    Poke Bowl
    Ryan S.

    This is a great place for poke! I have been here many times, and finally took a picture of my food before just devouring it. The fish quality here is really fresh, and they have so many options. My typical order is yellowtail, albacore, and salmon and they all taste great. I also really love their variety of sauces and toppings. They give a generous about of food and the pricing is fair! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small but there are a few tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a cooler that is always stocked with drinks. This is one of my favorite poke places in Orange County!

    Very generous with their portions which is AWESOME! Quick and friendly service. High quality fish and variety of toppings!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small hole in the wall place located in a semi-busy plaza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is more of a to-go since seating is limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their prices are great! I ended up getting a large but the large bowl looked more of a medium to me - fish scoops were small (even though it's 5 scoops of fish). Fish was fresh and cold. Brown rice was good. I like supporting small businesses! Come here if you can for poke!

    Decided to come here for a poke bowl after seeing such great reviews. The pricing here is amazing. 5 proteins for $15 is a steal! the portions were good as well. I am only bummed that there is not a lot of sauce and topping options. I would have loved ponzu sauce and some edamame. The food itself was great. Rice and fish were obviously fresh. Service was fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a little small which is okay, but gives an awkward space between another customer and I.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would def come back!

    SUPER LOWKEY SPOT! You need to try this place! This place had tamago, yellowtail, and scallops for protein options, unlike most poke places. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant also maintains a high level of cleanliness![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Though the staff person's first language isn't English, they were incredibly kind and patient, making sure to understand exactly what I needed. The quality of both the food and service was outstanding--10/10 for both. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance also stands out, creating a cozy yet welcoming environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've tried several poke places, and this one is easily in my top 3. Very fresh fish, and solid pricing at $15 for a large bowl with 5 scoops of fish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the restaurant is on the smaller side, I highly recommend trying it for takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely coming back soon!

Decent amount of indoor seating here and water if you wanna stay and eat.

I probably would've been ok with just the bowl instead of the plate but I also liked the mac salad.

The star of the meal was the Furikake Chicken. It tasted SO GOOD. Chicken was a little dry, but the flavor makes up for it. Pork belly was good and pretty tender. Mac salad was not bad, with a strong bonito flavor, and the coleslaw was a bit bitter. Loco Moco was decent. Limeade was definitely sour, but my husband enjoyed it. We ended our meal with one mango and one coconut cream malasada. Donut was hot and fluffy, and the cream was pretty good... just VERY sweet! If I'm ever in the area, I would come back for the Garlic Furikake Chicken bowl, and to try their spam musubi!

Nothing crazy, just genuine good energy where you can tell they enjoy what they do and are happy to talk to you. I ordered a Ka Moa combo plate with teriyaki chicken and chicken katsu as well as spam musubi. The food was, in a word, delicious! The chicken katsu was solid, not as crispy as I would like but I did take it to go so that factors into that. The teriyaki chicken was outstanding, perfect flavor, a slight sweet char taste where it was flame kissed, I would order this again and again! Their Mac salad is different from what you get from an Aloha or Ono, not as sweet and didn't have the tang but even with that I enjoyed it and would eat it again. The only thing I would skip next time is the musubi. While it was okay in flavor the ratio of rice to spam was so far skewed it didn't seem worth it. As a whole this spot is incredibly solid and more than worthy of a 5/5! I look forward to coming back and highly recommend you check it out

They use a fatter noodle in the mac salad which I really like! Their poke is also quite fresh. I've been coming here for years and service is always quick and friendly.

The chicken itself was super crispy and fresh. Personally, I think the chicken sandwiches could've used just a little bit more seasoning, but overall everything was still really good. What truly made the experience stand out was Danny at the register. He was absolutely amazing and had incredible customer service. Once he found out it was our first time there and that they were close to closing, he went above and beyond and accommodated us with not one, but TWO chicken sandwiches on the house for us to try. That level of kindness and hospitality honestly made our night. We ended up getting an amazing combo with shrimp, chicken, macaroni salad, two Spam musubi, two chicken sandwiches, and two drinks -- all for only $22!!! Such a great value for the amount and quality of food we received. Danny's energy alone made us want to come back. Great customer service goes a long way, and this place definitely left a positive impression on us!

But overall, really good! Chicken katsu plate: (4/5) The chicken was pretty good, but the seasoning on the Mac salad wasn't good so we didn't end up eating it.

We both usually order the same thing every time she gets the salmon plate and I get the tuna and we've always enjoyed it enough to keep coming back. Today we noticed there was an option to add extra fish for $2.50, so we both paid for it. We also selected extra green onions, which is one of the free toppings they offer. When we got our food, it was immediately obvious that nothing was different. There wasn't any extra fish compared to what we normally receive, meaning we paid an extra $5 total for something we never got. On top of that, there were no green onions at all, despite specifically requesting extra. Mistakes happen, but it's frustrating to pay extra for add-ons that aren't included, especially when you're a returning customer. We weren't looking for anything unreasonable just the order we paid for. Hopefully they pay more attention to customizations in the future because this experience definitely left us disappointed and questioning if we want to continue coming back..

    One of the Best Hawaiian BBQ Spots I've Tried!…read more A friend finally brought me to his favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot (I guess he decided to stop gatekeeping ), and I'm so glad he did! I ordered the 2-Piece Boneless Chicken Plate with the spicy garlic sauce, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The seasoning paired perfectly with the spicy garlic sauce, making every bite delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the creamy mac salad had a nice peppery kick that complemented the meal really well. My only minor complaint was that the chicken was just a tad salty, but it wasn't enough to take away from the overall experience. The two women working the register were friendly, welcoming, and professional, greeting everyone with big smiles. The dining area inside was spotless, there was plenty of indoor seating, and parking was easy with lots of available spaces it was very clean!
