“good quality fish, simple straightforward poke ingredients for a fair price and efficient service. I go here every week with my son and he won’t eat anywhere else for poke. Definitely recommend for pickup!Kid-friendliness: If your kiddo likes raw fish this place is a great fun way for them to make choices about their dinner. Good simple options which doesn’t overwhelm and works well for little (and big) tastes.“
“My friend and I both chose the small bowl (2 fish). There’s plenty of food. Many choices of each category including sauce. I went with signature; friend went with volcano 2 which is medium spicy and liked it. I chose non-spicy because, with pickled ginger and seaweed salad it is already flavorful enough for me. No line at 5pm on Friday. Food is fresh.Recommended! Also plan to try this chain at other locations.Parking: Arrive around 5pm. Plenty of parking.“
“The hype is real. Owner is great, staff are nice, and food is delicious. Ordered volcanoe chicken bowl, teriyaki chicken with veggies, and tropical orange chicken plate. Found a new favorite rice bowl place :) Come early though. Seating is limited and when there's a dinner rush, thats an understatement. We'll be coming back again.“
“Got the opportunity to stop in again and cure the craving for the garlic chicken that haunted my soul. The best part of anytime Hawaiian bbq is the convenience to walk from any of the convention center or Disney hotels and the prices are so reasonable for the flavor and amount of food you get to enjoy! After a long day of walking a garlic chicken plate and a spam musubi will fill the belly and make a happy soul! No joke the garlic chicken is crave worthy!!“

“OMG!!!! So delicious.... My husband and I had the hungry faka plate to share and that plate could have fed 3-4 people. Everything was perfectly cooked and so yummy. The service was amazing definitely with aloha. If your in there area definitely worth checking out. It's like a food court of different food ethics. But easy to find. We definitely would return. Pictures only say so much too.“
“Wow! Dennis and his team have got it figured out. I came here with my friends to try out different items. We ordered the soy garlic glazed salmon, garlic furikake chicken, garlic butter shrimp, chicken katsu sandwich, and the kalbi beef short ribs. We also ordered sugar, ube creme filled, guava creme filled, and mango creme filled malasadas. For our refreshments, two of us had limeades while my friend and myself had the ube horchata. Everything was delicious. We were very pleased with our orders. The salmon was my favorite. There's seating inside and outside. Best for parties of 2-4. Great for take-out. Service was friendly and quick. Free parking in the plaza.“
“I was surprised at first by the menu because it is somewhat different than other poke places, but this is BY FAR the best poke I’ve ever tasted. The rice, the quality of fishes, the sauces, everything about that poke was delicious. Great service too which adds to the experience.“
“This place saved my sanity when the kids didn't like what we actually had for lunch. The kids quieted down and scarfed down the chicken katsu. The meat was white, thick, and tender. The batter was lightly covered with crispy panko. There was plenty of rice for the two little kids to share. The mac salad was not as creamy as I am used to because it had canned tuna in it, but it was nice to have something a little different from other places. The seating area was spacious, and there was a self-service soda fountain with fresh tasting water. This restaurant was the perfect find for my tired kids.“
“Holy. Mole.I was getting ready to have a hearty dinner as I did some of my work. And then I took my first bite.Infinitely tender, decadent, scrumptious salmon overwhelmed all of my senses.It was perfectly mixed with avocado and spicy mayo in such a way that it made me just put all of my work away as I focused on the bowl.Damn.You don’t get many days on Earth eating a meal like this.12/10. The worker was also kind enough to let me split the bowl between separate bases.“
“The owners are so welcoming and the atmosphere is so cozy. The service was quick and done well. The sushi was so soft and it was fresh. The prices were great for the amount of food you get. Overall a very great experience and I’m definitely returning.“
“The most authentic Hawaii experience you can find outside of Hawaii! Not only was the storefront decorated with Hawaii themed memorabilia that made me feel at home but the service and food was A+We ordered two spam musubi ( a Hawaii classic) the Teri Mix Plate and Seafood Mix Plate.First off, everything is made to order NO food is sitting around and the food is FRESH!All the food was excellent and had amazing flavor reminding me of home! The spam musubi and Mac salad were amazing and it felt like I was still in Hawaii!I 1000% recommend this restaurant and you should definitely stop by when coming to Disneyland!P.S. We would have taken pictures but we ate the food too quickly it was that delicious!Thank you again Aunty Cheryl for all the kindness and great service!“
