    The dynamite shrimp was just too good. The flavor was bright and it went well with all the sides. I like that instead of spending my credits in ClassPass I just can come here. Be warned that finding parking here is really difficult around 5:00pm. I had to go around the parking couple of times.

    Dinner served.

    Esteban did a great job. This was my first time here. Everything looks fresh. I will be coming back soon.

    Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins)

    First time at Pokeworks and it did not disappoint. Loved the store ambiance, it was bright and inviting. The service was great, everyone was friendly and fast! Now the food, it was probably one of the best Poke i had in the area. My proteins were fresh and the sauces were delicious (I got ponzu fresh and umami shoyu). I also got one of their signature drink - the mango coconut fresca, which surpisingly complemented my bowl very well!

    Garlic Spam Musubi

    Poke was great, I loved the orange nd spicy combo. I wouldn't recommend the Garlic Spam Musubi...too much rice compared to the spam. The workers were very nice.

    Decided to check out the newish pokeworks that opened up near me. It is located right next to the also newish paris baguette. Location is easy to find and easy to get to. The parking lot is pretty busy, likely due to the gym, as well as other restaurants located in the same shopping center. The service was good, nothing out of this world but nice enough. I ordered 2 bowls. There are a good amount of different proteins, including chicken and tofu, as well as good amount of toppings that are included in the price. Scoops and toppings were well portioned, each bowl was about $15 which I felt was fair. Overall a good experience and will come back here again.

    I genuinely dislike this location. It's almost always completely empty. The staff is usually kind and helpful, but the place feels dull and neglected. The drink machine is often broken, there are sometimes flies, and overall it feels like a cheap Yoshinoya knockoff. Portions are inconsistent too--it really depends on how generous the worker feels that day, which shouldn't be a thing. What's more confusing is that this place seems like it should be doing well, but it just isn't. It feels like someone thought they could buy success, slap a concept together, and let it run on autopilot. There's something honorable about food coming from people with real roots--Hawaii, Japan, the fish industry--people who actually care and are present. That's missing here. I never see an owner, never see leadership, never see anyone really trying. Things aren't fixed, there's no energy, no vision. It feels lazy and uninspired. If I owned this place, I'd be there every day--welcoming people, fixing what's broken, dialing in the menu, actually representing island food with pride instead of serving cookie-cutter bowls. Right now it feels like someone is just collecting money from a distance, and it's honestly embarrassing. This isn't about the staff--it never is. When a place feels this lifeless, it's always ownership and management. Until that changes, this spot just feels like a placeholder, waiting for something better to move in.

From the moment we walked in, she stood out for all the right reasons. Her customer service skills are genuinely top-tier--she greeted us with a warm, sincere smile that instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. Casie has such a pleasant and approachable demeanor. She took the time to really engage with us, making sure we felt taken care of without ever seeming rushed or distracted. What impressed us most is how attentive she is--she listened carefully and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we might enjoy. If you're unsure what to order, she's the perfect person to guide you. Her suggestions were spot-on and made the whole dining experience even better. Beyond her professionalism, Casie has a wonderful personality that shines through in every interaction. She brings such positive energy to the environment--it's clear she enjoys what she does, and it reflects in how she treats people. On top of that, her beautiful complexion and confident presence add to her overall charm, making her truly memorable. It's rare to come across someone who combines efficiency, friendliness, and genuine care so effortlessly. Casie goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves satisfied, and that level of service deserves recognition. Because of her, we'll definitely be returning to Matiki BBQ and recommending it to others.

One woman in particular (presumably a manager or long-time employee) was shockingly, aggressively rude in a way that's hard to overstate. She barked orders and accusations at customers with zero patience, yelling over trivial things that no reasonable person could possibly know or control. Her tone was dripping with contempt, her attitude unapologetically hostile, and her behavior screamed ignorance wrapped in unearned entitlement. Zero warmth, zero professionalism--just pure, unfiltered disdain for the very people paying her bills. No one should have to endure being treated like an inconvenience or an idiot just to eat decent barbecue. The food might be worth a try if you're willing to stomach verbal abuse, but for most of us, it's not. Her complete lack of basic decency and customer service skills makes this place actively unpleasant. I won't be back, and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone who values being treated like a human being. One star only because the ribs themselves don't deserve zero--but she absolutely does.

The oxtail is shredded directly into the rice, so you get that deep, savory beef flavor in every spoonful without having to navigate around bones. Topped with a sunny-side-up egg and fragrant Thai basil, it's a rich, cohesive dish that hits all the right notes. ​Soft Shell Crab Curry: The execution on the crab is flawless--perfectly crispy and light. The accompanying yellow curry is aromatic and creamy, providing a great balance to the saltier crunch of the crab. ​Shaken Beef Rice Bowl: The beef is clearly a premium cut, seared to a perfect tender finish. It's served with a fresh salad and a bright green chili-lime sauce that provides a necessary zesty kick to the savory steak. ​O'meli Kitchen manages to feel sophisticated while remaining approachable. The service is professional, and the kitchen's attention to detail--like shredding the oxtail for ease of eating--shows they really care about the guest experience. It's a must-visit in Fullerton.
