"Been going here since my high school days in 2015! Now that I live out of state, I look forward to visiting this place whenever I get the chance. My boyfriend says this is the best poke place he's had in his life! The food quality has always been consistent and the fish is always so fresh. I also appreciate that the sauces are on the less salty side so that it doesn't overpower the freshness and quality of the fish. Shout out to the guy working who recognized us from the first time we came here after the airport! :-) service is amazing! He gave amazing recs."
"Aloha hidden gem!! This is my new favorite Hawaiian food restaurant. Lots of flavor and big portions. The chicken katsu is crunchy, yet juicy. (Would probably ask for a side of sauce, I like adding a little to my rice, but that's just me) The bbq teriyaki so GOOD! My favorite is the macaroni salad. I could eat that all the time. First time trying spam and egg musubi was alright, seemed like it needed something. But for me the seaweed was too fishy. Maybe it's not my thing."

"I came here a few days ago with some friends. They opted to try this place as they don't have this where they're from. We went around 10, and there was no line. I've been here on the weekends and it's pretty packed. There was a line out the door. We ordered pretty fast. And the food came out about 15 minutes later. I got the eggs Benedict which was pretty good. My friend's got the breakfast tots which were crunchy and delicious. My other friend got the spicy chicken waffles. The chicken wasn't that spicy. All in all it was very delicious!"
"Lunchtime. Monday special ..... Teriyaki Chicken with Veggies & Glass Noodles (sai-foon) over Rice with a Drink. All for $6.99 (save at least $5). There is enough food to get full. Leftovers? Just a small portion. Small enough to finish eating, or take it home & get 3-4 spoonfuls of rice & whatever you brought home from above mentioned items. They have an open drink dispenser, so you can drink as much as you want then refill it to take it with you.THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!! A MUST HAVE if you're hungry for simple Hawaiian style food with a drink to wash it down.Aloha, Mahalo, Happy Eating & Fight On!!"
"I was driving home from LAX with a friend and craving Hawaiian food so we looked up on the Yelp app and found 808 with some good reviews. This is one of those times when unfortunately the food did not live up to the reviews. The galbi was literally burnt and shriveled (see pics). There was barely any meat and what was on there was so overcooked. It tasted like beef jerky. I can't believe they would serve it like this. Giving them two stars because the loco moci my friend ordered was at least edible even though we both agreed that meat was also overcooked.. Disappointed, and if I hadn't been so jetlagged, I would have complained and demanded my money back, but at that point, I just wanted to be done and leave as I was exhausted. Maybe some of the items are better on the menu, but I would stay away from the galbi."
"Lovely experience chatting with the owner and sharing experiences with her. She's kind and the food is awesome. Fresh, well prepared, and the portion is generous. Would gladly come back for my local poke fix."
"This place saved my sanity when the kids didn't like what we actually had for lunch. The kids quieted down and scarfed down the chicken katsu. The meat was white, thick, and tender. The batter was lightly covered with crispy panko. There was plenty of rice for the two little kids to share. The mac salad was not as creamy as I am used to because it had canned tuna in it, but it was nice to have something a little different from other places.The seating area was spacious, and there was a self-service soda fountain with fresh tasting water. This restaurant was the perfect find for my tired kids."
"I visited this business yesterday for lunch. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the ordering; the space itself is small, so you mostly eat on the shared patio - it was too hot for me yesterday so i brought food back to my office. I had the combo plate with Beef bulgogi and chicken katsu, with white rice, cabbage salad, kimchi and macaroni salad. The bulgogi was a little chewy and the mac salad was a little boring, but everything else was great. (Add some soy sauce to the mac to improve it!) It was really expensive - over $20. I may come back - the food was really good, just a little pricy."
"The customer service is great they aren't greedy on their portions. Prices are descent and parking is part of a shopping center no problem there. Just heads up it does get pretty busy during lunch time."
"Once I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the young man at the register. There was a slight wait so I sat down at one of the tables.Everything was tidy and clean....The decor didn't speak to anything specific. I did appreciate, however, that my food was cooked to order so when I received it, it was hot.Onto the food .... Now I'm a huge fan of Beef Bulgogi and this one did not disappoint!!! The macaroni salad was not my favorite and the potato salad was completely bland and lacked texture. With all that being said, I would still go back just for the beef Bulgogi because it was just that good. The beef was seasoned and tender. I have nothing to complain about regarding the beef."
"Now THIS is a poke bowl! So good. Fresh-tasting and great portions. Nice little hidden gem across the street from St. Joseph hospital"
"I hope this place never goes away! I've been back countless of times, and they have the best comfort food when I'm craving something fulfilling and satisfying. My usual order is their bbq beef plate. It comes with their amaaaaazing mac salad & rice. I always get extra teriyaki sauce & mac salad on the side because it's just simply delicious to me. Yum! Their large bbq beef plate can last me two meals depending on how hungry I am. I definitely recommend this place! They have many items and special/refreshing drinks on the menu to choose from. The chicken katsu with the curry sauce is also amazing.There's no indoor seating and parking is small, but you can get in and out in a timely manner."