“This place is a gem! Part of an indoor co-op. Food is bomb, fresh, and ready fast. Pricing is a little high but it is Newport so it's to be expected across the board. Service was friendly and helpful.Highly recommend them for great Hawaiian food in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa.“
“Great, friendly staff with a desire to make your bowl jus the way you like it. Fresh ingredients and clean. Pick your base of white or brown rice, spring mix or combination of two. Large chose of toppings and good selection of pure proteins. No premixed here. I love choosing my level of heat to my bowl and how it's tossed with the proteins. I recently watched a new employee learn the placement of the toppings. Who knew there was a system to adding your favorite toppings to your poke bowl? It's this kind of detail and care that I highly recommend OC Poke. Ps while they never brought back the inside seating after Covid, there are tables outside that share a lovely courtyard area.“
“Chose this place without expectation after hours of play time at Kid's Empire, an indoor playground nearby. We were tired and hungry and ready to grub. Guess what? THE FOOD WAS BOMB!!!My son and I shared the CHICKEN COMBO -Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki with rice and macaroni salad. Huge portion. Chicken was cooked perfectly and Mac salad was on point! I'd order it again.My husband enjoyed his SEAFOOD PLATTER -Fried Shrimp, fried fish with rice mac salad. Huge portion too. They also had boba drinks. We tried the mango slush with Boba and was a little sweet for my liking but still good.Customer service was great! The young girl who took out order was nice and helpful and the older lady who maybe the owner was really nice and offered us water and check on us making sure we were okay.Will be back if we are in the area.“
“My Hawaiian friend vetted this place, so you know it's good. We tried the chicken, shrimp platter, and poke. The spicy garlic poke has a bit of a kick to it and is very flavorful. Skip the octopus side unless you're a big fan of ginger. There are only two benches outside to dine at but the setting definitely fits the island vibe that the restaurant has. Enjoy!“
“This place is amazing!! My daughter and I cannot eat out a lot because of multiple allergies and this Hispanic girl we didn't get her name but she was so kind and accommodating kept checking on us the service was top notch we really enjoyed ourselves and we will drive the 20 minutes to go to that location it is so worth it!!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free blueberry pancakes and waffles“
“One of my two favorite poke places in OCLove this place, the food quality is always fantastic and food quality is consistent.Service is friendly and welcome.The prices are very reasonable.I have tried many bowls, they are all great, and the Traditional Shoyu is probably my favorite. Don't overlook the handrolls which are great as well. The Poke Nachos are a good change of pace.“
“Absolutely delicious, enough for me to come into help and leave a review. IMO, it gave me a little touch of Hawaii without actually being in there... because unfortunately we can't book an island vacation with bills looming around the corner if you know what I mean . (I ordered a loco moco plate and a musubi)“
“I heard about this place from some friends of mine who came here to eat. I'm hesitant about eating Hawaiian food because not a lot of people know how to make it even though they own a Hawaiian food restaurant. So I checked it out. I ordered the beef ribs, and it came with Mac salad (no potatoes) and 1 scoop rice and small spinach salad.The beef ribs came out huge but not a lot of meat on them, however very flavorful. My wife ordered the poke and you could tell that it was fresh, it was very good. They had a few different types. She had ordered the Calhi poke . A lot of times, it depends on who is cooking. We totally enjoyed it, the day we went, so do you wanna check out a Hawaiian food place?Try this place out,it may surprise you.“
“You truly can't get any better Hawaiian food in California. Yes it's slightly more expensive than others, but it's totally worth it.If you're coming with 2 or 3 people, grab their 35$ big kahuna plate, it'll more than cover everyone.“
“This is our second visit to this restaurant and we just have to order the Da “Spicy” Plate again because it has the best combination. This plate comes with a combination of their Guava Chili Pepper Chicken, Spicy Ahi Poke, Crispy Korean Chicken, Rice & Mac Salad. Both chickens are worth trying, they’re so good. The spicy ahi poke sauce is sticky, and sweet, with a little hint of spiciness! If you want to try a little bit of everything this plate has the best combination as you can try 3 different things from their menu. Definitely coming back again!“
