Hawaiian Restaurants near Buena Park, CA

“最古の !👍 美味しい!😋 Here for the Limited Time $5. Specials. Found out the specials from facebook this morning. Since they ran out of tartar sauce, I had to make my own special wasabi tartar sauce.😋“

“I loved this place when it was Tokyo teriyaki. Even when they changed their name to Poke Yaki, they still sold their original teriyaki menu in addition to the poke. Well, the days of that teriyaki chicken bowl with fried shrimp are over, and its too bad because they had the best teriyaki in town. Their poke, however, is quite excellent, but ill never go back because they gave up on a good thing for something else I dont want as much.

If youre into poke, which i am, this is a great place for that. Im just moving on.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“Was in the area and saw this poke spot was close. I stopped in and the food looked really fresh and there was plenty of people inside and it was only 11:30. I ordered the large with 5 scoops and it filled me up. If I’m back in the area I will definitely have to stop and eat again“

“This place is awesome. We placed a togo order and sat down - the owner/manager came out with a pitcher of water and cups. He went around asking customers any concerns. People eating breakfast - huge flurry pancakes and lunch
I wanted the chicken pot pie but sold out. Next time will try and come earlier.“

“Decided to try this place out . I had pre-ordered ahead of time for pick up. Ordering Platform was a breeze and easy to navigate. I got the island beef ribs and the beef bowl. I was suprised at how many ribs you get and the amount of meat on it for only 18 bucks! It was plastic wrapped down so the package wouldnt leak which was helpful cuz I hate when my food leaks. The flavor of the meat was salty and greasy and that is just how i like my meat to taste. I was impressed. I spent a total of $30 bucks for dinner for myself and my honey. Location was easy to get into and parking was a abundant .“

“For someone who adores beef, their beef bowl is da bomb, big and juicy just the way I like it. My boyfriend also had the big bros house special and I honestly don’t know which is best cause the sauce is heavenly.“

“All day breakfast and great prices!“

“Some of the best Hawaiian food I’ve had in the area. Not only is the food unreal but the amount of fish they give you for such a good price is insane. Any other poke place would give you a fraction of the food for the same price. Can’t wait to keep coming here“

“Love Love the food and service. Especially the 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.“

“Always mine and my family's favorite poke place! Although Jimmy's Poke across from the Walmart is a lot closer to us, Mr. Poke is just top notch, may I say the GOAT. Jimmy's doesn't compete with Mr. Poke's freshness, portions, and atmosphere; Jimmy's is way too expensive for just 2 bowls of poke, and has gone downhill ever since they opened. Jimmy's menu was inconsistent and had quite a few stuff out of stock last time I was there in 2025. However, Mr. Poke has really stepped up with newer decor, quality consistency, and even adding on a stamping system for rewards that'll make us loyal customers come back for more.

Although not fully packed, their patrons sure have increased compared to the first time I tried them in 2020, where there was practically no line and only 1 employee. Not a long wait, but it can get a small line even on the weekdays, so it'll depend. But it's always clean and quiet with a few tables and seats. In addition, they added another employee to the line when I visited today 6 years later, demonstrating how they've grown in reputation.

Ultimately, I'm glad to see a small business growing and getting the recognition it deserves, so I highly recommend them to keep it up! 👏“

“First time ordering Poki bowl so I wasn’t sure what to expect. There is a build your own bowl menu card that you fill out. I had some questions and the chef was very helpful, he answered all my questions and I asked for some suggestions, he was spot on. I also ordered a cooked salmon dish. He was very friendly very helpful and the food was DELICIOUS ! And so very yummy! 😋 I will be back“

“Authentic Hawaiian plate lunch!“

“I’ve been looking for a poke place and happened to find this little place. Went there once and the gentleman was very nice and helpful in the selection. My husband and I tried it at home and it was spectacular! Came back today and they were so generous in the quantity. I could say the best poke place I’ve eaten! If only I could afford eating at this place everyday, I would!“