Holy sh** you guys. Writing this after literally only taking two bites. I'm blown away, the flavor is like sooo clean and fresh and vibrant and I think this just became my new Sunday spot. After the poke boom 10 years ago, it has been freakin hard to find a good bowl that wasn't stinky or frozen. I'm literally in awe. Don't ever change poke district. It did hurt at first paying $18 for a half/half bowl when I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I added avocado and got the lava sauce (top tier, just enough kick)But honestly, I'm obsessed and it's SO WORTH IT. Even the cucumbers were freakin delicious, I wish I got more! Currently contemplating taking home a fish only bowl to make the experience last longer. Freakin great job guys

Yesterday was our 2nd visit to 808 Local Hawaiian Grill. Daughter had enjoyed her Puaa combo plate last time and was back for more pork. Her sister wanted her to bring back a Loco Moco Lunch Plate for her. Daughter hadn't had breakfast yet because she had left the house early to take a relative to her appointment. She also wanted to order the Big Kahuna and 2 teriyaki Musubi. We arrived before the business was open. A little after 11:00 a.m. the owner came out to set up the 2 tables and 4 chairs for customers. He welcomed us in. Daughter was tempted by the fresh poke in the refrigerated case, but just went with what she originally wanted to order. Another couple did order poke after us. Owner brought out our order to us and thanked us for our patience. He also took care of the missing drink from niece's order that staff had forgotten to deliver with her 2 teriyaki Musubi. We didn't find any brown gravy in the Loco Moco lunch plate, but the plate was still tasty. The teriyaki Musubi was enjoyed for snack.

A taste of Hawaii in Cerritos, California!! Aloha!!!! Doesn't quite feel like you are in Hawaii when you step through their doors. They sure are a popular place for breakfast. We were a group of 5, and there were no tables available for us when we arrived. So while three of us went in line to place our orders at the counter, the other two waited for a table to be available. Fortunately within 10 minutes a table opened up for us. The Captain Mac Nut French Toast that I ordered was very good! Probably the best French Toast that I have ever had the pleasure to eat in my entire existence!! Got to try a bit of other food that the family ordered. The Buttermilk pancakes were decent. The Chicken Katsu Loco Moco was pretty good. The Ube Coconut Pancakes were alright. That French Toast that I ordered is worth coming back for again and again and again!!! Til next time! Aloha!!!!

I would eat here again and again Food was delicious despite the semi-run down feel of the place. Chicken Katsu was just as good as my wifes!!!If the place was a little cleaner, it would get a 5.0 for sure

I got their Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate and it tasted like teriyaki chicken but more smoky. The salad was great, very subtle. The Rice, Mac, and Salad complimented the main dish and overall was delightful. The portion amount is solid with their prices; their prices aren't overpriced with low portions. The owner is very laid back and friendly. Great place to get a spam musubi, chicken katsu, or other Hawaiian foods!

So glad they were open on New Years Day! I always order the Hawaiian BBQ Mix plate here. Comes chicken, beef, and a little bit of short rib, rice and mac salad. You get a lot too! It feels like it weighs a few pounds. They even have to use a rubber band to close the lid on the container cuz it's so stuffed with food that it won't close otherwise. And don't forget to get a can of the Hawaiian drinks. Everything is so good!

Bulgogi was cooked to perfection, not too moist or too dry. Mac salad and spicy cucumber salad were also good with decent portion size. The seasoned tofu side was only 3 small pieces and wasn't worth it.

