“My favorite poke place! The best fish I’ve had in a poke bowl yet. Do not sleep on the house, original poke, and the spicy mayo sauce combo, with eel sauce on top. I would eat here EVERY DAY if I could.PS: The parking lot is atrocious - no one knows how to drive in it - but they can’t control that.Parking: This parking lot has 2 entrances and 1 exit. The flow of traffic is not apparent from first entrance. Drivers often go the wrong way and use the 2nd entrance as an exit. It’s an absolute cluster. Spots are small, and non-compact cars often park over the lines, taking up more than one space. I usually walk to this shopping center because it’s so bad.“
“As a devoted worshiper of Sushi, I had to try out this little spot right in the middle of the extremely lively and crowded food court area at Westfield Mall. It has some strong competition with Panda Express, Chipotle, Philly Cheesestakes all squeezed next door. I gravitated towards this establishment because of the eye-catching sushi photos on display. The prices are high, some rolls about $16, but it looked fresh. I took a leap of faith and ordered a Popcorn Roll and my favorite go to, The Philadelphia Roll, love me that cream cheese. Don't judge. The portions were large, it was enough to satisfy me and my boyfriend. The fish itself was very fresh and high quality. Very generous portions of cream cheese, and Avocados. Loved the fried longostino on the Popcorn Roll. I admit they could have been better but for a mall location it was way better than expected. The employees were very nice too and gave me tons of napkins and soy sauce. I appreciate that. I'd definitely come back!“
“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.“
“I remember coming to the shop for sushi rice when I was pregnant. Whom had seemed to be the owner of the shop ending up being incredibly kind and accomplished. I felt welcome and I bought all of my poke bowls there ever since. Sadly I moved out of state and will miss their poke. Really kind, welcoming atmosphere, and good poke!“
“April 2024: Yes!Regular = 3 scoops of protein, 5 toppings, 3 sauces for $17. That's value.I came in here and was blown away by how fresh and clean everything is. Great staff! Two young kids work in the counter in tandem with each other.My whole experience here was great. I have to say that for $17 getting somewhere in the vicinity of like a pound to 2 lb of rice and protein and poke and all the toppings, and the sauces, the flavor combination is just incredible. I cannot stress how fresh the albacore, tuna, and salmon are. I mean you can literally see, taste, and experience the Great quality.For the local tourist, day trip person, someone who wants to experience downtown Burbank, anyone passing through, this is definitely a place where you get your money's worth.Very casual atmosphere, shorts and t-shirt type vibe.Parking: street only. San Fernando has a 90-minute limit per space. Be careful, some spots or 10 minute only. There are two free structures closer to Orange Grove that are Unlimited for about 22 hours. No parking 3am-5am. So if you have to leave your car there overnight, fair warning that you might get ticketed and towed.“
“I was in the area and looked up Poke. Poke LouLu came up. The reviews were good so I decide to try. I agree this Poke Bowl was tasty. I too wanted more after I finished. This place has been open for 4 months. I'll come back when I'm in Burbank again inside is clean and service was pleasant and informative. Thanks for dinner“
“Ohana BBQ is my comfort Hawaiian food spot on Ventura Blvd. They stand out among the others because it's Hawaiian dishes with Korean BBQ. Every time my wife and I go , the gentleman who takes the phone orders is also the one ringing us up and he's so pleasant each time. My favorite item on the menu is the japchae with short rib. They're also very generous with the teriyaki and hot sauce which is a plus. Also the wall of celebrities who've dined there is such a great touch!“
“I'm a Poke Fanatic and this place blew my mind. Their OG Tuna and OG spicy Tuna is DELICIOUS! From the sauces, toppings, and garnishes...Everything was so fresh! Place was very well maintained and clean. The staff was friendly and had great customer service.“

“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! ?“
“Fast service, fresh fish, and satisfying lunch!My friend and I came here and got takeout, and it was delicious. They only have one outdoor table unfortunately, but poke is something you grab and go anyways. We ended up taking this to a street down (Black Elephant Coffee) and eating our meal with our lattes.The portions feel small but it's really actually just dense. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, but I do wish that they gave you more than just 2 add ons. You have to ask about extra costs, because they won't tell you that up front, nor are there signs.Overall a solid poke place!“
