    Owner that cleaned the restroom with cleaning brush..
    Christie M.

    OMG... I'm not posting this because of someone upsetting me or in any kind of vengeful manner, this literally is a safety issue..!!!!!! The picture I'm posting is of this lady getting a scrub brush from the counter right behind her and walking into the restroom with gloves on and cleaning the restroom.. I'm literally disgusted because the brush didn't look new so I seriously don't know!! She immediately went in the back so I don't know what she did with it but I'm scared

    This place is awesome and one of the best places to eat in town. It does get a little busy at times but we'll worth the wait.

    This review is based on the bbq chicken/short ribs combo and cheese wontons. Overall, I was very impressed! I really wanted some Ono's but there isn't any in town so I was hoping Ahi was just as good. I was so happy that the short ribs were tender and juicy! The bbq chicken was decent but didn't taste fresh and it was a little dry. The cheese wontons are good. I would order again just for the short ribs! I ordered via door dash so I didn't have any issues waiting and it came so fast!

    #3 BBQ Mix Lunch $11.59 and #4 Seafood Mix Lunch $11.29

    I was craving some Hawaiian BBQ, and decided to check out a local spot here in the AV area. My sister wanted me to try this spot particularly because it is one of her guilty pleasures and the portions/taste here is amazing. She's been here a couple of times. It was my first time coming, and I love how they have COVID protocols in place. The cashier and the front counter has a clear plastic barrier in place. The sauces were available in single packets, however certain sauces were unfortunately not already packed like the hot sauces. If you feel comfortable, they do have the small containers you can use to pour the hot sauce. Ordering here was fast and efficient. We came here around 12ish during the weekend. We got our meal in less than 20 minutes, and bounced back to my place. My sister and I ordered the #3 BBQ Mix and the #4 Seafood Mix. The portion was a bit disappointing because they skimped out on giving out more of the entree. The #3 BBQ Mix wasn't too obvious though because they did provide 3 meats of each, and the pieces were big. However... the #4 Seafood Mix was a completely opposite. They really gave me soo little meat. Some of the pieces they gave were so small like the size of a nugget from McDonald. It did not look like the picture on display on their menu. I was expecting bigger pieces but everything about this meal was lackluster. Also, wanted to express some concerns over the food burning through the plastic container. If you look at the picture attached, the #4 Seafood Mix show that the plastic container looks melted. That's not safe. I would recommend they put a foil wrap because I have seen certain restaurant do that with their fried food. This would prevent the burning. Anyhow, the food was decent and the portion was lackluster. I'll have to come and give them a try next time again because my sister vouches that I probably caught them at a bad time. Hopefully my next experience will be better.

    The front of Ahi Hawaiian! Getting my chicken curry on!

    Food was very good, just a bit over on the salt. Place was very clean and sanitary. COVID-19 protocol is in place. Thank you! The kalbi plate was great. Love the pot stickers! The Teriyaki chicken was good. Chicken curry wasn't really curry - Turmeric and black pepper. I cook so I know by taste. If you spend over $40. They'll give you free spring rolls, a huge plus imo. We all need to help each other in these times, no more closures of small businesses. Come on fellow Neighbors, let's keep our small businesses going. Praying for a better 2021. Dear Neighbors, It'll be another year of COVID-19, there is no cure. It's mutating, but there is a light at the end of this tunnel. We as a community can do this, we must. We are tasked with this. The simplest things we can do is social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks. This is the only way we can do this together. COVID-19 is real. Don't be blasé about COVID-19 its real and we've had cases. If a little girl of 12 hid for 2 years, what is wrong with us? Her name was Anne Frank. Peace, J

    Went in for lunch around 12pm. Food was quickly handed to me and I could tell immediately why that was the case. It had to be leftovers from the day before, BBQ chicken was old and dry. I tried to eat around those spots but it was so tough to chew. Horrible experience, will never return.

    Ordered Chicken Katsu with Curry Sauce and it was bomb! Must try if you are craving for some curry. Its almost like Coco Ichibanya but cheaper! Take a look at their menu, more to choose from. The place is clean, there's also a minimum capacity posted at the door. Really complying with the mandate which is nice!

    Beef and chicken combo
    David B.

    While out in Palmdale for work, this place was definitely a go-to spot. I had actually gone here for lunch and was so good I came back the very next day and got the same thing. Their beef and chicken combo has more food than what other places give out. Macaroni salad was bomb, really enjoyed everything. Also had crab/ cream cheese wontons and a Thai tea

This bright restaurant certainly fit that description! We were impressed by the Hawaiian feel and decor right from the start. We were welcomed so warmly by the young manager and his staff. He explained the menu and some of the options and also that Thursday was a discount day if you ordered a dish that featured chicken as the main protein, because it was Thursday. My partner chose a chicken bowl on a bed of coconut rice (12.99) and I chose the combination chicken breast and shredded luau pork plate (17.99) also with coconut rice, and a delightful mix of sautéed broccoli florets, diced zucchini, onion, and finally shredded carrots. There were four accompanying sauces to sample. I liked a combination of the spicy teriyaki with the pineapple teriyaki. The Sriracha was too hot for me because I'm a wimp when it comes to hot things, and I just didn't love their peanut sauce very much. I think the recipe could be reworked. But I liked that they offered peanut sauce as an option! They also served us a tasty Hawaiian style macaroni salad made with cavatappi pasta. Portions were large, and I love their presentation for dining in, especially the angled bowls. Even their take-home was in high-quality reusable plastic containers , showing the care they gave for even the smaller details. Dessert options include an individual pineapple upside down cake (4.99) and choice of large size chocolate chunk or salted caramel cookies (2.99). There was a serve yourself drink station. Because my partner had the chicken protein he was gifted a free drink. They have locations also in Simi Valley and in Ventura city. The Palmdale location has been opened already for 17 years! We plan to come back here again for certain the next time we're in Palmdale. Plenty of free parking as it's part of a large shopping area, but easily seen from the street. So in short, this was a great find!

I've come here for years, and the food is always great!!

The service is always excellent, everybody is nice, so welcoming right away, and the food is always incredibly fast. I mean, I'm able to come here on a 30 minute break, get my food and eat, and still have half of my break left. The outdoor patio, and inside seating is comfortable, clean, and well kept. One of my favorite places to go!

The store is always bright and airy, and very clean. The AC is blasting to keep it nice and chilly indoors which is what you want in your poke joint. You receive a friendly greeting from the ladies when you walk in the door. They've added Boba to their offerings.. nice! Maybe shaved ice or Bingsu will be next? We ordered a couple of their large "create your own" bowls, and they were delicious! Served in the rectangular black plastic containers they don't present as well because all of the scoops of fish and fresh toppings have to be compressed into the container, but it still tastes good! They used to have larger, clear round bowls with dome lids so nothing got smashed.. I think it would be an improvement, particularly for the 4-scoop large bowls, to go back to the other container. I wish I knew the name of the young lady who helped me.. so sweet, fast and friendly! It's nice when you run across someone who is engaging.. great customer service! They have "sushi burritos", poke tacos.. so many options to keep it interesting! Make sure to join their Loyalty Program to earn points for every purchase towards discounts and freebies.
