    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! The restaurant is small but there are a few tables inside. 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!

    Small hole in the wall place located in a semi-busy plaza. This place is more of a to-go since seating is limited. 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. The place is a little small which is okay, but gives an awkward space between another customer and I. 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. The restaurant also maintains a high level of cleanliness! 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. The ambiance also stands out, creating a cozy yet welcoming environment. 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. While the restaurant is on the smaller side, I highly recommend trying it for takeout. Definitely coming back soon!

    The Matiki Grill locations in Huntington Beach and Fullerton are fine for a quick bite, but the…read moreAnaheim spot on Lincoln Blvd is the one that truly stands out. The moment you step through the door, you're greeted by that unmistakable aroma of Hawaiian BBQ -- smoky beef, sweet marinades, and charred edges -- it feels a little like heaven. What keeps me coming back is how consistently delicious the food is. The pork kihua is tender and juicy with just the right balance of sweetness and savory depth. The kalbi ribs are marinated beautifully -- each bite has that perfect mix of caramelized edges and melt‑in‑your‑mouth richness. And the beef ribs? They're bold, flavorful, and cooked so well that you can taste the care behind every plate. There's something about the Anaheim location -- maybe it's the grill master, maybe it's the way they season their meats, maybe it's the friendly person who took my orders that always have a smile on her face, and maybe it's the flower on her hair-- but it's the only Matiki Grill that hits every note just right. When I'm craving Hawaiian BBQ that's comforting, aromatic, and genuinely satisfying, Anaheim is the one I trust.

    Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. 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.

It was delicious and portion size was great, but the service and promo were frustrating. They had a huge sign advertising FREE Ube Beignets for downloading their app. The cashier told me to download it and redeem it in-app. I tried, but the app didn't have clear instructions on how to redeem. When I went back to ask for help, the original cashier brushed me off saying she was on break, and a male server told me they didn't even have any Ube Beignets available??? Umm, wait it's less than an hour past opening time. Being "out" of a front-and-center promo item 30 minutes after opening feels like a bait-and-switch. Take the sign down if you can't honor it. Food is good, but the experience left a bad taste.

I'd recommend taking the food to-go if you want to deal with the rude staff or ordering online to avoid them all together. The woman who takes your order is the rudest by huffing and puffing while taking your order, rolling her eyes, and not explaining the menu when asked.

What I love most about Poke District is the quality of everything. From the poke to the rice, everything is consistently fresh without being overly expensive. I always get the build-your-own bowl with salmon, white rice and the Hot Lava flavor. One thing I really like is that they mix the flavor directly into the poke rather than simply drizzling the sauce on top, which is a major plus for me. They're also super accommodating with modifications. I don't really like seaweed salad, so I always ask for it to be replaced with an extra scoop of crab meat instead! I've also seen some reviews complaining about the kiosk and people not liking it. The kiosk is simply an additional option, so if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. I honestly didn't even notice it at first and just ordered my meal with one of the staff members as usual. Poke District is always super quick, never taking more than five minutes to prepare my bowl. They also make sure your bowl is prepared exactly how you want it before packing it up, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend Poke District to anyone looking for a higher-quality poke spot in the area!
