Hawaiian Restaurants near South Pasadena, CA

“The Canoe House has great food, a creative menu, and a fun, tropical-themed atmosphere. We enjoy having lunch or dinner here with friends and family. They also have a good-sized meeting room if you have a group.“

“This place has the BEST spicy pork I have ever tasted!!!!“

“I visited once and had a great experience. The shrimp was fresh, the ingredients tasted great, and the poke was really flavorful. The portion was generous, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely come back to try it again.“

“First time visiting Ono. Food was OUTSTANDING!! Chicken and beef platter and a mixed fish plate. Will be back!“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“The food was authentic Hawaiian and delicious!😋 The Char Siu pork and fried rice was so tasty and my husband loved the Komai breakfast too! 👍 Even with Covid restrictions, the staff were very friendly and efficient! 💙“

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

“Love the place 👍👍👍🙏😍 Feel like I’m in Hi“

“This place is amazing! Only place I will ever go to get Poke! The food is always fresh, staff is nice and the prices you can't beat!!“

“My kids were so hungry after i9 Sports. So we stopped here. Eli was great. She had lots of patience with my kids and their questions. The food was excellent. Plus they support i9 Youth Sports by allowing us to put flyers in their store. We will be back!“

“Went today because we’d heard this place has amazing food. There’s a reason they’re called “Top Restaurant.” Not only is the food delicious and fresh, but the people we met there were so kind and welcoming. Must-try spot if you’re in Pasadena!“

“I got the torta cubana and my girlfriend got the Suiza because she’s vegetarian. We both really enjoyed our food. Great experience. Only complaint is that they ONLY ACCEPT CASH. It’s 2026…set up a Venmo/PayPal or something. The atmosphere is nothing to rave about. I was going to give them 4 stars because of the cash issue but my girlfriend really wanted me to give them 5 stars so here we are.“

“mac salad! nice n firm, but not too hard w pieces of potatoes“

“So tasty, fresh, clean and healthy as one would desire from Poké. Gourmet selection of super fresh proteins as well as all the toppings to make it exactly as you want. I’m definitely going back.“

“17.99 for a bowl that looked small at first but I was mistaken after eating purple rice. Enjoyed the poke, tofu, and all fixing choices and sauces. Staff is very friendly and patient at explaining all the variety of choices. Will be back again“

“I got a Large Poke Bowl for to-go through DoorDash. It came with a lot of toppings and sides which worked well together. Next time I’ll ask for more sauce as the included drizzle was too little. For about $24 including tax, I got more food compared to similarly priced Poke spots in Pasadena.“

“never been disappointed� food and service are pretty much excellent�“

“Had a fantastic experience at Aloha Stacks! The Hawaiian-inspired food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Loco Moco and Ube Coconut Pancakes were especially delicious, and everything had a satisfying homemade feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the relaxed atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. A great spot in El Monte for a hearty breakfast or Hawaiian-style comfort food—definitely worth coming back!“

“This is a very clean location the workers are kind, great customer service, great food. Love this place.

Parking: Lots of parking

Kid-friendliness: They got high chairs I believe and coloring pages for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have tables for the disabled.“

“Great spot for a quick bite. Staff was friendly and quick with getting your order. Had the Poki Bowl which was great. They give you 3 protein options with unlimited toppings. Had the house spicy sauce and was awesome. Had a good kick, but nothing overpowering. Serving size for the price is also a plus. They are located inside the Commerce Food Court. Searing is great here, they several options form inside with an open sapce, small hall type or outdoor patio area to enjoy your meal.“

“Fish was fresh and flavors were great. Love that they separate the warm rice from the cold poke when you get it to go. The only thing I’d say is beware if you add cucumber: my poke container had a lot of liquid at the bottom from the cucumber salad, which created a bit of an unpleasant texture to the rest of the ingredients that were also at the bottom of the container. But overall, I really enjoyed it!“

“Uh huh! Found my Poke Place in LA.... even the rice is amazing!“

“I have been to a lot of places with similar food as this location. I was taking my mom out to eat and it was our first time there. The lady who was the server was very friendly when I told her my mom was looking for wonton soup and she said that they did have some. It was delicious and very fresh. I got a plate with chow mein and 2 items of choice which were good in portion size. Hands down one of the best orange chicken I have had. I also had bbq pork which was also good. The thing that blew my mind from taste was there smoked porked ribs and their squash with green beans. The ribs were amazing almost like if they specialize in BBQ. Location was clean. I will definitely be returning.“

“Aloha Catering has an amazingly epic ambiance with cool decor and festive for holidays. The patio is very spacious and hands down best Hawaiian local joints in LA. Most Hawaiian restaurants are in Soith Bay OC San Diego and Bay Area. Fortunately we are blessed on Los Angeles to have a venue such as this.“

