Hawaiian Restaurants near Fullerton, CA

“Update: This has become one of my 2 spots that I go to for AUTHENTIC Hawaiian food. Everything here is delicious. You can watch the chefs grill your meal on an open flame. If you haven't been here, you haven't tasted real Hawaiian BBQ. Warning: the spam musubis sell out, so get there early for a chance to get one. If they sell out, I don't need to tell you how good they are.

OMG. I was recommended to try this place and they were not lying. I didn't take pictures, I was too excited to eat. I could smell the bbq before I walked in. I got the Big Kahuna family meal, its a very generous portion. I also got the beef ribs, those are a must. The only thing I didn't get to try was the spam masubi, but I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great experience. I received some food from a friend and was told about how nice the employees were from Zach, Crystal, and Ken.

I heard about how there was a company loyalty program and the food itself was 44g of protein. Will stop by here again! 👍“

“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 went to Aloha Stacks for breakfast on July 3rd. When I got there the line was out the door, but it moved pretty quickly. We ordered and got a table very easily. The food came very quickly and the wait staff was very attentive, checking to see if we needed anything several times. I had the chicken katsu and waffles and my companion had strawberry crepes and a side of kalua pork. All were delicious. It was very busy but they didn't rush us out. Parking is difficult...I parked on the street nearby.“

“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.“

“The place is small but don't let that fool you! The menu is huge. The portions are so big they use tape to help keep containers closed. The flavor.....UNMATCHED, Island Beef Ribs and Poke is what we got and both were amazing.
Poke is just as if you were in the island! Amazingly good, they sell out fast so get there early. Sure there's other Poke places around but they are so artificial and processed like store bought Poke.

The staff is so friendly! They're helpful if you have questions and is always with a smile! Love them.
10 stars out of 5“

“This spot is so much better than Jimmy's in Diamond Bar Blvd which I also tried recently. I paid $14 per bowl (three large scoops of protein, with additional $1.50 for avocado) here and got more and better quality food than I received at Jimmy's for over $17 (without avocado, two small scoops of protein).

The amount of food you get, the freshness of the fish and the ingredients - all excellent. This is one of the better poke I've had in this area and I will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The best healthy fast food out there, really tastes like a home cooked meal, and it doesn't make you feel bad afterwards. They offer plates with chicken breast (white meat). Highly recommend, and honestly this place will be my go to for take out from now on.“

“Authentic Hawaiian plate lunch!“

“sooooo good!“

“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“

“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.“

“This place has been around for a long time. Their Hawaiian plate menus are one of the best in OC. 2026 edit - Love how this restaurant is keeping the menu prices affordable yet keeping the same generous portions. From their Bacon fried rice to Spam Musubi's this restaurant's menu lineup has all the tasty Hawaiian classics. Must try!“

“The food is absolutely so fresh and delicious!“

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

“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! 👏“

“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“

“Out of every single sushi I have tried, not a single one fails to disappoint me. Their crab meat is the best and it does not get better than theirs. Such low prices for VERY high quality and savory foods. Their poki bowls are the best too. Hot warm rice mixed with fresh cold seafood goes perfect with any weather. Especially when it is so savory and refreshing. The prices are shocking for how high quality their food is. Regarding prices, this place has the best seafood out of every single seafood place I have tried in all of Orange and in general. The variety of food is good, the small place is cute, I love the decorations, they are welcoming and their lighting is pretty, it is cozy. The people are always so kind when taking your order. When there is no one, your food comes quickly, very fast for the amount of workers.“

“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!“

“You will not find many places that serve Hawaiian BBQ in this amount. When you can't close the lid unless you eat a sizeable portion to it or rubber band the container down, you know it's gonna be great. I usually get the chicken Katsu with the BBQ beef. If I didn't have a high BP I would of got double Mac salad. It is always a pleasure going to a spot that does it right.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

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

“You won’t go away unsatisfied.“

“Ordered several trays off their catering menu for a small birthday luau. The food was fresh and good quality. The portions were beyond what I was expecting. All the guests raved about the flavor and kept going back for more. Regardless of the price I highly recommend using this place for any party needs. Highly Satisfied.“

“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...“

“Friendly cool environment light Hawaiian music employees are friendly and helpful

I’m very picky about where I get my teriyaki.
My sister had brought me a bowl to try out.

I got the small bowl. Just the teriyaki chicken and rice. They give you a lot of chicken and big pieces too. They also have extra teriyaki sauce and hot sauce. Ohh and they have free fountain drinks between 2-4 pm. My order was to go. Love this spot.“

“I've been coming here for the past two years since returning to school nearby. For the price, the poke bowls are definitely worth it—the portions are generous and satisfying.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the rice isn't always consistent. Being Asian, I definitely know my rice! 😂 Other than that, it's in a convenient location, the service is usually fast, and it's been one of my go-to spots.“

“I truly enjoyed my bowl from here today. The tuna was very fresh and not at all fishy. Best Poke I have had in SoCal! I will be back.“

“This is a great place, very clean, super nice employees and delicious food. My girls and I had each a poke bowl that was not only healthy, but so flavorful and delicious! They also had the best Taro Honey Boba Tea I've ever had - we went back for more 😋 To make it even better they brought out some mochi ice cream in 3 flavors and each one was yummy! Absolutely recommend this place 👌“

“Absolutely outstanding service. We walked in right before closing, totally wiped from work, and the two women working there were so warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel like welcome guests instead of late customers. Fast, friendly, and genuinely caring service. We’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“I am so upset right now. I love this place and it’s right down the street from my house and I called like at 8:50 PM. The business hours say they close at nine and nobody answered right away when they did answer they just picked the phone up and set it down so I could hear things in the background, but nobody answered me. I wanted to order two scoops of macaroni salad, which is super easy and I could be there before nine to pick it up if they would’ve placed my order. I think that’s very unprofessional. If you close at nine, you should be picking up the phone and having the doors unlocked available for people to walk in before 9 PM. I don’t know if their doors were locked or not because I would be on my way home from work that’s why I wanted to call my order in and I would’ve been there in five minutes. Have they placed my order it would’ve been fine. I am highly disappointed.“

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

“Great customer service & delicious food💕“

“First time trying this place, was a bit of a wait for the food but seems to have been made fresh. Everything was pretty tasty, chicken Katsu was crispy and BBQ beef was tender. The spam musubis are a good quick bite. I feel this place is a good enough alternative from Ono or L&L. Will definitely come back to try more of the menu!“

“was good and tasty will go back again“
