In LA for Anime Expo 2026, my friend and I were staying at the Hyatt House LA - University Medical…read moreCenter and after a full day of flying, we were looking for dinner, not wanting to travel too far from our hotel. My friend wanted me to try something new and since I had never had poke before, All About Poke fit the bill! We walked in around 6:45pm on a Wednesday. We were the only customers inside, but the two young women working behind the counter were bustling making Uber Eats/Door Dash orders, which was fine with me as it gave my friend and I time to look at all the options on the menu. The staff were friendly and quick, so when we were ready to order, it didn't take long before we were cashed out and eating. Inside there were several tables and chairs and since there was no one else inside, we had no problem grabbing a table. It was pretty clean inside and music played over speakers to make sure there was no dead air. For dinner, I ordered a medium poke bowl: brown rice base, three (good-sized) scoops of tofu, House Sauce, topped with avocado (small upcharge), cucumber, cilantro, and the "Whole Shebang" (fried garlic, sesame seed, fried onion, and furikake), with a small sample of wasabi on the side of the bowl and a cup of wasabi mayo for my free, extra sauce, as well as a cherry vanilla Olipop to wash it all down. I am really impressed, the poke bowl was delicious and surprisingly filling! The tofu tasted great, I was glad I added avocado which added a little creaminess to the bowl, and their House Sauce was great! Every ingredient in this bowl came together nicely! But if you need to clear your sinuses, get the wasabi - Wooo, my eyes were watering and my nose was running from that! The wasabi mayo is much milder, thank goodness, and was a nice, small addition. The medium-size was surprisingly filling and I think the price reflected that well. I did want a sweet treat to round out my meal, so I grabbed a vanilla macaron, which had vanilla ice cream in the middle, as well. The ice cream inside was creamy and the macaron had great texture with plenty of vanilla, a nicely sized treat! For my first time having a poke bowl, I think All About Poke did a great job! Friendly and quick customer service, fresh ingredients, and good-size portions, what more could I ask for? I wouldn't mind at all coming back for lunch or dinner.

Might be some of the best cucumber salad I've ever had, and love getting the shoyu, sweet heat (actually spicy), and spicy (somehow less spicy than sweet heat).

Overall (3.75/5) Pretty good poke, but I think the hype is a…read morelittle higher than the actual variety. The portion is big and the flavors are good, but the whole menu is pretty simple. First Impressions (3.5/5) When I first got in line, it was basically touching the first car in the parking lot closest to the building, and it took about 30 minutes to get through. What We Got (4/5) The ordering process is a little different from a normal poke place. They mainly focus on tuna with different flavors instead of having a bunch of different proteins. They have two sizes, regular and large, and I got the large for $21 and some change. The size mainly changes the portion, but you can still only choose two tuna flavors and two sides. I got the shoyu and spicy tuna with chili cucumber and wonton crisps. Taste and Quality (4/5) If you can get past the very soft, almost soggy texture of the tuna, it is actually pretty flavorful. The tuna wasn't fishy at all and had a little chew to it. The shoyu and spicy flavors were both good, and the wonton crisps added a nice crunch that balanced out the softer tuna. The cucumber was also good. Service (4/5) Considering how long the line was, it moved pretty quickly. It took about 30 minutes from getting in line to getting my food. Space and Atmosphere (3.5/5) Pretty casual and simple. Nothing too crazy about the atmosphere, but it works for a quick meal. Was It Worth It (3.5/5) The large is definitely a big portion, so you get a lot of food. But at $21 and some change, I feel like the variety is a little lacking for the price, especially since you are limited to two tuna flavors and two sides. Final Thoughts I would say it is worth trying if you really like tuna and want a big portion. The flavors are actually pretty good once you get past the texture, but for all the hype, I expected a little more variety and options.

The portions are decent, and the poke is on the medium quality range. There are plenty of toppings and options to choose from--I would recommend taking a look ahead of time to see the full amount of options. When we walked in we were not greeted, and I asked a bit more information on how the combos work. The worker seemed visibly annoyed to answer my questions (thus my suggestion at studying beforehand!) and listlessly fulfilled the order after I made my decision. I won't be returning, but for anyone looking for a mid-tier poke place in a plaza with many options (if you have a group), I think it's a decent option!

Both the guy and the girl were incredibly friendly, professional, patient and helped us 3 get exactly what we wanted. I went with a large (4 scoops) poke bowl and my two friends each had a medium. The key element for every single poke shop is the freshness of the ingredients, and this place was no exception. Both the protein and the veggies were as fresh as they could be, chopped/minced/cut to perfection and with a great presentation. The actual store was clean, quiet, and a perfect place to eat a calm lunch. Then we had some of their mochi (there were only two flavors left) which were pretty good. 10/10. Highly recommended place.

