“This poke’s fish texture was more jelly when bit ( might be marinated in a special Hawaiian way) compared to Japanese/Asian style poke for your reference. Just not the best texture to me, personally. I am in general more used to having non-Hawaiian style poke.Side dishes are in generous size, though the Edamame tasted a bit cold, hard, raw, and unflavored to me. I wish could have it warm with light sparkled salt on top instead.Appreciate the friendly people who work in store. They are kind to give wasabi and soy sauce pods for extra flavor if asked.“
“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.“
“I'm sad that this place opened up after I moved away! They have great quality poke by the pound, with many flavors and also great customer service along with other dishes too. Really friendly employee that always greets me every time I come, and the poke itself is really tasty compared to the generic poke places around. I personally love flavor so I like how their poke is so flavorful, although sometimes it's a LITTLE too flavorful, which I don't mind but my wife does. I love their limu poke, the crunchy bits of seaweed from Hawaii give a really good contrast to the poke, and it's consistently one I always get from here. Prices are reasonable and I love just getting some poke from here, making rice at home, and just having a nice little dinner, that is only if I didn't finish all the poke on the way home.“
“I stopped in and got the Shrimp Tempura hand roll and the Spicy Tuna hand roll, and I absolutely loved the Spicy Tuna roll so much! It had such good flavor and when I added the soy sauce, it was definitely on and popping! Yummy, I can't wait to try some other menu items.“

“I don't usually leave reviews but I have to specifically for this place to further stray away from the scary thought that it might close due to whatever circumstance. I have never had a more delicious drink/concoction than the Kei's Lani. It is literally the most perfect thing I have ever tried. How do they manage to delicately meld together the ice cream texture and shaved ice texture with lilikoi and guava flavors? It's amazing. Their garlic fried rice is also phenomenal, a taste that is hard to find in Torrance. The cherry on top is their butter mochi with bruleed top. (Also, they have my favorite sauces like cilantro jalapeño). They fill in every aspect that I more or less find absent in other restaurants around here. Please don't ever close“
“First time there. I ordered online for pick up. Mixed and 2 piece coconut shrimp and a drink. Spent $30.00 The drink was good but too small. Both the chicken, shrimp were... ok ok all of it was good, it was delicious just the macaroni tasted like fishy, shrimpy idk other that def would go again.“
“Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian bowl option.Parking: Slightly small parking lot but there is more space behind the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Not too many options but the kids bowl is quite simple but good, it has imitation crab and sushi rice.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp at the front of the restaurant.“
“5.0 & none below!!!Enjoy authentic Hawaiian cuisine for a ridiculously low price. This classic plate lunch style joint serves generous portions of flavor packed food; it's no wonder this place has been in business for the last 60 years. Locals from the islands will not be disappointed in the least. Choose from a variety of local dishes. The lau lau is proper, as it includes the pork belly and butterfish. The chicken katsu is off the chain, but a request for the curry katsu option is highly recommended. The loco moco stay garranz fo' quell any kanak attack (sooouuu-peh!). If you want to switch it up on the pupus at your next get-together or football/UFC night, pass on the Wing Stop and get a fat order of the Hawaiian wings instead. Get your grind on!Parking: Strip style location, huge parking lot“
“Had the Loco Moco with white rice and Hawaiian ? Macaroni. Orange Juice is very good and fresh bread complimentary. For Dessert I had delicious bread pudding and paradise cake which is very amazing. As a recommendation to the restaurant please replace the upholstery on the sitting booth because it is outdated.“
“My goto plate place since the mid-2000s. The pricing has been increasing, but the food portion and quality are about the same, and it's around 16 to 20$ a plate currently.The place has little parking up front and a small eating area, so I highly recommend phoning in the order and picking it up to go. The katsu and beef dishes ironically are better than the chicken teriyaki dishes as well.“
“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....“
“Really enjoyed the food here. Had the Kalua pork plate. Really tasty and cooked just right! It came with Mac salad and rice. Finished off dinner with shaved ice. Only thing I wish they served was ramen cabbage salad. I am used to having it with Kalua pork and it was strange to not offer it as a side. Overall it was a good dining experience!“
“What else can I say? A place that actually focuses on the star of the plate. The Sauce. When you say Teriyaki. It's like a good Mexican spot. If the salsa is good, the food is good. Louis is a master of the craft. His fresh made chili is the best on the planet for me. Your service is impeccable, and your attitude is one that should be emulated in every business. Thank you so much for putting your heart and soul into your food. Mahalo Braddah! I mean, it, though. Give your young server a raise. She is dedicated and worthy.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“This is hand down the **BEST** poke place we have found! We moved away to Long Beach and have tried several local places but none of them come close in quality or taste. We actually still make the drive to come back to All About Poke in San Pedro since it is unmatched. Not only is the food amazing - the staff that prepares it is as well. In fact, Sunny still remembers our orders without even us having to tell them to her! First class service. You will not find a better place out there - trust me, we've looked!“

