“Food: Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken had the right balance between spice, butter, moist breaded chicken; Kimchi Butter Shrimp was also excellent; Spam Brulee was a great new take on the typical Spam Musubi with their mayo-based sauce on top Service: made-to-order service Design: interiors had the touch of island vibes with the rope lashing & surfboard sign, but is part of the larger Rodeo 39 Public Market Overall: if you want great Hawaiian inspired grindz with a little extra kick, then check out this spot and get ready to roll your eyes back with satisfaction!!!“
“The hype is real. Owner is great, staff are nice, and food is delicious. Ordered volcanoe chicken bowl, teriyaki chicken with veggies, and tropical orange chicken plate. Found a new favorite rice bowl place :) Come early though. Seating is limited and when there's a dinner rush, thats an understatement. We'll be coming back again.“
“Got the opportunity to stop in again and cure the craving for the garlic chicken that haunted my soul. The best part of anytime Hawaiian bbq is the convenience to walk from any of the convention center or Disney hotels and the prices are so reasonable for the flavor and amount of food you get to enjoy! After a long day of walking a garlic chicken plate and a spam musubi will fill the belly and make a happy soul! No joke the garlic chicken is crave worthy!!“
“I've only been here twice and each time, the: Service has been amazing! Food tastes great --fresh, well-seasoned. Portions -- rather small (but I guess it's about the quality that counts hehe), so if you're on the brink of ordering that extra something, I'd say go for it LOL“
“OMG!!!! So delicious.... My husband and I had the hungry faka plate to share and that plate could have fed 3-4 people. Everything was perfectly cooked and so yummy. The service was amazing definitely with aloha. If your in there area definitely worth checking out. It's like a food court of different food ethics. But easy to find. We definitely would return. Pictures only say so much too.“
“Wow! Dennis and his team have got it figured out. I came here with my friends to try out different items. We ordered the soy garlic glazed salmon, garlic furikake chicken, garlic butter shrimp, chicken katsu sandwich, and the kalbi beef short ribs. We also ordered sugar, ube creme filled, guava creme filled, and mango creme filled malasadas. For our refreshments, two of us had limeades while my friend and myself had the ube horchata. Everything was delicious. We were very pleased with our orders. The salmon was my favorite. There's seating inside and outside. Best for parties of 2-4. Great for take-out. Service was friendly and quick. Free parking in the plaza.“
“Great customer service & delicious, freshly made food. We tried the Spicy Ahi Tuna bowl which was bursting with flavor & spice, also tried the linguisa burrito with salsa & sour cream..delicious! Finally, we got the loco moco (double order) which was also full of flavor.“
“I was surprised at first by the menu because it is somewhat different than other poke places, but this is BY FAR the best poke I’ve ever tasted. The rice, the quality of fishes, the sauces, everything about that poke was delicious. Great service too which adds to the experience.“
“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.“
“Holy. Mole.I was getting ready to have a hearty dinner as I did some of my work. And then I took my first bite.Infinitely tender, decadent, scrumptious salmon overwhelmed all of my senses.It was perfectly mixed with avocado and spicy mayo in such a way that it made me just put all of my work away as I focused on the bowl.Damn.You don’t get many days on Earth eating a meal like this.12/10. The worker was also kind enough to let me split the bowl between separate bases.“
“This was probably my favorite bite during a recent stay in the area over the weekend. I'm pretty picky about poke especially since the concept gets so watered down when people make it on the mainland. This is legit poke and probably the best you can get in all of socal. Seriously with one bite I was hooked and would go back for more anytime. Concept is pretty standard. Pick a sauce, pick your choice of proteins, pick your base and toppings. They have two sizes small and large and currently cost $2 difference. I think the small was a perfect size for a meal l. They carry a variety of drinks options. I'm a sucker for Hawaiian sun so purchased a can of their POG flavor. The most satisfying meal of the trip. Bottom line is they did their poke right. Service is top notch and they make bowls pretty quickly. If you pass by this place take a step in and try it out for yourself.“
“The owners are so welcoming and the atmosphere is so cozy. The service was quick and done well. The sushi was so soft and it was fresh. The prices were great for the amount of food you get. Overall a very great experience and I’m definitely returning.“
“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!“
“Wonderful customizable poke place and quick service! Clean and neat store. Good portion sizes and prices. The regular size fills me up. The fishes and sauces are delicious. I recommend to add tempura flakes to your bowl, which gives you an extra “umph”/crunch. The dining out area is on the smaller side, but it doesn’t bother me.“
“I drove All the way from Chino Hills after I seen this place on Instagram. I am very picky person and I was kind worried about the food before I try. Lady on Cash register beautiful and kindly help me about my order. Nothing to talk more, this place bomb. Beef ribs super tasty. You definitely should try.“
“This place is a gem! Part of an indoor co-op. Food is bomb, fresh, and ready fast. Pricing is a little high but it is Newport so it's to be expected across the board. Service was friendly and helpful.Highly recommend them for great Hawaiian food in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa.“
“Great, friendly staff with a desire to make your bowl jus the way you like it. Fresh ingredients and clean. Pick your base of white or brown rice, spring mix or combination of two. Large chose of toppings and good selection of pure proteins. No premixed here. I love choosing my level of heat to my bowl and how it's tossed with the proteins. I recently watched a new employee learn the placement of the toppings. Who knew there was a system to adding your favorite toppings to your poke bowl? It's this kind of detail and care that I highly recommend OC Poke. Ps while they never brought back the inside seating after Covid, there are tables outside that share a lovely courtyard area.“
