“Decided to eat here before the Renaissance World Tour at SoFi since it's probably cheaper for the portions. We ordered the mix bbq rice plate with bbq beef and chicken that also came with macaroni salad. Food portion for price wasn't bad. I thought the beef was on the saltier side and needed the rice to balance it out but other than that not bad at all.“
“Food was amazing! Went back and ordered extras because, it was that good. Have strong regrets that we only tried this on our last day in LA but it was absolutely! worth the 20 mins walk we took! Everything we ordered even the basic avocado toast was so delicious!“
“You've got to try Jus' Poke! It's truly the best poke in town, packed with amazing quality and flavor. When I mentioned my long drive home, the staff went the extra mile by packing my poke in separate bags of ice to ensure it stayed fresh and safe. Jus' Poke will always my got-to spot because it never fails to impress!“
“We popped into this gem to have a spot of lunch. We instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. We ordered the Teriyaki Burger (which was SO DELICIOUS!) and the Fried Chicken sandwich (perfectly juicy and tender with delicious dressing), and Hawaiian Fries. We had the frozen Maui Wowis, which were refreshing and sweet! If you’re looking for a cool place to eat delicious food, LOOK NO FURTHER. Here it is!“
“The place itself is tiny, but the service is impressive! The owner himself greeted us and answered questions about the menu, then gave us samples. Ended up getting the Hawaiian Poke combo with 1/2 cucumber and seaweed salad, and a ginger ale. My favorite thing off the menu is hands down the seaweed salad. The poke was good, I think that because it’s intended to be a new take on poke itself, I was a little disappointed. I just happen to love the typical assembly line style of poke where you get to pick everything you want, and that wasn’t an option here, so I felt like there was something missing. It’s really just about personal preferences, but if you really like poke & want to try something different, then I would recommend it!Side note: I didn’t try the ramen, but the entire restaurant smelled strongly of broth and butter noodles, (in a good way) so I would be curious to try their ramen next.“
“Unfortunately they scaled down the fish offering and now have only 4-5 options (spicy ahi, sweet ahi, salmon and shrimp if I recall correctly) but everything is super fresh, handed with a big smile and you have an outdoor area to sit in the sun. Love the place. I would stick to the poke. Tried the meat tacos and the chips with smoked white fish and wasn't blown away.“
“Wife and I were ecstatic upon hearing that Ululani opened shop close to home. We experienced it first in Maui. Other shaved ice shops in Maui and Waikiki couldn't hold a candle to Ululani. Fluffy ice and their syrups taste organic and not too sweet. Our four year-old approved on his first trip to the Hollywood location. This is the best Hawaiian shaved ice by a Maui mile. Hope they stick around long term.“
“Unbelievable restaurant, delicious food, excellent choices, and super friendly staff. Tried the Tuesday spare rib special and was incredible. Furikake chicken was great, and the loco moco is among the best I've ever had. Grabbed a couple musubi to go. Can't wait to come back.Parking: The parking lot the couple times I've been there had plenty of spots.“
“Service is nice and super quick! Nice small place. Bulgogi beef is very delicious, good proportions of meat, rice, and salad. Inari is very filling and plenty bang for your buck! Delicious. Musubi is nice and compact good for on the go snack. Mango & peach shake / slush is very sweet and yummy! Will come back again.“
“Went early afternoon on a Friday and ordered the Pupus Platter and a guava Hawaiian sun. The Pupus Platter came with spam musubi, kalua nachos, macnut onion rings, ahi poke, and teriyaki skewers. They also bring complimentary two small hawaiian rolls with butter. I was well tended to, even though I sat at the counter, and my server did a great job of making sure I had everything I needed. Portion size was huge and is enough to easily feed two people. No complaints on the food - I was pleasantly surprised by the lighter batter on the onion rings and loved the poke and kalua nachos. They used ogonori if I’m correct in the poke, which gives it a similar chewiness to wood ear mushrooms. It’s a very diner style vibe on the inside, especially with the counter being directly of access to the kitchen and coffee counter. The bakery and restaurant are very fluidly accessible in the same open space concept. A huge variety for the bakery, and a selection of Kings Hawaiian rolls are purchasable as well.Parking: Free parking lot behind restaurant“
“An interesting cafe location inside a bowling alley, but it gives you that homey island life like you would find in Hawaii. We ordered a bunch of dishes to try and test out the authenticity and I must say they are all legit. Their Misoyaki Butterfish has a nice texture, a bit of sweetness and flavor from Miso and a buttery taste. The Lau Lau (steamed pork wrapped inside Taro leaves) and Kim Chi fried rice with Portuguese sausages are savory and super flavorful to each bite. The Saimin (Hawaiian soft wheat egg noodles with char siu) is exactly how it should taste just like in Hawaii. We got a Loco Moco plate to go and it did not disappoint because the gravy has a nice texture and flavor to it. We will definitely be back in the near future to try other dishes.“
