    Original poke bowl with fresh cilantro, seaweed, jalapeño, etc etc!
    Andrew A.

    I use to think Jus Poke in redondo beach had the best poke in the South Bay. Then I was introduced to King Poke and was blown away. The way the poke is prepared here is top notch. Super fresh fish in their original poke bowl (salmon, tuna, white fish) with the toppings of your choosing. So damn good! The portions are more than fair. The staff have always been kind and courteous willing to answer all of your questions to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. Place isn't very big inside, but there're a few tables if you want to dine in. They make a simple and perfect spam masubi as well. The next time you're craving a poke bowl, and if you haven't tried King Poke, do yourself a favor and get in there!

    Small poke bowl with all tuna. Rice and noodle salad base. Creamy sesame sauce and fried onion, cilantro and seaweed topping.

    One of my absolute favorite Poke spots in the South Bay! There's no other poke establishment that allows you to completely customize your bowl from your base, toppings, sauce and fish! They have special sauces that I can't find anywhere else. Creamy sesame and Korean spicy bean paste being a couple of them! Love the options for the bases, sushi rice or noodle salad are my go to's! Can't go wrong with their fried salmon fish tacos too. This place needs more traction, truly a hidden gem here in the South Bay.

    I've ordered a few times and also picked up. The poke is very good considering we're not on the islands. They have three sizes, their choices for toppings aren't a lot but are the traditional for Poke. After choosing your size and the toppings, you can get it as spicy as you want. The rice is almost perfect like sushi rice and seasoned/flavored good. I noticed a lot of people order out and don't choose to dine in. We did, as it was great to chill alone and enjoy the meal. The prices are reasonable and not too expensive, as like other poke eateries further up PCH. Anyway, Enjoy! We did.

    The best place for poke bowls! I've tried so many other places and none of them come close to what you get here. All the ingredients are fresh and there are what seem to be endless combinations you can create. Service is great, that staff is always friendly. The restaurant itself is a little small but always clean. Highly recommend King Poke!

    Spicy Tuna Bowl Sorry about the fuzzy picture

    I would say it was delicious. I would recommend a medium to be satisfied. I would say they put a lot of flavors in there. It's preset so you don't choose what you want in it. I ordered through uber eats so I wouldn't be able to say how fast they prepped it. I didn't go there either so I can't say if it was busy or if the location was small or big.

    My boyfriend and I were in the area looking for a no frills lunch, and I dug through my bookmarks and we found King Poke. They are located in a small plaza with a private parking lot, but there is street parking if the lot gets full. Their Original Poke Bowl comes with tuna, salmon, albacore, white fish and masago so you don't pick your protein like at other places. It also has cucumber, imitation crab, onions, avocado, green onions and sesame seed unless you opt out. My boyfriend had a Medium ($13.75) and I had a Small ($11.75). I opted out of the onions and green onions. For my base I went with half brown rice half salad. I opted for the ponzu and spicy mayo sauces. You get 3 toppings, and I went with fried onion, fried garlic chips, and wonton chips. There was plenty of small tables in the restaurant, but not well maintained. They had AC on, but it was still a little not cool enough. Food came out with a reasonable wait time. The poke was good value. I would prefer to pick my own protein but for a bowl of similar size in my local area, it would cost significantly more. We agreed it was a decent no frills spot for lunch. I would consider it if I was already in the area, but not something I would go out of my way for.

    There is ramen sold on sundays and mondays -- it's a one man shop, but it's probably the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. Definitely the best ramen in LA.

    Second time trying this place, first time was last weekend lol That's how good it is! 10/10 on freshness and good flavors ! TBH can't beat the price either, also the customer service is amazing, &!they are fast! And can't beat a stamp card!!!

    Was craving Poke and decided to go somewhere nearby. This place is great but the serving size is so small. I got a medium and I thought it was a small bowl. Whatever was in my medium bowl could definitely fit in a small bowl. We also got the glazed garlic shrimp plate! Very good on seasoning and the sauces but a little overcooked. Other than that, cool place. Very nice people!

    I love coming here for poke!!! The fish is always fresh & the toppings are soooo good! I could eat here every single day. The service is always amazing and quick. Inside is always so clean, I like to eat right then and there for maximum freshness and deliciousness! Love it here!

    Wow! This is some very affordable poke. Will say the location itself seems a bit more on the sketch side but maybe that's just my thought. I got a small and medium poke bowl and the total came out to only $25. This poke place is a tad different than the poke where they make in front of you. You tell them what toppings you want and they make it in the back and call you when it's ready. Ingredients selection is pretty decent, not the most but it's reasonable. In terms of quality I thought it was good. I tried out the spicy tuna bowl which really hit the spot. It had all the components I'd like in a poke bowl. My wife got the regular poke bowl with ponzu and the fish itself tasted good but idk if we like the ponzu sauce, it was errr interesting. Overall I liked this spot because the fish was pretty fresh and it was a very reasonable price. They have stamp card where you get 1 free medium bowl with a drink after 15 stamps (2x stamps if you order from 4pm-8pm). Parking - Shared lot with a few local restaurants nearby, it's a pretty small lot not sure if it ever gets full.

    I usually kill this but I mostly ate the ginger look how much ginger is my side

    This place used to be so good I even brought a sushi chef (now works for Nobu) and 2 years ago this place was outstanding. The quality of the fish and the prep was great. I'm not sure what this is now. The fish texture is kind of old and a pinch of Masago a pinch of the imitation crab mostly tuna barely any wonton chips or garlic chips and a huge portion of Ginger lmao. I get times are tough but hire a legitimate cook to prep the dish. A small piece of a half slice of avocado. What happened to the food... time to find a new spot.