"My go-to place for Poki. I like the spicy tuna.Unfortunately the parking lot is hard to maneuver and they have signs say to park head in only. Driving a truck, parking head in is a pain and the lot is tight."
"I got some Aloha Hawaiian BBQ yesterday and it was BUSSINNNNNN!!!!! I love this place it's so good!! The service was a little slow today, despite that the food was really good! 5 STARS:)"
"FOOD [5/5]Honestly everything I've tried here is really good and flavorful. Their garlic shrimp is always very crispy and full of flavor. It's recommended to eat the shrimp with the skin on. If you like beef, the beef rib plate was delicious! The beef falls off the bone and was super tender. Each plate come with a salad, rice and mac salad which was plenty of food!EXPERIENCE [5/5]They are a small shop, with limited seating. I usually do Togo for my family and eat it at home! You can order online through their website. SERVICE [5/5]Quick service!Overall, one of my favorite fusion Hawaiian/korean places in the area. I've taken my family and friends here several times for dinner and they love it!"
"This place lives up to its name. I ordered the Poki Bomb Roll through DoorDash and I was blown away at the quality, freshness, and flavor. It even came with a mango salad, it was so crisp & delicious. At first their prices almost scared me off, but after trying it- well worth every penny. I'm so glad we tried this place. 10/10 incredible. Can't wait to try more menu items."
"The chicken is amazing and the Shrimp in garlic sauce.. OMGosh DELICIOUS, it's my favorite!! Service is awesome everyone is so kind and helpful!! The ambiance is calm, depending on hour of the day buts it's smells are delightful"
"This is my favorite Poke spot right by my house! They serve up generous portions of fresh seafood and delicious toppings. I recommend ordering ahead for a quick and easy pick-up. They always seem to be busy, and it's easy to understand why! Plus, their boba drinks are super yummy too!"
"I'm genuinely unsure how this place gets anything but 5 stars. I first came to the loft a few weeks ago, and I have to say I have picked up food here multiple times since the first time I tried it. Everything about the loft is straight to the point. It's nothing fancy, the ambience is nothing out of the ordinary. But the food is absolutely incredible. I've strangely only gotten take out, but every single time I'm so happy with the food. The chicken katsu is crispy and delicious. The Kalua pork is my personal favorite, and I order it with my meal every time. The cabbage is also my favorite from any Hawaiian place! They actually put pieces of uncooked ramen in the cabbage, which sounds strange but gives it the perfect crunch. The Mac salad also tastes very fresh, and tastes lighter than other Hawaiian restaurants I've visited. Pro tip we also always call in the food. They usually have our order in 10-15 minutes and it's also extremely quick. Love this place so much"
"Sheesh. I've walked by this place dozens of times, so I figured I'd try it today for a breakfast burrito. I should have come here years ago! The burrito was one of the best I've had and the salsa was thick and tasty. I'll definitely be back to try some other menu items."
"The service was quick and real. The lady was so friendly and kind offered some recommendations. I only had appetite for something small and wow was i blown away by the katsu masubi. It was so crunchy and the flavor was delicious. One of the best masubmasubi I've had it will put ono to shame because I order the spam one and loved it even more. I can't wait to go back and try other items from their menu."
"I really enjoy the Tangaroa Terrace tonkotsu ramen. The bowl is flavorful, filling, and comes out pretty fast. The pork belly slices, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, nori, soy flavored soft-boiled egg, and noodles taste fresh and delicious. I also appreciated the salmon bowl for the kids (my little one loves fish!). It was a healthy bowl of plain rice, broccoli, salmon, and a slice of pineapple, which my toddler happily ate!"
"I was stuck next door at Milan Hair Salon... with heavy aluminum foils in my hair ... starving. I called Poki Poki and spoke with Sunny who took my order via text and had the food delivered to the salon within 10minutes. I gave them a $5 tip for the quick service. I got 3 onigiris... spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and crab! They were all delicious! I would come back to order them again even if I'm not in the area for my hair care. Thanks so much Sunny!"
