Spicy Ahi Bowl
John S.

Met a friend for lunch today and couldn't have asked for a better Huntington Beach afternoon -- sunny, warm, and perfect for grabbing a table outside. The patio alone puts you in a good mood. I went with the spicy ahi bowl, and it was a solid choice. Fresh, good flavor, nothing over the top but consistently strong. Portion was big enough that I even had leftovers for the next day, which is always a bonus. Presentation was clean and inviting, aka cool slanted bowl. My buddy ordered the California burrito...or "the Stoner burrito (fries inside)" as my kids call it -- and he seemed pretty happy with it. Good size, hearty, and disappeared fast. Service was friendly and relaxed, exactly what you expect from a beach spot. Overall, just a great place to sit outside, enjoy the day, and appreciate the beauty of Huntington Beach while having a good meal. Would come back.

10.3.25: I was visiting a friend who lives down here and she comes here on a regular and said I had to try it. It's California so I already knew parking was going to be difficult, not to mention it's the weekend of the air show. However, we found parking in a near by garage, which was just a short walk across the street to the restaurant. When we walked in, my friend wanted to sit at the bar, so we did. She saw her friend Charlie was working and he was our server. He was pretty laid back and friendly. My friend ordered us the edamame as an appetizer and it was really good. It took a while for it to arrive, but when it did, it was hot, spicy, and garlicky. It was pan fried with some really yummy spices. As for entrees, I ordered the Aloha Bowl with tofu and my friend ordered the same but with broccoli beef. It also comes with 2 fried vegetable spring rolls. My tofu bowl full of flavor and decently sized too. The spring rolls were a nice addition and were fried well done. I would order the tofu bowl again. Ambience wasn't too busy and the general feel I get from the place is that they are super laid back and run on island time, if you know what I mean. Since we're right on the beach, this Hawaiian inspired spot was perfect for lunch.

Stopped by No Ka Oi for breakfast on a Sunday, and the whole area was buzzing with people out for football Sunday. We decided to sit in the back patio area, which was a lot quieter and more relaxed than the lively indoor section filled with game-day energy. Our server, Sara, was friendly and attentive. We ordered a margarita, frittata, and the Kilauea eggs benedict. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the outdoor seating was a nice spot to enjoy the morning. The food and drink were good, but nothing that stood out as exceptional. Still, it was an enjoyable visit overall. I'd like to come back on a calmer day to give it another try and explore more of the menu.

Loco moco with potatoes and macadamia pancakes with bananas
Brenda C.

Ehh will not come back. The service sucked, everyone was just hanging out and chit chatting. You have to really flag people down because if it's not their table then no one cares. It was slow and not that much people inside the restaurant but we barely got help. It took some time to flag someone down for a knife for my pancakes. The food was mehh as well. It was alright food with higher beach food prices. For the price and service we receive, there are many other better options in the area. Since it was slow, not sure why it took sooo long to get our food and check. I got the macadamia pancakes with bananas and it literally tasted like regular plain pancakes, nothing special but almost $20.

Salsa . Verde and Red

One of the best if not the only place to eat Loco Mocos. I have been coming here for years! I never seem to tire on the juicy patties with white rice. Also great bloody Mary's and Mimosas at this location The staff is nice and respectful at this establishment. Restrooms are kept clean. Nice Ambiance both indoor and outdoor! We usually stay outside patio, we get to see unusual people walk by lol. Overall, the best place to eat Breakfast for me. This is a must try. Parking lot is directly across the street.

We were walking around Huntington Beach when our friends decided to meet up with us on Main Street for dinner. We chose this spot, and luckily, it was still happy hour. Our server was excellent--very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the Hawaiian Kalua pork sliders. They sounded better than they tasted--just okay. My husband got the fish tacos, which were also pretty mediocre. But to be fair, we probably shouldn't have expected too much from a happy hour menu that includes an alcoholic drink with the entrée. Portions were on the smaller side. The ambiance was nice, though. We sat out on the patio area set up along the street. Our server made the experience more comfortable by turning up the heat lamp and lowering the blinds to block the wind and sun. Overall, great service and a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was just average.

Mai Thai

I came to have a famous mai thi and appetizer . They were out of the homemade mix . Edhar was the only one to male our mix for and a group of people and myself was happy . I'll be back

Onolicious Omelette Sandwich (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. I love the Hawaiian Buns for the omelette sandwich, and the potatoes were nicely fried! The burrito was huge! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! It is located by the beach! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! You don't need a host for indoor seating as you can walk in and grab an available table! 4. The staff was friendly and attentive! 5. Parking involves metered street parking, paid parking structures, and paid beach parking! Metered Parking is single line and not compact! Note: There is a fee for credit card transactions! Also, restrooms require a code! Photo: Onolicious Omelette Sandwich and Portuguese Almoco Burrito

Fritatta and chilaquiles
Jevonah K.

