Hawaiian Restaurants near Universal City, CA

“OMG this place was literally so good I can't stop thinking about it! My fiance and I came to Universal Studios on June 3rd for the pass member takeover and we stopped by here before we went in. The girls that were working were super friendly especially when I had a question about the sauce and what they recommended. The price was great, the people were great, and the food was great. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting a fresh bite to eat that doesn't leave you feeling bloated!“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“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!“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“I was showing off telling a friend about this place , I have never been , but Mom and sis gave rave reviews all the time , an my nieces always talking about it out at the mall out in 6256 Topanga Canyon Blvd , So after a adventure shopping for materials for a outfit for one of her shows in England , I brought her to the 3rd street one . She loved it Thanks was amazing . Crispy onions and garlic“

“Amazing workers. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing music. Amazing Food. In life there are only a couple of locations I eat everyday; my mom’s kitchen, my neighbors kitchen, arthur’s kitchen, tanya’s kithcen, and pokitonik. I find comfort everytime I come here, whether it’s friendly banter with Mary, or Sushi Burritos made by Arpi. I have been to multiple 5 star restaurants in my life, but nothing even compares to this glorious establishment. Where else can you combine the three of the greatest of things in life into one small building, hot cheetos, boba, and teriyaki chicken. Can’t think of one? That’s because you’ve never been to Poki. If there was a 8th wonder of the world, is would be located right here. I used to resent this building because they replaced Yogurtland, but no more. This is the greatest experience of my life.“

“The portions were phenomenal! Compared to a couple other poke places the pricing felt pleasing and the food was just as good. I got a sushi burrito and a bowl and that sushi burrito filled me up and I ended up saving the poke bowl for later. The staff was great! I don’t know who was serving me but he was extremely helpful since it was my first time there! I can tell the staff knows how to treat their customers well!! :]“

“Their slogan, "Taste the Difference," isn't just a catchy phrase – it's an invitation to discover a poke experience that sets them apart from the rest. When you dine at Poke Loulu, you're not just eating; you're exploring the flavors, textures, and freshness that make your poke bowls truly exceptional.“

“This place is pretty good for quick food similar to L&L BBQ. The food came out quick, was fresh and the people working were nice and friendly. There is limited seating and parking. We ordered the Bento. 1 Teriyaki chicken and 1 katsu chicken. Both came with macaroni, 2 fried dumplings rice and some salad. Overall, this place is yummy for the price! Will come back again!“

“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! 💙“

“Pork belly!!! Awesome!!! I highly recommend this place. Every time I visit this place there is always something new and delicious! Can't wait till I go again.“

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The poke bowl was amazing! Yum!! Ramen it was so so. Other than that! I'm going back 😄😄“

“Food was fresh and delicious! It was very filling and not heavy. I appreciate the portions and presentation. The ladies were very kind and I appreciate the system of checking off everything you want. We took our own drinks and no issues there. Restaurant is on the smaller side (not many tables) but great if it's slow and/or if you want to pick up and eat at home or at a park. A little pricey but worth it!“

“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.“

“Great spot to grab a quick and healthy lunch/light dinner to go! Fast, attentive service, great quality food (the salmon was to die for!), and super quick. We found this place accidentally but it’s definitely going to become part of our regular rotation.“

“This is by far my favorite poke on the mainland. I’ve had a lot of poke but after having sea salt I don’t even bother trying anything else. They have amazing rice bases and great variety of fish and sauces. Could not recommend it enough 10/10
Worth every penny“

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

“Great food and drinks. Happy hour was 3 hours of food and drinks. Amazing. Thanks for a great evening.“

“Yes so good Poke Bar delicious 😋 see you tomorrow 😜😋“

“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.“

“Awesomely great foods, friendly staff, clean place“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“Lulubowls is absolutely delicious. As someone with Celiac, it’s so exciting to find a place with 100% gluten free menu options. This is the first time I’ve had potstickers in probably 10 years!The food is delicious, so full of flavor, and has great portion sizes. My partner and I both got the peanut butter teriyaki bowl with the bamboo rice and added pineapple and peanuts. Can’t emphasize enough how yummy they were! We also got the Impossible potstickers and the avocado Mac salad. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, lulubowls!!“

“Every thing look so yummy n fresh ... Every body pls join n try it at Chinatown Express“

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

“So delicious, amazing service, cute cozy spot! Oh and the sourdough toast is a MUST! We enjoyed our breakfast so much and the portions were great too! Can't wait to go back next time we are in town!“

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

“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.“

“We wanted a quick lunch and we it was late in the afternoon and we decided that poke would be good, and this place was delightful.The fish was fresh and tasty. The kale noodles were wonderful and the pineapple smoothie with boba was amazing. If I get out that way again I'll go back“

“Large plate is pretty filling so come hungry. The crab salad is a great add on if you're lookin for more protein. Sauce option: Ponzu + Spicy Mayo + Sriracha = 👌 btw. this place is Keto Friendly“

“This is my second time ordering from LuLuBowls (one was on postmates), but this was my first time ordering directly from the LuLuBowls website directly (honestly a much better, and streamlined experience).The food quality is superb, I would like to see a larger portion of rice (or the meat add on) in the bowls in the future. The food feels “clean”, not greasy, and is light enough to make you feel satisfied without feeling like you ate too much. The bowls I tried, were all bursting with surprising umami flavors! The ingredients were very fresh. I will certainly be coming back! Thanks LuLuBowls!“

“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.“

“Great staffs with tastytasty food. LOVE IT. London or Taiwan Should have A great restaurant like this.“

“I recently grabbed some takeout, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken katsu on garlic noodles was a knockout - the chicken was incredibly crispy and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly garlicky and addictive. The furikake chicken was another winner, with a satisfying crunch and a sprinkle of that magical Hawaiian seasoning.

Laidback Kids is the perfect spot for a quick and delicious Hawaiian fix. You won't regret it!“