“This is my early young childhood and adulthood! I love the people here and have been a long time customer for them forever!A bit late for the review but would definitely say that the wait is worth it! Love my chicken katsu plate I get from them <3“
“Great tasting char broiled chicken bowl and the chicken is never dry. The chicken is so tasty with such great texture that teriyaki sauce isn't so completely necessary like other places. In and out in 10 minutes or less usually. Unfortunately, it used to be the best dinner for 3 under $20 because each plate was ~$6. Now, they just raised the price at least $1 per plate so it's over $20.They make Rascals' consistently dry and flavorless beef and chicken seem so unnecessary....“
“This is my new go-to spot when flying in and out of LAX airport. The poke was high-quality and fresh with premium fish cuts. What really stood out was the customer service/the owners - they were warm, kind, and took the time to share with us about their food. You could tell that they are passionate about their business and customer care. There were long-time regulars there, and they just gained a new one ?.“
“This place is a gem, I am so glad to have finally tried their food. There are lots of scrumptious options to choose from and right when I think I've made up my mind on what to get I spot the daily specials board. Mind you I did get in late for dinner so they were mostly sold out of their specials but I did not leave disappointed. The staff is friendly and very attentive, they make you feel like family. The chili is DELICIOUS! I loved it, I even took a pint of it home. Their poke is good, it was marinated with sesame oil and green onions. I also ordered a bento box and the somen salad and brocolli medley were the best parts. Overall a solid place to have a satisfying meal.“
“Three words: Lahaina Fried Chicken! I highly recommend it. These fried chicken nuggets are extremely crispy, tasty and moist. The entree includes rice, macaroni salad and ramen cabbage salad. The portions are pretty big and the prices are reasonable. The decor feels like you're back home in Lahaina. You might get lucky and catch a live band!“
“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.“
“I went to the Local Place. They were serving breakfast only. I bought some great pastries to go. They had mochi donuts strawberry and matcha flavors, 3 flavor cupcakes, passion fruit cake, guava pastry. The selection is plentiful and everything looks so delicious, it was hard to choose. Everything tastes wonderful and flavors are superb. (Sorry I didn't take any photos)“
“I love eating at Auntie's and I can't stop raving about their breakfast burritos! Without a doubt, Auntie's serves up the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. My go-to order is the bacon and Portuguese sausage combo, minus the tater tots, and it never disappoints. Also I love the traditional Hawaiian music that plays as I'm enjoying my food. It always creates a calm and comfortable environment.I've explored breakfast burrito options all over the South Bay and Los Angeles, and nothing even comes close to Auntie's. The flavor profile is absolutely outstanding. The bacon is thick and delightfully crunchy, elevating every bite to a whole new level of deliciousness.What makes Auntie's even more remarkable is their support for law enforcement. They go the extra mile by hosting "coffee with a cop" events periodically, fostering better communication between the public and the Gardena police department. It's heartwarming to see the mayor of Gardena, Chief, and Captain attend these events, demonstrating Auntie's commitment to the community.Auntie's isn't just a restaurant; it's a place where you can savor incredible breakfast burritos and feel good about supporting a business that actively engages with its local law enforcement and community. If you're in the area, Auntie's is a must-visit spot for a truly unforgettable breakfast experience.“
“Good tortas I tried the torta cubana its was big and delicious i definitely coming back to tried a different torta only reason i give them 4 stars is because their salsas aren't spicy they need to incorporate jalapeños or chiles toreados.“
“Great catering service and very authentic Hawaiian food! We dined at the restaurant to test the food and it is ohana style casual. There were a few customers who seemed like regulars. We catered to the valley for a party and were very happy! Thank you Rutt's!“
“Definitely one of my favorite healthy food spots. The location is clean great vibes color is vibrant and the ambience music is great. The food is always great because I like going into eat, but I also order online and deliver because the quality is top notch. There are other similar shops, but this is usually my go to delivery order.Parking: Easy parking in lot and street parking is availableKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“
“My second time here and I ordered the pecan and banana pancake combo with portuguese sausage. The sausage was delicious and the pancakes were amazing. I put a little butter and syrup on the pancakes and think next time I would just use a little more butter and no syrup. The pancakes were sweet just by themselves. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area.“
