Hawaiian Restaurants near Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

“I love the food here.
I have been coming here for years.
The service is amazing.
I personally go for the medium poke bowl but their sushi rolls are really good as well.
I am always happy to order food here. There has never been a day that I disliked the food.
You should definitely come here!“

“Server explained food options then proceeded to ring me out at register and mistakened my $50.00 bill for a $20.00 bill. I had to wait longer for her to correct the register . I hand over to her a $20.00 bill to finish my order and correct changes. She admitted she had mistakenly rung the transaction of funds incorrectly. She thought gave her a $20.00 bill and had to correct the register.“

“Great Food. Price it's right.“

“Best poke I've had in SoCal! Like the poke on the islands. Very fresh and delicious. Not much parking and always a line to get in, but the guys at the counter are great and the choices are limited so it moves very fast. Not much seating but take out works. Truly recommend trying it out. If you like poke you will love it!“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“furikake chicken furikake chicken furikake chicken poke and kalbi too but did I mention the FURIKAKE CHICKEN??? highly recommended“

“I love the quality and quantity of food you get. Their Portuguese Sausage is amazing and their fried rice is always delicious“

“There are restaurants where the food carries the entire experience and then there are places where somebody behind the counter reminds you that hospitality is still part of the job.

Poke & More is the second kind. I’ve been here enough times now to finally have an opinion and the woman working the counter may genuinely be one of the nicest people I’ve encountered in a restaurant in a while. Warm, patient, grateful you’re there. The sort of person who somehow makes handing over a plastic bowl of raw fish and rice feel like an act of hospitality instead of a transaction.

That matters. The place itself is simple, clean and easy. Parking isn’t a battle. Nobody is trying to turn poke into theater. You order your food, they make it and you leave happier than you arrived.

The bowl is straightforward: white rice, furikake, poke. And the rice deserves credit. Properly cooked, fluffy, enough structure to hold the fish without turning into paste. Traditional Hawaiian poke doesn’t require sushi rice and honestly I prefer this approach. Let the fish do the talking.

The fish, unfortunately, is also why this stops at four stars. I usually get two kinds of poke and the seasoning is flavorful but can run a little salty. More importantly, the texture isn’t completely consistent. Some pieces have that clean, firm bite you want from raw tuna. Others can be softer, slightly mealy, occasionally a little fishier than I’d like.

Nothing has ever crossed into “don’t eat this” territory. It’s just the difference between good poke and the kind of poke that makes you stop talking for a minute. And this is good poke.

The portions are generous, the rice works, the seasoning scratches the itch and the whole thing makes for an easy, satisfying meal. There are probably flashier poke places in Los Angeles. There are certainly more expensive ones. Poke & More feels like neither.

It feels like a neighborhood place that does its job. And then that ridiculously kind service bumps the whole experience up another notch.

Four stars. The food is good. The hospitality is better. And I’ll absolutely be back.“

“Great tasting food....healthy options...large portions...friendly atmosphere.“

“My Favorite Spot!!! Food and Bakery are Onolicious!“

“If you are craving local food big or small and wanting island shave ice to top off you meal then stop by.“

“This place blew me away! The food was incredible—every bite was fresh and flavorful perfection. The service was exceptional; the staff was warm, attentive, and never overbearing. But the views were absolutely stunning—like dining in a postcard! I’ll definitely be back soon. Five stars across the board!“

“This is a favorite of mine! Service is very friendly and accommodating. The food is plentiful and delicious! I highly recommend!!“

“Kings Hawaiian food bakery restaurant is one of my top three places to go eat I recommended highly to anyone that can drive out to the nearest Kings Hawaiian restaurant enjoy life“

“LOVE the poke bowl options including the gluten free/lo carb noodles!“

“Definitely the place to be on Sunday fun day! If you miss home in Hawaii, you'll feel like you are home not just because of the ono food but the incredibly courteous and caring staff. I drove up from Orange County and, the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an ALOHA and watched the place get packed. It was a perfect place to meet up with friends! Spam & eggs with rice for breakfast hit the spot. Malasadas are fresh and warm! Then they added live musicians playing Hawaiian music and I didn't want to leave. Highly recommend and plan to return again!“

