"Although Gosan is priced higher than other poke spots, the fish and marinades have greater quality. The menu consists of sashimi, rolls, and poke bowls. There are preselected combinations but I always enjoyed making my own. The staff have always been kind and the scoops are generous. =POKE=There were standard bases of white rice, brown rice and salad. Besides the plain versions, the fish came with either a mayo, sweet or spicy marinade. The hot spicy albacore and tuna had a red chili forward profile that brought in the heat. Hawaiian tuna was a mixture of salty and sweet. The creamy wasabi tuna was mayo forward and surprisingly sweet, not my favorite as the wasabi fails to stand out. The scallops are my personal favorite as these plump mollusks soak up the sweet creamy sauce well. I was happy to see a decent selection of vegetables and fruits. Seaweed salad and imitation crab weren't priced extra. Avocado cost more to add on. Although there are sauces available, I wouldn't recommend adding on more given the high liquid content and flavorful marinades already. The sauces primarily had a soy or sriracha base. Very fast service and a perfect spot for lunch or dinner. Seafood has always been fresh and I love the ingenuity of the marinades."
"Want to satisfy your Hawaiian eats? Come check out Big Island Hawaiian! I got the BBQ chicken which came with steamed broccoli/cabbage and macaroni salad. All items were filling and delicious. The bbq chicken was so tender and juicy, was dry. I enjoyed my meal and will be coming back. Tables were clean. Staff was great!"

"This place is a solid 3.5 stars. I went two days in a row (1/15-16/2022) because I was dying for poke. A large poke bowl with 3 scoops of protein is about $15.50 including tax. As someone with celiac, I was super happy that they have gluten free tamari available. Why not 4 stars? My husband ordered beef gyudon meal and it had barely any meat on it, and we noticed that they forgot his sides of green salad & mac salad, but we noticed after we already left, so it was too late to go back and get them."
"Made my own salmon bowl with the works. This is my second time and the service is always friendly. Ingredients are fresh and delicious. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Great spot, recommend."
"Their kids meal is a great size for adult lunch and their fish quality is fantastic but the real winner here is the staff. A lovely young man did my order today at around 2:30pm and he was the kindest worker ever. Genuinely happy and smiley and really put me in a good mood. I work in the same complex and he gave me a free drink! Overall 10/10 experience."
"My concerns and sympathy goes out to all of those affected by the fires. I had a weekend with Maui on my mind. I volunteered with a group to raise money for the Maui Fire & Disaster Fund with Maui United Way on Saturday. When I saw this place the next day, I took it as a sign. There is no such thing as a coincidence.Maui Hawaiian Grill served up some decent eats. The guy at the register was really nice and I enjoyed my Kalua Pork with Cabbage. I got my usual of all macaroni salad and no rice because I like to give my doctor something to worry about. ;D The kalua pork was a tad on the drier side but the mac salad was good. Just add some black pepper and keu a ka 'ono!I spent $16-something for my plate (including a $3 drink). Money well spent. As both the Phoenix and Honolulu Online Community Ambassador, I am sending my love to the islands forever and always."
"Love this place. I have driven by many times. This time I stopped to check it out. Hawaiian/Asian fusion. Sign me up. Prices are good, portions were nice. The Jalapeño Roll is my favorite! The short beef ribs were delicious. Also Cream cheese ragoons bomb! It does get busy at certain times but the owners are so nice. They are working hard. Thank you for all you do. Glad to have found you. I have only ordered- my food to go, as it is a tad bit small inside. Casual setting. Food is fabulous!"
"Now I somewhat have an idea about the afternoon action of Downtown Phoenix. Well, it took me long enough to figured that out.There are more lunch options in the downtown area. With some good options in the area, I ran across this small Hawaiian dining spot for my final meal in "the Valley of the Sun".You can either order at the counter or if you are in a hurry, order ahead through the Door Dash app. I was looking at the menu above the kitchen. The café has your usual Hawaiian dishes, like the chicken katsu in which I was craving and ordered for lunch for $10.50. The meal also comes with rice, macaroni, and greens. What this place also have is brown rice for $1.50 extra. Not many places offer brown rice, but I just became a fan of the brown grain.There are some tables for dining in. But I took my meal back to my hotel. The chicken katsu meat was thick and cooked nicely. The brown rice was a difference maker with my meal. This was a solid meal."
"Fresh and generous portions. Great staff. Nice ambiance but we usually do take home. Best Ahipoki."
"My little girls and I stopped by to try Koibito Poke today. Anthony greeted us and helped me pick out my poke bowl ingredients. We bought one medium bowl and one mochi. Everything was delicious. My girls wolfed down the poke bowl. My 6 year old daughter is a crab salad critic and she rates this place haha Anthony was very attentive, friendly and provided excellent customer service. He's an asset to this venue! We'll be back! Highly recommend!"

