Hawaiian Restaurants near Lakewood, CA

“We really enjoy the Loft Hawaiian food. They closed the really big nice one in Torrance and now there are multiple small ones with simple decor. The food is still amazing but the atmosphere is a bit less than the big restaurant was. I recommend everything but my favorite dishes are. Lomi Salmon, spam musubi, island style fried chicken, lau law and of course the kalua pork. It seems like everything comes with rice and macaroni salad. 😋 so good. I don't think you can go wrong here everything is delicious.“

“If you’re craving a taste of the islands, Ohana BBQ is the place to go! This Hawaiian barbecue gem delivers an explosion of flavors that transport you straight to a sunny beach in Hawaii. From the moment you walk in, the laid-back, aloha vibe wraps you in warmth, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
The menu is a love letter to Hawaiian cuisine. Their kalua pork is an absolute standout—smoky, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with just the right balance of savory and subtle sweetness. Pair it with a side of creamy mac salad, and you’ve got a plate lunch that hits all the right spots. The teriyaki chicken is another winner, perfectly grilled with a glossy, caramelized sauce that’s equal parts tangy and sweet. Don’t sleep on the gyozas either.
What sets this place apart is the attention to detail. The portions are generous, the rice is always perfectly sticky, and every dish feels like it’s made with love. The tropical decor and island music playing softly in the background add to the experience, making it feel like a mini-vacation with every visit. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Ghana BBQ is a must-visit for authentic Hawaiian barbecue that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next trip back. Mahalo for the ono grinds!“

“Shootz is sooo good. I usually get the katsu chicken sandwich and spam masubi. The portion is kinda big and the quality is consistent. One of the best places to eat at rodeo 39! The chicken sandwich is so crispy and the spam masubi has a crunch at the top which makes it so yummy.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“Just got back from Waikiki. Service was great. Food was o.k. did the chicken katsu, and the 3 meat plate. There was gristle, bone, fat, etc. Zippy's and Rainbow drive in blow this place out of the water (in Waikiki). Those are in and out spots, no gristle, fat you can't chew, bone pieces. Where's the spam? Anyhow, tried it. It's o.k. won't go back. Does not represent the food in waikiki.“

“All day breakfast and great prices!“

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

“We went here for the first time recently. The food was good and the person that took our order was very nice. I asked for extra sauce for the chicken katsu which they happily put in the bag that was sitting on the counter, but unfortunately that wasn’t the bag that our food was put in. When we got home, which is 15 minutes away, I opened it to find no sauce at all for the chicken katsu. That’s my favorite part of that meal 😭😭. It was super annoying but luckily we had taken some of their house sauce which is yummy, the food and people were nice, and the prices aren’t outrageous. We’ll try again in the future. I also wish they had mixed plates so we could get multiple meats. We ended up ordering 3 meals so my husband could have it for lunch the next day.“

“Was in the area and saw this poke spot was close. I stopped in and the food looked really fresh and there was plenty of people inside and it was only 11:30. I ordered the large with 5 scoops and it filled me up. If I’m back in the area I will definitely have to stop and eat again“

“For someone who adores beef, their beef bowl is da bomb, big and juicy just the way I like it. My boyfriend also had the big bros house special and I honestly don’t know which is best cause the sauce is heavenly.“

“Hawaii, Ahi, Seafood... do I have to say more? Love this place.“

“Authentic Hawaiian plate lunch!“

“All of the ingredients! So fresh!“

“I’ve been looking for a poke place and happened to find this little place. Went there once and the gentleman was very nice and helpful in the selection. My husband and I tried it at home and it was spectacular! Came back today and they were so generous in the quantity. I could say the best poke place I’ve eaten! If only I could afford eating at this place everyday, I would!“

“The best Poke in Long Beach! Loco Moco (oh boy, oh joy! 😋), Braised Beef and California Poke are my favorites. Definitely a MUST try, if you’re in the area! #pokeandmore“

“Veggies are great. I love the fish and shrimp. Always delicious.“

“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!“

“Food is great and lunch special is the best super deal! Place looks good ONLY 1 issue the drink station is bad looks like it has some rust and old dry liquid that escapes from it I think all that rust is in the ice and maybe in the water that mixes with the soda they need to change it or get it maintained as you can see in pictures it’s been like this for a while…“

