Hawaiian Restaurants near San Pedro, CA

“it was delish i had the fiery chicken yummers“

“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!“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

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

“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!“

“Hawaii, Ahi, Seafood... do I have to say more? Love this place.“

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“Good food and friendly staff“

“The best Poke in Long Beach! Loco Moco (oh boy, oh joy! 😋), Braised Beef and California Poke are my favorites. Definitely a MUST try, if you’re in the area! #pokeandmore“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I really like this place, I forgot when they opened but it’s been around for a few years now. Whenever I come back to SoCal I make sure to stop by and grab a bowl. Also very generous bowl for the price, especially compared to out of state poke bowls lol“

“I tried this place for the first time today, and I am very happy I did.
It is a hole in the wall type place with Hawaiian style poke & other Hawaiian dishes.
I had the sweet & spicy ahi and salmon combination with rice, and it was excellent, in my opinion. Also, the service was quick and really friendly.
I plan on coming back soon!“

“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.“

“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. 😊❤️“

“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..“

“I'm always hesitant to order a "spicy" dish because I never think it'll actually pack a punch, but man oh man was the Spicy Meat Party nice and spicy! And you could taste so many layered flavors and not just the spice! I thought it was EXCELLENT. Also loved the side of avocado mac salad. It was so creamy and I have NO idea how it's all gluten free!“

“good food. good portions. reasonable price.“

“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 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.“

“Um I kicked out because the lobby closed at 9:30pm even time said 10pm and I had barely gotten off work and I just wanted to eat my food and I couldn't even finish it up at the beginning they said I was allowed to finish my and later on I wasn't“

“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“

“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.“

“I came in today and was attended by Jamila. She was a ray of sunshine and I enjoyed my food experience and chat with her. Coach girlies recognize coach girlies. As well as all the female cashiers were as equally kind and pleasant. The only thing I was disappointed with was the portions of my food I felt they were a little small for what I paid for.“

“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.“

“**Delicious Hawaiian BBQ on the Go!**

I recently tried the to-go Hawaiian BBQ restaurant, and it was an excellent experience! The menu offers a great variety of traditional Hawaiian dishes, from succulent BBQ chicken to flavorful Kalua pork. Each dish comes with generous portions of rice and macaroni salad, making it a hearty meal.

The flavors are authentic, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory, typical of Hawaiian BBQ. The meats were tender and juicy, cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the BBQ chicken, which had a smoky flavor and was grilled just right.

The service was efficient. The packaging was neat and kept the food warm until I got home.

Overall, this Hawaiian BBQ spot is a gem for anyone craving a quick, delicious meal with authentic island flavors. Highly recommended!“
