“I love this chain Hawaiian bbq spot and always stop by for their spam musubi’s. The musubi’s were delicious and I got them super easy easy rice.I’d definitely come back again and just be aware that parking is busy during peak times but worth the wait. Id definitely come back for their other menu items.“
“This location is fairly new. The furniture already has damage to the seating. The food was correct and hot. Very delicious and the service was quick and rapid upon ordering. This location has exceeded my expectations from a prior disapproval. I like the seating just really cold with the AC blasting especially when it was pouring out. I will return with good expectations for a good meal once I return again.“
“This place is a 10/10 for sure! I can honestly respect the honesty from the owner as he did let us know before hand it would take an hour for the food to be ready. Totally worth the wait!!!! The food was made fresh to order and had so much flavor. I mean the shrimp plate was so delicious, everything we purchased was so delicious. Definitely going back again and trying different items.“
“Interior is small but parking is decent, and I think the food is hit or miss depending on what you order. But for the most part the fried chicken katsu is a good option; the bone in fried chicken that others seem to like was a little dry for me. There is a catering menu and seemingly they are a good option for gatherings. The owners work here and are very sweet Asian couple. They will always smile and engage in conversation with you. Top Restaurant has been in business for a long time so they are doing lots of things right!“
“I usually go for the short ribs (which are phenomenal), but I thought I’d try the grilled garlic shrimp for a slightly healthier option. Unfortunately, like the other review said, it’s pretty nasty. They should call it “slightly battered jarred garlic shrimp” instead. The mac salad is delicious though.“
“Pretty cool spot that opened in the same plaza as Bonchon, Paris Baguette and Katsu Sando. This is unlike any other poke place I've had since you order via the robot and they make your food in the back. Other spots is like Chipotle style. That being said, the 'small' portion was pretty hefty but also a bit on the pricey side. Good quality fish though.“

“I decided to try this since my husband was having lunch in his hospital room and this was right across the street in the same building my hotel is in. The poke was fresh and delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The place was also clean which is very important to me.“
“Our server was top notch, very aware of our table....a joy to have as wait staff! Food was incredible, prep was top notch, portion sizes were varied. General atmosphere was tiki lounge lite, a fun, Cali casual/island theme very comfy. Bartender knew her way around mixology....no complaints!“
“A hidden gem in Alhambra for macadamian pancakes – a quaint spot with a laid-back vibe. The menu's simplicity adds charm, and the pancakes, though a tad heavy, are a delightful indulgence. The incredible cream topping elevates the experience, and while the coffee is decent, the overall ambiance ensures a memorable visit. Highly recommended for those seeking a cozy pancake haven.“
“I came through because I have walked through this little alley with friends and always see this tiny little cat-logo sushi shop. I came by on a whim expecting some fast foody simple rolls which would have been fine. But I was surprised when the salmon roll came out, and it was immediately obvious the fish was really nice quality and the roll looked as good as some of my favorite sushi restaurants. Very impressed!“
“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.“
“Hello my Yelpies,IF YOU WANT AUTHENTIC POKE? YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. I've been searching long and hard for an authentic Hawaiian poke bowl for the longest time. I am looking for something that is just fish and sauce, i don't want all the unnecessary items, like peas, crab meat, etc. If you are like me than Pisces is the place to go. Parking here isn't too much of a headache, there's plenty of spots right in front. And you know it, I came here for one thing and one thing only. POKE! I must say if you like spicy you have to try their ALWAYS SPICY. That is definitely my go to order. It comes with delicious chewy rice along with some edamame and if I'm feeling a little extra I will order their masubi which are both bomb af!!! Service is great as well! I can't wait to come back again. Overall, 5 stars for food and service.“
“Their poke bowls are pretty good. I just wish they would add a little more raw fish and use tastier imitation crab. I also think they need to cover their toppings, as they’re exposed to air and not very sanitary. But, I like the fact that it’s quick to order and easy to customize my poke bowl.“
“Generous portions, tasty food, awesome topping selection, great price, and very attentive to our daughter’s allergies! We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Tofu option for protein, lots of veggie toppings.Dietary restrictions: Our daughter has allergies to dairy, nuts and eggs. They made sure to note it on her order and took care not to cross contaminate.Kid-friendliness: Fun atmosphere, attentive to our daughter’s allergies and she really enjoyed filling out her order slip and picking out all of her own toppings.“
