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!“

“This place is awesome. We placed a togo order and sat down - the owner/manager came out with a pitcher of water and cups. He went around asking customers any concerns. People eating breakfast - huge flurry pancakes and lunch
I wanted the chicken pot pie but sold out. Next time will try and come earlier.“

“Been coming here for years, one of my absolute favorite places to eat. Food is amazing, it is cooked properly and always tastes fresh, plus they give really good portions and the menu is reasonably priced. Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Hawaiian BBQ spots in SoCal if not the best.“

“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.“

“Decided to try this place out . I had pre-ordered ahead of time for pick up. Ordering Platform was a breeze and easy to navigate. I got the island beef ribs and the beef bowl. I was suprised at how many ribs you get and the amount of meat on it for only 18 bucks! It was plastic wrapped down so the package wouldnt leak which was helpful cuz I hate when my food leaks. The flavor of the meat was salty and greasy and that is just how i like my meat to taste. I was impressed. I spent a total of $30 bucks for dinner for myself and my honey. Location was easy to get into and parking was a abundant .“

“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 💯.“

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

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

“Authentic Hawaiian plate lunch!“

“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“

“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!“

“All of the ingredients! So fresh!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The plates are huge and a great deal! We tried the Kalbi & Hawaiian fried chicken with it’s accompanying mac salad rice and ramen cabbage slaw. It was the end of the night but the quality did NOT suffer. They gave us a free spam musubi too🥹🫶 We will be making this a pit stop next time we head to the beach !“

“Ok, this spot definitly hits the mark for Chinese fast food. The chow mein is delicious and fried rice is fluffy. They have regular and spicy Orange Chicken options, which I really appreciate since I don't like it too spicy. The Orange Chicken was a bit chewy and I do prefer more crunch on the breading. Flavor was good though. I really enjoyed the Black Pepper Chicken here vs anywhere else I've been. That dish was seasoned perfectly and the chicken was juicy.

The only complaint I have was the staff member I interacted with was slightly rude and stingy with the teriyaki sauce til I asked again for more. I let her know it was my first time there and my bf had sent me since he liked their food. She did not automatically give chopsticks like most do, I had to ask her where they were and she acted like I should already know. Then I asked for teriyaki and she gave me one lil container, even though I'd ordered 2 meals.
I had to go back inside after I'd gone to my car. Asked her for another and she literally rolled her eyes at me, then gave me 2 more more forcefully than she needed to, like I had annoyed her.

I guess they can treat customers like they're an inconvenience because their food is so good. I was nothing but cordial with her btw. I will be back for the food regardless.“

“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.“

“Muy buen servicio muy agradable Lugar y fresco“

“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!“

“Aloha is now my new Hawaiian bbq go-to in the LA area. This new Buena Park location is located in a strip mall with ample parking. Service is prompt and friendly. Incredibly generous portions for the price - what a great value meal.

For just around $50, this was enough food for both dinner AND lunch the next day for two of us (the portions are so generous that $50 essentially bought us four meals between two hungry adults!). What we ordered:
1. The $10 spam musubi and chicken skewer plate (both delicious). By the way, the chicken skewers à la carte are amazingly priced, at only less than $2 a skewer.
2. Chicken katsu - perfectly breaded, flavorful, and love that Aloha seems to only use dark meat/thigh (no breast, and therefore far juicier).
3. Bbq meat plate - the beef, shortrib, and chicken were all perfectly grilled. And of course, we loved the classic sides consisting of Mac salad and rice.
4. Crispy shrimp - loved how crispy they were.

I noticed that they cater as well - making a mental note to call them for my next event, as the value for quality and portion is beyond outstanding.

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food. Bacon fried rice is excellent!“

“Just visited for the 1st time, seen the items they had posted on the window, it looked so good I decided to try it out and man I dont regret it. I ordered a bowl with spicy chicken and kimchi and man that dish was so good better then I had in mind that I am forsure going to come back. Just got to find parking tbh because its next to the court house but the food is delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