“I love that they give a lot of free stuff. I call this the one stop shop because we ate, talked and played games. They actually have pretty good games there. I brought 4 friends now and they all loved it! Maybe I should get a commission, hee hee!“

“It was my first time coming here yesterday 9/19/26. I had the combo plate with teriyaki chicken and short ribs. Those where one of the most delicious short ribs I've ever had. They had a lot of meat, and they where very flavorful. The chicken was also delicious, and the mac salad that comes with it. I really enjoyed it.“

“food was fresh, fast and delicious. so glad I went there today“

“I wanted to try this place for the longest time. The No. 44 filled me up, as well as satisfied my taste buds.“

“The food is pretty much the same as locations I visited in in Maui. Although a bit heavy on the carbs, two scoops of rice and Mac salad. The grilled chicken and beef was pretty good, not excellent but good for the price. The interior of the store is cramped hot and not completely conducive to a pleasant dining experience but I'm sure most people take food to go“

“White rice with spicy tuna and hamachi with volcano sauce topped with edamame, cucumber, seaweed salad, crabmeat, and avocado. Perfection. :)“

“Best #poke hidden inside a market. #TheBomb“

“Kevin and Eric are the proprietors and they deliver great poke dishes! Love the food. Love the atmosphere.“

“Incredibly top-of-the-food-chain grade wings from Banh Mi Cafe. Lemon pepper and Thai Chilli flavored ones were Chef’s kiss. Truly a blissful experience. The Garlic Soy Sauce Spring Rolls were not deep fried, more Summer Roll. That one was a sad emoji face. But the Wings overpowered the disappointment of the spring rolls.“

“Been coming here for about 6 years and it’s still my favorite poke spot. The fish is always fresh, the portions are great, and it tastes just as good as it did the first time I came. I’ve tried a lot of poke places around LA County and always end up comparing them to this place.

You can tell it’s family owned because they actually care about the quality and consistency. Nothing fancy, just really good fresh poke every single time. Definitely worth supporting local businesses like this.“

“Love their teriyaki burger on lettuce wrap. Delicious!“

“Heard about this place on theskedge.com and it was good timing, because I was really in the mood for poke. It was pretty delicious. I had some salmon & tuna, with seaweed salad, etc. Not expensive at all either so I definitely recommend.“

“I enjoyed their BBQ chicken bowl. Tasted great, excellent portions, great price, and good service time.

Their menu offers a good variety of BBQ meats, combo and a la carte options, including burgers, at excellent prices.

You can eat very well for $15-and-under, and my bowl was even under $10 (to this senior citizen's delight).

The atmosphere isn't stellar, and you can't see their entire menu due to interior arrangement.“

“What a gem! This place has delicious food for an amazing price. I paid $12 for a plate worth two meals. Unbelievable! You will not find a place in LA in 2026 with food this good for such a steal. They even had Siracha and the staff is super friendly.“

“Absolute worst Hawaiian food on earth 45 minutes I waited for my order and I went through the drive-through“

“If you plan on wanting to eat at home, definitely order ahead..Wait for Pupusas is usually about 20 minutes. The people there are very nice, they have reasonable prices, and I feel like they are consistent with the quality of their food( at least for the last 5 years that I've been going).. my go tos are usually Pupusas de queso con jalapeño and bean and cheese, oh and the loroco ones. Plus an order of yucca frita with chicharron.“

“love the taste.really good“

“I love ❤️ poke! Every time I go there I’m greeted with a smile and all the workers are so friendly. They’re also very accommodating with any special requests.“

“Clean, Neat, Great community and work ethic“

“I give 4 stars for overall, but it is only 2.5 stars for their chicken katsu. They used to make a very good chicken katsu because honestly that is the only menu that I order before for so many years. But lately it has become the worst item, in my opinion. Why? I suspect in order to maximize profit, they use thinner slice of meat, so it is easily over-fried and becomes hard to chew, like eating a piece of wood. Cut the time of frying a little bit so it comes out perfect, please. Other menu has been consistent though.“

“Checked out Anna's Fish Market right in the heart of DTLA and it was a solid spot. I like the location too since you're right in the middle of downtown with plenty of other restaurants and bars nearby. We got the fried red snapper and fried shrimp combo with fries, and both were really good. Nice crunchy batter without being too greasy. We also tried the fish & chips and grilled basa, but my favorite was actually the seafood chowder. Super hearty, packed with flavor, and had a nice kick to it. The ahi poke salad was solid too and gave us something a little lighter to balance out all the fried seafood. The inside isn't huge, but there's still a good amount of seating. Overall, really enjoyed the food and would definitely come back when I'm in Downtown again.“

“Vegetarian options: A good option for healthy comfort, always fresh and very delicious ingredients, it has many options, my favorite is the spicy tuna poke bowl and thanks to Don Salvador for always serving his customers very kindly and with a smile.“
