North Shore Plate Lunch - Da bes - Hawaiian Near Me - Norco, California

My first time going to this Hawaiian style eatery. Everything looked amazing. I had the Loco. Moco. Was I disappointed... No was I blown away... No. Here's why. Well let me say the gravy was DELICIOUS! My egg was overcooked though. No biggie, I will just make it clear next time that I want a runny egg but I thought that was standard and any other way has to be stated. The rice was also good. Definitely nothing to complain about. The one thing that I think need to be addressed is the patty. It was very thin... Still not a deal breaker but it the texture was dry and not hamburger like if that makes since at all. It's only because the patty might be a hard item for them to change that I was left let down. read more

disclaimer: This is not a review of the food. I have yet to eat it. This is a review regarding timeliness. There is no reason, no matter how busy, that a simple two item plate should take over 55 minutes. Insanity. I'd refund if I could. I'm still waiting here. read more

Stopped by here for a weekend lunch. Small parking lot in the back was full, but we were able to find a spot in front for street parking. Both our ahi poke bowl and the loaded spam musubi were solid. Poke bowl portion was pretty hefty with good cuts of fish and flavor. The togarashi added a nice touch to the musubi. Will try again next time we're in the area! read more

This was our first time here. I've been craving some Hawaiian food. It's been about a year since we last had some out in Hawaii, and it's hard to find good. Authentic spots came across this location on yelp and hands down everything. We ate was absolutely delicious from starting to finish. The chicken was super tender and juicy. Great flavor de Kalúa pork, reminding me of a location. We ate out in Waikiki. The short ribs were BOMB! Every single thing was cooked to perfection!! The spicy Poke nachos were delicious made with freshly made wontons And to finish our meal we enjoyed a delicious slice of their homemade coconut cake. Definitely coming back they got two new customers for life !! Location is clean. Workers are super nice definitely a place for you to come out and check out if you're in the mood for some authentic Hawaiian food. read more

Was out here showing some homes and found this place on yelp. So glad I stumbled upon it! Super friendly people and definitely reminded me of my trip to Oahu North Shore.

North Shore Plate Lunch - The lunch special; ribs, chicken & awesome pokey. I ate the whole thing and I'm ready for a nap, but that was amazing. - Hawaiian Near Me - Norco, California

Been hearing about this place. Had a late lunch and decided to give it a try. Place is not big but not small. More medium size place. They have their own parking lot. But it is small. We got shoyu poke nachos (fried wontons), loco moco and xl plate. The xl combo plate was good and came with a lot. Loco moco was solid. Not the best I've had but above average. Poke had a lot of flavor. Just a tad little salty for my taste but was spot on for a couple of the others. Also got 2 spam musibis and a slide of haupia pie. Good and quick service. Price wasn't a little steep but right now it's up to par with everything else. read more

We were visiting from the East Coast for my daughter's soccer tournament and had heard great things about this place from her teammates, so we decided to give it a try. Although it's a small restaurant with limited seating, it was clean, cozy, and welcoming. The food was full of flavor, and the portions were very generous. Whether you're visiting from out of town or you're a local, this is definitely a place worth checking out! read more

I always stop by here when I'm in the area and it's literally my favorite place. My favorite thing here is their poke. They have different flavors and all are so delicious. The only downside is I do wish they added a little more cucumbers to the bowl but that's it otherwise it's perfect. The parking lost is in the back and pretty small. It can get packed. There is plenty of seating inside and the staff is always friendly. read more

North Shore Plate Lunch - Poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Norco, California

Showed up for Joel S.'s UYE lunch w my husband, my kiddo, and about 20 fellow Yelpers... and took over half the restaurant like hungry Hawaiian-food Avengers. Started strong w 2 orders of Poke Nachos, which disappeared faster than our willpower near a dessert table lol! The mac salad was a solid win too.... extra points for NOT sneaking tuna into it like every other Hawaiian BBQ joint seems legally obligated to do. My only beef (or should I say rib?) was the portion sizes..... those kalbi ribs were looking a little shy & very tiny compared to what I'm used to. Portion sizes were very small!!!!! But then the Guava Cake arrived. One bite and BOOM!!!.... guava flavor slapped me in the face in the most affectionate way possible!!!! Absolute star of the meal!! We also enjoyed a surprise Haupia cake for my husband's birthday... coconut cream and pineapple teaming up like the dessert dream team. Service was stellar. Super friendly staff who somehow kept smiling even though we basically formed a Yelp colony in their dining room. Let's talk about parking... if you find a spot, immediately buy a lottery ticket bc LUCK is clearly on your side, there are like 6 spots total. Joel wrapped things up w a raffle, and my husband walked away w the grand prize. Great food, fun people, and lots of laughs!!! Big thanks to Joel for pulling off a fantastic UYE!! read more

