I love Hawaiian food and have my favorite spots for legit grindz on four of the islands (5 if you count Las Vegas!), not to mention all the places sprinkled throughout the mainland. I'm not a snob but I appreciate fresh ingredients made with aloha. Unfortunately, da kine here had neither. The place is easy enough to find, just off Tustin in a plaza, right next to a Subway. The inside was dim and quiet. There was only one other couple in there, who walked in just before us. My +1 ordered the loco moco. She got overcooked patties, runny eggs and prepackaged gravy in a separate container. I ordered the combo with short rib, barbecue beef and chicken. It tasted like it was cooked in old grease and was bland despite the teriyaki sauce. My keiki (mini +1) got the teriyaki chicken with macaroni salad and didn't want to eat it. It didn't sit right with any of us. As some other reviewers mentioned, I don't think it was made fresh. I came hoping for 'ono but all I found was "oh no." The plates were full, but what's the point of choke portions if you just gonna choke on it? No thanks. Edit: I originally left two stars, but after the whole ohana (family) had upset stomachs all night, had to drop it.

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.

The ribs were genuinely good (if you like fat). But that barely matters when the staff…read moresingle-handedly destroys any reason to return. 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 vibe was clean and comfortable too, nothing overdone, just a solid environment where everything works. As someone who pays attention to details, I noticed how put-together everything felt.

That became 40 mins. Then when I ordered my spam masubi I asked if it was extra cooked like I asked. He stated yes without even checking. When I went to see for myself. It was cold barely even warm. He said would you like a new one and still had to wait another 10-15 minutes. No apologies for the inconvenience and no stress on his end as if he didn't care. Unbelievable human being as he was extremely rude and careless. FYI he bites his nails behind the counter while nippling on food never once would he wash his hand during taking or giving orders. Very below standards completely with being cleanliness or their customer service. I don't recommend this spot to anyone. There are better locations.

Order: Half salmon/ half tuna, white rice/cucumber salad, Wasabilicious (wasabi aioli)…read more This past Friday, I had my first Poke District experience and it was delicious! I've had this place bookmarked forever and I'm so happy I finally got to try it out! I placed a pick up order through DoorDash, which seems like the way to go based on the other reviews that say the wait time can be long when ordering in store. What I noticed when ordering online is the simplicity of these bowls. You don't have to choose between a ton of different toppings, which is refreshing! The salmon and tuna are super fresh and the addition of imitation crab and seaweed salad to the bowl was tasty! Loved the wasabi sauce too! The store was simple and clean. The staff was attentive and had my order ready for me when I arrived. I will definitely be back in the near future for some more delicious poke!

Sometimes the service is a little slow one there is one person working, but for the most part, it is a great place to get your poke fix fast. The shop is pretty clean, although the last time I went there, it was closer to the end of the day and the water wasn't filled and the trash was full. 10/10 would recommend for the poke!

The chicken bone in thighs are HUGEEE, a 2 pc plate is definitely a sufficient portion. The fried chicken is some of the best, juicy inside and super flaky and crispy outside. The spicy garlic sauce is perfectly sticky and has great flavor. The mac salad is creamy and includes potato. I'd rate the CPC plate 6/5 - DA BOMB! We also got a spam musubi, which was delicious, good spam to rice ratio and yummy sweet sauce. 5/5 musubi. I also tried their DHK bowl which is a huge bowl including poke, kalua pig (or lau lau), seaweed salad, and lomi salmon. I liked that it was an option to try a little bit of everything. The ahi poke was super fresh, with minimal sauce. The seaweed salad was sweet and not very fishy. The kalua pig was tender. The lomi salmon was probably my least favorite because it was pretty salty. I'd rate the DHK bowl a 3/5. Their new menu seems to be focused on CPC chicken with only a few other options. Also note there's no indoor seating, and they only have a couple of picnic tables outside.

So this has to do with their stand at the Heritage of Aloha event this weekend (Saturday) in Santa…read moreFe Springs. I had bookmarked this place but after my experience with their foodstand, I'm hesitant to try their brick and mortar store. So the HoA event started at 10 am. People started lining up for their stand around 9:45 am. They didn't open at 10...or 10:15 or 10:30. I finally asked they said 15 more minutes. 10:45 came and went. We finally heard 5 minutes until opening at 10:55 am. 11 am came and went. They finally opened at 11:10 am. When I finally place more order, they didn't have the smoked meats or port musubi. What a let down. So I had to order the Kalua Pig and Spam Musubi. When I asked how much longer it would be for the smoked meat, the "auntie" said at least 30 minutes to an hour...which means in Hawaiian...sometime later today maybe before we close. Food wise, it was okay. Nothing special. Definitely not food worthy of going to their store. And they didn't even provide utensils when I picked up my food. Note to whoever runs this at events. If you're not going to open until 11 am (an hour after the event begins) at least put a sign out. And if you're not going to have certain food items ready an hour after you open, do better and be more considerate to the customers who had been waiting over an hour and now walked away disappointed.
