We went there for the Poke bowls. They were fresh and delicious. We definitely want to go back to try the sushi as we saw a couple of tables order and the rolls had what looked about 8 pieces that were huge. The presentation was impressive and we will be going back to try other things. read more

This is my favorite spot in Denton whenever I'm craving a poke bowl! Their Build Your Own Poke Bowl is my go-to - I usually go with ahi tuna and sometimes add spicy tuna or tempura shrimp as a second protein, then load up on all the fresh toppings. Their combination fried rice is also a solid pick if you're looking for something extra filling. Everything's always fresh, and you can add tons of toppings (avocado and cream cheese cost extra, but most toppings are included). My favorite sauce mix is the spicy mayo and ponzu. Plus, they always throw a little treat in the to-go bag, like Starburst, which I think is a great touch. During Lent, especially on Fridays, it can get pretty packed, but most of the year it's a nice, quiet spot for lunch. Parking at lunchtime can be a bit tricky, though - I've sometimes had to park by McAlister's or the Armed Forces Career Center and walk over, or drive around until a spot opens up. I usually order online, and while I wish they had an app to make it even easier, their service is impressively fast. I can place an order when I leave work, and by the time I get there - about 10 minutes later - it's ready to go. read more

Solid poke place! It's always so hard for me to find new places to get poke/sushi in general because so many places do it wrong but Hauoli does it right! Super fast service, fresh fish (I always get ahi tuna and salmon), such good sauces (my faves are yum yum and ponzu), and the amazing customer service. This is my 4th time I've gotten take out from here and I'm so glad that I'm able to enjoy this gem in Denton! read more

Horrible service. Cashier is rude and having a stuck up manner. Will not return again

From the second you walk in to the second you leave, the people are so nice! The Queen Lion knocked my socks off! The lady was so amazing and so happy to be there! The inside is beautiful! The food melts in my mouth! Top 2 sushi I've had in Denton and it's not second! Please bring your friends and family to experience this! read more

Conveniently located off of University close to alot of shopping centers. I thought the restaurant was cute and loved the decals on the walls. I decided to build my own bowl with salmon, edamame, cucumber, mango and a couple of other goodies that escape me at the moment. I thought the flavors were pretty good but thought there could have been more protein. Not a bad price point though and the customer service was great! read more

Great food, great service!! Enjoyed edamame and ahi tuna bowl. Also had roll that was fresh and delicious

Food is sssoooooo amazing and owner is so nice and kind!!! I'd like to come here again!!

My family and I are pretty much hooked on the fried rice dishes and the spring rolls, and one day we'll venture past our go-to order here. One of my kids is picky about the fried rice, and this is their favorite. Besides the food, I love that you can do free pick ups on the order. The last few times I've come to pick up, they've been playing funny pet videos on the lobby tv, so I get a dose of cute during my (short) wait. The folks here are friendly, and I like the place. I'll update when I finally branch out. read more

$21 for double ahi tuna with fried rice poke. The portion was small (see photos) not sure if I even got my double protein. Pretty sure they didn't add the fried onion or garlic crisps toppings I asked for because there was no flavoring and the tuna isn't marinated. Worst of all the tuna was chewy. I have never had chewy fish before and it's off putting to say the least. It's like the texture when you get overcooked crab but more spongy. Overall gross and not what I expected from a 4 star place. read more

$19 on an inedible bowl. Fish was not fresh. Sauce flavorless. Service was fine. Nothing noteworthy on ambiance Ordered to go, so there was no fixing it. read more

So for a quick spot to get some poke to go, it's pretty good, but it gets 5 stars for the absolutely beastly service! The people here are so friendly and the lady that is here most the time smiles so big and the chef is non stop! read more

