    The food was absolutely delicious and very filling. The kalbi was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly--not dry at all. The garlic shrimp was also excellent, with a generous portion and great taste. I loved the entire plate and felt it was well worth it. The only minor downside was that I couldn't get through by phone to place my order, likely because they were very busy. As a result, I had to order in person and wait at the restaurant instead of simply picking it up. That said, the food more than made up for the inconvenience. Overall, it's a 5-star experience when it comes to quality and flavor, and I'll definitely be back.

    Great clean place. Fast service and the most excellent food. I had the Kalbi ribs! Big portions so I will have 2 meals out of it! But the meat is divine !

    Broke da mouth. This is the best Hawaiian food I've had stateside, their kalbi being my favorite! The service is fast and the workers are kind, I def recommend if you love local/Hawaiian food.

    This place has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally got a chance to try it! We ordered two mixed plates so we could sample a few different protein options. The garlic shrimp was easily my favorite, it was garlicky, the shrimp were jumbo-sized, and they were cooked perfectly. The kalbi was a little more charred than I prefer, but it still tasted great and paired well with the kimchi. The garlic chicken portion was very generous, and crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. The kalua pig was definitely on the saltier side, making it a total "rice killer." I also absolutely loved their mac salad, I think there might be some meat (bacon?) mixed into it because it was way more flavorful than the mac salad you get at other Hawaiian spots. I also came specifically for their filled malasadas. We tried one of each flavor at $3.99 a piece, but they were surprisingly small. It's probably not worth ordering them individually compared to buying a half-dozen or a full dozen box. That being said, they tasted great, so I wasn't too upset about it. Overall, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the food is solid and this will definitely be our new go-to Hawaiian restaurant.

    I kept seeing the ad while browsing social media while I was hungry so I decided to check this place out. The store was empty when I came in. The cashier was super nice. We had a nice chat. I ordered the chicken and steak combo plate and a Hawaiian drink that came out to $26. Pretty pricey but I wanted to try them. I waited while my food was prepared and took it to go. The food was just ok. The beverages in the cooler weren't cold but maybe they just put them in. I did check all because I'm not one that enjoys room temperature drinks. IDK if I'll come again but I'm glad I at least tried it .

    I've been here twice so far. The menu is simple, sticking to the classics and focusing on fresh, well-made Hawaiian dishes. No frills, just good food. The staff has always been super friendly, and the place itself feels welcoming. On one visit, there was a bit of an unusual moment with a guest's dachshund ate inside on the table and the staff came up to pet the dog who licked their hands and what not, it caught me off guard more than anything. It didn't seem like a service animal since they're trained to stay under the table, so it's probably worth keeping in mind that non-service animals are allowed at this restaurant. Overall, it's been consistently solid food wise.

    The one and only place to get Hawaiian food in the valley So glad they opened this location in PV as the original location is all the way out in Mesa. The PV location is pretty spacious inside. They make everything to order so it can take a while for food to come out I LOVE the kalbi, mac salad & malasadas. Garlic shrimp is a nice treat every once and a while but they go heavy on the butter so I don't feel the greatest after indulging in garlic shrimp

    Went to the Hapa Food Co (Shea Blvd) last week for the first time. I love Hawaiian Food so I had high hopes. My girl and I shared the Kalbi Ribs, Garlic Chicken & Poki. The Kalbi Ribs were good, Garlic Chicken - So So, but the Poki was so salty We could not take another bite. I'm not one to take food back, but they had a sign on each table saying "If you had a great experience, we would love a Google or Yelp review. If you had a bad experience please let the cashier know so we can make it right". I told the cashier "Do you add salt to your Poki, because it's way too salty for me". All she had to say was "we don't add salt to our Poki" and left it at that. I don't like making too much of a fuss so I just walked off thinking they do not stand by their word. Not sure what that spice was I was tasting, but it was way to strong you barely taste the fish. Again, I don't like returning food nor give bad reviews, but the service & Poki (that day) was not a good experience.

    Love this place. Thank k goodness they finally opened one closer to my house than Mesa. We had the garlic chicken and the combo Kalbi and garlic shrimp. Kalbi was beautifully charred with a sweet soy marinade along with the shrimp that was cooked perfectly in a garlic butter. Garlic chicken tasted more like a mochiko chicken and was slightly tougher pieces of chicken thighs. Overall nice place for lunch. Please get an ice machine! There wasn't a cube of ice anywhere to be found for the beverages.

    My grams and I drove 30 minutes to try this place and we were not disappointed! The prices are very reasonable, considering the portion size that you get, and we were blown away with the taste. It took about 15 minutes to get our order, but when it comes out, it's piping hot so you know that it's fresh and ready to eat. We shared a combo with shrimp and ribs, and then got an additional side of Mac salad and rice. We also got a six pack of the malasadas and I'm literally dreaming about them. The ube filling was by far the best, and quite honestly better than some I've had in Hawaii before. We will definitely return. Plenty of seating inside too!

    I ordered a Kalbi and Garlic Chicken mix plate and a half dozen of Ube Yam and Vanilla Custard Malasadas. No complaints about the mix plate. Meats weren't dry and were flavorful. Rice was properly clumpy, not a mushy mess iykyk. Malasadas tasted like what I've had on Oahu. I wish the cream was sweeter and little thicker but still tasty. I also tried one of my friend's garlic shrimp and wow it was a big, juicy shrimp! No issues with service. There isn't much of an ambience but as long as the food is good!

    Big, big fan of Hapa Food Company in East Mesa. This is my first visit to their new Scottsdale and the vibes are there for sure! The garlic shrimp are huge and packed with flavor - I wish it were fried so I can eat the skin too but that's a personal preference. Biggest issue this visit was the garlic chicken tasted a bit stale and lacked the satisfying crunch I remember and were a bit overdone and dry. I've had good experiences before so I would still highly recommend giving them a try! Pro-tip: try the hurricane chicken on the not so secret menu. FYI, they have a $1 credit card fee

    Garlic Chicken Plate

    We have been to this location several times - service is always friendly & they consistently serve delicious food that hits our craving. The portion is enough to take home. Save your stomach for their cream or ube filled Malasadas.

The bowls were filled perfectly with a great balance of flavors and texture. The sushi rice was cooked ideally great texture and flavor. The ahi and salmon were fresh and portioned well. I cannot believe I slept on this location for this long, I feel like I can never get those years of experience back now. For what it's worth the Fry's up the road and the Sprouts across the street do Poke as well and charge the same amount, theirs are absolute garbage compared to Poke Paradise quality, quantity, and ability to customize it yourself. Not even close, and the staff here was welcoming and made it feel worthwhile to go out to eat. I will note the place was also immaculate and clean, the girls building the bowls were attentive to not mix toppings and meats etc. Overall this was one of the better experiences our family has had eating out lately, and we will definitely be back.

This place is fantastic! This restaurant is fairly decent sized, located between a Mexican restaurant and ironically, a Panda Express (not sure why you would go to Panda when this is MUCH better and equally affordable). The dining room is well lit with about 10 to 12 tables and resembles a chipotle in terms of ordering process that funnels customers to the register. I ordered the smoked salmon roll, the spicy salmon roll, and a poke bowl. And on each one, the amount of ingredients and overall portion sizes far exceed what you typically expect for a sub $10 price point. My Poke Bowl was really exceptional and the purple rice is legit! It did feel and taste a little more starchy than regular white sushi rice but I liked it. Evidently they have two locations, with another location in Central Scottsdale. This will definitely be one of my go to sushi spots in the valley.

It was way too much and it ruined the sandwich completely the meat in the sandwich at least was really good. It's just a coleslaw.
