“Me and my family had a wonderful experience eating here at Big Island the lady who took our order was super attentive and she was by herself customer service was her ultimate goal and she maximized our experience with every second she had. The food was great and the portion size is plenty for the money. I will definitely be returning.“

“Always AMAZING service. Sweetest folks work here. Best poke place I’ve ever tried. Always fresh, always tasty. Better come get some.

Special shoutout to Rey. He makes the best poke bowls, has exceptional customer service skills.“

“First time trying this place the poke was delicious the fish was fresh shrimp cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The only negative thing I can say is I wish I tried this place sooner totally going into my rotation for lunch.“

“Love this place. We pretend we are in Hawaii...“

“Saturday lunch break. I’m out at the karting track and suddenly that craving hits — poke. Not sushi, not burgers… poke.

Quick search shows a spot about 15 minutes away, so I jump in the car. First thing I notice while checking reviews: Yelp shows 3.9 stars, but Google says 4.4. That already made me curious. Like… what exactly are people complaining about here? I even started reading a few reviews before going in.

Walking inside, the place is simple, clean, exactly what you expect from a casual poke spot. Nothing fancy, but that’s not why you come here anyway.

What actually stood out right away was the service. The guy behind the counter was genuinely friendly — not the robotic “next customer please” kind of vibe. He walked me through the options, explained how their bowls work, and even let me taste a couple things before deciding. That alone already set the tone.

The ingredients looked fresh across the board. You build your bowl step by step — rice, proteins, toppings, sauces. Pretty straightforward system, but everything was organized and clean behind the counter.

The bowl itself? Really good. Fresh fish, balanced flavors, nothing drowning in sauce. Exactly the kind of lunch you want after burning energy at the track.

And the price was honestly fair. I’ve eaten poke in places that charge noticeably more for basically the same portion.

So yeah… I’m still not sure why Yelp sits at 3.9, because my experience was solid from start to finish.

Expectations vs reality matched perfectly.

It’s not a fine-dining restaurant, and it’s not trying to be one. It’s a straightforward poke spot that does its job well.

And honestly — I’ll definitely swing by again next time I’m nearby.“

“First time in and I’m not disappointed!! my aunt and I got two different poke bowls with salad and Connor and Larissa were amazing. Our food was amazing exactly what we needed . The portions were generous, and the seasonings were spot on and both of our pallets highly recommend the experience.“

“I came across this gem one afternoon as I was heading back home. I was greeted by the cashier named Yvonne and she recommended me the Hawaiian BBQ mix. It came with rice, macaroni salad, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, and short ribs! The portion is massive (I usually eat a lot and I almost couldn't finish it).

Once I am done with the food, the chef named Mr. Ho asked if I find the taste good. I just showed him the empty plate that I devoured.

There are a variety of drinks ( I definitely recommend the Hawaiian Sun selections that sits on the counter. Any flavor is fine because it can't go wrong with the brand.

I will definitely be back for more food.

Parking: A lot of spot since it shares a building with Lowe's and other major food franchise like Starbucks.

Kid-friendliness: There are gumballs, sticker, and other kid toy machine to entertain them.“

“Delicious food!!! ❤ I'll be back for more!!!“

“Fresh food. Awesome employees“

“This is my go to Hawaiian spot in Temecula. Food is always good and service is great. The only downside is portion size, sometimes you get a lot and it’s perfect, but sometimes it’s less depending on the cook. This would be my only suggestion on improvement.“
