Hawaiian Restaurants near Whittier, CA

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

“I went to Aloha Stacks for breakfast on July 3rd. When I got there the line was out the door, but it moved pretty quickly. We ordered and got a table very easily. The food came very quickly and the wait staff was very attentive, checking to see if we needed anything several times. I had the chicken katsu and waffles and my companion had strawberry crepes and a side of kalua pork. All were delicious. It was very busy but they didn't rush us out. Parking is difficult...I parked on the street nearby.“

“I’ve been looking for a poke place and happened to find this little place. Went there once and the gentleman was very nice and helpful in the selection. My husband and I tried it at home and it was spectacular! Came back today and they were so generous in the quantity. I could say the best poke place I’ve eaten! If only I could afford eating at this place everyday, I would!“

“This poke bar is outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with excellent customer service. The staff was incredibly patient and took the time to walk us through the menu, helping us navigate the variety of proteins and sides for our poke bowls. Every bite was a delight, from start to finish. I can't recommend it enough—it's delicious, healthy, and totally satisfying!“

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

“Classic Hawaiian BBQ spot, serving the community for many years now, the food here is amazing, the best chicken katsu in my opinion, the food quality has been consistent over the years, they always give you more than you can eat so you will definitely have leftovers, I recommend ordering all mac and no rice, the mac salad here is amazing, sometimes I come here and just order the mac salad, can't go wrong, definitely worth every penny. Also, the food is cooked to order, dont be surprised if you wait 20 mins for your food, the wait is worth the quality 👌“

“Was in the area and saw this poke spot was close. I stopped in and the food looked really fresh and there was plenty of people inside and it was only 11:30. I ordered the large with 5 scoops and it filled me up. If I’m back in the area I will definitely have to stop and eat again“

“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.“

“it's a friendly place with alot of happy smiles, it's food is great! best Hawaiian food I've tasted in a while... u can usually catch the owner at the shop and is always willing to talk to u as if u are part of the family.“

“This is always a great spot for a quick lunch bite when craving Hawaiian Food.

Its a small business privately owned and service is always good here. Ambience is not much to write about - its functional and good for a quick lunch bite. They've have got a few small tables to grab a quick lunch and food is in the mark.

My goto dishes here are Garlic Shrimp Plate, Chicken Katsu and Beef BBQ. Can't go wrong withe either of these.

Always a good experience getting food from here !“

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

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

“Great experience. I received some food from a friend and was told about how nice the employees were from Zach, Crystal, and Ken.

I heard about how there was a company loyalty program and the food itself was 44g of protein. Will stop by here again! 👍“

“All day breakfast and great prices!“

“For someone who adores beef, their beef bowl is da bomb, big and juicy just the way I like it. My boyfriend also had the big bros house special and I honestly don’t know which is best cause the sauce is heavenly.“

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

“Amazing! The whole family eats here. Ribs are unique and usually aren't served anywhere, but really like how they are one of the only ones to serve it. Katsu and the chicken are always my favorite. I do however recommend that they have a different sauce instead of a house sauce. A regular teriyaki sauce would be really good, which is something I suggest.

The person working at the front is amazing! One man show during peak hours sometimes and I always see him working hard. Keep it up!“

“First time ordering Poki bowl so I wasn’t sure what to expect. There is a build your own bowl menu card that you fill out. I had some questions and the chef was very helpful, he answered all my questions and I asked for some suggestions, he was spot on. I also ordered a cooked salmon dish. He was very friendly very helpful and the food was DELICIOUS ! And so very yummy! 😋 I will be back“

“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!“

“Stopped to eat here on my way home from hiking in Angeles National Forest. Best poke bowl I have had yet in California!!! So fresh and staff were so lovely. Great spot also to sit outside and eat. Will 💯 be my forever spot for poke after a long hike.“

“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.“

“great Poke. And u can put on your own toppings after your bowl is made as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family has loved this restaurant for decades. I plan my family trips around when we can stop at matiki’s all their food is good but their teriyaki steak is unlike anybody else’s. ❤❤ I get the steak plate with spam musubi on the side 10/10 recommend!“

“The best quarantine comfort food! Love this place! 😋“

“sooooo good!“

“Best poke place in the area! Service is quick, staff is always friendly, the food is good and prices are reasonable.