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

“Food is great. Its a little whole in the wall. Interior is average, bit the food is delicious. Katsu and beef combo great. Dumplings great. The Teri beef at other places can be kind of fatty, it was lean and clean. The appearance of the restraunt does not do the food justice. Its our new go to in Torrance, beats our old favorite Island Hut. Sauces including chicken salad dressing are great. Not fancy just good. Grab some and head to the beach.“

“This FAKA makes some ono grinds! I lived Hawaii 35 years and love my plate lunches. I got the mix with garlic shrimp, karaage chocken and kalua pig! The food was top notch! I will definately return here. Great macvsalad too in a seperate container. Highly recommended! Staff was great, wait was short!“

“Beach Hut has the absolute best food!! Grew up in the South Bay and every time I fly back from Texas I stop here for a Royal Hawaiian!! So good!!“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“There’s certain l&l’s that are great out of all the ones I’ve been to this one is third in my book.
The only thing I eat all the time is chicken katsu curry so that’s what I base my review on.
I got the regular size and as always it was a lot of food enough for two people or two meals.
My apologies no pictures or videos“

“Have been coming here since high school. Great food, friendly service, and very fast. The portions are amazing. Had the half and half Katsu chicken curry and Bbq chicken with Hawaiian iced tea. Spam musubi is fresh and tastes great as well.“

“good food. good portions. reasonable price.“

“Food is always good. ONLY problem I have is that they charge waaaayyy to much for a small soda.“

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“Food is really good and fresh. The place is always clean and the employees are always good. Def returning all the time. I do wish their portion sizes included at least half a spoon more for the price. Regardless, its the cleanest spot in the area and i always return.“

“A fun cool place to chill and relax. Karoake is a blast. The food is off the chain and cook cesar is a master. The bartenders are cool and awesomeee. During sports is fun. And lets go raidersssssssss.......“

“Maui Chicken & Poke in Gardena is hands down one of the best places to eat! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their poke is outstanding, and you can truly taste the quality. What really sets them apart is their fresh salmon and tuna. I haven’t found another place that offers fish this fresh and delicious. Every bowl is packed with high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and amazing flavors. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the restaurant is always clean. If you’re looking for fresh poke and great Hawaiian-inspired food, Maui Chicken & Poke is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“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..“

“Yes so good Poke Bar delicious 😋 see you tomorrow 😜😋“

“This is the first poke spot I’ve ever seen in a Walmart. I always have to grab my poke bowl and tai tea with boba. There food and service is always good. I definitely recommend this place. 😊❤️“

“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.“

“I love the quality and quantity of food you get. Their Portuguese Sausage is amazing and their fried rice is always delicious“

“I’ve haven’t been to L&L Hawaiian BBQ in a long time because I’ve been quarantined in my house in Hermosa Beach due to the COVID-19 Virus. My friend😎JakeBok and I are definitely looking forward to some Hawaiian dining“

“i came in on a friday night around 7 ish on 5/8 and the cashier was so sweet and attentive. food was good but i really just wanted to write this review so the manager knows that whoever was working the front tonight is an amazing employee and has great energy.“

“I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Mix and overall I’d give it a 3.9/5.
The meat is medium to low quality, but it’s well seasoned and cooked properly.
The chicken was the highlight: juicy and full of flavor 👌

The portions are generous, which I appreciate, although it felt a bit pricey for the quality.
The place is simple, nothing special in terms of atmosphere, but it gets the job done.
The service was excellent: fast and very friendly, a 100 👏

Overall, it was good… but honestly, I’m not sure I’d come back.“

“Went for lunch with my wife . parking lot a little small not too bad during lunch hours was fairly crowded. Food was served ..
Hot and fairly quickly. Tables were clean. Beverage area was clean. Servers were friendly and very nice.“

“it was delish i had the fiery chicken yummers“

“Inside seating and lots of parking..

Love that their macaroni salad doesn't have tuna! But this time is tasted over cooked with too much mayonnaise.

The loco moco patties tasted frozen & gravy wasn't very good . . ($16)

The mixed BBQ plate comes with a lot of meat, a couple scoops of tice, & Mac salad. ($19)

They don't have the original Red Rooster Siracha anymore .. bummer.“

“My first time here because I just so happened to be in the area. I had the brisket & tendon phó. It was delicious. It had so much tendon and I loved it. Great flavor and freshness. I read some of the reviews that were negative. My experience was nothing but positive. I like to eat at mom and pop restaurants. The service was polite and attentive. Give this establishment a try. I think you’ll find it a tasty and positive experience.“