We went there for sushi. We ordered the shrimp tempura roll and the crunchy onion California rolls which we had them make spicy with the spicy mayo. The owner and chef gave us some the spicy salmon sushi ball to try. It was his creation and it was absolutely spectacular. As a matter of fact they brought us a few things to try. He gave us each a single tuna roll to try. It was one of the best rolls I have ever had. The tuna melted in your mouth. Bottom line I would have no problem bringing a first time poke or sushi experiencer here. You could tell it was absolutely fresh. The owner gave us some fruit cheesecake to try also. It was a perfect hint of lemon and was such a delicious cap to the meal. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants poke or sushi or someone who has never had it but wants a good place to try it for the first time. The quality was wonderful the chef was absolutely knowledgeable and kind. I would give it 5 more stars if I could. The restaurant itself was perfect. Not too large and not too small. Very clean and the perfect place for lunch or dinner. The offerings were reasonably priced especially considering the quality and freshness. Next time I will be having the tuna poke! Give this place a chance. It's a gem.

Being born and raised on the Big Island, my standards were really high. This place was a typical non-Hawaiian ran eatery that tried their best. The marinated meat lacked taste. The cashier was friendly and the food came out quick. If you never had authentic BBQ plate lunches from Bug Idland, then you probably will be satisfied.

Love this spot - the pickled radish is my fave. They up charge everything which can get annoying. I'd still recommend.

We ordered our entrées online and picked up at the time they were promised. The service was friendly and quick and the food was pretty good and fresh. I would order from them again very soon.

I've been here a few times now and I really enjoy their food. I always get the hawaiian tuna which has great flavor and typically try to mix it up for my second scoop of protein. I will say, I wish they have the sauces for you to grab as you want since I feel like I have to commit to one and see if I like it. There wasn't anyone else when I arrived so I was able to get my food quickly and sit where I wanted.

Spending some time in Arizona and we were in the mood for some Hawaiian food. We pulled up our trusty Yelp and found Maui Hawaiian Grill. We called in our order and the employee was friendly. We arrived at Maui Hawaiian Grill in the Mill Pointe Center strip mall and needed to add another plate to our order. Inside was nice and big, with tables and looked very clean. It was busy inside and we let the cashier know we had to add another plate to our call in order, and let him know we were willing to wait for it. To our surprise, they called our number for pick up and let us know they rushed ordered our extra plate and there was no additional wait. Amazing customer service!! We made sure to tip him well. Got back and opened up our food. We ordered the Kalua pig combo with Bbq chicken $11.99, the chicken katsu plate $10.99 and the BBQ and katsu mix plate $12.99. Wow, big portions, everything came with 2 scoops rice and mac salad as well. Great pricing and great portion sizes!!! Food was good.

Service was excellent, really clean restaurant. I've always drive so fast by this place never thought a restaurant would be in this plaza. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and a crunch roll. Great portion, the roll was delicious and freshly made. Definitely will be coming back cannot wait to try other dishes. Also the mac salad is sweet, never had it that way before ny daughter loved it.

We decided to eat at Paradise Hawaiian BBQ while in Phoenix towards the end of our trip because we missed eating "rice"! Because we were there for a convention, it was crowded because they are walking distance from the convention center. We decided to do a phone call order. As i called, i get yelled at over the phone "HOLD ON!" So i hold on... she finally comes back on and says "what do you want to order?" I'm kind of used to this type of yelling, because when you go to a L and L, this is exactly how they talk to. We decide to order 4 plates. We walk over to the little shop and stand in line. The one cashier seemed overwhelmed so another lady comes to help her. We get to the cashier and they know we ordered over the phone, again the lady who took the order was a little rude. So i decided to ask, who's from Hawaii? She said i am. I said wow, that's nice that you decided to open up a restaurant here. Again she was a little standoffish. So we informed her we were from Hawaii, and she looked up at us and her whole attitude was a lot different, very nice. Whether your from Hawaii or not, everyone should receive the aloha spirit. As we waited for our food, we met this guy that sat at the first table doodling on a napkin. I went over and spoke with him, come to find out he was a architect and created some of the buildings in hawaii! How cool is that. Our food then came out, everything was good.

