“Came here on a rushed lunch. I came another time with a PLANNED and EAGER lunch. The food taste fresh. Their teriyaki bowl is a perfect proportion. It was sweet, tangy and perfectly dressed with crunchy lettuce. Good place to sit down and eat. I'll definitely return for many lunches.“
“The food is amazing for a very reasonable price, but I think the service differs depending on who's working. The first time I came with my Latina friend and the staff person also appeared to be Latina (she was speaking Spanish to some other customers while we were there); she noticeably treated my friend preferentially and was short with me when I asked questions about the menu and how to order since it was my first time, which ended up making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Then when I tried to pay, my payment failed the first time so she told me to insert my card again, but she "helped" by tapping on the screen for me and selecting the highest tip for herself without giving me a choice. I told her that wasn't the tip option I wanted to select but she gave me a dirty look and told me I couldn't go back, so I just had to pay the amount she selected or risk making a big fuss. Then she didn't offer me a receipt, which I think is just bad service considering she overcharged me, but maybe it's because she didn't want me to find out her name (since the server name is usually printed on your receipt). When our food came out, my friend's meal was neatly packaged so that she could take it to go, but my poke bowl didn't have a lid on it even though I was also taking it to go, and I had to ask for one, which she also treated like I was being an inconvenience. It was a really off-putting experience.My second time here, I came back with a different friend and ordered the exact same thing because the food quality was great, it was just the service that sucked, so I figured I'd give the place a second chance. Thankfully my second time was a lot better. The server (Michelle, based on my receipt) was very sweet and I didn't experience any problems. So I will probably keep eating here in the future, but I would not like to encounter the rude staff person from my first time again.“
“Just a little hole in the wall , with really good food, older decor, nothing special for dining in, but really good food and fast with a friendly staff, definitely more of a lunch or dinner take out place, but really good food, did I mention the really good food?“
“As soon as I walked in with my husband the food smells so delicious & taste great too! We had to come back & get more. Great service & quick too. Most definitely recommend coming in & trying it out. Best Hawaiian bqq! Love the loco moco here.“
“Hi BBQ is a solid choice for a teriyaki plate. I especially enjoy their combo lunches with a 4 pc sushi roll and salad. Don't expect much as far as ambiance is concerned since it's a converted hamburger stand A frame building. Service is always good and food is fresh. I'll be back.“
“A hidden gem within the Puente Hills Mall..The customer service was immaculate! If your on a time budget and trying to grab something quick and comforting..THIS IS IT!! We ordered the Katsu Chicken Plate..please note this is a huge plate!! It accompanied steam rice, Mac Salad and veggies. I also ordered the BBQ chicken bowl w/rice and veggies. Food was definitely a hit!! Although the ambience was a bit dark and wish they were seen more!!“
“I work in Uptown Whittier and appreciate that this place is within walking distance! I got the chicken teriyaki bowl with pineapple and green onion and it was sooooo delicious ? The meat was flavorful and tender. Will definitely be ordering from here again!“
“What can I say, the food there is excellent. All the plates are affordable and you get a lot of food (tastes so yummy). The staff are polite, and respectful and the chefs are excellent. If you want some delicious Chinese Food or Hawaiian Grill, I highly recommend this establishment to everybody.“
“You truly can't get any better Hawaiian food in California. Yes it's slightly more expensive than others, but it's totally worth it.If you're coming with 2 or 3 people, grab their 35$ big kahuna plate, it'll more than cover everyone.“
“I recommend this place 100% new and improved very good quality food very fresh workers are very friendly good attitude and they give good recommendations for your food and feel free to ask any recommendations also very clean and organize one more time 100% recommended“

“I recently dined at a Rutts and it was a delightful experience. The friendly staff added to the overall positive atmosphere. The menu featured a variety of Hawaiian dishes. I highly recommend trying their Hawaiian Royals and Short Rib Tacos. The portions were generous, and the presentation was visually appealing. Overall, a great spot for those craving something delicious.“
“The taste is above average but not the best. The portion sizes are adequate, and I highly recommend the half and half option for first-time visitors. I tried the Kalua pork and spicy BBQ chicken, both of which were great. The owner was kind enough to leave a good impression.“