Along with the flavor, another one of my favorite things about this place is they are not skimpy. I usually get a large and can spread it out over two days because it is so filling. The fish scoops are packed and they hook it up with the toppings and sauces.“

“Plate lunches here are just as delicious as on the Hawaiian Islands. First, the garlic butter shrimp...I will dream about it. Second, the bbq chicken was tender and oh-so flavorful on its own; no need for the dipping sauce although the sauce IS super tasty. Next, the rice is topped with furikake and sesame seeds. Sadly, the spicy pork flavor is excellent, but I don't like how it's in small pieces. I referred to it as shrapnel pieces, and my BF thought that was a precise phrase for it. We were disappointed that the gochujang wings were not available on a weekend night at 6:30pm. This a food court location, so if you want to eat hot & fresh, you need to find a table two stalls down in a small inside area with about 6 tables or outside with about the same amount of tables.“

“Best poke ever!!!“

“Have come here a couple of times already for takeout: for their poke and sides. The place is usually not so busy so there’s not much of a weight. I love that the ingredients always taste fresh and you can always order sides for takeout in case you want to mix it up with some other things you have at home.

Staff is usually pretty nice and efficient. They have plenty of tables on the inside for dine-in and restroom on site too.

Parking lot is usually busy bc it’s shared with other shops in the plaza but it’s not too bad.

Love that they’re open daily. :)“

“What an enjoyable meal! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. The team was welcoming and attentive, making sure we had a great dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used. I also liked the balance between casual and elegant in the restaurant’s design—it felt both comfortable and stylish. This is a spot I’d recommend for families, friends, or even a solo meal. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Delicious bbq Hawaiian style chicken with rice and macaroni salad 😋“

“We really enjoy the Loft Hawaiian food. They closed the really big nice one in Torrance and now there are multiple small ones with simple decor. The food is still amazing but the atmosphere is a bit less than the big restaurant was. I recommend everything but my favorite dishes are. Lomi Salmon, spam musubi, island style fried chicken, lau law and of course the kalua pork. It seems like everything comes with rice and macaroni salad. 😋 so good. I don't think you can go wrong here everything is delicious.“

“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!“

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

“I am from out of town i am here visiting my sister in the hospital. I was looking for a good teryaki plate for my wife and I. I read reviews and I decided to try hi bbq. The customer service was great,the price was good and the food was excellent. The ginger dressing was tangy and really good for the salad. The chicken and steak was flavorful and the macaroni salad was really good. Until my sister comes home this will be the place we will go to. If you are looking for really good food at a good price I highly recommend hi bbq. Also the staff was really nice and the place is very comfortable.“

“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“

“Mission Viejo Stacks - Terrible Service with an Attitude. Brought us someone else's order twice. Finally correct order showed up. Eggs were delivered first cold. Went to Check on Pancakes 5 Staff Standing Around Talking. Was told Pancakes were coming. After 10 minutes they finally arrived. Other Customers were having Service Problems Too.“

“The food was delicious, fresh and seasoned well at perfect temperature. The price was reasonable with the hearty portions served. The restaurant was Very clean and staff extremely friendly. My 2nd time there in a month. I'll definitely be back!“

“Nice and fast service!!! 😉“

“Good food good service good portions“

“I've been coming here for years to get my Hawaiian food fix.

All the dishes are yummy, but my favorites are the beef plate (comes with beef, rice, and Mac salad) and the masubi.

Service was quick. Waited about 10-15 min for fresh food made to order so it's not lying around in food warmers.

I didn't eat here because I usually take my food to go, but the dining area is pretty spacious with lots of seating.“

“Absolutely outstanding service. We walked in right before closing, totally wiped from work, and the two women working there were so warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel like welcome guests instead of late customers. Fast, friendly, and genuinely caring service. We’ll definitely be back.“

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

“I was very good..love the services..can't wait to go again.“

“The food is delicious �“

“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.“

“I came after my nieces softball game at Norwalk high School. I have been looking for a good local Chinese fast food location. The quality of the food is tasty. They cut your teriyaki chicken when you order it, but I did happen to come when they were near the end of their coconut shrimp (still tasty). I am a fried rice only so I can't say how delicious the chow mien is. I would gladly recommend and if they were closer, this would be my go to spot for Chinese fast food.“