“Patio Seating/ Dog Friendly!I’ve been coming to this spot for over a decade! They were around even before the movie! =) Fast forward present day- I wanted my niece to try Hawaiian BBQ. She’s been to Hawaii but now that she is older and her palate has changed, I knew this was the spot to take her for our monthly get together!Hawaiian BBQ always has a place in my heart! Growing up in Hawaii the BBQ was a staple, so simple; BBQ, rice, mac salad and a can of Hawaiian Sun!Got the katsu, short rib, BBQ and seafood combos! Of course, she wanted musubi so we got that and it came with 2 for the order, with the drink total came to $95! But dang, the rice to meat ratio was sad ?? rice is cheap… why not load up? Maybe my expectations are too high? LOL but its rice….cant shake the portion out of my head also, the mac salad can use a upgrade– missing star.Parking: Parking behind the building, in the front and structures all around. For guaranteed parking the mall is your best option!“
“I hear about all about Loki from friend So I kept it in my mind till today I was super hungry and I'm craving sea food. But light So I drove there I ordered pokey salad base with spicy Mayo and soy My friend rice base pokey The good about that place easy to find on Ventura Boulevard. Super clean place smell fresh nothing like other pokey restaurant.Stuff super friendly The food fresh the salad crips The prices affordable with 4 scoops of Protein and you add topping wherever you like Really I enjoyed it and I will go back again“
“We LOVE eating @ Taks. There are not many family owned places like Taks. The staff treat you like family so patrons tend to treat each other like family. Every meal is the BEST because of all of the above. Xoxo????? SO THANKFUL FOR TAKS. karen and eddieParking: Large parking lot.“
“Date: 1/26/24 Was craving Hawaiian food and didn't want to leave the house with the two babies so decided to grub hub some food. Looked through the list and just went with the first option because it looked good already. 1. BBQ Chicken, Beef & Katsu Combo (13.99$) - Saw it was only a dollar more for another protein so of course I had to get this one. The chicken was probably my favorite of the three. Very juicy and soft. Love that they don't shiest on the protein. My toddler loved the katsu and the bbq chicken! Beef was more on the chewy side so it was harder to eat for the kids but i enjoyed it. 2. BBQ Chicken & Short Ribs Combo (14.99$) - The short ribs were amazing!!! It went by so fast and I really wanted more. Again the BBQ Chicken was really good. Definitely recommend this combo! An amazing first experience not to mention so incredibly CHEAP!!! Can't wait to come back and try everything else!“
“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.“
“When you walk in this place, it smells good. Not fishy but briny like the ocean. They have a good amount of options for your poke bowl and give you a good amount for the price. Everything is always fresh and bright, looking and tasting. When I crave poke, this is my favorite place to get it.“
“Came in again this weekend for the classic aloha bbq mix! It's my favorite on the menu. I love the meat variety and always forget they give so much! It could be easily shared or saved for a second meal. There's more meat under the chicken, and the rice and macaroni really seal the deal. I like that there is veggies under the meat because it packs more flavor in the greens and adds a nice balance to the meat. Food comes out quickly and just like before, the vibe is very relaxing and easygoing whether I come alone or with company :))“
“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“
“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!“
“The chicken here is very delicious. The only bad thing is that there are 2 girls that when they are in the kitchen they don't add any chicken, I ask for extra paying extra and not even that. They should be fired. And a fatty who has a very ugly manner and is very filthy.“
“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.“
“I recently discovered this hidden gem of a poke place, and I couldn't be happier! The freshness of the ingredients and the amazing flavors of their poke bowls have completely won me over. The owner is always attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure the customers are happy. The fish is incredibly fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor, and the wide variety of toppings and sauces allows for endless combinations. Whether you're a traditionalist or a fan of bold and unique flavors, this place has something for everyone. I'm so glad I found this place, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious and fresh poke.“