This place deserves an updated review. I've been ordering at least a couple times a month for a long while now and they've won me over. While I generally feel the same about their hibachi and appetizers since my first review, they have the best track record in town for consistent poke bowls. They have beat out the other spots in consistency, accuracy and flavor. While that definitely counts for something with me, keep in mind this review is about their poke bowls and not about the rest of the menu like my last review. I sometimes get their menu bowls and add/subtract items but I typically build my own bowl. That being said I usually have additional notes such as 'light on the sauce' and they always follow my instructions perfectly. Now full disclosure, when it comes to the protein I always get the salmon, although I will vary the toppings based on my mood, so I can't comment on all their bowls. The salmon has always been wonderful, fresh and tasty and since my first visit there has always been enough of it. The sushi rice is always cooked and seasoned correctly and the veggies are nice and fresh. One time I got a weird piece of mango and another time I had a couple of bitter pieces of cucumber, but other than that my orders have been completely delicious! When you consider this is out of at least 25 or 30 bowls, I'm completely satisfied and have come to rely on this place. At other businesses that offer poke bowls I can rarely say I've received a perfect bowl multiple times. Consider the fact that they are cheaper and they have great, filling portions and I don't know what else there is to discuss. Consistency is extremely important to me and I love that this place fulfills my poke cravings and never disappoints. The rest of their menu is perfectly fine, but don't sleep on the poke bowls- highly recommend! read more

Not the best sushi or poke I've had, even in Texas. The amount of seafood provided seemed a little small in comparison. And pandemic restrictions in full force like plastic walls between customers and staff, which was off-putting and made communication more difficult than necessary. But flavors were good, ingredients fresh. Staff friendly, to the extent I could understand them through a microphone and speaker. Parking abundant in the strip mall lot. Traffic on University makes it hard to return towards downtown and the square after your meal, as you need to make an unsignalled left after crossing three or four lanes of oncoming traffic. Try snaking through the parking lots to Bonnie Brae. Although everything was delivered at the same time (I hate that), we started with Edamame, which was served warm with quite a bit of salt. Really good size serving for two of us. I had the signature ahi tuna bowl and it had good flavors. Not huge, but I left satisfied. I did split a spicy tuna roll with my wife though. Note the roll comes with a mayo-based sauce on it. Unusual for spicy tuna. Also there was a touch of crunch to the roll. Again unusual but very subdued and I kind of liked it. $44 for two bowls, a sushi roll, edamame and two bottled drinks. Fairly austere interior and furniture only moderately comfortable. But it did seem clean and was quiet, despite the presence of a few other diners. Low volume Christmas tunes being played, which was appropriate for the time of year but doesn't say Japan of course. Not a place I would go out of my way for. But, I may go again when in the area. read more

Let me tell you, if I could give Hauoli Poke Teppan more than 5 stars, I would! This has to be hands down the best Japanese food I've ever had. I was greeted with amazing customer service, the restaurant was super clean on the inside, and got our order very quickly even though they were working on 3-4 other people's orders. From even before I took my first bite I knew that the food was high quality and it smelled wonderful. The food was delicious and their fried rice is the best I've ever had. After having it our first time, this will definitely be a regular spot my husband and I will visit again here soon read more

A favorite, my husband and I will definitely comeback when in Denton. Delicious menu, cleanliness and friendly environment a perfect place to satisfy your cravings. Their food and service earned my time to share my experience here. A must try. read more

I really like this little hole in the wall place. I especially love the build your own bowl. I've been here a number of times and it's always been fresh and yummy. Not the best I've ever had but for the consistent freshness, service and great value for the money, it deserves 5 stars. I would recommend! read more

I've been coming here with my partner for years. We went to school in Denton and now drive an hour just to come here. The fried rice is our favorite and they never disappoint! read more

What an amazing find! The sushi was super fresh and the Teppan was tasty and well prepared - all with great prices. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was well portioned with good chunks of tuna, crabmeat, jalapeños, spicy mayo, lettuce and rice. Next time I order, I'll probably ask for more lettuce and less rice but it was excellent. About the only way that they could possibly improve would be to offer the spicy tuna mix instead of chunked tuna for the poke bowl and to offer soy/rice paper for the sushi - just to be able to provide a different option. My kid ordered the chicken teppan and the fried rice. It was especially good and the chicken perfectly cooked. Even the vegetables had a very fresh and light flavor. Perfect amount of sauce to not overpower the dish. This one will definitely be a stop for a sushi, pole, and Teppan when we're up in the Rayzor Ranch area of Denton. read more