From the moment I walked in, I felt transported straight to Hawaii. The ambiance is effortlessly relaxing -- warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated in a way that truly captures the spirit of the islands without feeling overdone. It's the kind of place where you instantly slow down and savor the experience. The poke nachos were outstanding -- impeccably fresh with a satisfying crisp that held up beautifully to every topping. The garlic shrimp was rich, buttery, and packed with flavor, paired perfectly with steamed white rice cooked to fluffy perfection. And the mac salad? Easily the standout. Ultra-creamy, well-balanced, and nostalgic in the best way -- it tied the entire meal together. What truly elevated the experience was the service. They were incredibly attentive, answered all of my questions, and took the time to thoughtfully explain each dish. That level of care makes such a difference and shows they genuinely take pride in what they serve. If a trip to Hawaii isn't on your calendar anytime soon, this is the next best thing -- an authentic, thoughtfully executed taste of the islands that absolutely delivers. read more

12/14/25 For the third AND FINAL try, before Yelp yanks my review out, this place consistently dish out yummy island grinds. Staff are very friendly & welcoming, the ambiance is cool with island themed aesthetics. Got the poke nachos-my favorite! Got Hubby the huge plate lunch, I don't remember which coz my photos were deleted by Yelp as well. Portions were generous & the flavors are lip smacking. Parking is indeed a problem, only a few places/spots. I'm done redoing my review for Yelp to yank it out again. TDLR: great food & ambiance, awesome service. Mahalo! read more

I couldn't believe I haven't reviewed this aloha local place! Been coming here since they opened and every time brings back memories. Every single dish is so ono and for the pricing and portion, it's cheaper than a plane ticket to Hawaii. Loving their poke nachos, definitely not your typical Cali poke and their loco moco is just to die for. Their cucumber kimchi is on another level. Definitely come here when you miss local Hawaiian food. read more

Come out to the North Shore! If you bee looking for that Hawaiian score! This place will have your tastebuds buzzing Fo Sho! An that's something a foodie just can't ignore! So come on down and take a delicious tour. I started off with the Spam Musubi which was pretty good but not made to order for some reason. Next up was the Poke Bowl Nachos which were legit to my tastebuds and that spicy mayo made this happen for sure. To complete the trio of treats was the Medium Plate which came with Kalua Pork and Beef complimented with a tasty scoop of Mac Salad. Ok, that was definitely a good way to end this foodie adventure. Service was great but they have limited parking so beware other than that it's a legit place if you're looking for those Hawaiian eats. And that's my take on it. Peace out my peeps... read more

Came here for a casual lunch with some friends that somehow turned into a whole mini party. Cheesecake, a tuxedo, a photo shoot, and gifts. All we needed were some hula dancers to turn this into a full pāʻina. Outside looks like a classic roadside spot with the red awning and picnic tables, but once you step inside, it turns into a chill island diner with surf vids and North Shore vibes. There's parking in the rear, but tight. Tighter than squeezing into a beach lot at North Shore during surf season. Saimin came through with pure comfort. Nothing fancy, just right. The mixed plate was delicious, and yeah... it was loaded up all right. Teriyaki beef, kalua pork, rice, and mac all pressed in together. The way I like it. The mochiko chicken was ridiculous. Easily the best I've ever had. Chicken was tender and juicy, and let's be real, juicy is always a good thing. Service was solid from start to finish, and backed by that island-friendly hospitality. Each time our server walked out, we reacted like they were calling the next draft pick. Shoutout to Joel for getting everyone together at the same time... well, everyone except one. You already know who was fashionably late. Cue music. North Shore Plate Lunch brought real North Shore energy. Big flavors, laid-back feel, and a lunch that hit like a quick escape to the islands. Easily worth a halfway-to-Hana drive. read more

