“My to-go place for Poke. Reasonably priced, friendly staff and free avocado!Somehow its quality and taste different every time between 3 stars to 5 stars. However as average, salmon is always nice and tuna is frequently tasteless. But still I love here!“

“This place has been there for years, finally had a chance to try it for breakfast with friends. They have a great selection of food to make anyone happy, all tasty and made to order. I love going out for breakfast on the weekend, though my wife is hard to get out of bed early in her day off. Although after her positive comments about it, there may be hope for me yet!“

“I feel like I've found the golden egg! We are from Hawaii and a dish I been missing was meat Jun, Hana definitely hit the spot. We got take out and there was no bumps in the road, in and out. The meat Jun was tasty and not dry, it was a lot of bang for the buck. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes“
“Holy. Mole.I was getting ready to have a hearty dinner as I did some of my work. And then I took my first bite.Infinitely tender, decadent, scrumptious salmon overwhelmed all of my senses.It was perfectly mixed with avocado and spicy mayo in such a way that it made me just put all of my work away as I focused on the bowl.Damn.You don’t get many days on Earth eating a meal like this.12/10. The worker was also kind enough to let me split the bowl between separate bases.“
“Such a fantastic dining experience. Such great employees starting with great leadership. Look forward to coming here every time I'm hungry. Super fresh fish and plenty of options to choose from. Wish these owners would open another one for the ambiance.“
“The owners are so welcoming and the atmosphere is so cozy. The service was quick and done well. The sushi was so soft and it was fresh. The prices were great for the amount of food you get. Overall a very great experience and I’m definitely returning.“
“Excellent experience at this Aloha location in RSM, Ca. Plenty of parking. Decent amount of seating inside, a few chairs and tables outside (Shared with other shop, Starbucks).Friday around 1:15 pm. They close at 2 pm. No waiting in line. Plenty of seating available inside. Not busy at all.Cool atmosphere, nice and relaxed. Maybe because there wasn’t many people.Cashier was kind, quick, and polite. Funny too lol. The food was ready quick. We waited maybe 10 minutes, if that!They food was really good. Excellent taste and seasoning. Wife had the Enchiladas, I had the California Omelette (It comes with chipotle sauce on the side.)Very satisfying brunch meal!Thank you!“
“Came in for a quick poke bowl on my way to tour some homes in Mission Viejo. Staff was friendly and helpful. The poke quality was good and the available toppings were good.Avocado was extra but a must. Free miso soup.I will definitely come back when I’m in the area.“
“Poke Tiki in Laguna Niguel, CA Yay we found a yummy poke spot right by our place this weekend. We came here for lunch and it didn't disappoint. There were endless options for everything from bases to proteins to toppings and sauces! We'll definitely be back! There are multiple locations: San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine, Tustin, Orange, Costa Mesa.“

“I picked up a quick lunch here to go. I got the cooked salmon crab salad and a lot of different toppings. It was super simple and quick, there was only one person in front of me in line. The location itself is very clean, even with only one employee that I saw working there. My bowl was very tasty and I plan on coming again soon.“
“This place is amazing!! My daughter and I cannot eat out a lot because of multiple allergies and this Hispanic girl we didn't get her name but she was so kind and accommodating kept checking on us the service was top notch we really enjoyed ourselves and we will drive the 20 minutes to go to that location it is so worth it!!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free blueberry pancakes and waffles“
“So Good! First time here! Decided to try it. Everything is so fresh and yummy! i got the grilled salmon bowl with rice, kimchee, chimichurri sauce, Garlic aioli with a crab scoop on top! WOW is all i can say. Next time i will get the 1/2 n 1/2 rice and salad. the rice was so filling. The regular size is more than enough. I still have 1/2 left for dinner now. ;-)“
“My go-to is the monster bowl medium spice, with tuna and salmon. I definitely recommend adding the avocado. It's worth the Upcharge.The portions are really good, and the fish always tastes fresh. There is a good selection of toppings as well. I would definitely recommend it as a quick lunch spot.“
“This place has a very laid back and had a Hawaiian style ambiance! You walk in and order and the front and then they bring your food to you! I ordered the gluten free pancakes and did not have any issues! They were so soft and fluffy I questioned whether they were really gluten free! I also got to the turkey sausage with scrambled eggs and cheese on top! I will definitely be stopping here for breakfast whenever I am in town! The staff were friendly and understanding of my gluten allergy!“
“A solid breakfast option in Irvine The menu seemed very familiar.. but that's a good thing I love that there is a lot of Hawaiian inspiration You could choose to play it safe with breakfast classics like omelettes or eggs Benedicts or select an item that you cannot get anywhere else like their Hawaiian (coconut and macadamia nut) latte or delectable guava French toast Oh my gosh the toast was so addicting I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all without more strawberries/something fresh but it was just toooo good and crisp and satisfying My mouth is watering just by the memory of them The service was great, there's space to eat inside but I chose to enjoy the wonderful outdoor seating options (there are heaters outside as well!).“
“Came by on a weekday night about 30 minutes til closing time. The dining area was closed off for dine-in (Togo only). Had the 2-Protein choice and had the Tuna and Salmon with all of the toppings along with a splash of Yuzu Citrus. Overall it was a decent meal in terms of taste but the portion sizes were a bit small.“
“First off the fish is so fresh and delicious!!! The texture is outstanding and the taste is divine, I can’t recommend the salmon enough!!! For first time visitors that don’t know what to order I definitely recommend the poke burrito it’s so fresh and delightful with every bite sometimes I find myself ordering 2, but wishing I bought a 3rd or even a 4th! They also have baked options for those out there whom aren’t ready to make the leap into their raw menu! Poke Me is a must visit location everyone should experience at least once (a week) you will definitely not regret it!!!“
“Surprisingly good! I got the Chicken Katsu which was the best I have had in a while, it was very crispy and the chicken was not dry. I also got an additional order of a small macaroni salad which was very good. I also found the price to be reasonable for the amount of food you get. I'll be returning and would recommend anyone trying this place.“
“The guy that works in the front is so sweet and welcoming! He work diligently w/ me to make sure my bowl had exactly what I wanted in it. I wanted a few toppings on the side and he remained pleasant. I appreciate nice workers like this. Sadly to say, it seems like good service is hard to find. I definitely recommend Bay Poke!!!“

