Hawaiian Restaurants near Lake Forest, CA

“I am SO GLAD Ono Hawaiian came to my city ( Lake Forest)! We have L&L near us, Nalu's and Aloha BBQ, but been there, done that. Ono brings prime flavor for the Hawaiian BBQ must haves. They pack it in the flavor and is so worth the trip! And, the staff are super duper nice. We've been here three times and their excellent customer service is consistent. My family is hooked and wouldn't go anywhere else.“

“A casual quicl korean food spot.
Their pricing is reasonable, the staff is extremely friendly.
The only thing I wish they could improve is weakening the seasoning. It's a mix of several banchans, but all banchans are very strong in either sauce or seasoning.
I hope they run business successfully.“

“I use to go to RH with my family in the 70's. Atmosphere always transported us to Hawaii. They were famous for BB ribs, drinks, unique salad (with mayo dressing) and even served a bowl of crudite' with celery, salami, etc. every meal. I didn't like the modern re model, however, NOW THIS RE BUILD iS so cool! Just like the 1970's but better!! Dim lit and Hawaiian music set the mood. I was really anxious to try the ribs again. The service was GREAT appetizer excellent but, ribs, BAD! They were not edible. Hard and chewy, like beef jerky. I was so disappointed and all of our party ordered and received the same. I may try again but won't order ribs!!!“

“i am at aloha bbq great place to eat!!! :)“

“Best poke! So much variety, tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, octopus, shrimp. tamago, and tofu. Delicious add-ons and lots of toppings!“

“This is the best Hawaiian Breakfast location in Laguna Niguel!! Well done!“

“Your Hawaiian Veggie Bowl with tofu was tasty“

“We love poke bowls!!! Just had it for dinner last night. Love the addition of the combo to the menu. Service is always great!“

“Yum! Fresher than fresh ingredients!“

“One of my favorite breakfast spots.

You order your food at a counter inside the restaurant which has indoor seating but I highly recommend sitting outside. There are many tables both in the shade or out in the sun, a large water fountain, and many trees and shrubs. If you do choose to sit outside be sure to tell them when you place your order. They'll bring the food to you but they don't offer full service at the outdoor tables. They will eventually bus your table but I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you do it yourself by bringing your plates inside and putting them on the cart close to the restrooms.

I usually order the same thing every time: the Breakfast Egg Burrito with either Spam or bacon. These burritos are large and stuffed with generous quantities of deliciousness.“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“good food on the go. plenty of seafood options.“

“Best Pokee in the Irvine location. I highly recommend this place.“

“Out of every single sushi I have tried, not a single one fails to disappoint me. Their crab meat is the best and it does not get better than theirs. Such low prices for VERY high quality and savory foods. Their poki bowls are the best too. Hot warm rice mixed with fresh cold seafood goes perfect with any weather. Especially when it is so savory and refreshing. The prices are shocking for how high quality their food is. Regarding prices, this place has the best seafood out of every single seafood place I have tried in all of Orange and in general. The variety of food is good, the small place is cute, I love the decorations, they are welcoming and their lighting is pretty, it is cozy. The people are always so kind when taking your order. When there is no one, your food comes quickly, very fast for the amount of workers.“

“Great Hawaiian food from a small chain started on the island“

“Maka Poke is my go-to place for poke bowls! I only get my poke bowls from here because everything is always so fresh, delicious, and well prepared. The owner is always very kind and welcoming, and she does her best to make everything as quickly as possible. I highly recommend this place!“

“While I was impressed by the portions for the price I was not impressed with a few things. Ordered a plate via the uber eats deal and it had a lot of promise. The portions as mentioned before were enormous and made me very happy, the quality of my katsu and rice were exceptional compared to the area but a few things were out of place. For starters the musubis shouldn't force you to get 2 I could see a two musubi combo with a drink for what I paid for (7 and change) but not having a single option for people who want to have one on its own is disappointing. Another thing I didn't agree with was the price of the mini plates which I probably would've gotten had they not been 14 and change (the price of a regular plate at other places). Minis should reflect the value proposition they aim to accommodate not be the same price of plates elsewhere. Also they for whatever reason while gave a lot of sauce had little to no substance. As someone who grew up on this I need the consistency and flavor that is standard and this was watered down and less concentrated as what I remember. If they made it thicker I'd get it I'd rather have 1 good one than 2 meh ones at best. Overall while I would try again I am a little taken aback by their way of doing things.

I'm conflicted about this process refine cause some stuff is done quite well and others very wrong. For example the prices and menu are close if not more expansive than others in the area but the food execution is a mixed bag at best musubis at best are thin and very lacking in sauce and nori quality. The mix plate and katsu are of varying levels of thickness sauce lacks consistency and food is either dry or bland in my 4 visits. I will give it that their service and speed is exceptional but the food has to back it up and it does and doesn't at the same time.“

“Hi I got spam masubi , teriyaki chicken with 2 scoops rice , macaroni salad, cabbage, & a small soda to drink . It’s my favorite Hawaiian bbq place in Tustin @ the district, fresh foods, nice service, friendly workers, nice atmosphere too I’ve been going here for years now.“

“Decided to finally try Stacks after hearing that it was good for breakfast. I had the loco moco & buttermilk pancakes. The loco moco was actually pretty good & I'm a critic when it comes to hawaiian cuisine. The pancakes were average not bad but not the best I've had. I'd be back.“

“Haven’t been to this location so I was able to try it today. I got the 2 scoops for $14.50! It was fresh and lots of topping options which was nice. Only the avocado is extra.

They don’t mix the sauce with the protein, they put it on top. I tried the wasabi cilantro sauce on the side and it was good.

I enjoyed it and would go back.“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“The quality of the food was amazing, variety of toppings was good. Decent quantity of food as well, the only thing I would knock them on is it is a *little* more expensive than I would like. It is Irvine though so I can't be too mad. Overall I would make this one of my staple lunch spots.“

“Legit the best chicken katsu I’ve had. I’ve ordered it in a dozen places including Hawaii and have Never been impressed. I almost didn’t want to order it because I thought it’d be another disappointment... But it was everything I ever thought it should be. Juicy and crispy with a good sauce. The spam masubi was fire and all the fixin’s were good too. The pork wasn’t my thing and I regret not getting short ribs or bbq beef though.

The proportions seem authentic though lmao. A lotta food poly style for the price“

“I really like this place. I have taken friends here and they all like it. The rice bowl or sauce and the meats are really good. The potato macaroni salad and other sides and the sandwhiches. Basically anything on the menu i like. This older asia man i think might be the owner was there more around september or so i havent seen him the past couple times ive been there. He is very friendly and personable. One of the cashiers the past couple times is good but he needs to stop wearing earbuds unless its for a hearing reason. He seems disinterested and always asks to repeat myself. And he is playing video games on his ipad which im not attacking but no one wants to feel like theyre interrupting the workers who are meant to provide service to them and i know this from experience since i have worked in cpunter service before. But im not trying to trash him just giving feedback. Great job guys thank you, it is the best affordable place to eat near saddleback college. Much appreciated in Jesus name.“

“Everytime I get a bowl from Poke Tiki , they never disappoint, fresh tasting ingredients & well worth the price .“