“This is a no nonsense local restaurant. The smell as you walk in is unbelievably inviting. Smells like real, home cooked BBQ. I ordered the Momona Combo Plate since it’s my first time trying out this place. That combo has BBQ Chicken, Kalbi and Beef ribs. I highly recommend you give this place a try. Your taste buds, your tummy and your wallet will thank you. Also you might try calling in your order ahead of time to avoid a wait as food is made to order.“

“Love this poke spot! Has become my go-to as well as a few friends' now. Prices are fair, a little on the higher side but well worth it for the quality of fish, variety of mix-ins and sauces, and friendly atmosphere!Janine is also great! ?“
“Ali'i offers reliable, no frills poke bowls. The fish itself is fresh and tasty. Just poke and rice alone was pretty steep in price, so I chose to forego the additional toppings costing more than a dollar. The interior is small with no seating, so it's a grab and go type deal.“
“Ordered from Pastrami Champ. Food is good. Strange way of ordering and picking up but it works. Pastrami is delicious. Loved that even though online ordering all my specifications and request were followed. Very filling, not cheap with the portions either.“
“I’m amazed. I was just passing by and decided to have Maui Chicken. DELICIOUS! I ordered salmon and avocado poke bowl, 100% recommend this place. Service amazing, they are very polite. It was a very hot day, I forgot to order water or anything to drink, the owner gave me a cold water bottle before leaving and said “it’s a very hot day outside, have some water”. They literally treat you like family. I saved this place in my favorites, I’m coming back. It wasn’t the free water for me, it was how kind they are here, they are laughing all the time, very nice energy. Food is AMAZING, taste and freshness are incredible. Portions are perfect, not too much rice. The plate comes with rice, A LOT of toppings, salad and mac&cheese for $19. It’s not overpriced at all, I don’t mind paying, when food and service are 5 stars. Thank you Maui Chicken, I’ll be back soon.*Food was so good I couldn’t stop, forgot to take a pic of my plate haha.“
“Thanks to the guys at Anytime Hawaiian for a great local dinner. We were craving some local food and found Anytime Hawaiian right across the Disneyland bus depot on Harbor. Great guys and great food. Thank you. We will definitely be back again. Aloha“
“Don’t get it twisted every L & L Hawaiian is not the same. This is the only one that cooks the curry shrimp right. It’s a hit 10 out of 10 every time. It’s uinder great management. The macaroni in the dinner plate is so good I’ve ordered more. It it's good hot and cold. You should visit. When you do tell them Omar sent you.“
“We LOVE eating @ Taks. There are not many family owned places like Taks. The staff treat you like family so patrons tend to treat each other like family. Every meal is the BEST because of all of the above. Xoxo????? SO THANKFUL FOR TAKS. karen and eddieParking: Large parking lot.“
“Love me some Pono Burger. Super cute, chill vibes, and delicious food. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Great menu selection and an even better happy hour menu! I usually do the garlic truffle fries to start - YUM! Beware: very addicting. For the main dish, i do the salmon burger. Soo good. Amazing flavor with quality ingredients. Their salmon patty is made in house and is topped with heirloom tomato and ponzu avocado spread. The first time i had it, i was hooked - i came back the next day! LOL.“
“This is a fast Chinese food spot food is not horrible but it's not the best. It is one of the better and cleaner looking Chinese food locations I've been to. The service is fast if you're gonna order from the pre made food there and the portions are huge for a good price. If you're gonna order off the menu i recommend ordering that first it will take a little bit longer to get that out. Inside looks a lot better looks like it's been painted and got new signs on the walls. Decent spot good service and fast food.“
“My go to poki spot in DTLA. Fairly priced and not skimpy with the protein the workers know what they're doing! I switch between the poki bowls and the wrap - both are great honestly. There are so many options and compared to spots like sweet fin this is just so much fresher and better in my opinion. It's located inside the grocery store which is nice because sometimes I grab a wrap and do my grocery shopping. You can also take it to go and sit at the tables outside. Super good, a must go.“
“I wanted y'all to see the consistency of their food. The seasoning is great. It's lightly battered. Very tasty. I've only had one issue and it was handled very well. Thé music is good inside. The food always tastes fresh. They work hard to give us great service. I normally get the red snapper with the shrimp. The basa is good too and there's one more that I want to try.“
“First time there, Played, & helped host a Rock & Metal show!! .... Great Resturant, Bar, & venue. They serve some dank Hawaiian food, biggest, wings I've seen at any place. Bar Girls were great!! And they provided excellent service!!! Thank you to all who made 3/11/23 such a great time !!!!! We will definitely be back!!!“