“I met a buddy for a Friday lunch and we both loved the place. Super easy to park, lots of tables on the patio or inside and a very good sized menu offering everything from traditional plate lunch to poke bowls to fish plates and more. My buddy had the kalua park plate lunch and I went for a seared aji plate. I got my order in about 8 minutes but my friend's plate never came. After another 5 minutes, we called over the manager and they admitted they just forgot the order. It took another 8 minutes and, by that time, I was done with my hot meal. Both meals were delicious and this place would have had that 5th star had the service been a bit better. My aji was panko coated and topped with a light sauce.....The fish perfectly cooked. Sides of fresh steamed fresh veggies and brown rice made for a delicious, filling and healthful lunch. The prices were surprisingly low for the quality, portions and location. No hesitations coming back again.“
“good quality fish, simple straightforward poke ingredients for a fair price and efficient service. I go here every week with my son and he won’t eat anywhere else for poke. Definitely recommend for pickup!Kid-friendliness: If your kiddo likes raw fish this place is a great fun way for them to make choices about their dinner. Good simple options which doesn’t overwhelm and works well for little (and big) tastes.“
“I came here awhile back but didn't get a chance to leave a review until now. My base was white rice, and it was light and fluffy. The protein options are decent, but they had everything I usually order from other places. I ordered my bowl of salmon and spicy tuna. Everything tasted fresh. The salmon was cut into a good chunks. The spicy tuna was flavorful, spicy with a little bit of tanginess. I LOVE the variety of toppings, it really makes poke just that much more enjoyable. For the sauce, I ordered house ponzu sauce and spicy mayo. Personally, I think the house ponzu could be richer, but it was still really good though. Everything tasted very good together! The owner was super nice and when I was there, I think there was a girl in training. You're doing good! All in all, I would definitely come back here again.“

“Visited Nalu's with my son a couple weeks ago and would highly recommend. I had been to another location before but this was my first time to the one in Laguna Niguel. Located in shopping center with multiple stores and other restaurants, Nalu's has a bit dated surfer decor but was clean and presentable. The lady taking our order was friendly. My son ordered Tutu's Bento and I ordered chicken katsu. Tutu's Bento included all chicken, steak, chicken katsu, kalua pork, mahi mahi, portuguese sausage, and steamed rice. The portion was more than generous! The chicken katsu included steamed rice, macaroni salad and coleslaw. With some delicious Hawaiian Sun juice drinks, our lunch was amazing! Definitely going to return.“
“The food was really delicious. We had the combo chicken and kalbi. The chicken was so flavorful and the kalbi was nicely grilled and did not have that heavy soy taste you sometimes get with kalbi. The vegetable spring rolls were also really good ,and having the Hawaiian Sun pineapple orange drink to wash everything down was the icing on the cake. The service was very nice as well.“
“My friend and I both chose the small bowl (2 fish). There’s plenty of food. Many choices of each category including sauce. I went with signature; friend went with volcano 2 which is medium spicy and liked it. I chose non-spicy because, with pickled ginger and seaweed salad it is already flavorful enough for me. No line at 5pm on Friday. Food is fresh.Recommended! Also plan to try this chain at other locations.Parking: Arrive around 5pm. Plenty of parking.“
“As an island boy (born in Guam) coming from an Asian background, Hawaiian food always knows how to satisfy my deepest cravings from fried katsu to BBQ Galbi Ribs. They give out generous portion sizes compared to the prices and the food always comes out piping hot. Whenever I'm craving a home cooked meal, this place has to be in my Top 5.Parking: Shares parking with the plaza so there's plenty of parking“
“Had lunch here today and did not disappoint. I ordered the seafood noodle bowl and it took a bit longer than everyone else's order but it was worth the wait. Hot, perfectly cooked noodles, tasty shrimp. Loved it. Restaurant was clean including bathroom. Staff was nice. Food served in a timely manner. I would gladly go back.“
“Umma's K-BBQ is delicious and does not disappoint! Orders (both regular and mini) are generous in size and extremely flavorful. Pricing is what you'd expect for the area (unfortunately).
