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

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

“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!“

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

“My husband and I tried the poke bowls and were absolutely blown away. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A huge plus is that you can mix and customize your bowl exactly the way you want. As a chef, I truly appreciate this level of quality and attention to detail. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back again!“

“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.“

“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! 💙“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Aloha Stacks is a popular Hawaiian-style breakfast and brunch spot known for its large pancakes and spam masubi. It's a family-owned chain located in a tiny plaza at 10300 Lower Azusa Rd in El Monte.

We came very early morning to grab some breakfast. Customers will
need to order on the counter before seating down. Dinning area is neat, spacious with a relaxing atmosphere. We ordered drip coffee, OJ, Avocado omelette and Blueberry Pancakes. Coffee was mediocre in taste except for the fresh juice. Foods were great and tasty. Service was spot on. Staff were assiduous and professional. Prices are competitive. Parking was easy. Overall, I enjoyed an early breakfast.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“Clean, Neat, Great community and work ethic“

“Such a good experience !
I'm thankfull I got to meet that lady during my short trip in LA. Such a breath of fresh air and a lovely experience.
She is patient and welcoming and the food is great ! I mean, just enter the shop and you'll know you'll be eating good tonight.
The portions are huge for the price too. We did 1 serving for both me and my sister, it was perfect. ▶️ 15$ ! That's it !
If I lived here, this would be my go-to for sure.“

“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!“

“The food is very good here. It's way more than a notch above fast food. Prices are more than fair. I could be wrong, but the interior looks almost the same as Shakas did. ... My salmon was cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be back.

Lots of Dodgers love in the place! 💙⚾🧢“

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

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“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“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“If you from Hawaii, born and raised like me, then you know you need da kine grindz thats like back home.

Let me do this in proper English now.
I had the chicken musubi..
and it stay ono! Ok. Hawaii talk coming out. Da buggah stay mean!

I also got the Hula Guava pie, and its like a giant poptart, but with guava in it. That's super ono too!

The food is like back home and I eat at a lot of restaurants back home in Hawaii, and ate in multiple restaurants in different countries, and the mainland.

So if you from Hawaii and try the food, you know you know.
This food is super ono!
I will be back.
Mahaloz! 🤙🏽🌺“

“Clean, Neat, Great community and work ethic“

“I have gone there twice now & both times the staff was very friendly. The food has been & tasted very fresh! I look forward to going back again soon! � Thank you & keep up the good work!“

“The cashier is always so nice!! And the chili oil is amazing. I can only get the chili oil at this location always my go to for something quick! Sometimes they are very busy the line gets out the door sometimes but that just means the food is 👍🏼 definitely recommend if your in the area“

“Never had pokē before, it was really good. Very friendly staff.“

“I love poke in general. It can be tricky to come across a good poke place. I haven't had poke in a long while because of this.
I got salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, and scallops for my protein. White Rice base. Carrots, edamamae, mandarins, cucumber, this soft-crunchy combo topping that looks and tastes like stuffing (actually really good). I didn't know what sauce so I got spicy mayo and this combo the server recommended.

It was all excellent. Loved every bite. Fairly priced and servings were good.“