“Been her multiple times now and the food is great. I am an order online and pick up customer and the service is great and always prompt. My go to order is the spicy chicken plate or shrimp plate. Both are great. Definitely recommend. Also the dole ice cream cone is an awesome little treat.“
“This is my new favorite spot for poke. Their prices are great compared to other poke spots, considering their portions. I usually get a medium bowl that contains 3 proteins and the Hawaiian tuna is my favorite. The workers do not skimp on the protein scoops! I love the assortment of toppings and sauces. There is a good amount of tables inside for seating and the service is quick and easy.“
“Solid food and atmosphere. Wide variety of sauces to choose from, and I appreciate the available jalapenos. I got the chicken katsu and it wasn't too expensive. Only complaint is that the katsu sauce is a bit underwhelming in taste and isn't what I'm used to.“
“TK Cafe Hawaiian BBQ in uptown Monrovia provided a satisfying experience all around. It’s a small family-run counter serve operation with great Hawaiian inspired plate lunch comfort food, especially for meat lovers.The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons mall at the southwest corner of Myrtle and Foothill, so plenty of free parking. The chef and manager Ken took my order and was very friendly and helpful to recommend certain specialties on their menu.I ordered the Chicken Combo (BBQ Chicken and the crispy Katsu Chicken) and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix (BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, and substituted Teriyaki Chicken in place of Kalbi Beef). Both plates come with two scoops of white rice and a scoop of Mac Salad. See images.Their BBQ Chicken is definitely a specialty, flavorful, and both combos I received were a generous serving of the moist and flavorful chicken.I would go back the next time I’m in the mood for Hawaiian plate lunch and would recommend 5 stars compared to other local counter serves in Monrovia.“
“Ahi Hawaiian Barbecue is my go to place when it comes to Hawaiian cuisine. I really love this place. The food is always savory and flavorful. The service is fast and the employees are very friendly and accommodating. Since I am regular customers in this place, so by now I have my favorite dishes that I ordered frequently which are;- BBQ Mix Combo Plate; for meat lovers. It includes BBQ ribs, BBQ beef and BBQ chicken in addition to mac and rice - Seafood Mix includes;crispy fish, shrimps and bbq chicken in addition to rice and mac.My favorite!Everything was exquisite from service, to the quality to the quantity to the deliciousness of the food of course! I am always back, so of course I will back very soon.“
“Solid place to get some Hawaiian food for yourself or for the fam. I ordered their mini meal which was $9.99 plus tax. Solid choice-- comes w your choice of meat, some cabbage, Mac salad, and rice. Not a bad price point for what you get. What I wish it came with is a drink. That would definitely make the mini meal a great mini meal imo. All in all good place“
“I don't normally do reviews at all. Saw this place awhile back and stumbled upon it again while driving today. First time experience, the price is extremely reasonable however the proportions?!? The proportions were beyond amazing. The food and the service here was just impeccable, cooked right in front of you. Quiet area too if you wanna get away from everything.“
“This is a regular place to order lunch. I never eat in ambience is not that great but I see people eating lunch on the outside patio chairs all the time so it’s about 20 bucks for a large pokey, figured it’s healthy it’s gonna be more expensive you know it’s just a bunch of protein in brown rice and salad in a bowl. Good healthy option as compared to what else is out there during the work week.“
“Clean environment, reasonable prices, large portions (poke bowl), friendly & professional owners! Haven't even begun to describe the food, which is AMAZING! Very good quality. I've only ever gotten poke bowls but I need to try the sushi soon. 5 stars all across the board!!! BTW, they close at 8:30pm not 9pm. I came at about 8:25pm thinking they were open until 9pm and they served me with a smile!! Add this place into your take out rotation, you don't want to miss out!“
“Love Poke and this place has fresh fish and vegetables and I've been multiple times and it hasn't disappointed which says consistency - hard to find these days. It's the usual line up of choose your base: salad, brown or white rice or half/half and then proteins and add on's. Highly recommend coming out here to have a delicious poke on rice and salad.“
“The team of this Rosemead Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a clean, safe and outstanding atmosphere, which allows customers sit and eat like you’re home.As you enter, you and your family are greeted with a smile…The crew and the manager team members are energetic, and full of life, and happy to serve you.Antonia who’s a member of upper management is a great person, who will ALWAYS go out of her way, who will go above and beyond!!!“