"I usually like Ono more than L&L, so I convinced my SO to get Ono instead. Ordered through Yelp via Grubhub in my car. I waited 10 minutes and went inside to check on my order since the restaurant didn't seem that busy. My order wasn't ready so I waited by getting the sauces first. They were out of teriyaki sauce so I waited some more. Once home, I realized the portions are significantly smaller than the usual location I go to. I would order a mini katsu meal at my usual spot and I would still have leftovers!! This is a full order of chicken katsu and I finished it. Barely any macaroni salad and a few cabbages on the bottom! Definitely ripped off. I'll just stick to my usual location near work from now on."
"They messed up our order, they were supposed to give us Hawaiian BBQ Mix, meaning a piece of Chicken katsu / chicken teriyaki/ short ribs, they gave us the short ribs combo, overall the customer service was good, the food was delicious. Pricing : Hawaiian bbq mix $16.49 Kalbi short ribs $16.99"
"Great food I love their macaroni Salad and beef burrito. Always my go too & they are pretty quick about it if you call prior for pick up."
"16.50 3 scoop poki bowl. Most toppings are included like Krab, only avocado is extra.We've been here a couple times and have been happy with the service and freshness. The 3 scoop bowl seems bigger to me than other places. I usually get half white rice/half salad for the base. The scoops of fish seemed pretty good. I like that the Krab and seaweed salad are included in the price. Only avocado is extra. Also they have eel sauce which I like to have drizzled on the top at the end."
"Who knew this place existed in La Habra of all cities?! Hi BBQ is delicious, flavorful and reasonably priced. They give you huge portions and we all had leftovers to take home. The chef is also a very sweet lady. I will definitely be back again to try the other items on the menu."
"Located inside a Tustin Food Hall. Indoor/Outdoor seating. There are also ping pong tables outside and a bar inside so definitely a cool and fun place to hang out with friends.Tried the Garlic Chicken Plate and Poke Bowl (Spicy Tuna) lunch special. I appreciated that they let me substitute the rice and mac salad for all vegetables. Food was pretty good. My only issue was that there was too much sauce on the garlic chicken.Free 90 minute parking but I believe restaurants will validate if you stay over."
"Fresh poke bowls and quick, friendly service. Small area to sit inside as well. Large bowl was around $20 but has 4 selections of protein and free toppings including imitation crab. Good portion to share for 2 people! You start with selecting your base which you could select 1/2 and 1/2 or full of brown rice, white rice, or salad. For protein, I love their fresh salmon, shoyu salmon, and spicy tuna mixed with wasabi Mayo. Toppings included cucumber, corn, pineapple, seaweed, green onions, masago, and ginger. They also had dry toppings like crispy onion flakes. Overall a solid quick poke place with a great variety of toppings and fresh fish."
"Will definitely be ordering here again just because of how generous they are with the portions! The BBQ Plate I ordered was so heavy I almost dropped it. The BBQ Chicken was tender and flavorful, the Kalbi was well marinated and had a good meat:fat ratio, the BBQ beef was alright compared to the other two proteins. The Mac Salad was also pretty good, I'd rate it 8/10. I also got the Crab Langoons which I feel didn't have enough filling but we're still delicious :)."
"Ono Hawaiian BBQ is very generous, I live far from this restaurant but for a "buy one get one free" count me in! This is the 2nd time I went here so this was what I ordered. Beef n chicken combo, delicious beef kalbi, a little fatty but so delicious, the grilled taste came through. The free one is the lesser valued chicken combo. By the way the price listed on Yelp was incorrect, listed $2 higher. Brandon inflation caused many restaurants to go bankrupt, people just can't afford to eat out so come here for $18 you get so much food to last 2 days ! So why is this not 5 stars? The sauces were so sweet I thought I poured syrup on my plate, I had to squeeze lemon then it was still not good enough I poured sone pink Chinese vinegar it finally worked. If the manager reads this here is my recommendation, your sauce is not really bbq it's a sweet teriyaki, please give us 1 real BBQ sauce, the teriyaki sauce should be less sweet then I'll be here more often. Most Americans have sweet tooth n unfortunately too many have diabetes so if you can make it less sweet your restaurant will attract more customers."
"Da best katsu in the town. Honestly, this place has the top quality katsu!! I'm so addicted. Once you try katsu here, you'll never be able to quit. I wish I live in Buena Park"
"Amazing service really enjoyed the cashier super friendly..if your a gamer they have twitch stream on deck.. the ambiance is super cool..Food is amazing prepared right before your eyes check them out"
"Best Hawaiian BBQ around!! We order often! Always packed perfectly, and so fresh! Love their sauces and how much food they give you. Best chicken Katsu around! It's so nice and crispy!! We love it here. The Mac salad is amazing too"
