Hawaiian Restaurants near Hawthorne, CA

“i came in on a friday night around 7 ish on 5/8 and the cashier was so sweet and attentive. food was good but i really just wanted to write this review so the manager knows that whoever was working the front tonight is an amazing employee and has great energy.“

“Fast casual Hawaiian spot across the Lowe’s complex. Came here for dinner with my family and got two orders of the BBQ mix plates which come with kalbi, chicken, and beef. The mac salad was well mixed and they give a generous amount of rice. The meats were a teeny bit too salty but were still good. Two plates between the four of us were a good amount of food. Credit cards accepted. You order first and pay at the counter before receiving your food. There’s indoor seating available and you can also get takeout. You can call ahead to order as well. Parking lot available.“

“Best poke I've had in SoCal! Like the poke on the islands. Very fresh and delicious. Not much parking and always a line to get in, but the guys at the counter are great and the choices are limited so it moves very fast. Not much seating but take out works. Truly recommend trying it out. If you like poke you will love it!“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“furikake chicken furikake chicken furikake chicken poke and kalbi too but did I mention the FURIKAKE CHICKEN??? highly recommended“

“I love the quality and quantity of food you get. Their Portuguese Sausage is amazing and their fried rice is always delicious“

“We found this place by of chance needing to use the bathroom whilst walking around Venice and what a great find. Staff are lovely and welcoming and attended to us well. The place was very clean and the food was just right and so tasty. I will be returning when I visit again.“

“My Favorite Spot!!! Food and Bakery are Onolicious!“

“There are restaurants where the food carries the entire experience and then there are places where somebody behind the counter reminds you that hospitality is still part of the job.

Poke & More is the second kind. I’ve been here enough times now to finally have an opinion and the woman working the counter may genuinely be one of the nicest people I’ve encountered in a restaurant in a while. Warm, patient, grateful you’re there. The sort of person who somehow makes handing over a plastic bowl of raw fish and rice feel like an act of hospitality instead of a transaction.

That matters. The place itself is simple, clean and easy. Parking isn’t a battle. Nobody is trying to turn poke into theater. You order your food, they make it and you leave happier than you arrived.

The bowl is straightforward: white rice, furikake, poke. And the rice deserves credit. Properly cooked, fluffy, enough structure to hold the fish without turning into paste. Traditional Hawaiian poke doesn’t require sushi rice and honestly I prefer this approach. Let the fish do the talking.

The fish, unfortunately, is also why this stops at four stars. I usually get two kinds of poke and the seasoning is flavorful but can run a little salty. More importantly, the texture isn’t completely consistent. Some pieces have that clean, firm bite you want from raw tuna. Others can be softer, slightly mealy, occasionally a little fishier than I’d like.

Nothing has ever crossed into “don’t eat this” territory. It’s just the difference between good poke and the kind of poke that makes you stop talking for a minute. And this is good poke.

The portions are generous, the rice works, the seasoning scratches the itch and the whole thing makes for an easy, satisfying meal. There are probably flashier poke places in Los Angeles. There are certainly more expensive ones. Poke & More feels like neither.

It feels like a neighborhood place that does its job. And then that ridiculously kind service bumps the whole experience up another notch.

Four stars. The food is good. The hospitality is better. And I’ll absolutely be back.“

“Great tasting food....healthy options...large portions...friendly atmosphere.“

“If you are craving local food big or small and wanting island shave ice to top off you meal then stop by.“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“This place blew me away! The food was incredible—every bite was fresh and flavorful perfection. The service was exceptional; the staff was warm, attentive, and never overbearing. But the views were absolutely stunning—like dining in a postcard! I’ll definitely be back soon. Five stars across the board!“

“Best poke bowls in the area (and I’ve tried all of the local places)! Check them out! 🍣“

“This is a favorite of mine! Service is very friendly and accommodating. The food is plentiful and delicious! I highly recommend!!“

“Kings Hawaiian food bakery restaurant is one of my top three places to go eat I recommended highly to anyone that can drive out to the nearest Kings Hawaiian restaurant enjoy life“

“The food was authentic Hawaiian and delicious!😋 The Char Siu pork and fried rice was so tasty and my husband loved the Komai breakfast too! 👍 Even with Covid restrictions, the staff were very friendly and efficient! 💙“

“Definitely the place to be on Sunday fun day! If you miss home in Hawaii, you'll feel like you are home not just because of the ono food but the incredibly courteous and caring staff. I drove up from Orange County and, the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an ALOHA and watched the place get packed. It was a perfect place to meet up with friends! Spam & eggs with rice for breakfast hit the spot. Malasadas are fresh and warm! Then they added live musicians playing Hawaiian music and I didn't want to leave. Highly recommend and plan to return again!“

“Me encanta su Servicio, muy amables la comida deliciosa sirven rápido me gusta mucho este Restaurante se los recomiendo al 💯.“

“Good food and friendly staff“

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!“

“LOVE the poke bowl options including the gluten free/lo carb noodles!“

“Food is great. Its a little whole in the wall. Interior is average, bit the food is delicious. Katsu and beef combo great. Dumplings great. The Teri beef at other places can be kind of fatty, it was lean and clean. The appearance of the restraunt does not do the food justice. Its our new go to in Torrance, beats our old favorite Island Hut. Sauces including chicken salad dressing are great. Not fancy just good. Grab some and head to the beach.“

“Delicious food 🍱 We always go back!!“

“Food is always good. ONLY problem I have is that they charge waaaayyy to much for a small soda.“

“This FAKA makes some ono grinds! I lived Hawaii 35 years and love my plate lunches. I got the mix with garlic shrimp, karaage chocken and kalua pig! The food was top notch! I will definately return here. Great macvsalad too in a seperate container. Highly recommended! Staff was great, wait was short!“

“good food. good portions. reasonable price.“

“Beach Hut has the absolute best food!! Grew up in the South Bay and every time I fly back from Texas I stop here for a Royal Hawaiian!! So good!!“

“No complaints whatsoever. I eat a lot of poke. This shop has totally fresh fish, tasty toppings, and good sauces. I particularly liked the salmon belly, and the sesame dressing plus ponzu combination for sauces. I will be back.

