“Tried this spot out yesterday off door dash, was wanting to try something new and i loved it. Their chicken is so tender and delicious I had to go back again today to see if I was just hyping it up. Today it was also delicious and so juicy !!! I’m definitely going to be coming back to this place over and over and over and over and over and over again till my sweat is 75 percent teriyaki sauce you guys Rock !!!“

“I thought the service was very friendly. The bowls were reasonably priced. There is a large selection of proteins and other items for the bowls. Also, the service is fast.“

“Very friendly staff and great poke :)“

“Casual place where you order at the counter. Nothing wrong with the atmosphere, it was very clean. Service and food were great, lots of parking. I liked that they had two options for chicken teriyaki, one with white and one with dard meat. It was a great lunch.“

“About two weeks ago, I went to some Hawaiian barbecue for the first time and I didn’t even know who Hawaii barbecue was a thing and they gave me mac & cheese and the thin steak thing and it was so good. It was amazing that on the car ride home I even ate my leftovers and they had five stars. I don’t know the name now this place I was trying to relive that experience and they had 4.7 stars so I was thinking Man they’d be really good but their menu was very bland and they didn’t even have mac & cheese or the thin steak thing. They just had rice and very basic chicken and steak and I mean it wasn’t bad and they were friendly, but in no way wasn’t special.“

“Fantastic place we found in Oceanside after the soccer game. Very clean and the food is very fresh. We got the big fish for two which was more than enough for two people. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Oceanside. Really great pokey“

“Ohana Melrose Review

Ohana Melrose is truly a hidden gem! My family and I have consistently had great experiences here, from the delicious food to the friendly and attentive service.

They offer a great variety of tasty options, and some of our family favorites include the BBQ Mix Plate and Chicken Katsu. I especially enjoy their fish tacos—they are absolutely delicious!

The only thing I would mention is that the prices have increased over time. However, given the rising cost of living and the quality of the food and service, it’s understandable.

Overall, we’ve had consistently positive experiences at Ohana Melrose. The food is delicious, the service is welcoming, and there are plenty of options for the whole family. We’ll definitely continue coming back and supporting this local restaurant. If you haven’t tried Ohana Melrose yet, I definitely recommend giving them a try!“

“5-star review... My daughter accidentally left her purse at Teri Cafe (Plaza Location) on Saturday. Since the cafe was closed Sunday due to a scheduled power outage, I stopped by Monday morning to ask whether it had been turned in. Thankfully, the purse had been given to management, and everything inside, including a substantial amount of cash, was still there. We are very grateful to the honest person who returned it and to the Teri Cafe team for keeping it safe. This experience demonstrated genuine trust, honesty, and integrity. Thank you, Teri Cafe!“

“Amazing food. My very first time having poke and it was great. We came in close to closing and the staff was very nice and gave us recommendations.
Good music and very clean. But a little small.
Miso soup was on point
10/10 will door dash tonight.“

“young lady in the front was very helpful which was awsome because it was my 1st poke experience and I was alone. I am def going back.“

“Food was excellent! Generous portions, varied menu, quick and friendly service. I'm no expert, but I did live in Hawaii for seven years and the kalua pig is exactly how I remember the luau pig tasting. Delicious! We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“Andrea is the best incredibly personal, intelligent and really made my day. I hope she gets a raise and flowers for all she does to make this place wonderful. We moved from Encinitas but now I’ll make sure to stop here thanks to her amazing customer service and just heart in general.“

“Catered my graduation party. Food was AMAZING. It was so good my guests didn't leave any for me to take home. Authentic Hawaiian food at it's best!“

“We had such a great experience with L&L Catering! I actually went into the store beforehand to try the food, and Crystal was so helpful and welcoming. She made the whole process really easy and was so kind to everyone who came in.

The food for our event was SO good, and the service was amazing. All of our guests loved everything and kept complimenting the food! It made catering for our event so easy and stress-free.

We’ll definitely be using L&L again for future events. Highly recommend them!“

“We love this place! 10/10 definitely recommend.
Either eating in or ordering pickup/delivery is always a great treat. Volcano chicken is my fave (always with extra macaroni salad!), the musubi is perfect, and the BBQ sampler is another great pick! The portions are super generous and the food is great quality.“

“Poki Poki is always the �“

“This is the place!!! We eat here couple times a week. Love the bbq and katsu chicken, it’s always perfect!! Try the gravy on the katsu, life changer. Garlic shrimp is life, Teri beef and musubi make my family happy. The Mac salad is 10/10 and the staff cares about your experience! So lucky to have this in our neighborhood!! Malasadas, Lumpia, fried chicken skin!! Let’s go to L and L 🤩🌟 eat the Kalua with cabbage, yum!!! I’ve cheesecake and Hawaiian juice all the flavors❤️“