“Awesome first experience! The traffic on Eastern had me turn into this food court. I've been to the green olive but decided for the Benton box at Poki N Roll. The tempura was lightly breaded and crispy. The portion of chicken and rice was very generous and I liked that the chop the chicken. Paola was very warm and welcoming. Thank you so much to the BOH and FOH for the great food and service. I'll be back to try other menu items.“

“Muy buen servicio muy agradable Lugar y fresco“

“I was able to come here twice while on business. I did enjoy all the variety of toppings to the 3 or 5 protein bowl. The rice was great for the foundation.I tried the volcano 2 and spicy mayo combo and couldn't really taste the heat at all. Probably needed more flavoring. A but bland. But the bowl size and portion for 5 protein is good. 15.99. Adding an avocado baby scoop is probably worth it at 1.50 extra to give your bowl extra texture. Enjoyed the bowl. Spice up the sauces.“

“They were out of chicken, food took forever and it was Luke warm with the same flavors I remember but now less meat. It's a huge serving of rice with a bit of meat. I have to say I was disappointed at a few things but I still ate good I wished they had a microwave I could heat it up on.“

“This poke bar is outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with excellent customer service. The staff was incredibly patient and took the time to walk us through the menu, helping us navigate the variety of proteins and sides for our poke bowls. Every bite was a delight, from start to finish. I can't recommend it enough—it's delicious, healthy, and totally satisfying!“

“Amazing food! Their poke bowls are very good. I was really worried they'd give too much rice but they do not skimp on the toppings at all. Handrolls are also good, and everything is seasoned/marinated perfectly. However I urge you to order online as infrequent as possible as they regularly forget multiple toppings I order, even when I pay more for extra.“

“Poke Etc is a good choice for poke lovers! The prices are on the lower side, but the quality is definitely on the higher end. The ingredients are always fresh, and there are plenty of ready options to choose from. The service could use some improvement, but overall, it’s still a great place to visit for a satisfying meal.“

“Good food good service good portions“

“I've only eaten Poki twice and both were from here. I instantly fell in love with it. close to work so I can pick it up on my lunch hour.“

“This used to be L&L Hawaiian Food and over night was LB Hawaiian BBQ. The food got a bit better and everything stayed the same. The last two times we went in though the taste of the food has been different and my son didn't want to eat (he's 10). It's a place we really like so we'll give it another try to see.“

“I’ve been to other Ohana’s it’s always been a good meal, this place isn’t any different.I just had 4 spam musubi’s and 2 chicken musubi’s. All were delicious and filling for the lunch hour. I weil suggest “easy rice” for less rice and the chicken/spam were cooked/sauced perfectly.I’d definitely come back and try their other menu items.“

“Great food. Bacon fried rice is excellent!“

“It was good. I really enjoyed my poke bowl, and so did my asian mother who actualy doesn’t enjoy very much of anything not Chinese. My mother was kicking and screaming when I suggested the hanger. She was originally going to go somewhere else but I was very surprised when she brought a poke bowl back to our table. And she liked it. I ate a large, ate a half of a bowl, and brought the rest home. Put it in the fridge and took it out and just ate it and it was good! Some places the rice and other stuff isn’t good quality anymore, but nope this was just dandy. I got the brown rice, the salmon, albacore, spicy tuna, and octopus. I got most of everything. Got the asian sauce and the spicy mayo. I am accustomed to having poke bowls not as often but sometimes. But for my mother who I didn’t think would like it, to like it thats pretty good. It was her first time eating a poke bowl too.“

“Man , what can I say, ! The food so far is great, i have tried two of their menus and completely satisfied me! I can wait to try their other menus!! The service is good , i always go for “MANY” option ! The atmosphere and the vibe is nice! I can not even tell I am in Long Beach, which i live two blocks away from this place by the way!! Suuuper good!“

“Mission Viejo Stacks - Terrible Service with an Attitude. Brought us someone else's order twice. Finally correct order showed up. Eggs were delivered first cold. Went to Check on Pancakes 5 Staff Standing Around Talking. Was told Pancakes were coming. After 10 minutes they finally arrived. Other Customers were having Service Problems Too.“

“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..“

“Food is always fresh and delicious I’ve been eating here since 2019 staff is always friendly by far the best deal on poke bowls around 3-4 dollars cheaper than any other poke spot but the lower price doesn’t mean worse food highly recommend poki naya“

“Love their teriyaki burger on lettuce wrap. Delicious!“

“The best quarantine comfort food! Love this place! 😋“