Side note, if you’re considering a franchise like Sweetfin, this is a noticeable level up from that.“

“I got the torta cubana and my girlfriend got the Suiza because she’s vegetarian. We both really enjoyed our food. Great experience. Only complaint is that they ONLY ACCEPT CASH. It’s 2026…set up a Venmo/PayPal or something. The atmosphere is nothing to rave about. I was going to give them 4 stars because of the cash issue but my girlfriend really wanted me to give them 5 stars so here we are.“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“Have been coming here since high school. Great food, friendly service, and very fast. The portions are amazing. Had the half and half Katsu chicken curry and Bbq chicken with Hawaiian iced tea. Spam musubi is fresh and tastes great as well.“

“I tried this place for the first time today, and I am very happy I did.
It is a hole in the wall type place with Hawaiian style poke & other Hawaiian dishes.
I had the sweet & spicy ahi and salmon combination with rice, and it was excellent, in my opinion. Also, the service was quick and really friendly.
I plan on coming back soon!“

“There’s certain l&l’s that are great out of all the ones I’ve been to this one is third in my book.
The only thing I eat all the time is chicken katsu curry so that’s what I base my review on.
I got the regular size and as always it was a lot of food enough for two people or two meals.
My apologies no pictures or videos“

“Food is really good and fresh. The place is always clean and the employees are always good. Def returning all the time. I do wish their portion sizes included at least half a spoon more for the price. Regardless, its the cleanest spot in the area and i always return.“

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

“Maui Chicken & Poke in Gardena is hands down one of the best places to eat! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their poke is outstanding, and you can truly taste the quality. What really sets them apart is their fresh salmon and tuna. I haven’t found another place that offers fish this fresh and delicious. Every bowl is packed with high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and amazing flavors. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the restaurant is always clean. If you’re looking for fresh poke and great Hawaiian-inspired food, Maui Chicken & Poke is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“The best POKE place in town. Try the Mango Bowl......Great!!!!“

“Closest thing to Zippys with better seasoning and portions of meat I've found. While not exactly a plate lunch as it's not traditionally in the styrofoam it closely represents zippys with higher quality when compared to fare back home. U gotta navigate yourself here since it's in a food hall in a corporate park but free parking helps. Everything is reasonably priced and they have a wide selection especially with their garlic chicken and Portuguese sausage which is hard to find at most places. Solid place that I don't mind returning to just wish they had more locations in oc but I get it.“

“This was my first experience at this establishment. First, I am satisfied with the welcoming atmosphere set by the representatives. Second, the wait time for the food was short. Finally, the food was A1. In particular, I got the teriyaki BBQ chicken and dumplings. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“If you are looking for a culinary experience that borders on the orgasmic, look no further. I custom-designed a salmon poke bowl that was, quite simply, pure ecstasy. The salmon is so buttery and fresh it doesn't just eat—it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving the next bite before you’ve even finished the first. And the sauces? They absolutely light me up, sets my palate on fire in the best way possible. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep, flavorful seduction. If you want a taste that truly hits the spot, this is the only place to go.“

“This is my second time ordering from LuLuBowls (one was on postmates), but this was my first time ordering directly from the LuLuBowls website directly (honestly a much better, and streamlined experience).The food quality is superb, I would like to see a larger portion of rice (or the meat add on) in the bowls in the future. The food feels “clean”, not greasy, and is light enough to make you feel satisfied without feeling like you ate too much. The bowls I tried, were all bursting with surprising umami flavors! The ingredients were very fresh. I will certainly be coming back! Thanks LuLuBowls!“

“A fun cool place to chill and relax. Karoake is a blast. The food is off the chain and cook cesar is a master. The bartenders are cool and awesomeee. During sports is fun. And lets go raidersssssssss.......“

“Best #poke hidden inside a market. #TheBomb“

“I love the quality and quantity of food you get. Their Portuguese Sausage is amazing and their fried rice is always delicious“

“Yes so good Poke Bar delicious 😋 see you tomorrow 😜😋“

“The food was great and the staff answered all my questions about the menu to my satisfaction. Staff was friendly, clean, and presentable... The restaurant was clean. I would definitely go back.??The BBQ beef and Ramen noodles is a must have. I could actually drink the broth out of a glass..“

“Incredibly top-of-the-food-chain grade wings from Banh Mi Cafe. Lemon pepper and Thai Chilli flavored ones were Chef’s kiss. Truly a blissful experience. The Garlic Soy Sauce Spring Rolls were not deep fried, more Summer Roll. That one was a sad emoji face. But the Wings overpowered the disappointment of the spring rolls.“
