Salmon with Honey Wasabi & Nuc Mam, Imitation Crab Salad, Crispy Cu Cai Salad
Amy L.

Soo this place is not a food court. I thought it was and was excited to see different places. Its actually a ghost kitchen.. there is no place to eat at. You order from a kiosk and wait for a text saying your food is ready, then pick it up form the counter. This place has alot of ubereats, doordashers, etc come here to pick the food up from the lockers theb deliver it. Ill give this plave a 3.5 because theres no description of what they put in their food. I loved the crab salad, it has alot of mayo. The cu cai salad was raddish with sesame sauce. It was refreshing. For this fish, i got nuc mam and honey wasabi because they dont have these at usual poke places. The nuc mam has peanuts in it. This one is a hit or miss. I was fine with it since it was different. The honey wasabi was really good until about the 5th piece. The taste kinda got boring and it ended up being tooo saucy. The wonton chips it comes with was amazing. I was worried there wouldnt be any because it said it was sold out. I wasnt sure what volcano was as it just said volcano but if i do come again ill probably try that one. I didnt get a picture of their menu items and i felt like someone was waiting to use it. Theres a decent amoutn of parking since most come and go since there is no dining area.

Large Poke with Nuc Mam Tuna & Volcano Salmon along with Side of Edamame and Sunomono Cucumber. DELICIOUS!

Finally a Hawaiian/Viet Poke Place in LA! I am soooo happy and so glad that it was delicious & authentic. My goal is to try all of their options. Nuc Poke, you will know my name in a month...lol

Tuna with Spicy Mayo, Cucumber Salad, and Imitation Crab Salad
Talya R.

Loved this poke! It was super fresh and flavorful! I got the tuna with the spicy mayo and the cucumber salad and imitation crab salad. Both salads were super unique and different. The cucumber salad had long thin slices and a good crunch while the imitation crab was thin shreds packed with a delicious mayo- y flavor. My friend and I did not realize it was a ghost kitchen and the outside said Goop Kitchen. I do wish this quality of poke was backed by a restaurant where you can sit inside and enjoy the food and can ask questions etc. There is some 15 min parking out front and a small lot in back. We ordered inside on a screen and it was ready quickly in 10 min! Excited to add it to my list and try other flavors! Loved it!!!

I tried this spot from Uber Eats 2 weeks ago and I've already ordered again 3 times. The salmon is so fresh. No fishy taste.

Nuc Mam and Honey Wasabi with Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Salad
Emily T.

A pretty solid poke spot! I got their nuc mam and honey wasabi sauce with tuna. I liked their honey wasabi sauce but I felt like it didn't have that true wasabi kick to it. I did like the flavor profile of it though! The nuc nam sauce was a bit more plain and I felt like they needed to add more sauce. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I would go back to try their other sauces! It's a ghost kitchen type situation so you have to order online. The wait time is kind of weird. It estimated 15 minutes for pick up and I got a text that my food was ready but I ended up having to wait an additional 20 minutes which is kinda lame. Parking is a bit challenging but theres residential streets nearby.

i got this delivered, which sorta scared me, but it arrived cool and fresh! the salmon was perfect texture and the sauce options were delicious!! every bite packed with flavor. the cucumber salad was refreshing and the crab salad was rich and creamy. this was definitely a heavy poke plate but i was extremely satisfied!

Nuc Poke or NUKE POKE?? THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB. Was near LA area and this place was perfect for delivery. Very convenient and the packaging was great. Came in a bag with both chopsticks and forks and napkins. I heard the chef is an ex-Tao restaurant chef who decided to do a modern elevated twist on poke mixing Hawaiian and Vietnamese flavors. The fish is super high quality and fresh. It is also mixed with the sauce and marinated to order! No more gummy rubbery poke. Super tender, solid, fresh fish texture with the crunch of peanuts crests a great contrast in textures. I tried the volcano sauce which was garlicky, a bit spicy and really flavorful. Paired with the Furikaka rice was an awesome combo. I also tried the honey wasabi salmon. Sweet, spicy, fragrant, and creamy. This creamy texture and crunchy peanuts made for a great mouth sensation haha. The wasabi honey was a really good pairing as well. The dish plating was also great. Super fancy and pretty. My eyes were definitely fed before my belly haha got me salivating. It is a ghost kitchen for now but I heard the chef is looking to expand to a brick and mortar! Can't wait!! Y'all gotta try this bomb poke. I will definitely order again.

Salmon and tuna
Thu P.

This place was really hard to find. I thought it was a restaurant but it's really just a place where you pick up multiple orders like for Doordash. there should be clearer signs that lists where the restaurant is. The food itself was okay too. The tuna and salmon definitely needs more sauce. I got the soy sauce and nuoc mam flavors and felt like i needed more. The rice was the perfect texture though. I wish the portions for the seaweed salad and crab salad were bigger because those were both amazing! overall, i would try other places before trying this one.

