“The food is amazing for a very reasonable price, but I think the service differs depending on who's working. The first time I came with my Latina friend and the staff person also appeared to be Latina (she was speaking Spanish to some other customers while we were there); she noticeably treated my friend preferentially and was short with me when I asked questions about the menu and how to order since it was my first time, which ended up making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Then when I tried to pay, my payment failed the first time so she told me to insert my card again, but she "helped" by tapping on the screen for me and selecting the highest tip for herself without giving me a choice. I told her that wasn't the tip option I wanted to select but she gave me a dirty look and told me I couldn't go back, so I just had to pay the amount she selected or risk making a big fuss. Then she didn't offer me a receipt, which I think is just bad service considering she overcharged me, but maybe it's because she didn't want me to find out her name (since the server name is usually printed on your receipt). When our food came out, my friend's meal was neatly packaged so that she could take it to go, but my poke bowl didn't have a lid on it even though I was also taking it to go, and I had to ask for one, which she also treated like I was being an inconvenience. It was a really off-putting experience.My second time here, I came back with a different friend and ordered the exact same thing because the food quality was great, it was just the service that sucked, so I figured I'd give the place a second chance. Thankfully my second time was a lot better. The server (Michelle, based on my receipt) was very sweet and I didn't experience any problems. So I will probably keep eating here in the future, but I would not like to encounter the rude staff person from my first time again.“
“This is the best Poke I've ever had, and I've tried alot of Poke places. Their prices are very good compared to all the other ones. The owner is such a nice, friendly lady!! I will not go anywhere else. This place is soooo good and also very clean. I've been to Poke places where their seafood has tasted either spoiled, or dirty. But this place, literally everything tastes so on point!! Thank you to the owner for always treating me right when I go.“
“Just a little hole in the wall , with really good food, older decor, nothing special for dining in, but really good food and fast with a friendly staff, definitely more of a lunch or dinner take out place, but really good food, did I mention the really good food?“
“As soon as I walked in with my husband the food smells so delicious & taste great too! We had to come back & get more. Great service & quick too. Most definitely recommend coming in & trying it out. Best Hawaiian bqq! Love the loco moco here.“
“Hi BBQ is a solid choice for a teriyaki plate. I especially enjoy their combo lunches with a 4 pc sushi roll and salad. Don't expect much as far as ambiance is concerned since it's a converted hamburger stand A frame building. Service is always good and food is fresh. I'll be back.“
“A hidden gem within the Puente Hills Mall..The customer service was immaculate! If your on a time budget and trying to grab something quick and comforting..THIS IS IT!! We ordered the Katsu Chicken Plate..please note this is a huge plate!! It accompanied steam rice, Mac Salad and veggies. I also ordered the BBQ chicken bowl w/rice and veggies. Food was definitely a hit!! Although the ambience was a bit dark and wish they were seen more!!“
“I work in Uptown Whittier and appreciate that this place is within walking distance! I got the chicken teriyaki bowl with pineapple and green onion and it was sooooo delicious ? The meat was flavorful and tender. Will definitely be ordering from here again!“
“Chose this place without expectation after hours of play time at Kid's Empire, an indoor playground nearby. We were tired and hungry and ready to grub. Guess what? THE FOOD WAS BOMB!!!My son and I shared the CHICKEN COMBO -Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki with rice and macaroni salad. Huge portion. Chicken was cooked perfectly and Mac salad was on point! I'd order it again.My husband enjoyed his SEAFOOD PLATTER -Fried Shrimp, fried fish with rice mac salad. Huge portion too. They also had boba drinks. We tried the mango slush with Boba and was a little sweet for my liking but still good.Customer service was great! The young girl who took out order was nice and helpful and the older lady who maybe the owner was really nice and offered us water and check on us making sure we were okay.Will be back if we are in the area.“

“What can I say, the food there is excellent. All the plates are affordable and you get a lot of food (tastes so yummy). The staff are polite, and respectful and the chefs are excellent. If you want some delicious Chinese Food or Hawaiian Grill, I highly recommend this establishment to everybody.“
“Absolutely delicious, enough for me to come into help and leave a review. IMO, it gave me a little touch of Hawaii without actually being in there... because unfortunately we can't book an island vacation with bills looming around the corner if you know what I mean . (I ordered a loco moco plate and a musubi)“
“You truly can't get any better Hawaiian food in California. Yes it's slightly more expensive than others, but it's totally worth it.If you're coming with 2 or 3 people, grab their 35$ big kahuna plate, it'll more than cover everyone.“
“Looking for your sushi fix without breaking the bank? Look no further than Polk Avenue! ? This seafood joint serves up mouthwatering poke bowls and poke burritos that’ll have you coming back for more. Sure, some might balk at the prices, but let me tell you, it’s worth every penny! ?Picture this: you walk in, and right before your eyes, they whip up your meal with FRESH ingredients. And let’s talk about value—sure, groceries are getting pricier, but here, you’re getting top-notch, home-cooked seafood at a decent price.