“All of the ingredients! So fresh!“

“Plate lunches here are just as delicious as on the Hawaiian Islands. First, the garlic butter shrimp...I will dream about it. Second, the bbq chicken was tender and oh-so flavorful on its own; no need for the dipping sauce although the sauce IS super tasty. Next, the rice is topped with furikake and sesame seeds. Sadly, the spicy pork flavor is excellent, but I don't like how it's in small pieces. I referred to it as shrapnel pieces, and my BF thought that was a precise phrase for it. We were disappointed that the gochujang wings were not available on a weekend night at 6:30pm. This a food court location, so if you want to eat hot & fresh, you need to find a table two stalls down in a small inside area with about 6 tables or outside with about the same amount of tables.“

“The food was excellent! Had the Bacon Fried Rice, Island Style Fried Chicken, Hawaiian Style Mac Salad, and Ramen Cabbage Salad. The women's bathroom is clean. There are many table available to sit at. The service was friendly and quick. They serve plenty of onolicious food!“

“Delicious bbq Hawaiian style chicken with rice and macaroni salad 😋“

“What an enjoyable meal! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. The team was welcoming and attentive, making sure we had a great dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used. I also liked the balance between casual and elegant in the restaurant’s design—it felt both comfortable and stylish. This is a spot I’d recommend for families, friends, or even a solo meal. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Got the short ribs- was really good. Liked that you could supplement the Mac salad for a fresh salad. reading the review I was expecting people to be rude and I had none of that, this was authentic islanders working and prepping food and no was was rude. I would recommend eating here.“

“I didn't get the owners name, but she was out working just like anyone else would and she was so nice and inviting, which is rare these days. The food is excellent! Extremely fresh tasting and they have some unique sauces that other poke shops don't! Definitely give this place a chance if you haven't!“

“Best poke ever!!!“

“Stopped to eat here on my way home from hiking in Angeles National Forest. Best poke bowl I have had yet in California!!! So fresh and staff were so lovely. Great spot also to sit outside and eat. Will 💯 be my forever spot for poke after a long hike.“

“Food was fresh. Staff was friendly“

“A different type of takeout restaurants under one roof. No frills or amenities. Reminds me of a NYC Automat only a 21st-century interpretation with self-service menu ordering terminals, no coin or currency, smartphone updates, and access to retrieving your order from numbered/lettered lockers. Very clean, fast service, and no on premises dining. Many restaurants and foods are featured. Location is in a light industrial area and well traveled. I recommend you try this place.“

“I came after my nieces softball game at Norwalk high School. I have been looking for a good local Chinese fast food location. The quality of the food is tasty. They cut your teriyaki chicken when you order it, but I did happen to come when they were near the end of their coconut shrimp (still tasty). I am a fried rice only so I can't say how delicious the chow mien is. I would gladly recommend and if they were closer, this would be my go to spot for Chinese fast food.“

“I come here often since it's near my work. I really wanted to post this review so I can show everyone how great my bowl looked. I got a small bowl but the worker packed it so well. Chef's kiss! The service here is fast. Even if they are working on online orders, they make sure to tend to the customers in person first. Everyone is sweet too and they give you extra sauce in the side if you ask.

I've eaten inside a few times too and the ambiance is fine. Definitely recommend if you are so the area“

“The food was delicious, fresh and seasoned well at perfect temperature. The price was reasonable with the hearty portions served. The restaurant was Very clean and staff extremely friendly. My 2nd time there in a month. I'll definitely be back!“

“This poke bar is outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with excellent customer service. The staff was incredibly patient and took the time to walk us through the menu, helping us navigate the variety of proteins and sides for our poke bowls. Every bite was a delight, from start to finish. I can't recommend it enough—it's delicious, healthy, and totally satisfying!“

“5/13/2026
Stopped in with my friend to grab some dinner. Staff are very helpful and courteous, and assisted me to pick out something to eat. Customer service at an all time high. Dining area is either in use, or prepped for next use. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Will surely return many hungry times, as it is down the street from my house.
Definitely a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Aloha Hawaiian BBQ!
Thank you Cindy Luu!

