. Whenever I'm back in the area I'll be working out here!“

“Wow! I'm so happy that i found this place. I ordered a regular poke bowl with three scoops of salmon. That was some of the freshest salmon I've had at a poke place in a while! The crab meat was so delicious and buttery! I can't wait to come back“

“Good food and aloha. Meal was served hot with Hawaiian seasoning. Macaroni salad is served island style and friendly staff . Highly recommend dessert too!“

“I heard about this place from some friends of mine who came here to eat. I'm hesitant about eating Hawaiian food because not a lot of people know how to make it even though they own a Hawaiian food restaurant. So I checked it out. I ordered the beef ribs, and it came with Mac salad (no potatoes) and 1 scoop rice and small spinach salad.The beef ribs came out huge but not a lot of meat on them, however very flavorful. My wife ordered the poke and you could tell that it was fresh, it was very good. They had a few different types. She had ordered the Calhi poke . A lot of times, it depends on who is cooking. We totally enjoyed it, the day we went, so do you wanna check out a Hawaiian food place?Try this place out,it may surprise you.“

“I ordered two bowls for pick up and was impressed with the quality. The bowls were filled and I felt like we got a good amount of food for the price. Nothing was laking, unlike other poki places in the city. This is a nice spot for a quick and fresh meal.“

“This place may not be the fanciest of locations, but it's clear that their food is where their love is in. My wife and I love to get the Chicken Combo and the Kalbi Short Ribs. We split the meats and enjoy plates with three different types of meat. Make sure you get the sauces too! The chicken is good, their chicken katsu is amazing! And their Kalbi ribs are fantastic as well! I love their mac salad too. Their portions are generous as well.“

“It was our first time going to Rodeo 39, and we knew we had to try out Shootz! The food did not disappoint! We got the combo shrimp and chicken with spam musubi brûlée, and it was heaven on earth! The side of kimchi butter was out of this world. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you’re in the area. We can’t wait to go back and try everything else on their menu!“

“Very good fresh and delicious Poke“

“OH EM GEE I ordered the chicken katsu and it was so good and crispy, especially with the sauce. I also normally don't like macaroni salad but this was absolutely delicious!! I would've gotten a manapua as well but they were out should definitely have gotten there earlier so I could have tried it!! The cashier was also super nice and swift with my food!!“

“This place is outstanding!! We got dinner here and didnt know what to expect. It was fire! Way better then expected. Unique and fresh take.“

“This place saved my sanity when the kids didn't like what we actually had for lunch. The kids quieted down and scarfed down the chicken katsu. The meat was white, thick, and tender. The batter was lightly covered with crispy panko. There was plenty of rice for the two little kids to share. The mac salad was not as creamy as I am used to because it had canned tuna in it, but it was nice to have something a little different from other places. The seating area was spacious, and there was a self-service soda fountain with fresh tasting water. This restaurant was the perfect find for my tired kids.“

“The most authentic Hawaii experience you can find outside of Hawaii! Not only was the storefront decorated with Hawaii themed memorabilia that made me feel at home but the service and food was A+We ordered two spam musubi ( a Hawaii classic) the Teri Mix Plate and Seafood Mix Plate.First off, everything is made to order NO food is sitting around and the food is FRESH!All the food was excellent and had amazing flavor reminding me of home! The spam musubi and Mac salad were amazing and it felt like I was still in Hawaii!I 1000% recommend this restaurant and you should definitely stop by when coming to Disneyland!P.S. We would have taken pictures but we ate the food too quickly it was that delicious!Thank you again Aunty Cheryl for all the kindness and great service!“

“my friend and I were looking for a poke place to eat and we’re so glad we found this location! you walk in and you’re greeted with the fresh smell of their seafood! I got a medium sized bowl, the staff put a lot of protein and extra scoops of toppings, it was so delicious!!! this place will be our go-to poke place when we drop by irvine again.“