“After fasting for a blood test, it was nice to get a satisfying breakfast. Corned beef hash, over easy eggs and a Span Musubi. (skipped the 2 scoops of rice and bread roll... too many carbs.) Server was sweet. Price was average for the area. Seemed to adhere well to pandemic protocols for restaurant with was assuring. I recommend this place for breakfast, for sure.“
“This is not a build your own poke place and they use flavors that you would find on the island, so the flavors might not be for everyone.But for me, this is the place! When ever I miss home, or even just around, I always come by and grab a bowl.The flavor is excellent. The portions are fantastic. And they got Musubi if you need.Just come early or you’ll get the old stuff.Btw Ginger is my favorite but if you want something more mainland the Cali or Mayo are friggin good too. Go experiment. Try something new ?“
“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“
“I love Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe. The staff is so nice...But I come for the foooood! Especially the MEATS! This is the best BBQ, Hawaiian or otherwise, for the BEST prices and the biggest portion. I love them. P.S., they also do great takeout for the same big-portion-for-small-price-PLUS-sauce experience!“
“I had a super weird experience here the other day, but as their food is always good, I'll let it pass for now. We have stopped going to other places in the area due to how managers treat their employees. In this case, it was a manager who kindly corrected their employee, but it was still weird what the employee did.I'm not going to go into details, but I was impressed with the way the manager did not belittle the employee, but did make sure I knew they would be talked to.I was not the perfect patron in this situation either, as I was on an important call and tried to do the transaction the first time before wrapping up the call.I ended up finishing the call and coming back in to learn that the transaction could have been made easily, but alas, perhaps me being on the call made the person not want to help me easily. Either way, we will still be returning as I appreciated the situation for what it was and I was impressed with the manager.“
“The poke here is good, and the portions are fair. I got the salmon poke, because earlier this week I got the tuna poke from somewhere else. I would definitely comeback and have the poke here. I must admit, I was tempted in upgrading my review to this place because the Del Amo Mall was pretty dead when I got here. I didn't want to overhype a good restaurant to potentially disappoint future customers.“
“Ok so far so good good service it's 12:41am and they still cooking I like that about this place ordered a nice meal chicken combo Hawaiian BBQ there making it fresh can't wait to taste my food the atmosphere is nice and clean so that's a plus so far so good I don't understand why some people complain and say that it's bad my experience is so far a good one just waiting on the food to see if it's good or nasty it smells delicious can't wait to taste the food ....................... (A few minutes later) now it's 12:58am tasted the food it's delicious I do recommended“
“Love this Chinese fast food joint, their fried rice, chow mien, orange chicken, and spicy fish always hits the spot! I use to eat this everyday but obviously I was slowly killing myself, great food tho!! The donut shop across is delicious too!Parking: Parking is shared by the plaza, but security there is nice enough to help/guide you safely.“
“The Poke is great. The bowl sizes are really based on the number of fish scoops. Get large! Get 3 scoops.Staff person was super cordial.Ambiance poor. Their outside tables not wiped down. Not enough staff? Bring your own water avoid plastic!“
“Great spot for some quick Chinese food! It's about $9 for one meat and lo mein/rice. The coconut shrimp was really good and they give you a lot. Could have been hotter tho lol makes me wonder how long it was sitting there for. Quick and friendly service.“
“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“
“Food was great, they provided well services when ordering, and dining in felt comfortable. If you prefer not to eat everything. Then you could simply change the order of plate you’re eating to be “all sides” so you can have separate containers of the food. Meaning you’ll be able to save whatever you won’t eat for later and just eat the ones you want.“
“The food is amazing and our favorite and 90% of the staff is rad. There’s a younger girl that works there that refuses to make the bobba drink that they advertise. They’re either out or the machine is broke, but ONLY when she’s working. The taller young guy always makes it hands down and with a great attitude. I always thought she was lying but today I just saw the young guy over hear me try to order one so he attempted to make one and she stopped him dead in his tracks and gave him that look. I just laughed and shook my head. To the gentlemen, you’re going places. Keep it up. To the young lady…smfh.“
“I spotted this place on imperial and crenshaw and decided to go in and see what this location was about. It was very busy for dinner time and the young man that took my order was very pleasant And answered all my questions with professionalism and patience. I really enjoyed my meal. Thank you! I'll be “