“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.“
“My Hawaiian friend vetted this place, so you know it's good. We tried the chicken, shrimp platter, and poke. The spicy garlic poke has a bit of a kick to it and is very flavorful. Skip the octopus side unless you're a big fan of ginger. There are only two benches outside to dine at but the setting definitely fits the island vibe that the restaurant has. Enjoy!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This is our second visit to this restaurant and we just have to order the Da “Spicy” Plate again because it has the best combination. This plate comes with a combination of their Guava Chili Pepper Chicken, Spicy Ahi Poke, Crispy Korean Chicken, Rice & Mac Salad. Both chickens are worth trying, they’re so good. The spicy ahi poke sauce is sticky, and sweet, with a little hint of spiciness! If you want to try a little bit of everything this plate has the best combination as you can try 3 different things from their menu. Definitely coming back again!“
“One of my favorite poke spots so far! I've been trying other places but I always keep coming back to this one. They have standard pricing but they give SO MUCH food! Avocado is free and they have lots of options. They always fill my plate up and I'm always so full before finishing the bowl. Their fish is fresh as well and just overall tastes really good. They don't skimp out on anything. I really recommend everyone to try them out!“
“Unsuspecting good Hawaiian food! Now is this the best? No. I ordered the fried chicken. I upgraded to the spam fried rice, obviously. The cabbage salad is sooo good. Their Mac salad is good as well. The chicken needs sauce. They have house hot sauce and teriyaki. I mixed them to create this amazing sauce. Next time I'm in the area I'll come back.“
“I happened to be here for taco Tuesday. Everything was delicious and very fresh. The service from the bartender & waitress was excellent. Thank you both for the recommendations!Next time I'm back in Huntington Beach, I'll pay you a visit.“
“This spot is super cute! The inside has an amazing Hawaii theme with board games and lots of tables.The girl taking my order was super sweet! I had not been here before but they have a lot of good meals I saw like spam bowls, musubis, and drinks. My drink was super yummy and good price for 24 oz.“
“I am a big fan of the Spicy Tuna and Spicy Salmon. Me and my crew stopped here Thursday for lunch and it was delicious. I got a Spicy Tuna bowl. Fresh made tuna with a great taste. Place is inexpensive place. Great staff and food. I will be a regular.“

“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“
“Poki roll was closed due to a power outage when we tried to eat there. Didn't get to experience the service or the food. Re. Atmosphere, it was dark due to the power outage. I finally commented because Google keeps reminding me to comment. I gave them 4 stars based on others experience.“
“First off the fish is so fresh and delicious!!! The texture is outstanding and the taste is divine, I can’t recommend the salmon enough!!! For first time visitors that don’t know what to order I definitely recommend the poke burrito it’s so fresh and delightful with every bite sometimes I find myself ordering 2, but wishing I bought a 3rd or even a 4th! They also have baked options for those out there whom aren’t ready to make the leap into their raw menu! Poke Me is a must visit location everyone should experience at least once (a week) you will definitely not regret it!!!“
“After a week of eating what was supposed to be the best food Disneyland offers and receiving the most terrible service in our life with mediocre meals, we decided to look outside the park. I am so thankful we did!Starting with my phone call to ask if we could wear our vacation clothes to dinner I was met with the kindest voice on the other end reassuring me that it was okay to wear a Disneyland Sweatshirt since we had not planned to leave the resort property.When we arrived 20 minutes early to our reservation we sat for less than 5 minutes before we were seated at our table and from the very first second we arrived the entire staff was unbelievable and I do not think words can fully describe how attentive the staff was to us.They provided a allergy menu that had so many options which was a treat for me because I am used to having only one or two options and often those consist of just salad and fruit, but not noodles, such a rare occasion.We tried an appetizer of Brussel Sprouts which if not prepared correctly can be very bitter. My husband and I looked at each other after the first bite with amazement, we'd never had brussel sprouts come even close to being as delicious as these were. I told my husband not only were these the best brussel sprouts I have had im my life but possibly thing I have ever tasted.My entire family, including my picky 8 year old was blown away by the food and service here and our server (a beautiful, petite, blonde who could pass for a disney princess) was the sweetest and most attentive we have had at our stay in L.A. or anywhere else.The entire staff was amazing and my husband was really impressed with the attentiveness and manners of the commis waiter (a young man who favors Jack Harlow). At some of the places we have been to this past week, we were left in a mess which made it difficult to enjoy after dinner conversation but not here due to their diligence of keeping things tidy for us.We were asked if we wanted dessert and I always say no because of my gluten allergy but then she said that they had a flourless souffle and we were sold! The dinner finished with our family each grabbing a spoon and enjoying this sweet treat which I will remember fondly.We were so impressed and are already talking about how we will ALWAYS stop here on our visits to LA.Just amazing treatment from everyone. Thank you all so much!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Allergy menuKid-friendliness: They have a children's menu but it may be more towards a well-developed palate unless ordering chicken strips.“
“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.“
“The Hawaiian BBQ bowl was quite tasty. Honestly, it's a great deal for the amount of food and chicken that you get. It was well sauced, I didn't have to add any additional teriyaki or BBQ sauce. The chicken was well cooked and the portions were large for the price that you pay. We only got the bowls though so I can't comment on anything else.“