“This place is amazing!! My daughter and I cannot eat out a lot because of multiple allergies and this Hispanic girl we didn't get her name but she was so kind and accommodating kept checking on us the service was top notch we really enjoyed ourselves and we will drive the 20 minutes to go to that location it is so worth it!!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free blueberry pancakes and waffles“

“Your Hawaiian Veggie Bowl with tofu was tasty“

“First time here and thought the selection was varied and fresh. Very friendly staff. I like that you build up your own selections and they are generous with the portions. The seating area is a bit drab.“

“the food was incredible!!!“

“Who knew this place existed in La Habra of all cities?! Hi BBQ is delicious, flavorful and reasonably priced. They give you huge portions and we all had leftovers to take home. The chef is also a very sweet lady. I will definitely be back again to try the other items on the menu.“

“We were searching for a new Hawaiian BBQ restaurant because our fav Huli closed sadly. The Loft is our new favorite spot and in our bi-weekly rotation. Food was delicious, cabbage salad was such a surprise and a favorite the meats were tender and flavorful. Customer service was excellent, young man who helped me was very pleasant and courteous. All around great Eatery!“

“We came in on Sunday afternoon and ordered the DHK Plate (kalua pig, laulau, rice, macaroni salad) & 6 pcs of bone-in Chicken (3 CPC flavors & 3 Garlic flavors). There are only two tables outside of the building and no restroom (the nearest one is at Target).Moving on to the food, the DHK Plate which is one of the weekly specials comes with Kalua Pig which is good but a little bit dry; the laulau is tender and fragrant.The CPC Chicken sauce is delicious, the taste is similar to soy garlic Korean fried chicken. I do love the crispy chicken breading, it’s so crunchy! We can’t tell the difference between the CPC and the garlic flavor though, it tastes very similar as the hint of garlic is very little. Out of the 6 pcs we got, 3 of them are very dry even though they are all thighs, not sure what happened but it’s probably cooked in a different batch and sadly a bit too long than the other 3 which are juicy.Follow @hangrytrails.us on Instagram for more OC Foods ?️“

“One of my two favorite poke places in OCLove this place, the food quality is always fantastic and food quality is consistent.Service is friendly and welcome.The prices are very reasonable.I have tried many bowls, they are all great, and the Traditional Shoyu is probably my favorite. Don't overlook the handrolls which are great as well. The Poke Nachos are a good change of pace.“

“Very good service, food, and seating areas... yum!“

“Poke Island is our favorite go to place for poke as they are clean, fresh, fast service. A bonus is they also have boba milk and fruit teas.“

“Wow! ?The BBQ BEEF RIBS are soooo DELICIOUS ? and the macaroni salad is OMGoodness ? Great Place and great atmosphere ?? The front workers were so polite and enthusiastic smiles and the whole Hawaiian vibe is great energy and joyful! ? I definitely recommend trying it here or any other location and tasting the Ribs and or Chicken and Teriyaki Riblets! “

“The place is small, but the food is super delicious, on this occasion but to take away, I have come to this place several times, I recommend it.The place is small, but the food is super delicious, on this occasion but for takeout, I have come to this place several times, I recommend it.“

“Chose this place without expectation after hours of play time at Kid's Empire, an indoor playground nearby. We were tired and hungry and ready to grub. Guess what? THE FOOD WAS BOMB!!!My son and I shared the CHICKEN COMBO -Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki with rice and macaroni salad. Huge portion. Chicken was cooked perfectly and Mac salad was on point! I'd order it again.My husband enjoyed his SEAFOOD PLATTER -Fried Shrimp, fried fish with rice mac salad. Huge portion too. They also had boba drinks. We tried the mango slush with Boba and was a little sweet for my liking but still good.Customer service was great! The young girl who took out order was nice and helpful and the older lady who maybe the owner was really nice and offered us water and check on us making sure we were okay.Will be back if we are in the area.“