I had a lovely experience at North Shore (Norco). I ordered the Garlic Shrimp Plate ($15.99) and the Ahi Poke Nachos ($15.99). I felt happy as I savored its fresh flavors, juicy textures, and filling portion sizes. "DELICIOUS!! Ahh!!" I arrived at North Shore (Norco) on Saturday (around 11:05AM - near opening time). The private rear parking lot is cramped; it holds about seven cars. Fortunately, I found a spot; however, it makes more sense to use the adjacent neighboring businesses' parking plazas and briskly walk over. Staff is very friendly, welcoming, and cheerful. Staff (receipt says Giovannah) answered all my questions and provided helpful recommendations. The food arrived crazily quick (less than four minutes), but I'll attribute it to being early. As mentioned, I absolutely adored the North Shore Garlic Shrimp Plate ($15.99) and the Ahi Poke Nachos ($15.99). The Garlic Shrimp Plate ($15.99) included eight plump "EZ Peel Shrimp," Steamed Rice, and fresh Mac Salad. These thick Shrimps were juicy, and they dripped with savory garlic sauce. The Mac Salad had bouncy, firm macaroni noodles & fresh, bright sauce. The Steamed Rice was clean & soft. Despite the name, Ahi Poke Nachos ($15.99), there's no cheese. It's simply a large portion of fresh ahi (sushi grade tuna) resting upon airy, crisp wonton chips. For this order, I also selected the "spicy mayo" sauce; however, the heat is very gentle. "DELICIOUS!!!!" I felt myself melt into a stress-free puddle as my teeth sink softly into its silky sashimi. To my utter joy, this lightly chilled & fresh poke melted in my mouth. Next, its wonton chips had a firm, light, and crisp crunch. I felt my smile widening. The sauce's savory sweetness, the airy chips, and bright poke combined to make an indescribably delicious meal! Regarding ambiance, North Shore (Norco) is casual, clean, and welcoming. The floors and inside tables are shiny and well-maintained. It's also well-ventilated with its five spinning ceiling fans. There's also four flat screen TVs; two played football, and two others showed Hawaiian/soothing visuals. The location also has plenty of seating; there's about 13 tables inside. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. I also appreciated how the location is family-friendly by having several baby highchairs. The music is also clear and upbeat. If I were to nitpick, the four outside tables on the front patio weren't the cleanest; I observed a couple dead bugs just laying about. Overall, North Shore (Norco) offers amazing food! The food is filling, affordable, and extremely delicious. To my utter joy, the hype is real! I left very happy and full. If nearby, it's an easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "GO!!!!" read more

My husband and I came here for the second unofficial get together that was put together by Joel S. He did a fantastic job hosting the event. We had a good time meeting everyone at the event. We also celebrated 3 birthdays for the month of November. Thanks Leilani M. for bringing the delicious chocolate cake for my husband. We ordered: Large plate - Kalbi and Kalua Pork, Rice and Mac Salad - We shared Kalbi and my husband ate his Kalua Pork with rice. Kalbi was tender and was cooked to perfection. Kalua Pork was good. Mac Salad was well seasoned and delicious without fishy tuna. Ahi Poke Nachos - My husband absolutely loved it. 2 sodas Dessert - Coconut Haupia Cake - Absoutley amazing fluffy cake with perfect frosting with coconut strips. Service was fantastic. Ambiance is nice and clean. Limited tables inside and outside. Highly recommended. read more

North Shore Plate Lunch Norco, CA Date went 11/15/25 Time went 5:50pm Ordered food for dine in at 5:53pm Our food was brought to us at 6:02pm (9 minute wait time) Food ordered: Pork sliders ($10.99; substituted my Mac salad for french fries) 1 large plate ($16.99; order with Kalbi and Kalua pork) Fountain drink ($3.00) Grand total: $34.62 with taxes included Food ratings: Pork sliders: 9/10; If there is ONE THING YOU MUST GET at this location it's the PORK SLIDERS. These were by far the best pork sliders my boyfriend and I have had at any location. The combination of the sweetness from the Hawaiian bread rolls and the oh so perfect saltiness from the pork was a divine combination. The juices from the pork were also soaked by the Hawaiian roll. Ahh so yummy! I don't like to eat pork, I refrain from including it as a part of my diet. I GLADLY welcomed these sliders as an exception to my no pork rule. My boyfriend actually preferred my sliders over his regular plate. Large plate: 8/10; The Kalbi was a bit different from what my boyfriend and I are used to. It has a Smokey flavor to it as if it was fire grilled. Not sure if it is though, just ever so lightly dry. Other locations we've tried have had bigger cuts of Kalbi that are normally covered in sauce. So, it's not necessarily that the Kalbi here is bad it's just different than the chain Hawaiian locations we've been to. The Kalua pork was just as yummy but was definitely missing that sweetness that my sliders had from the Hawaiian rolls. Atmosphere: The inside was cute and gave Hawaiian vibes. There was plenty of seating and the staff were friendly. Heads up: There's VERY limited parking (8 spots in the back, 1 in the front). This location offers catering! Sounds like a yummy option for parties and we are considering doing this in the future for ourselves. To conclude, we will be regular customers here! It is the best Hawaiian food location we've had, and North Shore has definitely earned its "Top 100 place to eat on Yelp" award! read more