They’ll bend over backward to ensure you get the best bang for your buck! In a world where businesses are disappearing left and right, Polk Avenue is a survivor.

“This review was mainly for the customer service. I called the day before to place a large phone order for lunch the following day. The girl who took the phone order ((Jessica?) was amazing. Super friendly and patient. The next day the food was all ready to go and on time. Thank you!“
“The taste is above average but not the best. The portion sizes are adequate, and I highly recommend the half and half option for first-time visitors. I tried the Kalua pork and spicy BBQ chicken, both of which were great. The owner was kind enough to leave a good impression.“
“10/10 service! Ordered family meals and spam musubi over the phone on July 4th and the person taking my order was so helpful and courteous! Payed over the phone and picked up and the same person gave amazing service. Kudos to her!! 10/10 food! Ordered for my daughter and her teenage friends and they ate it up! Portions were HUGE. I really enjoyed the mild volcano sauce and all the sauces. Also loved the free pickled jalapeños too! Overall - would definitely order here again for a large group!“
“This is my new favorite spot for poke. Their prices are great compared to other poke spots, considering their portions. I usually get a medium bowl that contains 3 proteins and the Hawaiian tuna is my favorite. The workers do not skimp on the protein scoops! I love the assortment of toppings and sauces. There is a good amount of tables inside for seating and the service is quick and easy.“
“Been her multiple times now and the food is great. I am an order online and pick up customer and the service is great and always prompt. My go to order is the spicy chicken plate or shrimp plate. Both are great. Definitely recommend. Also the dole ice cream cone is an awesome little treat.“
“I don't normally do reviews at all. Saw this place awhile back and stumbled upon it again while driving today. First time experience, the price is extremely reasonable however the proportions?!? The proportions were beyond amazing. The food and the service here was just impeccable, cooked right in front of you. Quiet area too if you wanna get away from everything.“
“Poki roll was closed due to a power outage when we tried to eat there. Didn't get to experience the service or the food. Re. Atmosphere, it was dark due to the power outage. I finally commented because Google keeps reminding me to comment. I gave them 4 stars based on others experience.“
“Solid food and atmosphere. Wide variety of sauces to choose from, and I appreciate the available jalapenos. I got the chicken katsu and it wasn't too expensive. Only complaint is that the katsu sauce is a bit underwhelming in taste and isn't what I'm used to.“
“Ahi Hawaiian Barbecue is my go to place when it comes to Hawaiian cuisine. I really love this place. The food is always savory and flavorful. The service is fast and the employees are very friendly and accommodating. Since I am regular customers in this place, so by now I have my favorite dishes that I ordered frequently which are;- BBQ Mix Combo Plate; for meat lovers. It includes BBQ ribs, BBQ beef and BBQ chicken in addition to mac and rice - Seafood Mix includes;crispy fish, shrimps and bbq chicken in addition to rice and mac.My favorite!Everything was exquisite from service, to the quality to the quantity to the deliciousness of the food of course! I am always back, so of course I will back very soon.“
“It'll never go wrong with Bay Poke. The freshness of the fish variety down to the salad greens and then the attention to details on the packaging. It just tells me that the crew running the business really do care about their job, which unfortunately is not something we can say everyday.“
“Solid place to get some Hawaiian food for yourself or for the fam. I ordered their mini meal which was $9.99 plus tax. Solid choice-- comes w your choice of meat, some cabbage, Mac salad, and rice. Not a bad price point for what you get. What I wish it came with is a drink. That would definitely make the mini meal a great mini meal imo. All in all good place“
“The ac doesn’t even work in there!Talk about eating hot food in a sauna !Update. Changing from 1 star to 3 because the cashier was very niceAlso I’m not sure if the ac has been fixed yet.Update: I think the ac still brokenBut I think management has also changed because the food was made very quickly!“
