Ali'i Hawaiian Grill - Manhattan Beach

If you know & love or want to experience real a slice of Hawaiian cuisine, Ali'i Hawaiian Grill NEVER disappoints...like the locals on the ʻāina say, it broke da mouth cuz. And when Uncle Guy is working the counter, he has that warm Hawaiian ambassador energy that makes you feel welcomed, comfortable and like you're a guest in his home kitchen who just arrived in time to get the most satisfying meal...it is the most authentic Hawaiian cuisine experience I've had on the mainland in 13 years so hats off to the staff and owners.
The food goes without saying is delicious, fresh, priced right and sure to have you leaving happy. It was my first time at this new location and I really enjoyed the new updated look as well as the patio seating outside in the back. Next time I am pau surf, I'll be there.

Wanted to try a new poke spot and gave this one a shot. Overall, it was fine. The poke wasn’t as fresh as I hoped, and the rice wasn’t anything special. The best part about the meal was the macaroni salad or the pulled pork.

Staff was super friendly! We were the first customers and they gave us a full tour of the menu. My favorite was the crunchy garlic tuna

Loved it! The poke was fresh and tasty and the Huli chicken had a great smokey taste. The rice, mac salad, and sides were all fresh and delicious too. We will be back for more poke soon.

This is a great place for a simple and fresh poke bowl. We've tried a few other items like the chicken plate and salmon teriyaki which are other great options too. But usually I'm feeling poke. The staff is friendly and helpful. There's a few different ahi poke flavors but wish they had a couple more flavors. But still my go-to place for poke in this area!