“First time at King's Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant. I was really looking forward to eating their fried chicken and I found it a little bland. In MY humble opinion the chicken was lacking seasoning. The spam masubi was on point. The rice was perfectly cooked with a nice slab of Spam.I will have to try their other location.“
“Walked in and was greeted immediately by the lady behind the counter. Super welcoming and informative esp for a first time customer. Got the spicy tuna bowl on greens with garlic topper. The bowl was pretty good but was blown away by all the creative protein choices and saw they had Loco Moco on the menu so I had to got that route. Have not had it since a trip to Kauai. Was pretty on point but could’ve used a little salt. Also got the shrimp tempura which was delicious. Took a little under 10 minutes for the order to be completed and I will def be back to try the rest of the choices.“
“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.“
“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“
“Small spot but service was quick and easy. Fish was fresh, bowl was packed to the brim (you can see that everything is smashed because of how full it is). I really didn't need a medium size... And now I've eaten all of it --yikes. They didn't have spam musubi ready yet because they just opened, but if I'm snackish later I'll definitely come back to try.“
“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 ?“
“First visit to The Beach Hut #2 yesterday and it was so good!My husband said it was the best breakfast sandwich he had ever had. I had pancakes, eggs and bacon and it was delicious as well!Generous on their portions, a great atmosphere, and the nicest people work there.The prices were very fair and we skipped lunch because we were full all day.We will for sure be going back for more at The Beach Hut#2!Located in same shopping center as Sprouts and Michaels. They are located at 4322 Pacific Coast Highway in Torrance. For breakfast, brunch, and lunch, they are open from 7:30am to 3:00pm daily.Great place to eat or take on the go.The Beach Hut #2 deserves 5 stars from us!Parking: Super easy to park closeby“
“If you are looking for a taste of Hawaii while in Long Beach, go here! Kind, friendly, and delicous. The only thing that would make it better was a little better atmosphere because there was a lot of boxes everywhere, but the food makes up for that. I got it to go and drove about 10 minutes home and it stayed warm and was delicious at home. So good!I ordered the Kama'aina Plate but I was not sure how to pronounce it and I said a #1. I did not realize there were other #1's! The older lady that was helping me was kind and understanding when I noticed she was making a different order. I said "Oh I think I ordered wrong, I wanted the pork and laulau" and she corrected it no problem.The food was AMAZING. Poke was fresh and flavorful, the kalua pork was delicious, but the laulau was absolutely amazing, melt in the mouth and delicious.“
“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.“
“Some of the best poke I've ever had. I feel like all poke places skimp on the fish, but that didn't ruin my experience given how fresh it was here. Good selection of toppings, and the avocado was incredibly fresh - score! Worth the price for sure. Would definitely recommend.“
“A fantastic little eatery where I could get a great affordable meal fast and eat in or take out. The menu is expansive and authentic Hawaiian BBQ. This is a chain on the Hawaiian islands and it was nice to eat at here in Torrance. I got the pork bowl with cabbage, but they have really good mahi mahi and chicken katsu with a side of macaroni salad. Too many choices!“

“I was looking for a new place on yelp to grab some healthy fulfilling yummy food and I came across this place! I went to pick up the food and it turns out lulubowls is one of several cuisines you can order. When you drive down 14th street you will see a beautifully painted building and it turns it's like a hidden food court. Definitely a hidden Long Beach gem! Don't let the overall rating fool you because the food I got from lulubowls is so good. I got the salad bowl and sweet potato potstickers. I am definitely going to come back to try their other bowls as well!“
“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.“
“Best I have had around anywhere in Los Angeles. By the looks you wouldn't understand how incredibly fresh and always perfect this poke and sushi comes out ever time. Never disappointed. This review is food quality only. The staff is amazing here but they are not servers. They provide the best over the counter poke bowl around. Parking is always easy and if there is a line it always goes fast.“
“We used to go to The Loft in Torrance and loved everything about it. It was so sad when they had to close. The food at the Gardena location is just like I remember. I love the Kalua Pork! The staff are fantastic. It is counter service only.“
“We order from here every two weeks or so but rarely dine in. Good portions. Prices have increased (like everywhere else) in the last few years. The drive through line is kind of slow and one time out of five or so the chicken katsu is dry, but otherwise never had a bad experience here and they are pretty consistent.“
