“This poke’s fish texture was more jelly when bit ( might be marinated in a special Hawaiian way) compared to Japanese/Asian style poke for your reference. Just not the best texture to me, personally. I am in general more used to having non-Hawaiian style poke.Side dishes are in generous size, though the Edamame tasted a bit cold, hard, raw, and unflavored to me. I wish could have it warm with light sparkled salt on top instead.Appreciate the friendly people who work in store. They are kind to give wasabi and soy sauce pods for extra flavor if asked.“
“We popped into this gem to have a spot of lunch. We instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. We ordered the Teriyaki Burger (which was SO DELICIOUS!) and the Fried Chicken sandwich (perfectly juicy and tender with delicious dressing), and Hawaiian Fries. We had the frozen Maui Wowis, which were refreshing and sweet! If you’re looking for a cool place to eat delicious food, LOOK NO FURTHER. Here it is!“
“The place itself is tiny, but the service is impressive! The owner himself greeted us and answered questions about the menu, then gave us samples. Ended up getting the Hawaiian Poke combo with 1/2 cucumber and seaweed salad, and a ginger ale. My favorite thing off the menu is hands down the seaweed salad. The poke was good, I think that because it’s intended to be a new take on poke itself, I was a little disappointed. I just happen to love the typical assembly line style of poke where you get to pick everything you want, and that wasn’t an option here, so I felt like there was something missing. It’s really just about personal preferences, but if you really like poke & want to try something different, then I would recommend it!Side note: I didn’t try the ramen, but the entire restaurant smelled strongly of broth and butter noodles, (in a good way) so I would be curious to try their ramen next.“
“Unfortunately they scaled down the fish offering and now have only 4-5 options (spicy ahi, sweet ahi, salmon and shrimp if I recall correctly) but everything is super fresh, handed with a big smile and you have an outdoor area to sit in the sun. Love the place. I would stick to the poke. Tried the meat tacos and the chips with smoked white fish and wasn't blown away.“
“This is my new go-to spot when flying in and out of LAX airport. The poke was high-quality and fresh with premium fish cuts. What really stood out was the customer service/the owners - they were warm, kind, and took the time to share with us about their food. You could tell that they are passionate about their business and customer care. There were long-time regulars there, and they just gained a new one ?.“
“How have I lived here for as long as I have without knowing about this little gastronomical gem. A friend introduced me one night and I was instantly hooked on the place and the Pono burger with the Pono sauce. I’m a fan of sweet potato fries and those were quite divine, aioli on the side. We just went back for a casual Sunday lunch as our last food hoorah after Thanksgiving. That LUNCH! Perfection. Highly recommend. Have the spicy marg to go along with it. Light, refreshing, also perfection. Pono appetit!“

“I went to the Local Place. They were serving breakfast only. I bought some great pastries to go. They had mochi donuts strawberry and matcha flavors, 3 flavor cupcakes, passion fruit cake, guava pastry. The selection is plentiful and everything looks so delicious, it was hard to choose. Everything tastes wonderful and flavors are superb. (Sorry I didn't take any photos)“
“We ate a great breakfast here yesterday. The food was great and the staff was very friendly. My husband ordered the Original Royale with fried rice, I had the French toast, and our daughter had the spam with eggs and hash browns. YUM! Everything was amazing. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again!“
“Definitely one of my favorite healthy food spots. The location is clean great vibes color is vibrant and the ambience music is great. The food is always great because I like going into eat, but I also order online and deliver because the quality is top notch. There are other similar shops, but this is usually my go to delivery order.Parking: Easy parking in lot and street parking is availableKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Love this poke spot! Has become my go-to as well as a few friends' now. Prices are fair, a little on the higher side but well worth it for the quality of fish, variety of mix-ins and sauces, and friendly atmosphere!Janine is also great! ?“
“I’m amazed. I was just passing by and decided to have Maui Chicken. DELICIOUS! I ordered salmon and avocado poke bowl, 100% recommend this place. Service amazing, they are very polite. It was a very hot day, I forgot to order water or anything to drink, the owner gave me a cold water bottle before leaving and said “it’s a very hot day outside, have some water”. They literally treat you like family. I saved this place in my favorites, I’m coming back. It wasn’t the free water for me, it was how kind they are here, they are laughing all the time, very nice energy. Food is AMAZING, taste and freshness are incredible. Portions are perfect, not too much rice. The plate comes with rice, A LOT of toppings, salad and mac&cheese for $19. It’s not overpriced at all, I don’t mind paying, when food and service are 5 stars. Thank you Maui Chicken, I’ll be back soon.*Food was so good I couldn’t stop, forgot to take a pic of my plate haha.“
“Thanks to the guys at Anytime Hawaiian for a great local dinner. We were craving some local food and found Anytime Hawaiian right across the Disneyland bus depot on Harbor. Great guys and great food. Thank you. We will definitely be back again. Aloha“
“We LOVE eating @ Taks. There are not many family owned places like Taks. The staff treat you like family so patrons tend to treat each other like family. Every meal is the BEST because of all of the above. Xoxo????? SO THANKFUL FOR TAKS. karen and eddieParking: Large parking lot.“
“This is a fast Chinese food spot food is not horrible but it's not the best. It is one of the better and cleaner looking Chinese food locations I've been to. The service is fast if you're gonna order from the pre made food there and the portions are huge for a good price. If you're gonna order off the menu i recommend ordering that first it will take a little bit longer to get that out. Inside looks a lot better looks like it's been painted and got new signs on the walls. Decent spot good service and fast food.“