First time trying Nuc Poke and I enjoyed this poke spot! The spicy mayo salmon was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

One of the best poke spots in Los Angeles by a mile, and it tasted like I was back in Oahu. Food (5/5): I ordered a large bowl: Salmon with Lava Sauce, Tuna with Shoyu Sauce, Imitation Crab Salad, and Sunomono Salad. Both fish were very fresh. The imitation crab salad was one of the best surprises. Usually most poke places have that scoop of imitation crab like a ball of ice cream, but this one hit different with the masago on top. Service (1/5): This is a ghost kitchen. While I don't mind ordering on a tablet at all, this tablet in particular was slow. You can also only add tips in increments of 15%, 18%, and 20% without an option for a custom tip. Also, enter on the parking lot side, because if you order from the street side, you will need to pick it up from the parking lot side anyways. There aren't any clear directions indicating this Ambiance (1/5): Doesn't really matter since it's a ghost kitchen. The food itself makes up for the logistically comical ordering system. Would definitely pick-up poke from here again.

This place is soooooo good I ordered from here twice in 3 days LOL. I love that you can add nuoc mam as a sauce, and it tastes reaaaally good with tuna. I also got wasabi honey salmon, seaweed salad, crab salad, and I tried the cu cai salad. I like that they add wonton chips too. Definitely my new fav poke place in LA!

Shoyu tuna and spicy mayo salmon
Kyoung Jae S.

Great price to food quality to volume ratio! This is my go-to poke spot in Los Angeles

Mei P.

Thought this would be closer to Hawaiian poke where the fish is marinaded in sauces for hours. That could be true but the end result is nowhere close to the same. Was also excited at the prospect that this has Vietnamese influences. I love Viet food. This place tries but execution is poor. Bottom line, fish was not fresh nor at a quality that matches other poke places. The flavors were one dimensional and lacking despite bombastic descriptions on their menu. Crab salad side was the best thing of my meal. Looks great in a photo but possibly the worst poke I've had. Such a let down.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh, high-quality fish, unique fusion flavors, and generous portions.

It's located south of the Alhambra arch, and they have a small parking lot next to the building. The outside and inside of the restaurant are really cute/cozy and make you feel like you are at a local diner in Hawaii. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's not the largest space, so prepare to wait in line a little bit if you come during prime weekend brunch hours. Staff are really nice and moved two tables together for us in the corner, and they have high chairs available for kids. We ordered two macademia nut pancakes and a breakfast plate with kalua pig and Portuguese sausage. My father-in-law also got a coffee (it's Folgers) to share with my husband. It was the perfect amount of food to share amongst the three of us, so you don't have to each order an entree because the portion sizes are huge. The pancakes and fluffy and chewy, and the custard and macademia nuts on top made it not-too-sweet and creamy. The kalua pig was so tender and melt in your mouth--a little bit salty but balanced out with the rice and egg. My only qualm was the paper plates that they gave us started tearing kind of quickly the moment it absorbed any oil from the food, so I had a hole in the middle of my plate that you could see the table through for half of the meal. But the food and vibes were immaculate (all three of us loved it), so maybe I'll bring my own plates next time. We will definitely be back!

There's parking throughout the plaza, but…read moreit was packed when we arrived and we had to drive around a little before finding an open spot. This is a small food-court-style spot. You order at the counter, and if you walk farther inside, there's a shared seating area with tables for the different restaurants in the plaza. We found a spot to sit while we waited, and they gave us a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready. It took less than 10 minutes, so it was a super quick and easy meal. I ordered the Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate with a side of Chicken Katsu and it was SO good. The shrimp was incredibly crispy and packed with garlic butter flavor. The katsu and macaroni salad were great as well. It was simple, but everything about it hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed Honu Hawaiian BBQ.

Onto our food -- the chicken was lacking flavor, I'd rather go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ which has way more flavor. The salad changed from shredded cabbage to mixed greens. The beef short ribs are much thinner and no longer pre-cut. The teriyaki sauce is worse too - thick sauce, vinegar/sour flavor -- not sure if it's gone bad but definitely not the thin teriyaki flavor sauce they used to have. I cannot comment on the beef ribs as we did not order it but it seems everything went downhill and I would not recommend this place anymore. The clerk that assisted us was nice and friendly so +1 star.

The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

While I was staring at the menu deciding whether I wanted to get anything, several people came and went with their orders and everyone told me to get the fried chicken. So, I went inside and got the fried chicken with macaroni salad. A few mintues later, I added a katsu musubi to the order. This is not fast-food. The wait is real. About 12 minutes. I then had probably about 10 minutes of driving before I sat down to eat. The fried chicken is delicious and has a great crispy/crunchy skin. There is a faint sweetness that coats the chicken. The meat was not super plump like some national-chain places (I think those places brine-injected the chicken). Depending on your preference, this might feel too dry to you. Their dipping sauce for the chicken is very tasty. If they just sold that in bottles, I'd come just to buy that for use at home! Speaking of preferences, the macaroni salad is also well made, but it's simple and might be disappointing if you're expecting some kind of flavor kick. I liked it very much, because it is in the style of the basic macaroni salad -- someone described it as going home to Hawaii for them -- and I think that's what it is. Portions were enough to split into two meals. So I had half of my chicken and the mac salad. I had planned to also only eat half of the musubi. But it was delicious and had a nice crunch which I'm sure would not have held up being kept in the fridge. I really enjoyed the musubi on its own, but also enjoyed taking turns with bites with that sauce added on. I stored the rest of the chicken and mac salad in the fridge and then had them for dinner 6 hours later. Despite being in the fridge, the chicken still had a bit of a crunchy bite to it - it wasn't a mushy soggy mess. Very friendly service. This is not a sit-down place you go to for a dining experience - just a solid place to get food to go that will be delicious. Now that I've had the fried chicken that everyone seems to recommend, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.