“A spot right on the corner in uptown Whittier. My husband and I were walking down the street and didn't know what to eat. Whittier is home away from home. We used to live nearby and take in all our favourite foods. We happen to be in the area and see all the updated shops and restaurants. We decided to try something new and We were so glad we did. Teriyaki Bistro was so welcoming when we walked in. We chose our option of plate/bowl and our toppings. I thought the toppings were a fun little treat. We waited less than 10 min for our food and ate downstairs. The restaurant was clean and had everything you needed. The restroom is located inside that needs a key. Don't worry you can't lose the key... It's attached to a metal serving spoon ?Save some room for dessert. They have ice cream sandwiches.“
“Super solid poke spot - the fish is fresh and they give you a HUGE portion for the price. They charge extra for certain random toppings which I didn’t love, but overall the value for the price was very high. The staff was slow and seemed overwhelmed, but that’s my only complaint.“
“This place is absolutely the best. We now have two Hawaiian bbq restaurants in the same small area. This one has the hometown feel. It's the one that is family owned and worked! They don't have fancy leis but they have a huge menu, and really good food! If you want the hometown feel.. and yummy delicious food.. come try the best Hawaiian bbq in South Pasadena!“
“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 recommend this place 100% new and improved very good quality food very fresh workers are very friendly good attitude and they give good recommendations for your food and feel free to ask any recommendations also very clean and organize one more time 100% recommended“
“Been looking for a poki place in the area and this place came through! The fish was fresh and tasty. The young lady there was extremely helpful. It was my first time there and she walked me through it all. I took it to go, but the place wasn't busy during lunch hr. I will definitely be back again.“
“This is a hidden gem! The food is fresh to order. I've only tried the pupusas revueltas and tacos de carne asada. It's a small location but definitely worth a try. It's an interesting combination of different foods. The cooks are really sweet and the gentleman at the register is friendly. There are only about 6 tables with 4 chairs each, but if it's only you and your date it's perfect. The decor is a lot of Salvadoran art and some plates with Salvadoran currency. It's cute for a date to chat and have some good food.“
“I just had a bridal shower at Aloha and I can’t say enough about how happy I am. All of my guests were in heaven loving the food…the service was above and beyond outstanding…and Kokorono Coffee kicked butt serving his unique hot and cold coffee, matcha and hot chocolate blends. I will definitely have another event here and highly recommend that you all do too! Thank you Jen, CJ, Curtis and staff for making my event perfect!“
“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.“
“One of the best poke spots to come to if you're in the area!! They have a variety of sauces that you could combine to make your own special sauce, i really recommend the sesame shoyu and miso honey for that sweet and savory taste!! Their service is fast and their employees are friendly and very accommodating, the atmosphere in here is calm and welcoming and is perfect for getting work done.“
“Let's start this with a heavy hitting they make fresh made to order sesame balls . Losing my mind how great they are. It's rare to find any in the area so I was beyond excited to come across this place by chance. I only ordered the noodles besides the balls ?.... Didn't disappoint equally as Delicious. I love that they add veggies too that noodles for extra flavor. The staff super friendly will be coming again for sure.“
“This place is very delicious. I received the Lemon Pepper Tilapia. Prices are very reasonable. Customer Service was great! The only thing I disliked was the Sriracha provided. They had the original roster Sriracha on display but we were given the cheap Vinagre knock off.I will definitely be returning and becoming a regular.“
“I think that categorically this is "inauthentic" poke but good lord is it amazing anyways. Extremely filling, very tasty, and I love how everything besides protein is complimentary. A bit expensive for my taste, but I do come from a place with a lower cost of living. The masago is incredible.“
“TK Cafe Hawaiian BBQ in uptown Monrovia provided a satisfying experience all around. It’s a small family-run counter serve operation with great Hawaiian inspired plate lunch comfort food, especially for meat lovers.The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons mall at the southwest corner of Myrtle and Foothill, so plenty of free parking. The chef and manager Ken took my order and was very friendly and helpful to recommend certain specialties on their menu.I ordered the Chicken Combo (BBQ Chicken and the crispy Katsu Chicken) and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix (BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, and substituted Teriyaki Chicken in place of Kalbi Beef). Both plates come with two scoops of white rice and a scoop of Mac Salad. See images.Their BBQ Chicken is definitely a specialty, flavorful, and both combos I received were a generous serving of the moist and flavorful chicken.I would go back the next time I’m in the mood for Hawaiian plate lunch and would recommend 5 stars compared to other local counter serves in Monrovia.“