“I am a big fan of the Spicy Tuna and Spicy Salmon. Me and my crew stopped here Thursday for lunch and it was delicious. I got a Spicy Tuna bowl. Fresh made tuna with a great taste. Place is inexpensive place. Great staff and food. I will be a regular.“
“10/10 service! Ordered family meals and spam musubi over the phone on July 4th and the person taking my order was so helpful and courteous! Payed over the phone and picked up and the same person gave amazing service. Kudos to her!! 10/10 food! Ordered for my daughter and her teenage friends and they ate it up! Portions were HUGE. I really enjoyed the mild volcano sauce and all the sauces. Also loved the free pickled jalapeños too! Overall - would definitely order here again for a large group!“
“My go-to is the monster bowl medium spice, with tuna and salmon. I definitely recommend adding the avocado. It's worth the Upcharge.The portions are really good, and the fish always tastes fresh. There is a good selection of toppings as well. I would definitely recommend it as a quick lunch spot.“

“For the past four years, my family has made the pilgrimage to Newport for Thanksgiving week. Every time, I make a point to hit Stacks. I love the food, the outdoor seating, the vibe, and the Mexican Spiced Hot Chocolate. Loco Moco - 9/10 - this is my go to here. Make sure to get it with the Fried Rice. Strawberries and Cream Waffle - 10/10 - best waffle I've ever had (but I do love strawberries!)Banana Pancake - 10/10 - I didn't have this, but my adult daughter said it was the best pancake she has ever had. And she's a pancake nut. Mexican Spice Hot Chocolate- 10/10 - I just love this. I always order it in a to-go cup. Great hot chocolate with a hit of cinnamon.“
“A solid breakfast option in Irvine The menu seemed very familiar.. but that's a good thing I love that there is a lot of Hawaiian inspiration You could choose to play it safe with breakfast classics like omelettes or eggs Benedicts or select an item that you cannot get anywhere else like their Hawaiian (coconut and macadamia nut) latte or delectable guava French toast Oh my gosh the toast was so addicting I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all without more strawberries/something fresh but it was just toooo good and crisp and satisfying My mouth is watering just by the memory of them The service was great, there's space to eat inside but I chose to enjoy the wonderful outdoor seating options (there are heaters outside as well!).“
“Came by on a weekday night about 30 minutes til closing time. The dining area was closed off for dine-in (Togo only). Had the 2-Protein choice and had the Tuna and Salmon with all of the toppings along with a splash of Yuzu Citrus. Overall it was a decent meal in terms of taste but the portion sizes were a bit small.“
“This place is probably one of the better locations nowadays. Love coming here after classes and grabbing a plate. The dipping sauces go great with the proteins. I usually get the short ribs and katsu combo with an extra side of Mac salad since it's enough for another meal. Service is pretty fast too.“
“First off the fish is so fresh and delicious!!! The texture is outstanding and the taste is divine, I can’t recommend the salmon enough!!! For first time visitors that don’t know what to order I definitely recommend the poke burrito it’s so fresh and delightful with every bite sometimes I find myself ordering 2, but wishing I bought a 3rd or even a 4th! They also have baked options for those out there whom aren’t ready to make the leap into their raw menu! Poke Me is a must visit location everyone should experience at least once (a week) you will definitely not regret it!!!“
“Surprisingly good! I got the Chicken Katsu which was the best I have had in a while, it was very crispy and the chicken was not dry. I also got an additional order of a small macaroni salad which was very good. I also found the price to be reasonable for the amount of food you get. I'll be returning and would recommend anyone trying this place.“
“We doordashed Chicken Katsu, Macaroni Salad, and Spam Musubi. They're open late at night which is pretty nice! I believe this is a ghost kitchen but they're still so delicious and give generous portions! One of my go to spots to order. Chicken Katsu (5/5): Macaroni salad is creamy and delicious, pairs well with the rice and katsu. Katsu is crispy, moist, and well seasoned. We love how much katsu comes in one box! Its enough for two people to share and still have leftovers. Spam Musubi (3/5): Spam was really soft and a bit undercooked. Lots of rice compared to spam ratio.“
“Had lunch here today and did not disappoint. I ordered the seafood noodle bowl and it took a bit longer than everyone else's order but it was worth the wait. Hot, perfectly cooked noodles, tasty shrimp. Loved it. Restaurant was clean including bathroom. Staff was nice. Food served in a timely manner. I would gladly go back.“
