    Says it's open in red neon
    Tony G.

    Staying open to posted hours. Was told they were closed but yet they helped another customer and supposed to be open another 40 minutes.

    Chili Garlic & Spicy Mayo

    Yeah honestly, I used to rave about this place but my recent experience today was a letdown. The cashier with glasses was very dismissive and made me feel unwelcomed. She seemed annoyed when I asked what was in the cali poke when I couldn't hear her the first time. It's a simple question and she just didn't seem friendly at all. Also after looking at the photos on how much poke they used to give vs what I got today was sad in comparison. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else that gives you better service and portioning that doesn't leave you disappointed.

    Came on a weekday during lunch and there were a few people in line. No one came to take our order for awhile so I was a little confused. A person came up and took like 5 orders at once and made all the bowls. I got the salmon shoyu poke bowl and it was pretty good. The fish had a nice texture but some parts were a little too salty for me. I wish they had more salmon options because I think there was only 2. They had a so many good sounding tuna options tho!! Definately a to go place they have no seating inside.

    I've been coming here for years, and I must say they are the only one that are very close to authentic Hawaiian style poke. Fresh and delicious. The Kama'aina Plate with lau lau & kalua pork with fresh Ginger Poke. The lau lau is a little salty, but the meat was tender. Kalua Pork was so moist and juicy. The Poke was as close to oyster sauce style as I could get. Mini cubes were nice and fresh. they only had a couple with that white connective tissue. Took a pic of their Musubi lineup but did not buy any. But I've noticed that the service has gone down lately. The new worker just doesn't have the warmth and welcoming attitude that the previous workers. There are a couple of stools if you want to eat in, but most are takeout orders.

    Shoyu tuna & mayo tuna

    Came last week & the value is good for the price but the shoyu tuna didn't have much flavor & didn't taste as fresh as the other flavors. The rice was also more on the dry/rough texture which is not to my tasting

    Poke Etc is the spot for fresh poke and they never disappoint. This has been my favorite place since their Cerritos location. There's no seating available at the restaurant, so we had to take everything to go, but it was still just as good. We got the Hawaiian Cali, our all-time favorite, with shoyu salmon and spicy mayo. The shoyu salmon was a little too salty for my liking but still tasty, and the spicy mayo had a really good kick to it. The serving was also very generous, which made it even more satisfying.

    Have to update because of recent experiences. Giving them 3 Stars. Always fresh Poke. This is the bowl almost same as a plate. Love that it's a quick spot for fresh Poke. Customer Service is not out of this world just ok. It's not a sit and dine place. Don't like that they close their doors before posted closing hour of 6pm. By the time I get here after work it will be 5:30-5:45pm and they are CLOSED! This has happened on too many occasions. But I still come back. Giving 3 Stars because they close before their closing time.

    Quick service and fair portions! Plenty of flavor options; I always go for the spicy mayo but Hawaiian Cali is good too! Small shop but they also sell Filipino and Hawaiian goodies.

    shoyu ahi and spicy salmon plate
    Jenna I.

    FANTASTIC FIX if you're craving poke like how they do it in Hawaii and don't want all those extra sides!! Very helpful staff! They offered samples and gave generous portions--makes it really a bang for your buck and reasonably priced. Very easy parking too, just no dine-in options. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time!

    I have been trying to call to ask if you are open on Thursday, 11/24/22?

    Sadly like many other businesses that are privately owned small food businesses, they will either have a full inbox 24/7 or completely ignore calls. it's not ideal but has become the norm unfortunately

    Is this open?

    This place is definitely open. They're only closed Sundays.

They sell poke bowls…read moreand other things--primarily with a Hawaiian flair--but they also offer about 10 different pokes by the pound, half pound, and even quarter pound. I especially appreciate them selling poke by the quarter pound. Absolutely no one else does that. We tried three different pokes (shoyu, Cali Hawaiian and Garlic Spicy) and they were all delicious. The Cali Hawaiian had krab in it, which was a little unusual but not unwelcome. Definitely ask the employees for recommendations. Free parking in the lot. I would happily return.

The polite and personable gentleman behind the counter helped me narrow down my choices and offered samples. The salmon and tuna poke were delicious. One was shoyu, and the other was limu; both had umami flavors. I was so glad that the shoyu didn't have a hint of sweetness and that the limu wasn't too salty. The savory seasoning/marinade and cool temp made the poke a very satisfying and refreshing meal. I also asked for rice and mac salad for my to-go plate, and those were solid complements to the poke. It's a chill, fast-casual place with Hawaiian tropical decor and a few dine-in tables. The plaza it's in is kinda small and janky, but at least parking is free. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to drop by for their poke.

    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.

    There aren't many places where you can just get poke, by itself, without a bowl. If you truly love…read morepoke, try it by itself sometime. 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.

La Cha x The Bowl currently has a second location in Hawthorne in addition to this flagship location in Torrance. The shop is known for its viral cracking chocolate shell boba cup. [Parking]: Easy parking within the plaza. [Atmosphere]: A very casual setup for this tea shop and customers can place their orders via one of two kiosks. One thing to note is that the tea shop plays fairly loud background music so it is hard to have a conversation unless you are sitting right next to the person you are talking to. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Strawberry Matcha W/ Milk Foam, Strawberry Taro Milk Tea, and Caramel Cheese Latte. Other featured items include Popcorn Chicken, Biscoff Shake, and Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. *** Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (100% sweetness - $6.20): The drink was slightly too sweet for me, but the overall flavor was there. Chicken Teriyaki Bowl (Charbroiled Chicken Teriyaki + comes with white rice, chopped lettuce, macaroni salad and grilled fresh pineapple - $13.90): The bowl was surprisingly better than I had expected. The bowl had a slice of grilled pineapple and decent macaroni salad. I was actually able to split the bowl into two smaller meal portions. It was certainly a lot better than the teriyaki bowl from Flame Broiler. *** A solid 3.5-star for the drink and rice bowl. I personally slightly prefer their rice bowl over their drinks and overall this is a nice neighborhood tea shop to grab a quick meal or get a-okay drinks as there aren't too many tea shop options in this part of Torrance (closer to the city of Carson).