Food was great. Seating was quick for a Sunday morning. Portions were great. My friend ordered her chilaquiles without onion and it came with. My friend is shy and didn't say anything. When the server came to check on us, I had already finished eating. My friend didn't eat hers at all. The server didn't ask why her food was untouched, and my friend didn't speak up. It all went to waste. Bummer that her food didn't come correct as ordered, but mistakes do happen sometimes.

Eggs Florentine
Stacy P.

Don't go; avoid at all cost. There are a wealth of better choices surrounding this location. I'm going to post a photo of my inedible breakfast which tasted as if someone dumped paprika and chili powder all over the Eggs Florentine. To their benefit they did not charge me for this, but my husband's order was just as bad. This photo was taken after we completed the meal and decided to leave.

Nachos
Nana K.

Adding a star to my updated review, because brunch at No Ka Oi was excellent today! They have generous portions, and food was cooked to perfection this morning. I ordered their egg florentine, which was delicious. I love the way they poach their eggs. Hubbie had had their corned beef hash, which was so good! Their corned beef is nice and chunky, with a right amount of crisp. My daughter had their seafood enchilada, which looked delicious as well. Today, we found out that there is a back patio you can sit at as well! It was nice and quiet, we enjoyed our brunch very much. Looking forward to going back and trying one of their many tempting Benedict choices.

EXCELLENT hawaiian food. Their chili peppa chicken (CPC) is to die for. The plate comes with mac…read moresalad and rice. The chicken bone in thighs are HUGEEE, a 2 pc plate is definitely a sufficient portion. The fried chicken is some of the best, juicy inside and super flaky and crispy outside. The spicy garlic sauce is perfectly sticky and has great flavor. The mac salad is creamy and includes potato. I'd rate the CPC plate 6/5 - DA BOMB! We also got a spam musubi, which was delicious, good spam to rice ratio and yummy sweet sauce. 5/5 musubi. I also tried their DHK bowl which is a huge bowl including poke, kalua pig (or lau lau), seaweed salad, and lomi salmon. I liked that it was an option to try a little bit of everything. The ahi poke was super fresh, with minimal sauce. The seaweed salad was sweet and not very fishy. The kalua pig was tender. The lomi salmon was probably my least favorite because it was pretty salty. I'd rate the DHK bowl a 3/5. Their new menu seems to be focused on CPC chicken with only a few other options. Also note there's no indoor seating, and they only have a couple of picnic tables outside.

So this has to do with their stand at the Heritage of Aloha event this weekend (Saturday) in Santa…read moreFe Springs. I had bookmarked this place but after my experience with their foodstand, I'm hesitant to try their brick and mortar store. So the HoA event started at 10 am. People started lining up for their stand around 9:45 am. They didn't open at 10...or 10:15 or 10:30. I finally asked they said 15 more minutes. 10:45 came and went. We finally heard 5 minutes until opening at 10:55 am. 11 am came and went. They finally opened at 11:10 am. When I finally place more order, they didn't have the smoked meats or port musubi. What a let down. So I had to order the Kalua Pig and Spam Musubi. When I asked how much longer it would be for the smoked meat, the "auntie" said at least 30 minutes to an hour...which means in Hawaiian...sometime later today maybe before we close. Food wise, it was okay. Nothing special. Definitely not food worthy of going to their store. And they didn't even provide utensils when I picked up my food. Note to whoever runs this at events. If you're not going to open until 11 am (an hour after the event begins) at least put a sign out. And if you're not going to have certain food items ready an hour after you open, do better and be more considerate to the customers who had been waiting over an hour and now walked away disappointed.

My cousin recommended this place to me during my last visit to Huntington Beach. He was very positive as well as satisfied with the food and the service of North Shore Poke. Their overall service was undoubtedly very good, but the taste and quality of the food were the only aspects that left me disappointed! I went to North Shore Poke Co. for lunch on March 28, 2026 after my visit to Huntington Beach. The place was moderately crowded the time I got in. The interior is nicely designed, capturing a traditional Hawaiian vibe. I chose the custom poke bowl - a small bowl with Rice and Salad, topped with three Hawaiian sauces (Traditional Shoyu, Spicy Mayo, and Spicy Shoyu), along with Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and extras like Cucumber, Masago, and Furikake. I also added Fresh Spicy Tuna and Seaweed Salad, which cost an additional $4.50! What disappointed me most was being charged for the Seaweed Salad, as many other poke spots typically include it as a complimentary topping. Their service was fast, and my small poke bowl was served within 5 minutes. The portion size felt underwhelming, considering the price I paid. The taste was also below average. They claim that their fish is "Fresh", my poke bowl unfortunately didn't reflect that. Most concerning of all, the Fresh Spicy Tuna seemed spoiled and had a very unpleasant smell! When I informed them, they promptly replaced the Fresh Spicy Tuna with Blue Crab. But by that time, I had lost my appetite due to the incident and could barely finish my poke bowl. North Shore Poke Co. might be one of the top poke spots in Huntington Beach, but I would still rank The Poke Place in Rancho Cucamonga and Ahipoki Bowl in Rialto well above it. Most likely I'm not coming back to this place again!
