Hawaiian Restaurants near Venice, CA

“We found this place by of chance needing to use the bathroom whilst walking around Venice and what a great find. Staff are lovely and welcoming and attended to us well. The place was very clean and the food was just right and so tasty. I will be returning when I visit again.“

“If you are looking for a culinary experience that borders on the orgasmic, look no further. I custom-designed a salmon poke bowl that was, quite simply, pure ecstasy. The salmon is so buttery and fresh it doesn't just eat—it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving the next bite before you’ve even finished the first. And the sauces? They absolutely light me up, sets my palate on fire in the best way possible. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep, flavorful seduction. If you want a taste that truly hits the spot, this is the only place to go.“

“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!“

“Last week I was traveling through LA on my way to Santa Barbara. I had some time to kill so I looked up Poke. Came across this amazing place! I am admittedly new to Poke. The staff took good care of me and I wound up having such a hard decision. I think the spicy Poke might have been might absolute favorite. I can’t wait for my next trip to LA so I can stop there again!“

“Very Friendly and comfortable with good food.“

“Best poke bowls in the area (and I’ve tried all of the local places)! Check them out! 🍣“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“No complaints whatsoever. I eat a lot of poke. This shop has totally fresh fish, tasty toppings, and good sauces. I particularly liked the salmon belly, and the sesame dressing plus ponzu combination for sauces. I will be back.

Side note, if you’re considering a franchise like Sweetfin, this is a noticeable level up from that.“

“Delicious food 🍱 We always go back!!“

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

“Closest thing to Zippys with better seasoning and portions of meat I've found. While not exactly a plate lunch as it's not traditionally in the styrofoam it closely represents zippys with higher quality when compared to fare back home. U gotta navigate yourself here since it's in a food hall in a corporate park but free parking helps. Everything is reasonably priced and they have a wide selection especially with their garlic chicken and Portuguese sausage which is hard to find at most places. Solid place that I don't mind returning to just wish they had more locations in oc but I get it.“

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

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

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

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“i came in on a friday night around 7 ish on 5/8 and the cashier was so sweet and attentive. food was good but i really just wanted to write this review so the manager knows that whoever was working the front tonight is an amazing employee and has great energy.“

“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!“

“#23 lemon pepper its the best ��� Great restaurant awesome food great service“

“I went to this location today for Lunch on 06/13/26 the service was nice. The cashier named Mailin was very polite and courtesy. I appreciated her being very helpful when I was placing my order. There were two cooks in the kitchen, I didn't get their names but food taste good and they also give good portions sizes compare to other Hawaiian BBQ places who are stingy on the meat. Thank you guys for a great lunch.“

“What a great local spot to grab a quick lunch plate! I believe they now have a new owner, but the food is still top notch. My go-to is a Combo B with chashu and garlic eggplant! For a quick bite, their teri chicken bowl can't be beat. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but I've always found parking down 16th street. Great customer service!“

“I love this place. I go almost at least once a week. The employees are wonderful. I have never had a bad or sad poke bowl. Everything is fresh. Trying to stay on the healthy side, I order small scoop of rice and all the sides they offer except for wasabi. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, but I have always restrain from getting the large. Two scoops of protein, which consist of tuna and salmon. A lovely alternative to fast foods. I highly recommend Mono Poke!“

“From what I have ordered from them, it has been good. I am about to order again, and after this I will give an honest review of how there food is now, but earlier in 2025, the food was amazing, as of Oct. 2025, IDK the exact quality of the food.“

“Went here with my mother on Friday, September 12, 2025. They have so many delicious looking selections! My mother decided to get the Hawaiian BBQ Trio. It is $15.99 plus taxes. You are provided three different types of meat- pork, beef and chicken and macaroni and rice. I chose the fried rice. It was $13.99 plus taxes. They only advertise the Shrimp Fried Rice and since I'm not a Shrimp fan I asked if I could substitute it for a different meat. The attendant said sure would you like beef or chicken. I opted for the beef. She said no problem and substituted the meat for no extra charge. The food came out very hot within 10 minutes! They also provide bar-b-que sauce for each meal, napkins and forks. We both thought that our food tasted really good. We would definitely go back.“

“The best POKE place in town. Try the Mango Bowl......Great!!!!“

“it's an awesome place to eat and chill with friends“