“Service was beyond 5 stars, they were sweet helpful and fast.. I got a half salad, half rice poke bowl and it tasted fresh and delicious.“

“Just wanted to further showcase this place is amazing. The owner is super friendly and the food is the best. Love this place for real. The chicken katsu is my favorite with the golden tiger smoothieFeatures: Good spot for classic Hawaiian and good teas“

“This review was mainly for the customer service. I called the day before to place a large phone order for lunch the following day. The girl who took the phone order ((Jessica?) was amazing. Super friendly and patient. The next day the food was all ready to go and on time. Thank you!“

“The taste is above average but not the best. The portion sizes are adequate, and I highly recommend the half and half option for first-time visitors. I tried the Kalua pork and spicy BBQ chicken, both of which were great. The owner was kind enough to leave a good impression.“

“Food was fresh. Staff was friendly“

“I parked in downtown Disney parking. The restaurant only validates Disney Hotel parking lot. I have to pay full parking of $17.00.“

“A solid breakfast option in Irvine The menu seemed very familiar.. but that's a good thing I love that there is a lot of Hawaiian inspiration You could choose to play it safe with breakfast classics like omelettes or eggs Benedicts or select an item that you cannot get anywhere else like their Hawaiian (coconut and macadamia nut) latte or delectable guava French toast Oh my gosh the toast was so addicting I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all without more strawberries/something fresh but it was just toooo good and crisp and satisfying My mouth is watering just by the memory of them The service was great, there's space to eat inside but I chose to enjoy the wonderful outdoor seating options (there are heaters outside as well!).“

“This is the place to go if you are craving good poke. The owner is an ACTUAL sushi chef (with the professional uniform and everything) and he makes the sauces himself!! This is NOT your typical poke restaurant!! I was so humbled the first time I came here on a rainy night when I ordered how I normally would at any poke restaurant. The owner looked at my order and suggested that I try other sauces (which I was scared to try at the time since I never heard nor tried them before) as well as adding (many) more toppings. And I have never felt more grateful from a suggestion before because he helped me create the most delicious, packed, and flamboyant poke bowl I have ever seen. I can't even remember all of the ingredients he convinced me to add because there were so many. I WOULD TRUST HIM FOR ANY DISH I EAT NOW! It appears I'm not the only one since they have a whole wall covered with completed stamp cards (WHICH IS INSANE!!!) Anyways, check it out! It's rare to see poke restaurants like this one!“

“Warning, is going to be odd review about one item. But on wednesdays they have a 2 dollar spam musubi special. Honestly, as a struggling college student there are no words to describe how insanely helpful this has been and something i weirdly look forward too. 10 bucks gets me 5 and i’m set for lunch for a a few days. It’s small thoughtful little ways with mom and pop locations like this that add a layer to a local community. Major chains could never, devoid of warmth and any way to build a relationship with its patrons beyond an exchange of overpriced and sometimes lackluster food. Places like this provide humble and honest ways for the community to feed themselves. Will support this place as long as I can.“

“I ordered the medium size bowl which comes with your choice of base (i chose spring mix&brown rice), three protein and toppings . They have a decent selection of different kinds of fish, toppings and sauces. Overall food was pretty good with good portions and the two ladies working there were friendly and patient. The order was served quickly and I would come back again. This was my first time trying this spot and safe to say this was worth the price.“

“We doordashed Chicken Katsu, Macaroni Salad, and Spam Musubi. They're open late at night which is pretty nice! I believe this is a ghost kitchen but they're still so delicious and give generous portions! One of my go to spots to order. Chicken Katsu (5/5): Macaroni salad is creamy and delicious, pairs well with the rice and katsu. Katsu is crispy, moist, and well seasoned. We love how much katsu comes in one box! Its enough for two people to share and still have leftovers. Spam Musubi (3/5): Spam was really soft and a bit undercooked. Lots of rice compared to spam ratio.“