The space is still clean, bright, and lively, though it was completely empty when I popped in at 4 PM. Service was a little bumpy. The new girl at the counter didn't know about the happy hour special advertised right in front of her, but after I had her check with a coworker in the back, we figured out it's $1.50 off a large bowl. I'll give her grace since she's learning! I ordered a medium bowl with half salad, half brown rice, salmon, tuna, albacore, crab, and lots of toppings tossed in truffle ponzu and spicy mayo. The bowl was delicious, but they definitely skimped on the truffle sauce. Pro tip: always order an extra side of sauce like I did to save the day! All of this was almost $20. The only real letdown was the brown rice, which was noticeably hard this time. It is still a solid, healthy bowl, but I'm crossing my fingers for fresher rice next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Honu Poke & Grill -- Lomita, CA…read more 1824 Lomita Blvd, Lomita, CA Honu Poke & Grill is a small, cozy Hawaiian-style restaurant located in a shopping plaza near the intersection of Western Ave. and Lomita Blvd. PARKING & LOCATION One thing to be mindful of is that the parking lot is currently undergoing renovations. From the looks of it, they may be installing a Tesla charging station in the center of the plaza. Some areas are fenced off, so parking and navigating the lot may be a little inconvenient until construction is completed. ATMOSPHERE & SEATING The restaurant has a small, Hawaiian-inspired interior with tropical decorations. Seating is limited to four tables accommodating four people each and two additional tables seating two people each. There is a self-service water station, but no soda fountain. Also, there are no restrooms available for customers. My biggest complaint about the dining experience was the indoor temperature. I visited during this October heatwave, and even before noon, the restaurant was already uncomfortably warm. With all the fluorescent lighting turned on and the refrigerated poke display cases potentially contributing additional heat, it felt like the temperature continued rising. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was actually sweating while sitting there eating my lunch! Better air conditioning or ventilation would definitely make the dine-in experience much more enjoyable, especially during warmer days. MENU & PRICING They offer a good selection of Hawaiian-style poke, including Hawaiian Shoyu, Hawaiian Limu, California Hawaiian, Spicy Mayo, Spicy Garlic, Salmon Shoyu, Salmon Limu, Salmon Sweet Spicy, Spicy Garlic Salmon, and Salmon Spicy Mayo. Poke bowls range approximately from $14.45 to $15.95, while poke plates range from $15.45 to $16.45. For this visit, I ordered: * Combo Poke Plate -- Hawaiian Shoyu & Hawaiian Limu * Loco Moco -- $15.95 * Hawaiian Sun POG COMBO POKE PLATE -- HAWAIIAN SHOYU & HAWAIIAN LIMU Both selections tasted fresh, which is definitely something I appreciate when eating poke. The Hawaiian Shoyu had a nice flavor, and the Hawaiian Limu was equally fresh-tasting. The plate came with two scoops of white rice topped with furikake seasoning. Overall, I enjoyed both poke selections, and they were a highlight of my meal. LOCO MOCO -- $15.95 Something worth mentioning is that the Loco Moco is made to order, and I was informed there would be approximately a 20-minute wait. So if you're in a hurry, keep that in mind. The Loco Moco comes with two scoops of rice, sunny-side-up eggs, hamburger patties, and a generous amount of brown gravy. The hamburger patties were smaller, almost like mini slider-sized patties. What I appreciated was that they tasted handmade and nicely seasoned rather than like the typical frozen, pre-made patties. The patties were practically swimming in gravy! Now, the gravy itself had good flavor, but the consistency was definitely on the watery side. I'm talking almost soup-like consistency. If you scooped some up with a spoon and tilted it, the gravy would immediately run right off. Personally, I prefer my Loco Moco gravy to be a little thicker, with enough consistency to coat the hamburger patties and rice rather than just pooling around everything. That being said, the flavor was there, so it wasn't necessarily a bad gravy, just not my preferred consistency. The rice was good, and so were the sunny-side-up eggs. However, the eggs were cooked a little longer than I personally prefer. The yolks were approximately half solid and half runny. When I order sunny-side-up eggs, I like the yolks nice and runny so I can break them and mix everything together with the rice, hamburger patties, and gravy. Still enjoyable, but a slightly runnier yolk would have made it better for me. OVERALL EXPERIENCE Honu Poke & Grill offers a nice variety of Hawaiian-style poke along with other local favorites such as Loco Moco. The Hawaiian Shoyu and Hawaiian Limu poke tasted fresh, and I appreciated the homemade taste and seasoning of the Loco Moco patties. The gravy had good flavor despite being thinner than I prefer, and the eggs were just slightly overcooked for my liking. My biggest issue wasn't necessarily the food but the dining environment. Sitting inside a restaurant sweating while trying to enjoy lunch isn't exactly a comfortable experience. The lack of a customer restroom is another inconvenience worth mentioning. Would I come back? I would consider returning for the poke, but on another hot day, I'd probably opt for takeout rather than dining inside. Good food overall, with some room for improvement, especially when it comes to indoor comfort.

The veggies were ripe and yummy and the sauces made it so much better....I'm such a sauce guy, need sauce on everything. And finally, I absolutely loved the taste of their crispy onions. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside and they were just so fresh ---this spot makes them in-house and they come to your bowl pretty much out of the deep fryer that you can see towards the back of this spot.

At one point, I lightly touched the glass while pointing at what I wanted, and she abruptly scolded me with, "Don't touch the glass." There are much more respectful ways to communicate with customers, and the interaction felt unnecessarily hostile. To make matters worse, my poke bowl had noticeably less food than I've received at other 8 Oz Poke locations, and it wasn't nearly as flavorful as the Encino location. The quality and portion were both underwhelming. I was also surprised to find there's an additional fee if you want to sit and eat there. After an unpleasant interaction, a smaller and less flavorful meal, an extra dine-in fee, and then being prompted for a tip, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be returning to this location. If you have the option, I'd recommend going to the Encino location instead.

This might sound a little cheesy, but I honestly don't think I've ever felt happier this year (apart from a recent trip to Hawaii, which maybe makes sense). Just that happiness that comes with feeling so warmly welcomed and put at ease,, comforted by the most delicious food that nourishes both body and soul, and the warm glow of the sunset outside, coupled with the cozy lights overhead. I don't know, it was such a sweet memory ... made possible by the sweetest team cooking up some seriously bomb food. The loco moco was hands down the best I've had, and I've gone searching across cities in both California and Hawaii for a good one. The poke was chef's kiss. So tender, juicy, and flavorful, without any of those weird gritty bites you sometimes get elsewhere. I think the lovely gentleman we met may have been the owner, who shared that he was born and raised on Oahu and was lovingly bringing a taste of home here to SoCal. And boy, are we lucky to have it.