“The first thing I want to say is that my server, Christian, was AMAZING! He went above and beyond on serving my food. He kept on asking if the portions were enough, which is something I dont get asked enough from places as such. He was super polite, gave the best answers to my questions, and always mentioned options when most others would have just given what I asked for. The food was spot on the best Poke I've ever had! Finally, the price was just right for what I was getting, and the restaurant was super well kept and clean! I HIGHLY recommend this spot, and if Christian is serving you make sure to leave a nice tip!“
“First visit and Poke experience and I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderfully fresh and satisfying the Poke Bowl at Poki Bomb was. I had no clue, honestly, what I was building as I filled out their order form--but, upon presentation it was beautiful and full of fresh ingredients. Chef was very helpful in helping my dining partner pick out a spicy sauce that would suit his choices, while mine had a normal level of heat and just the right mixture of spicy mayo and dressing for the salad. From the edamame and corn to the fresh mix of salad greens it was all my favorite parts of a delicious sushi meal heaped in a gorgeous dinner salad. Considering the rising costs of fast food, sometimes it's worth a few more dollars to treat yourself to a healthy meal that doesn't leave you feeling ashamed for splurging. In fact, I would have licked the bowl out had there been anything left--but, even with chopsticks I was able to devour every last bit of brown rice. If I were you, I would choose dine-in and enjoy the atmosphere so as to give them time to prepare your personalized meal. There was plenty of seating during our visit, an entertaining message wall and the service was very accommodating. Thank you for the awesome preparation and for the attention to detail.“
“Brother King I just want to thank you for your great service. May the Lord continue to bless you, and may He keep you. I pray the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you, may He always look your way and give you peace. May He grant you all the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. In Jesus name, Amen and Amen “
“We actually felt like we got a decent amount of food for the price. We had plenty of leftovers, which the kids finished off later that night. My wife swears this is the best macaroni salad she has ever had anywhere. The pineapple sauce was delicious as well. I wish we had this restaurant back home.“
“I ordered the House special mixed plate as it came with macaroni salad, white rice, bbq chicken on top, bbq beef on the bottom, and Katsu chicken too. Two cups of sauces: teriyaki sauce and katsu sauce. Delicious meal. Four tables outside in the front and parking in the back.“
“I really like the “Loco Moco”, I eat there about once or twice a week, always good, never had a bad experience. The gentleman behind the counter always greets me with a “hello sir” the prices are reasonable and the food is always hot….Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Very satisfied. I stopped by today after my grocery haul and I'm really happy I did. I got a small poke bowl and it was filling but light enough to watch my calories since I was able to get half greens. Everything was fresh and the gentleman who helped me was very nice. Will be stopping by here from now on to get my poke bowls.“
“This is becoming a regular spot for me. Combos are a little pricey but the food is so good. Portions are big just wish they included more Mac salad. A combo and sushi roll cost about $28 but is shareable. This is what we usually do for 2 people. Great chicken and beef!“
“Ono Hawaiian BBQ is one of my favorite food chains. With its amazing bbq and seafood options. I have always been a fan. A must try for anyone who enjoys something a little different. The macaroni is a must try. Be sure to check out the ribs and bbq chicken. It is absolutely delish!“
“Excellent place for a meal. Fresh and delicious. They have a fish or shrimp special until the day before Easter, March 29th. Maybe for Lent? Crispy, tasty fish. It does not taste greasy or heavy. It comes with salad with black sesame and edamame and a lovely delicious dressing. Maybe ginger/ carrot. I asked for my plate with no rice, all salad. $7 special for a limited time.“
“Amazing place. Even thought they gave us salmon instead of chicken it was delicious. We had to pay for the salmon but they were really nice because they gave us a discount and gave us free drinks. Overall very good food. I recommend my order.(white rice, soy beans, crab salad,green onions, and, garlic soy sauce and house sauce and the meat was salmon)“
“It'll never go wrong with Bay Poke. The freshness of the fish variety down to the salad greens and then the attention to details on the packaging. It just tells me that the crew running the business really do care about their job, which unfortunately is not something we can say everyday.“
