“Was in the area for work and gave this place a try. Nice small dining area. Ten different types of fish to choose from. The large bowls here are 5 scoops of fish compared to the 3 or 4 scoops at other locations, however the fish scoops here are on the smaller side. Very simple and not many topping options. Would like to see more toppings. The fish tasted fresh and althought it was simple it was delicious. Was there around 1pm and it was non stop with customers coming in the door so it seems like a popular place. The price was very fair and was slightly cheaper than most other Poke locations. I enjoyed the food and would give it more visits when in the area.“
“Love it. I've been to a different location before and when I'm in the area I seek out Nalu's. It is a great casual spot for some good, fresh food. We got a Mahi plate, a panko ahí plate, and a kids chicken plate. The fish were both delicious and my kid devoured the chicken. I also love the mac salad. Will definitely be back to this or other locations. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was very fast.“

“I feel like I've found the golden egg! We are from Hawaii and a dish I been missing was meat Jun, Hana definitely hit the spot. We got take out and there was no bumps in the road, in and out. The meat Jun was tasty and not dry, it was a lot of bang for the buck. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes“

“This place has been there for years, finally had a chance to try it for breakfast with friends. They have a great selection of food to make anyone happy, all tasty and made to order. I love going out for breakfast on the weekend, though my wife is hard to get out of bed early in her day off. Although after her positive comments about it, there may be hope for me yet!“
“I love stacks. The first time I went to any of their locations was 11 years ago. I love that they've had enough success to expand more and more over the years and still maintain the same level of food throughout each location. I do wish they would go back to rotating their specials more frequently but I think that's probably harder to do with all of the locations they now have. My typical go to nowadays is the island chilaquiles.“
“Such a fantastic dining experience. Such great employees starting with great leadership. Look forward to coming here every time I'm hungry. Super fresh fish and plenty of options to choose from. Wish these owners would open another one for the ambiance.“
“After visiting dana point caves, I was craving for a poke, so we did a spontaneous poke run at this mom & pop shop in san juan capistrano which ended up being rly nice :) restaurant was located in a very quiet area so we were the only patrons (aka introvert heaven). We ordered the large which comes with 5 proteins, with an extra scoop of spicy tuna bc didn't realize the first scoop would be mixed in the poke haha. I love how avocados are included in all the toppings and not counted as "extra" lol I'm used to being very extra so it was nice not having to be. Everything tasted fresh and service was warm & friendly. So glad we made the visit on our way back home!“
“This restaurant specializes is poki bowls (rice base with sushi). It’s kinda a build your own, with choices for rice, the sushi, and the toppings.The food is extraordinary, fresh, and very tasty. The rice is a bit underwhelming, but still very good.The location is a bit of a hole in the wall, with minimal parking, a liquor store next door (in case you really need that drink!), and a sign for “tattoos”. I’m not really sure if they do Tattoos here, but maybe? Or maybe it’s just an inside joke?This is the place you come to and order to go. While they do have tables in the parking lot, I’m not sure I want to eat next to running cars in a filthy parking lot…“
“Poke Tiki in Laguna Niguel, CA Yay we found a yummy poke spot right by our place this weekend. We came here for lunch and it didn't disappoint. There were endless options for everything from bases to proteins to toppings and sauces! We'll definitely be back! There are multiple locations: San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine, Tustin, Orange, Costa Mesa.“
“10/9/23 Just driving around PCH, cruising and we stumbled upon this poke shop. We were casually looking for a place to grab some grub, poke sounds better than my initial idea (burgers).Went in & was instantly greeted by staff. It's the usual process, select size, your vase, your sides, veggies/add-ons, protein, sauces and toppings. Opted for a large, feeling hungry (I figured if I don't finish it, Hubby will). Half brown rice, half salad, 3 sides: mac, seaweed & crab salad. Protein (5), salmon, tuna, yellowtail, spicy tuna, scallop. Sauces: spicy mayo, sesame oil & shoyu. Toppings: furikake & sesame seeds. It was pretty hefty in weight but it didn't seem to be that much in portion size. I think it could've used more salad-probably because the greens were drenched with the sauce. Overall, the taste was pretty good. Service was fairly attentive. The place is tucked in a small strip mall. Somehow it did not give me the wow factor that would make me go out of my way to return but it fit the bill at this time. Price-wise, at par with some of the poke places I've visited. There's ample parking in the lot. Good poke bowl“
“This place has a very laid back and had a Hawaiian style ambiance! You walk in and order and the front and then they bring your food to you! I ordered the gluten free pancakes and did not have any issues! They were so soft and fluffy I questioned whether they were really gluten free! I also got to the turkey sausage with scrambled eggs and cheese on top! I will definitely be stopping here for breakfast whenever I am in town! The staff were friendly and understanding of my gluten allergy!“

“Visited Nalu's with my son a couple weeks ago and would highly recommend. I had been to another location before but this was my first time to the one in Laguna Niguel. Located in shopping center with multiple stores and other restaurants, Nalu's has a bit dated surfer decor but was clean and presentable. The lady taking our order was friendly. My son ordered Tutu's Bento and I ordered chicken katsu. Tutu's Bento included all chicken, steak, chicken katsu, kalua pork, mahi mahi, portuguese sausage, and steamed rice. The portion was more than generous! The chicken katsu included steamed rice, macaroni salad and coleslaw. With some delicious Hawaiian Sun juice drinks, our lunch was amazing! Definitely going to return.“
“The food was really delicious. We had the combo chicken and kalbi. The chicken was so flavorful and the kalbi was nicely grilled and did not have that heavy soy taste you sometimes get with kalbi. The vegetable spring rolls were also really good ,and having the Hawaiian Sun pineapple orange drink to wash everything down was the icing on the cake. The service was very nice as well.“
“Our family of 4 are here today at 4pm. We were starving and Hawaiian sounded good. We had a great experience. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We got a huge mixed plate of food to share. I was especially impressed with their short ribs and fried rice. The atmosphere is open, airy and relaxed. I'd go again and would definitely recommend for others.“
