“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Stopped at the Burbank location during the wine walk in November and it was amazing and just what I needed. The fish was fresh and I got the burrito and usually I get the bowl but I wanted to eat and walk and it worked out great and tasted fresh and “
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“

“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great little independent restaurant. The world needs more unique places like this. If only people could tear themselves away from McDonald's and other gross corporate dumps and try something new once in a while.The service was very good. Yeah, they were in the back working when I came in, but they came out right away, so I can't see why anyone would feel the need to complain about that.They were out of a couple menu items this last visit, like their açaí, but it's all good because they have a varied menu and good prices. The interior is decorated with custom art pieces. Just go, ok?Vegetarian options: Açaí and all that implies... several rolls are meatless (avocado, daikon, and so on).Dietary restrictions: Easy for a gluten free person to eat here.Parking: Tons of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking very nearby. A wheelchair could easily roll in. Flat floor layout; no steps or stairs. Spacious, private bathroom.“
“Small spot that you'd pass everyday without knowing it's there. Decided to try it for lunch one day after walking by and I'm very thankful that I did. Upon entry you are greeted by a clean space with few tables and nice individuals at the front. There are lots of toppings to choose from and a great selection of different fish. After creating my bowl with the help of the worker, I took it to go to eat back at the office. The fish quality is one of the freshest I've had in the area and the pricing is very comparable to others you find within Glendale. Won't bat an eye next time I am in the mood for a good poke bowl!“
“Hands down, the best Poke place I have eaten at. I travel for work and I love Poke and I try to visit local Poke restaurants where I'm visiting. The large selection of seafood and toppings makes for a great meal. I love the spicy tuna, the shrimp and scallops. I usually get two scoops of crab meat and add avocado, edamame, cilantro and spicy Poke sauce. I never get tired of eating it. Co-workers say it is the best Poke restaurant they have ever eaten at. They have pretty loyal clientele. You can order online, although I have never done that, and pick up your order. There isn't a lot of seating and it's a large long table in the center and a section against the wall where you can sit and eat. Seating is usually available and most people I noticed take out their order. The parking lot is small and you can usually find parking on the street if necessary. I totally recommend this place. The owner is nice, the management is nice, the step is incredibly friendly and it's just a pleasure eating really good healthy food at this location.“
“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“
“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.“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“Great good. Fast. Clean. Friendly atmosphere. Daisy, fantastic experience, helped me with my order. The transaction was quick and smooth. I had a pleasant conversation. I got the plate with salad and rice, teriyaki chicken, and BBQ beef. I was hungry, and I ATE. Highly recommend. I will be returning.Parking: It's in a shopping center, there's always parking.“
“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 have been coming here since my grandmother took me for my Holy Communion years and years ago. You will never be disappointed by their service, table wear, and food. Their food is amazing, I crave their wonton appetizer all of the time that is complimentary. The egg drop soup is DELICIOUS. Also complimentary . ( I may be wrong) you get a huge amount of deliciousness for quite a deal. YOU WILL NOT REGRET COMING HERE. The ambience is perfect is so, so calm. You can have long conversations in this restaurant but I warn you, time goes fast in this place!!!!“
“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 was excellent. However, the attitude of the staff was less than Mahalo at the USC area location on Fig. The employee taking my order acted annoyed with me and was argumentative. She had a terrible attitude. I was dining there at 10:45pm on Saturday 02/11/2023.“
“Food fresh delicious as always customers service mmm cashier's so into their own conversations, they see you but pretend they don't see you so you wait until conversations is over and give you an attitude like ( yes can i help you) or what are you doing here ? ?♀️“
“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.“