“We really enjoy the Loft Hawaiian food. They closed the really big nice one in Torrance and now there are multiple small ones with simple decor. The food is still amazing but the atmosphere is a bit less than the big restaurant was. I recommend everything but my favorite dishes are. Lomi Salmon, spam musubi, island style fried chicken, lau law and of course the kalua pork. It seems like everything comes with rice and macaroni salad. 😋 so good. I don't think you can go wrong here everything is delicious.“

“Love going to this place. Great food. Almost what you get in Hawaii. I got the Kalbi ribs which comes with rice and macaroni salad. It was delicious. I’d suggest you go try this place out.“

“I was very good..love the services..can't wait to go again.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious I’ve been eating here since 2019 staff is always friendly by far the best deal on poke bowls around 3-4 dollars cheaper than any other poke spot but the lower price doesn’t mean worse food highly recommend poki naya“

“I've only eaten Poki twice and both were from here. I instantly fell in love with it. close to work so I can pick it up on my lunch hour.“

“The musubis here are pretty good. I had a Katsu one and a regular spam one and they were both actually quite delicious. It might have been cause I was starving and hadn't eaten much all day but I was left really pleased with my decision to eat here. They were also sold at a decent price!“

“sooooo good!“

“It was a very very good experience when it came to the food. The only downside is the server that day was not very energetic... Very lukewarm reception! Maybe having a bad day or don't like the job.... Over all it was a very fun and awesome experience!!! The food was sooooo good and the amount of food, oh oh oh...there was so much... they're really generous with their potions!!! I will always come back here... The place and the food were just simply..... marvelous!!! Thnx guys...“

“This location has become my favorite poke spot in OC. The staff are very friendly, they have large portions, and a wide variety of fresh toppings and proteins. The medium bowl is large enough for two meals for myself but they recently upgraded to larger bowls and I decided to splurge. A large bowl and large Thai tea came out to under 25 bucks with tip.“

“It's been a minute since I been here... food was delicious.... size portion a Lil on the small side but just Love the choices & girl at checkout a

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy parking & wheelchairs can roll right in..All one level“

“Mission Viejo Stacks - Terrible Service with an Attitude. Brought us someone else's order twice. Finally correct order showed up. Eggs were delivered first cold. Went to Check on Pancakes 5 Staff Standing Around Talking. Was told Pancakes were coming. After 10 minutes they finally arrived. Other Customers were having Service Problems Too.“

“I am from out of town i am here visiting my sister in the hospital. I was looking for a good teryaki plate for my wife and I. I read reviews and I decided to try hi bbq. The customer service was great,the price was good and the food was excellent. The ginger dressing was tangy and really good for the salad. The chicken and steak was flavorful and the macaroni salad was really good. Until my sister comes home this will be the place we will go to. If you are looking for really good food at a good price I highly recommend hi bbq. Also the staff was really nice and the place is very comfortable.“

“one of the best meals I ever had.forget about steak , chicken is delicious!!“

“I’ve been to other Ohana’s it’s always been a good meal, this place isn’t any different.I just had 4 spam musubi’s and 2 chicken musubi’s. All were delicious and filling for the lunch hour. I weil suggest “easy rice” for less rice and the chicken/spam were cooked/sauced perfectly.I’d definitely come back and try their other menu items.“

“The cashier is always so nice!! And the chili oil is amazing. I can only get the chili oil at this location always my go to for something quick! Sometimes they are very busy the line gets out the door sometimes but that just means the food is 👍🏼 definitely recommend if your in the area“

“The food itself was good, but the service could be improved. I don’t expect over-the-top friendliness, but I was made to feel uncomfortable for asking basic questions about the toppings. I was the only customer there at the time, and even after explaining I couldn’t read the labels without my glasses, the responses felt dismissive. At the end, the tip screen was positioned facing the employee, which offered no privacy and made the situation feel awkward given the interaction.“

“Love their teriyaki burger on lettuce wrap. Delicious!“

“I generally eat here a couple times a month. Food is good, bowls are a favorite in our house. And the macaroni salad slaps, I usually order a small side of it, which comes in a small deli sized container. To my surprise yesterday, I was given this (see photo), only a tiny sauce container full. I know shrinkflation is real, but really?!?! I'm hoping the employee made a mistake because paying $4 for 4 bites of macaroni salad is ridiculous.“