“I love this place! I often order pickup since I’m down the road but they’re also on Uber eats. The pickup has usually been 10 mins or less. The portions are huge. I just wanted to sing their praises and give them a review after my 10+ orders with them.“
“Poke Me is a gem! Every bowl is bursting with freshness, and the flavors are unmatched. The staff is friendly, making each visit feel personal and warm. Portions are generous, leaving you satisfied every time. It's not just about eating here; it's the whole experience that keeps me coming back. If you haven't been to Poke Me yet, you're missing out. Truly a top spot for poke lovers!“
“The fish is super fresh & cold. I love that they mix the sauces with your choice of protein so it gets really evenly seasoned Also the crispy onions are perfectly cooked & crunchy The vibe is also nice to sit down and eat with the family or alone and the service is always good 10/10 recommend“
“A rated. I eat poke all over town and hands down this is the best poke on the Westside. The quality is great, a good selection and variety of veggies and protein offered which result in great taste and the portions are honestly huge. Price wise..... Definitely good deal!Parking may be a bit on the short side but I have never found it challenging....always got a meter on the street within a minute's walk.“
“Ever since we visited Hawaii a couple years ago, I've been craving Hawaiian styled food. I saw Ono in passing one day, and finally was able to give it a try on Friday. I was not disappointed at all! I got the chicken katsu plate with two sides of rice and two sides of steamed veggies (I substituted the macaroni salad for more veggies). The food was fantastic. My only thing to remember for next time is instead of substituting for two sides of veggies, to do an extra side of rice instead because I definitely didn't need all that cabbage hahaParking: Depending on the time of day, it can be a little difficult to find parking. There is metered parking and free one hour parking down the street“
“We wanted a quick lunch and we it was late in the afternoon and we decided that poke would be good, and this place was delightful.The fish was fresh and tasty. The kale noodles were wonderful and the pineapple smoothie with boba was amazing. If I get out that way again I'll go back“
“This is my favorite poke spot in the valley. Nothing fancy but it’s great for a quick bite or a quick lunch with one other friend. The prices are reasonable and the seafood is always fresh. The staff is knowledgeable and if you are not sure what you want to get, they can help you out with recommendations. I recommend getting the #5 sauce on your poke bowl it is amazing!“
“I had their delicious fried chicken stick and veggies as a mini-bowl. Wow, was it flavorful...perfectly crispy skin on the large, boneless chicken thigh pieces (you get 3!). And only $5.95...wut?!?! Next time I plan to try their egg foo yung or fried tilapia, which looked perfectly fried, too. Quick service after the lunch rush with even a little parking available. They have all the quick-service options, too, but I didn't want all those carby dishes. Clean seating area and nice staff!“
“The food is this place is simply something that you have to try if you're gonna eat in Northridge, I've never had better food ever can I get a spam musubi Hawaiian barbecue chicken musubi but then can I take off like the honey stuff yeah Northridge ever especially in the Hawaiian category of food ever I literally cannot explain how good this Hawaiian barbecue chicken taste, and the chicken Katsu combo I'm cream to this chicken right now. The macaroni salad is simply something to die for the chef need to be paid $10 million a year simply because of how much that they're pumping out with the quality of their food also the ingredients of this place is absolutely great. I hope that more people come to this unknown restaurant because it is kind of tucked away, but it is one of the best restaurants that you should definitely try if you're gonna, die because you only live once.“
“This poke spot is very unassuming and you'd never think twice about it. I've had a very good experience every time and honestly it's some of the freshest poke I've had. I've had it around 15-20x as of this review and it's never disappointed.The ingredients are super fresh and I've never had a bad experience here.I'll warn you that their spicy mayo is spicy! They also have really delicious pickles and great fresh crab (likely imitation? If so, I finally don't mind!) as well.The staff is also very friendly and kind.“
“Malama Pono has been my favourite restaurant in the neighborhood since 2021. I have always enjoyed my time here. Wonderful food and staff! BEST crispy rice in town!! Come here and you will not be disappointed. I’ve brought different people here and they all loved it. Everything on the menu is delicious.“