    I have been to Hawaii. A friend of mine won a give away by stuffing a ballot box at a grocery…read morestore, and then he gave me the plus one ticket. Was it a trip gotten via ill ways? Back then I did not think of that. And now that I do, I say the breeze of Hawaii would help anyone understand that what he did was a youth Indiscretion, like going for a swim in the cloak of darkness while only wearing a lei. Going to Back Home in Lahaina was not a trip back to the Big Island, I won't say that, but it was a moment of joy inspired heavily by a Hawaiian decor that both bordered on the tragically kitsch and the whimsically fun depending on where you stood or sat. But the true treasure of this Hawaiian micro-isle is their fare-- no doubt about that. After the meal my friend Conrad and I went to the front of the house, where they have the to go section. This is where the kitsch became most circus-y. Although, I did not clip everyhing, I did clip a make your own lei kit, hawaiian stickers, and other things that make the place feel like a tourist trap for Hawaiian hopefuls. For me, the tawdry lessened the impact of the Aloha I heard from the dining room. In sharp contrast, the main dining room had this mural of a whale coming out of deep blue water with Hawaiian florals on the edge of the land that was more transportive to the land where coconuts fall from palm trees and hula skirts are a must for every closet. The main room dining room also had these string lights and sphere paper lamps that made me feel like I was eating at a night market where I could see the stars of a Hawaiian skiy but it was both day time, and there was a roof above me. The food was the situation that needs to be address though, with great respect and admiration because almost every bite was supremely good. My friend Conrad and I first shared a Lahaina Platter- basically their appetizer platter or to be Hawaiian their pupu platter, and please do not go for the easy joke it is not that funny and really kind of base and gross, if the wrong person is making it. The must of the spot, unsurprisingly, is their Lahaina fried chicken. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and kind of like karage chicken but different with the spices and flavors and ocean fronts of Hawaii. I know I did not make sense but I gotta believe that Hawaiian culture made the dish great and Hawaiian culture is partly define by waterfront property. My favorite things from the dish were the Lumpia which are often described as Filipino eggrolls. The pork meat was flavorful, the paper wrapping was on point, like wonderfully thin yet still structurally strong, not crispy, more firm with crisp. The Cinderella story of the day was the spam musubi. The saltiness of the seaweed was present but not in an overblown way, the sweetness of their teriyaki sauce carried savory notes that uplifted the sweet notes, in a wonderful way, their sticky rice was textbook fluffy and fabulous. Overall, I would nitpick flaws. And for this review I do not feel like finding the wrong cracks on a whole coconut skin. My main dish was their bbq grilled chicken plate. I could not finish everything at the restaurant. I had cold left overs at home and they hit the spot in this way that really earned my respect, because cold left overs still holding strong that is like seeing a shooting star while you enoy Mai Tais in a white beach---- living the improbable dream. What was best out of the bunch was their Lahaina chicken. And again, even though the fried goodness had withdrawn, the flavor and textured that remained was still, in a way, intact and in some ways optimal. I just shivered admitting that. I was happy with the food overall, and want to communicate that it was a strong showing for a place that sits within a strip mall. Do not just a shore by the lack of its crashing wave sounds. I also love the name of this place. Like I went back to Lahaina, has personality. Like it is a name that drips from the tongue even though it is long. Pluis, saying multiple times in a conversation makes the place feel important. Conrad had some cheesecake with jello and he loved it. I did not try it, but it was unique and I did not think such a dessert existed. The crust was walnut, I would have thought it would be Macadamia. I definetetly love this place and want to back again soon!

Our entrees arrived, which looked phenomenal, but was then again hit with blandness even though it was smothered in sauce. The burger was bland and the Mac salad tasted like mush.

    Torrance Food Crawl #442…read more Ali'i Hawaiian Grill offers a minimalist approach with a simple menu that has a limited selection. For the Poke bowls, select your bowl size, pick two from the four or so fish choices, a base (rice or salad), and for most bowls a side or two. After several visits, my experience has been fine each time. Good quality fish and fresh sides. There are also some plate options where you can select Huli Chicken or Kalua Pork. I've tried both the chicken and pork (though not on the plate option), and both were excellent. This location used to be strictly take-out, but now there are two tables inside if you'd like to sit inside. I feel compelled to mention that when I recently visited this location, they had a health grade of B from LA County displayed in the window. Yelp shows that they had 14 health code violations on September 18. Usually, I don't show too much concern for these health scores, but when a restaurant's primary product is raw fish, a lower score gets my attention.

I was a fan of their El Segundo location but I believe it is gone. This place had about 5 or 6 different fresh poke styles available during our visit. We tried the Hawaiian, the Creamy Garlic Crunch, and the Sweet and Spicy. We also ordered the Chips and Smoked Ahi Dip, and the Huli Chicken Bowl. I think I loved everything. The Creamy Garlic Crunch poke was especially amazing. It had a slight spicy kick to it and it was rich and delicious. The chips that came with the dip were obviously freshly-made wontons and I could have eaten a hundred of them. The dip was good but not as flavorful as I had hoped or had in the past. For the chicken bowl, the rice and cucumbers that came with the chicken were excellent. You get a ton of mac salad and it is excellent. The chicken was solid, too. Unless they are hiding in plain sight, the places that just sell fresh poke, without the bowl, are few and far between in Southern California. I love poke bowls, too, but sometimes the poke by itself (with the different sauces and seasoning) is just incredible. This spot serves delicious fresh poke and I will always be a fan.