Being reviewer for so long i don't think I've ever been more shocked then coming here. The only reason I give this place two stars is because the lady working was extremely nice and made my food fast because of a time crunch (essential prioritizing my order over others before me). My biggest regret is not taking a picture of my food as proof. I ordered a poke bowl (which I have had MANY of from many different places). I even decided to splurge and get two meats instead of one. Ahi tuna and spicy salmon, I decided to get all but two toppings and all of the crunchy that they have. When I opened my bowl I was shocked. I want to say I was given way looked like 2.5-3 cups of just sushi rice and on top of that MAYBE 5 very tiny cubes of tuna and salmon. Majority of my bowl was just straight up crunchies (which isn't even a meal) equivalent to bread crumbs. The topping portion was still less then I've ever gotten from other poke places but because I did pick almost everything I'm giving them very little slack there. But to see the amount of fish I got that I paid extra for ($16 bowl) I'm honestly never coming back here. So if you want sushi rice with toppings and crunchies come here. I genuinely felt so ripped off and if I had the time to go back and complain I would've as well. read more

Super yummy! I got the Salmon sushi and a Salmon Poke bowl. The salmon on the sushi was nice and large. The poke had a great balance of sauce to ingredients; making it super yummy. I also had questions about the sushi and the lady working the counter was very helpful. Highly recommend! read more

So, I thought poke was raw fish with rice, etc. Turns out, you can have grilled shrimp or grilled chicken, or even tofu. You can have them make you a deconstructed cali roll....whatever you want in there! NEW FAVORITE!!! Who knew? Love it! Oh, and they have rolls and very good hibachi too. read more

Food is absolutely terrible. For the price you would imagine they would be a little bit more authenticity to it or at the very least some decent flavor. This is some from the box microwavable dinners. read more

Food was tasty but very small portions and extremely overpriced. Atmosphere is relaxing and the restaurant is clean.

It's not easy to find a poke bowl place in small towns, but thankfully I'm seeing a trend and they're popping up all over! I always order shrimp tempura when I order my poke bowls. All their fixins' are fresh. I ask for sauce on the side usually, since I am not sure on the spiciness. I eat here when I'm looking for something lite and not so heavy for a meal. Their serving size is like any other poke bowl packed with veggies. My food was made fresh and the shrimp was still hot when I got my order. Inside is decorated really nice with ocean vibes. I have come here about 3 times already and each experience was good. read more

I like the customized poke bowls, fresh and yummy and a good amount of topping to rice ratio.

A Must! DELICIOUS EVERYTHING .... generous portions, clean food, immaculate restaurant, fresh every time, & SO nourishing~ this is such health food & I always feel so great after eating here.... The people work hard in the kitchen, & I really appreciate the easy prefill order forms & fast service. We'd go more often if it was closer, but this place will make u crave a poke bowl;) Only suggestions wld b to offer more pickled toppings & perhaps one day add freshly made healthy tonic drinks/juices/teas~ so much potential! maybe one day this restaurant can expand into a new location with a zen garden patio, & add a tea house ~ YUM! thank you for all the good energy thats put into this food! read more

This is one of our favorite sushi/hibachi spots for quick service and great food. I only gave it a 4 because it is pricy, which I expect for hibachi being cooked in front of you, but not being served in to go containers. read more

Everything is amazing. We generally pick up the steak and chicken hibachi to go. It's enough food for two meals and is absolutely delicious. We've also had many of the poke bowls and they're all so, so good. read more

Best poke I've tried so far! I've had their Hawaiian salmon bowl and the ahi tuna bowl and both are very delicious and fulfilling! All the ingredients taste fresh and the bowls are made with time, not just thrown together. I would've liked avocado in the ahi tuna bowl but other than that the flavors are great. Also, I would like more portions of the fish, but it's not bad for the price they give. The mayo based sauce they drizzle on top makes the whole bowl come together. Overall a great poke place to come to in Denton!! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had the Poke Bowl "A" (Ahi Tuna). It was very good. The tuna was fresh, the other ingredients were also. The rice was sticky making the bowl very easy to eat with chop sticks. The team was friendly, and reasonably quick with preparing my meal. The environment is clean, simple and inviting. I will be back. read more

This place is amazing! I absolutely love poke so when I found out about this place I immediately made a trip. I really enjoy their Hawaiian poke bowl, shrimp tempura is so good here! I have tried dumplings from a couple other places and this place seems to have the best in Denton so far! Every time they are made fresh! Slightly crunchy on the outside and so good on the inside. I have never been a fan of sushi but god this place made me a sushi lover, strongly recommend the spicy mayo sushi! The Hawaiian sushi is also another great choice! read more
