    Way easy to order and stop in real quick! The serving is very large, I had some for dinner and refrigerated the rest for lunch the next day. I'm surprised! I really enjoyed the bowl I built for myself. The staff is really nice. Quick and efficient. There's many tables and seats inside. But when I went no one was dining in and most took for take out.

    Sushi always seems fresh and the portions are good. Like the sauces here too. Go to Poki place in this area.

    3 scoops of protein on white rice and spring mix

    Tried this pole place in Buena Park for the first time. They offer 3,4,5 scoops of protein. They have good variety of fish and mix ins selections. They don't charge extra for the first scoop of avocado. A must-try poke place if you are in the area!

    This is my new go to poke spot in the area. Very reasonable price for the quality and amount of food

    This poke spot is located in a small shopping center that you'd probably drive by if you weren't looking for it. I stopped in for lunch. The quality of the food was fine, I enjoyed my meal, but was not blown away or left wanting to return anytime soon.

    Fish eggs, cucumber, crab meat, squid, edamame, scallion, sesame

    For a small spot, the ambience is nice and it does not feel intimidating to order. The staff were friendly and gave good suggestions. Will come back to try more things.

    My go-to poke spot for clean and quick bowl of delicious poke. Obviously not hawaiian authentic style but there are all the topping choices to choose from and it's super filling and fresh. would recommend trying this out.

    Walked in about 45 min before closing time and there were 2 young ladies there. They were nice and hard at work as the couple before us ordered quite a few different bowls. Despite this and being close to closing time, they were very patient with us as it was our first time in and still accommodated some side items like gyoza and spam musubis. Half the chairs on one side were up but the other side of the room still had bench seating and tables available. The poke bowls themselves were good. No issues and plenty of mix in's and toppings. The sizes are based on the amount of protein scoops. The musubis were not the prettiest or the freshest but they were still on point. Gyoza from a bag but crispy to perfection. Deep fried of course. The bag of chips were a tad stale but it actually worked since I was scooping my poke up with the chips. All in all if you're super picky, this may not be the spot for you. However I enjoyed my meal and i will definitely be returning.

    Super solid bowl of poke. The ula'ula spicy 2 sauce had a really nice kick and all the ingredients tasted very fresh!

    Corn, cucumbers, crisps, edamame, mixed greens, rice, octopus, shrimp, imitation crab, and sauce on the side
    Asher K.

    This place is a gem! If you're looking for a cute little poki place, this is the spot! The workers there definitely don't skimp and they were super kind, filling my bowl beyond the brim! There's a decent amount of seating considering it's a smaller establishment, but the food is definitely worth the price-- delicious and on the more affordable side! I highly recommend coming to try if you're ever in the area :))

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.