I was really happy when they loaded it up with my XL plate. The chicken katsu was tender and crunchy. The galbi tasted delicious and were large slices.

I'm only giving this location a 4 star because we ordered it to go, so I didn't get to sit down and enjoy. Other than that I absolutely loved the food, enjoyed it a lot! Wait time as expected, only one cook back there and about of people ordering. So many over hyped restaurants but this Hawaiian bbq was yummy. I read reviews of the mac salad not being great, needing flavor but I thought it was delicious. More authentic, people are just used to that sweet mayo taste from Ono. Those spicy Poke nachos were fire! The beef tender, bbq was definitely summer bbq flavor yum! Pork was giving smoked pork bbq, moco loco was my least favorite but my husband enjoyed it. I definitely want to go back. read more

Two stars for the variety of options but the food is not good. I ordered a simple spam musubi and it was just gross. Absolutely no flavor, the spam was hard and not a crispy crust hard like a tough to bite through. I'm from the islands and will try any local Hawaiian spots near me but will not return here.

Hawaii is my favorite place, so I needed to test this place out to see how it compares the one and only Giovanni's. It's a hole in the wall with minimal parking, so b hopefully you find a spot! When you step inside it has a nice Hawaiian vibe with the decor and music. My garlic shrimp plate was $16, and I got a side of poke on the side for $10. Don't come too hungry, cause I waited 30 mins for my food. I tore into that bag so excited... and it did NOT disappoint. While it's not Giovanni's, it's DARN CLOSE!!!!! They're shrimp garlicky and so tasty. The Mac salad was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend! This says a lot coming from a Hawaii enthusiast. read more

First off. Parking... It was difficult to park as there are only a few spots at the back and a couple infront. Best to park at the strip behind it ... Once you enter, it gives off that tropical stop vibe. Order st the counter and wait for the food. Aside from the main menu, they have specials written on the board. I went for a katsu plate and a limu poke. The katsu was normal. The sauce was a little watered down, and the side of mac tasted like nothing. It was basically bland. The poke, was pretty good though. It was savory compared to the usual. The fish was fresh. No funky taste or smell. Not bad to be honest. the food came in at 29 dollars with tip and tax. Pretty expensive for what it is. Would probably not be craving for this type of food for sometime. read more

I love Hawaiian food and got a sudden cravings for garlic shrimp. I was going to be in this area and had this place bookmarked. I made my way over and there were plenty of space for parking in the back. I decided to order the North Shore Garlic Shrimp plate. The plate comes with ez peel shrimps, two scoop of rice, and mac salad. The shrimps were ez to peel and were so delicious. I decided to switch one scoop of rice to mac salad. They do charge two dollars for this change. I thought the mac salad was just okay. I think I would stick to rice next time. The rice was cooked really well. I would order the shrimp dish again. I posted a pic of the shrimp plate and everyone commented thinking I was eating in Hawaii cause it look so legit. They do sell a couple of different dessert but the guava cake was what I'm here for. My hubby is a huge fan of guava cake and I got him a slice from here. He loved it so much, I think I might have to come back and buy a whole sheet for him.

Obsessed with Hawaiian food even more after visiting Oahu last year. Also learned there is a huge difference in poke between the islands and mainland. Excited to find a Hawaiian food spot in an unexpected place (horse town USA), and the poke is pretty close to island style. Ordered shoyu poke, cucumber kimchi and Mac salad. The menu seemed pretty close to all the North shore shacks so definitely will come back to try more variety (garlic shrimp). The price was a little high (compared to island poke) and the shoyu poke was a little sweet, needed some onion or garlic for balance. The staff were very friendly and the place seems really clean. read more