“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“
“The Poke is great. The bowl sizes are really based on the number of fish scoops. Get large! Get 3 scoops.Staff person was super cordial.Ambiance poor. Their outside tables not wiped down. Not enough staff? Bring your own water avoid plastic!“
“Food was great, they provided well services when ordering, and dining in felt comfortable. If you prefer not to eat everything. Then you could simply change the order of plate you’re eating to be “all sides” so you can have separate containers of the food. Meaning you’ll be able to save whatever you won’t eat for later and just eat the ones you want.“
“It's not everyday where you come across a place that exudes community, warmth, and good food - all thanks to the convivial magic that Gary brings to the table as the location's manager. He makes every visit personal and goes above and beyond to procure the freshest food and make everyone feel right at home. The best of the best, and always a perennial pleasure. Can't wait for my next bowl!“
“The food is amazing and our favorite and 90% of the staff is rad. There’s a younger girl that works there that refuses to make the bobba drink that they advertise. They’re either out or the machine is broke, but ONLY when she’s working. The taller young guy always makes it hands down and with a great attitude. I always thought she was lying but today I just saw the young guy over hear me try to order one so he attempted to make one and she stopped him dead in his tracks and gave him that look. I just laughed and shook my head. To the gentlemen, you’re going places. Keep it up. To the young lady…smfh.“
“Food Was Bomb Beginning To End, They Hook It Up With The Chinese Version Of Chips N Salsa. Do Yourself A Favor And Order Moo Shu It Comes Fresh and The Waiter Will Wrap It In A Crepe Before Your Very Eyes!!! Forks Weren't Perfectly Clean But Meh It Happens. Also The Service Was Fast As Heck This Place Has Badass Workers. I Came Here Just Because I Was Passin' Through And I'm Really Happy I Chose RANDOMLY To Stop Here. Enjoy!!“
“Ok so far so good good service it's 12:41am and they still cooking I like that about this place ordered a nice meal chicken combo Hawaiian BBQ there making it fresh can't wait to taste my food the atmosphere is nice and clean so that's a plus so far so good I don't understand why some people complain and say that it's bad my experience is so far a good one just waiting on the food to see if it's good or nasty it smells delicious can't wait to taste the food ....................... (A few minutes later) now it's 12:58am tasted the food it's delicious I do recommended“
“A rated. I eat poke all over town and hands down this is the best poke on the Westside. The quality is great, a good selection and variety of veggies and protein offered which result in great taste and the portions are honestly huge. Price wise..... Definitely good deal!Parking may be a bit on the short side but I have never found it challenging....always got a meter on the street within a minute's walk.“
“Poke Me is a gem! Every bowl is bursting with freshness, and the flavors are unmatched. The staff is friendly, making each visit feel personal and warm. Portions are generous, leaving you satisfied every time. It's not just about eating here; it's the whole experience that keeps me coming back. If you haven't been to Poke Me yet, you're missing out. Truly a top spot for poke lovers!“
“I love this place! I often order pickup since I’m down the road but they’re also on Uber eats. The pickup has usually been 10 mins or less. The portions are huge. I just wanted to sing their praises and give them a review after my 10+ orders with them.“
“I spotted this place on imperial and crenshaw and decided to go in and see what this location was about. It was very busy for dinner time and the young man that took my order was very pleasant And answered all my questions with professionalism and patience. I really enjoyed my meal. Thank you! I'll be “
“Great good. Fast. Clean. Friendly atmosphere. Daisy, fantastic experience, helped me with my order. The transaction was quick and smooth. I had a pleasant conversation. I got the plate with salad and rice, teriyaki chicken, and BBQ beef. I was hungry, and I ATE. Highly recommend. I will be returning.Parking: It's in a shopping center, there's always parking.“
“Best I have had around anywhere in Los Angeles. By the looks you wouldn't understand how incredibly fresh and always perfect this poke and sushi comes out ever time. Never disappointed. This review is food quality only. The staff is amazing here but they are not servers. They provide the best over the counter poke bowl around. Parking is always easy and if there is a line it always goes fast.“
“This poke spot is very unassuming and you'd never think twice about it. I've had a very good experience every time and honestly it's some of the freshest poke I've had. I've had it around 15-20x as of this review and it's never disappointed.The ingredients are super fresh and I've never had a bad experience here.I'll warn you that their spicy mayo is spicy! They also have really delicious pickles and great fresh crab (likely imitation? If so, I finally don't mind!) as well.The staff is also very friendly and kind.“
“Good food and plenty of free parking. It is also close to the LAX Airport which makes it convenient for y’all to stop by on your way there or on your way back to y’all’s city if y’all are just dropping off someone. Price is very reasonable. They also have exclusive restroom just for the customers, I just hope they can make it a lil bit cleaner. They have friendly service but their food takes a lil bit long and limited seating inside. Aside from that no issues.Definitely recommended!“
“We used to go to The Loft in Torrance and loved everything about it. It was so sad when they had to close. The food at the Gardena location is just like I remember. I love the Kalua Pork! The staff are fantastic. It is counter service only.“
“I always forget to take pictures here ! Been a few times now and my top favorites hands down are the chicken dumplings/& Musubis —they are fat!! Chicken is always juicy and the Katsu is delicious. Just had dinner here and headed next door for dessert. Perfect spot and really affordable for how much food you get ! The cashier lady is always really sweet and they don’t long ! Bring ya people here“
