Hawaiian Restaurants near Garden Grove, CA

“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 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.“

“Shootz is sooo good. I usually get the katsu chicken sandwich and spam masubi. The portion is kinda big and the quality is consistent. One of the best places to eat at rodeo 39! The chicken sandwich is so crispy and the spam masubi has a crunch at the top which makes it so yummy.“

“very comfortable, relaxing..ill definitely be back!“

“The food is really good prices did go up and I noticed the plates are smaller! Service is good very nice helpful people! I have never had an issue with my orders. The atmosphere is calm I was able to have a conversation while enjoying my food!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“All day breakfast and great prices!“

“Best chicken dish in town! Onolicious 😋😋😋“

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

“Loved it great experience food and service was amazing👍🏽“

“Best Poke ever! Have had a lot of poke bowls but North shorePoke is number 1. Definitely recommend it!👍👌🙏“

“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.“

“Best poke around, hands down!! The food is amazing and you can tell the fish is fresh caught. The service is the best in town, super friendly and they make suggestions to make your meal and experience top notch! I've been to the original in Kahuku and the HB spot does not disappoint! Keeping the Ohana feels going!! Mahalo to the team there, you guys have me coming back multiple times every week!!“

“Absolutely amazing! Poki Poki in Huntington Beach is my new favorite spot! The food was perfect! Super fresh, flavorful, and made just how I like it. The service was so kind and welcoming, you can really tell they care about their customers.“

“The food is absolutely so fresh and delicious!“

“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.“

“Came when it wasn't busy. Shared a large poke bowl between the 2 of us which was plenty of food. We ordered salmon, tuna, albacore, and tempura shrimp as our proteins and liked that they offered seaweed salad, mango, mandarin, tamago, edamame, ginger, smelt egg as toppings.
It was a little warm when we stayed indoors to eat. They also had outdoor seating.“

“Just get the short ribs... Trust me. Worth a 25 minute one way drive.

The rest of their food is solid, though after multiple times I'd say the chicken is consistently on the dry side (sauce does help).

Service is generally friendly. Atmosphere is a bit on the light side (meaning not a lot of depth)... We always just do pickup.“

“Great food and the ladies working behind the counter are super friendly.“

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

“This restaurant is by far the best Hawaiian food I've had in OC. Keahi helped me order for catering and she was extremely patient, kind, and accommodating to my budet. Thank you so much Keahi, our CEO, VP, COO were very impressed with the taste and quality of your food. This is definitely not the last time we will be ordering from Tasty Hawaiian BBQ“

“I was able to come here twice while on business. I did enjoy all the variety of toppings to the 3 or 5 protein bowl. The rice was great for the foundation.I tried the volcano 2 and spicy mayo combo and couldn't really taste the heat at all. Probably needed more flavoring. A but bland. But the bowl size and portion for 5 protein is good. 15.99. Adding an avocado baby scoop is probably worth it at 1.50 extra to give your bowl extra texture. Enjoyed the bowl. Spice up the sauces.“

“Authentic Hawaiian plate lunch!“

“Best Poke in OC! Fresh, generous portions, great variety of toppings, delicious!“

“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!“

“Great staff and awesome drinks“

“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“

“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.“

“Best poke ever!!!“

“Visited this place for the first time the other day. We will definitely be going back sometime soon!! The staff were beyond helpful and very sweet with my daughter too. 😊“

“Place was clean. Easy to order food at the counter. Waited at the table for the order.

All the folks who came by bought take out. Did not see anyone dine in.

Food was good. Chicken katsu was crispy. House fried rice was not like the Chinese woj style fried rice. It was newly cooked rice so the fried rice came out soft. Taste and texture is different.“

“Great service, My friends and I come from Germany, and our English is so so, most of this I had to use Google Translate. However, there was a kind young lady who was able to help us in German with a name something along the lines of Jessi, and she was very helpful, especially for my friends who can't really speak English well. So I wanted to give credit, and the food was great.“

“They were out of chicken, food took forever and it was Luke warm with the same flavors I remember but now less meat. It's a huge serving of rice with a bit of meat. I have to say I was disappointed at a few things but I still ate good I wished they had a microwave I could heat it up on.“

“My husband and I are obsessed with this place! It's so delicious and fresh. Plus, the prices are great and the portions are so generous. We've tried almost everything on the menu and my favorite is the volcano chicken!! The volcano sauce is so good and you can also order a side of it“

“The food is really great, the portions are great as well. However, the issue I have with this place is that we placed the order on the phone and confirm with them that it will be ready in 10 to 15 minutes which is when we would arrive.

Then they didn't start the order until we arrived there and paid for the food. If that's their policy, they should have told us that and we would have gladly paid over the phone.“

“Great food. Bacon fried rice is excellent!“

“Let me start off by saying everyone is super friendly especially the cashier I believe his name was joe, he made me feel welcomed, was very helpful and efficient and overall great attitude has great customer service. Clean and lots of room to enjoy the food which was so good. I totally recommend this place!!!“

“Aloha Hawaiian BBQ in Santa Ana off Bristol and Memory Lane is the best Hawaiian barbecue in all of Orange County, hands down. Everytime I have been to this location the food I received was absolutely delicious and freshly made. The portions they serve are extremely generous, so much so that they have used tape to keep the lid from opening up on multiple occasions. Also, their two item combination plate can easily feed two people. Personally I have never been able to finish an entire meal by myself even when I was starving, leaving me with enough leftovers for a decent sized second meal. If you have never had Hawaiian BBQ before I strongly recommend that you try the Katsu Chicken and the beef plate. Make sure you don't forget to load up on the katsu sauce they have on their counter or you will really regret it. Since the food is freshly made to order it can take a bit for your meal to be served, so if you're short on time be sure to call it in before hand. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the macaroni salad they offer as one of their sides is a must have. Honestly, you should really consider ordering extra because the portion provided with your meal is definitely not enough to satisfy you once you get a taste of it.“

“Solid Hawaiian BBQ joint. Chicken, beef, pork, and katsu on the menu. The combo plate gives you a taste of everything and weighs like 5 pounds… perfectly cooked cabbage and macaroni salad. I got the chicken katsu which was appropriately thin and crispy with our being dry. Good curry sauce and it has potatoes!! Will definitely eat here again and work my way thru the menu. They have limited seating at the Irvine location on Barranca. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. A++“

“Absolutely hit the spot! We ordered the chicken katsu and the barbecue chicken & beef combo, and everything was fantastic. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired so well with the sauce. The BBQ chicken was tender and full of that sweet, smoky flavor, and the beef was just as delicious - super flavorful and cooked just right. Portions were generous, the food came out hot and fresh, and it really felt like comfort food done right. Definitely coming back next time we're craving Hawaiian barbecue!“
