Hawaiian Restaurants near La Jolla, CA

“Food is delicious! The views are spectacular! And service is always top-notch!“

“Amazing food! The gentleman running the place was as friendly and informative as could be. Massive amount of Chicken Katsu served with rice and macaroni salad, 2nd meal and a snack amount. Also had Spam Musubi for an appetizer, amazingly delicious as well. If you are in La Jolla, stop in and give L&L a try.“

“These are the BEST poke bowls I’ve yet to eat! The imitation crab is wonderful and the spicy tuna is just the right amount of kick! They also have octopus!! Which I was delighted by, and made sure to get plenty! I’ll definitely be going again when I get the chance!“

“Never ate Poke before coming to this place. Ended up having it 5 days in a row while I stayed in PB for a week because it was so good.

Food is so fresh and healthy. Great service, Tito and the rest of the team are awesome. Very clean.

Highly recommend the spicy garlic or 51/50 signature bowls. Mango lemonade is also fire.“

“Love coming to this local shop in Ocean Beach. My favorite is their Furikake Salmon along with some rice. Hits the spot every time!

There's no tables inside but my group always goes to Ocean Beach to take in the views and eat. A must try for the area.“

“Love the Huli Huli and the spicy Poke Bowl oh so ono. The Haupia is a out of this world too. Just perfect and delish.“

“This is the L&L location that others should strive to meet. The food was hot, appetizing to the eye and nose, and perfectly plated. The musubi were fresh and tight, and the pork was tender and flavorful. The rice was cooked to perfection-- no mush. I've had the macaroni from other locations recently, and was saddened by the gross, limp macaroni-- this macaroni was, I think, perfect to recipe and ideal. Excellent management and form, here. Thank you for opening in the Clairemont Square.“

“Food 😋Service and location absolutely wonderful!“

“Great food! The only thing negative for us are the seating. It’s always crowded every time and there’s no restroom😔.“

“Delicious Sunday brunch after a long walk on Ocean dog beach (dog breakfast too!)“

“Amazing food! Delicious every single time!“

“Love the Huli Huli and the spicy Poke Bowl oh so ono. The Haupia is a out of this world too. Just perfect and delish.“

“Awesome people, served delecious barbecues, love it.... I highly recommended. Lol“

“Small place but great food if you like the Hawaiian vibe. The Katsu's are tasty and super crispy! Reminds me of places I've been in Hawaii and Japan. They have some fun selections for beverages and dessert. It can get crazy busy but worth the wait.“

“Food was delicious and tasted fresh. Wish it came in a larger portion. I got two scoops (1 salmon and 1 tofu). Service was friendly and place was clean. I would come here again. Bathrooms could have been cleaner.

Plenty of seating available.“

“Absolutely delicious. Best Hawiian food I’ve had since being on Hawaii, 10/10. My new go-to! Good job guys!! I got the Seafood combo platter delivered, the Kalbi (short ribs) was seasoned to perfection, shrimp was fried perfectly, and the fish katsu was also seasoned perfectly, and had a nice crunch to the crust. You can really tell they put love into the food. Mac salad was very good, just added a pinch of black pepper (personal preference). Mahalo!“

“Everyone in our house used to like poke. After we found Poke Chop, we LOVE poke! They have so many options of fish and sauces and toppings. I’ve never found as big of a selection. My daughter would eat here every day if I’d let her. There aren’t many places in Hillcrest where a family of 3 can get dinner for around $30, and be totally stuffed, and not feel blah afterwards. The fish is always really fresh. The only thing that could make it better is if they added mango, mmmmm. We try to eat there as much as possible because it will be a very sad day if they close. (It’s a reality in the Hillcrest restaurant business ☹️).“

“Loved this place! The food was great. The service was amazing. The owners are super friendly.“

“Food is great, they have great quality poke.

Couple of notes: the staff today was rude, just not friendly overall 😞 very disappointing

There's still no indoor seating and the place is still set up for Covid. So plan to eat outside if you come here.“

“The food is soooo good, big portions and excellent service.“

“Good protein options. I went at a not too busy time of day so I also got to quietly sit and enjoy the meal. I only had the PYOP so I can only say that I enjoyed that, but I am sure everything else on the menu is good as well“

“I came into l &l after a nasty dirty experience at chipotle so I wasn’t expecting much from a food establishment 2 doors down and I was blown away with a my experience at L&L the place was clean very welcoming Magaly the cashier was awesome and turned my whole day around her customer service and great attitude patience and great overall vibe was beautiful my friend had to compliment her on her great service I will always come to this food establishment when I’m in this area and had to give a review so everyone could know what great service this place has and the food is amazing as well and cook is doing a great job aswell“

“I'd work here if they paid me in poke bowls. So good. Other places the fish is questionable but this place always has a great taste and seems fresh! Oh and since you got rid of your yummy fountain and now just have standard Pepsi $2+ is a little much for a little cup of a Pepsi product .... I miss the old options that were worth the money �“

“So delicious! The California roll was the best one I’ve ever had- it was made fresh and very tasty. The spam musubi was delicious as well- hot and the rice cooked perfectly. The gyoza was good as well. The prices are fair, and the service was great.“

“My friend and I went in today to try their poki and let me just say, someone who helped us out her name was Hannah I believe, kindest, most amazing soul ever. Was very sweet, amazing customer service, honestly best employee that has made my food. The poki was amazing! We loved it here.“

“Thank you for the customer appreciation day. We really enjoy your poke bowls.“

“I've been to this location and ordered online a few times. It's always been friendly, fast and fresh. I'm surprised at the bad reviews, but maybe I've just been lucky. I find The Poke Co. is one of the better, more solid options that doesn't try to nickel and dime you for ingredients and gives good portions.“

“summary: good food, great service, reasonable prices, good portions, support local businesses!

decided to come here on a whim with some friends as a post finals mini adventure and boy did we make the right choice
there was not a customer in sight but we made our way to the ordering counter and were met with the most personable server we’ve ever had at a poke place, or any restaurant for that matter! he was so nice, offering samples (which i’ve never experienced at a poke place) and suggestions, and would throw in some fun comments to our choices (often apologizing for talking too much but no worries at all😆)

onto the food, they have a few unique poke marinades here! the standouts for us were the sichuan peppercorn tuna- it was almost candied with an interesting texture, kinda like a gummy or beef tendon in the best possible way- as well as the spicy kimchi salmon and scallops! the coconut curry poke has potential, but it’s not quite there yet (maybe try searing the fish and adding ginger or something acidic/spicy?) he also really loaded up our bowls, even giving my friend an extra scoop of salmon because he thought “it didn’t look large enough” even tho he definitely gave the right amount of protein. all the toppings were included in the base price (good value for any amount of scoops) including avocado and imitation crab which usually costs extra at other places.

we had such a nice experience thanks to the server and the food was delicious- this is our new go to! thanks so much and wish all the best to this place“

“Super sweet staff during Comic-Con, it even started raining a tiny bit on the patio and they moved umbrellas over. Wish they would've participated more in the event, but it was chill. Food/drinks were amazing. Our server was awesome. Mango Lychee Margarita was delicious.“