“Generous Servings, High quality seafood, and fresh vegetables!! Better than every other poke bar for 20 miles. Healthy Ponzu sauce! No excess sugar!(The bowl sizes have gotten a lil bit smaller recently)Vegetarian options: Tofu proteinDietary restrictions: Easy Meal for Keto or Pescatarian! Base choice of brown rice, white rice, or full salad.Parking: Only 2 parking spots in lot, plenty of steet parking just off Colorado Blvd.Wheelchair accessibility: One low step up, but there is a handicap parking“
“This is a regular place to order lunch. I never eat in ambience is not that great but I see people eating lunch on the outside patio chairs all the time so it’s about 20 bucks for a large pokey, figured it’s healthy it’s gonna be more expensive you know it’s just a bunch of protein in brown rice and salad in a bowl. Good healthy option as compared to what else is out there during the work week.“
“Clean environment, reasonable prices, large portions (poke bowl), friendly & professional owners! Haven't even begun to describe the food, which is AMAZING! Very good quality. I've only ever gotten poke bowls but I need to try the sushi soon. 5 stars all across the board!!! BTW, they close at 8:30pm not 9pm. I came at about 8:25pm thinking they were open until 9pm and they served me with a smile!! Add this place into your take out rotation, you don't want to miss out!“
“I really enjoyed this place. My first time here and I found it easy to order and grab my food for a quick lunch. I got a poki bowl with tuna and salmon. The fish was fresh and the add ons like crab salad, sea weed salad and cucumbers were yummy. Will be a returning customer.“
“Ono opened relatively recently in South Pasadena, conveniently off the 110 fwy. It is a chain that specializes in fast casual Hawaiian food like chicken katsu and spam musubi. It is nice having a Hawaiian restaurant near the Pasadena area, though I wish they had my favorite Hawaiian food loco moco. I'm still trying to figure out what the island white fish is (tilapia, rockfish, etc), so if anyone knows feel free to lmk!“
“The first thing I want to say is that my server, Christian, was AMAZING! He went above and beyond on serving my food. He kept on asking if the portions were enough, which is something I dont get asked enough from places as such. He was super polite, gave the best answers to my questions, and always mentioned options when most others would have just given what I asked for. The food was spot on the best Poke I've ever had! Finally, the price was just right for what I was getting, and the restaurant was super well kept and clean! I HIGHLY recommend this spot, and if Christian is serving you make sure to leave a nice tip!“
“The team of this Rosemead Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a clean, safe and outstanding atmosphere, which allows customers sit and eat like you’re home.As you enter, you and your family are greeted with a smile…The crew and the manager team members are energetic, and full of life, and happy to serve you.Antonia who’s a member of upper management is a great person, who will ALWAYS go out of her way, who will go above and beyond!!!“
“Poke N Roll is the definition of a hidden gem. Located in a tiny strip mall with limited parking, the restaurant is easy to overlook but well worth a try. Their ingredients are always incredibly fresh, from the crispy onion toppings to the warm and fluffy bed of rice underneath it all. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for!!“
“We are big fans of sushi and poke, and as we were in LA, we challenged ourselves to find a poke place that was better (if possible) than our favorite in NorCal. California Poke House paid out our quest.Their poke is superb (from the protein options, to toppings, to the sauce...) and their service is also great! Our new favorite place in LA area!“
“We actually felt like we got a decent amount of food for the price. We had plenty of leftovers, which the kids finished off later that night. My wife swears this is the best macaroni salad she has ever had anywhere. The pineapple sauce was delicious as well. I wish we had this restaurant back home.“
“Jenni is the nicest and coolest person. She's so positive and great energy always. The cook is also terrific. Thanks for being there Miki-Chan'sI refer people to You all the time. My son and Family just moved to your area and they are definitely going to order from Miki-Chan's repeatedly like we do.Zucchini green beans Always a favorite.“
“Very satisfied. I stopped by today after my grocery haul and I'm really happy I did. I got a small poke bowl and it was filling but light enough to watch my calories since I was able to get half greens. Everything was fresh and the gentleman who helped me was very nice. Will be stopping by here from now on to get my poke bowls.“
“Food is always amazing however they did remove the serve yourself teriyaki katsu sauce. Service could have been a little better. Always homeless people right in front of this place asking. technically it's not their fault but there's constantly always different vagrants right in front.Parking: Always lots of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of accessibility“