"Hawaiian BBQ done rightThis was our first visit to Kahu Hawaiian BBQ and we were pleasantly surprised at the quantity and quality of food, this place is doing Hawaiian BBQ right.On this visit we shared the teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, and crab rangoon. Everything was piping hot, fresh, and flavorful and the portion sizes are large enough for two. I really appreciate that we were given extra teriyaki sauce was provided without even asking. I recommend you stop by and enjoy a delicious meal."
"Not bad. Ono Hawaiian is better.Got the bbq mix. The Mac salad could be better. The meat was good."
"I enjoy going to the old town Scottsdale location. But, this location seemed to skimp more of the toppings. I asked for extra rice and was only given a tiny bit more. My non-fish eating, friend really enjoyed the fresh grilled teriyaki chicken breast on rice bowl for $10. It was his first time at a poke restaurant, but loves Panda Express and Chinese food. The interior is basic fast casual dining with TVs playing fail videos."
"Should I have gotten one of their yummy, super fresh rice bowls, probably, but the dole whip was calling my name!!! So unbelievable good!!! Dessert before dinner really is a thing!!!!"
"The family and I were craving something different and we been wanting to try Hawaiian food for a long time so we decided to stop by. Walking in felt relaxing. Everyone quite enjoying their food. You order your food at the front and then you take a seat. We ordered the teriyaki chicken, sweet chili chicken and the spam musubi. All were flavorful and were given in huge portions as well. Everything tasted fresh and it didn't feel heavy at all. The food was very comforting and we noticed other items on the menu we are looking to try next time we come like the katsu chicken. Overall, awesome experience."
"My family was craving some Hawaiian food and we decided to stop by Love Hawaiian BBQ on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with spacious amount of parking spots available.We had entered the restaurant and were the only patrons inside. The restaurant was freezing!! Even with our jackets on, it was still really cold inside! The menu had a lot of options on it such as the followingChicken:Hawaiian BBQ ChickenChicken KatsuTeriyaki ChickenOrange ChickenLemon Pepper Chicken BreastBeef:Hawaiian BBQ BeefKalbi Short RibsKalua PorkSeafood:Island White FishCrispy ShrimpAfter reviewing the menu, my family and I selected Loco Moco Chicken Katsu and Kalua pork with Rice/Mac SaladChicken Teriyaki with RiceKids Meal: BBQ BeefThe price was relatively inexpensive, approximately $45.00 for the entire order, but the portions were small. It took around 20 minutes for the entire meal to be cooked. The Loco Moco was decent. The hamburger patty was burnt and small though. The scrambled eggs and gravy was delicious. The Chicken Katsu and Kalua Pork was okay. There was a lot of breading on the Chicken Katsu. Overall, we had a good experience at Love Hawaiian BBQ."
"We ordered delivery, so this is a bit different than if we were to eat in person. But we thought it was delicious and would totally order again! Their house sauce and ahi tuna is delicious. I did order ginger on my bowl and none came with it, which was a little strange. Our only major complaint is that my husband's large bowl seemed to have a lot less rice than my regular bowl. I'm not sure if that's because they do more meat, but it threw us off. Especially since his bowl was more expensive than mine, and mine was definitely more filling."
"As someone who lived right next to the ocean for 5 years, I can be harsh on fish quality here in the desert. Lomi Poki is the BEST Poki I've had in the entire state of Arizona. Yeah, I said it. It's true.We got takeout tonight and ordered online not knowing what to expect but the quality and fresh ingredients absolutely blew me away. The fish was phenomenal and did not disappoint. My favorite thing about this place was the myriad of toppings, protein, and sauce options. It was the perfect amount of food for me and the prices seemed totally reasonable given the cost of fish these days. When picking up, the process was easy and the staff was kind & efficient. I will definitely be going back...repeatedly. And I will be trying new things every time since they have the variety for that! Sooo tasty."
"Clean shop and friendly owner! Stopped by here for the first time and got a small poke bowl (includes two scoops of protein). The fish seemed fresh and there were plenty of topping options. Majority of the toppings are similar to other poke places, but I did notice they have shaved brussels sprouts, which is something you don't typically see. My poke bowl breakdown:- Base: Combo (rice + greens)- Protein: 1 scoop salmon, 1 scoop Hawaiian tuna- Sauce: Koibito House + Citrus Ponzu- Toppings: edamame, cucumber, green onion, ginger, masago, cilantro, seaweed salad, crab mix- Dry toppings: furikake, fried onionsI got a small bowl, which looked pretty small at first, but once you eat everything, it's actually very filling! Will be back :)"
"Arizona: A wonderful landlocked state known for sushi and Hawaiian food.Isn't that what you were thinking? ;)Pacific Rim & Sushi started off as a food truck and has since moved into this great brick and mortar. The chef grew up on the island of Kauai, so hey, that has to count for something, right?On the first visit, we ordered the $16 Loco Moco and $15 Chicken Katsu. The loco moco was salty, but the chicken katsu was really juicy. Both had portion sizes that were more than generous. The mac salad isn't my favorite, and if you know me, I'm one to usually get no rice and all mac salad, but here, I say keep the rice! It helps cut the sodium level of the brown gravy on the loco moco.What a great spot and some good eats. I'll be back again to try more of the menu."
"We rolled through the drive-thru here on our way to the Tanger Outlet Mall in Glendale. It was a half hour from where we were in Scottsdale. We had to get a quick something to quench our thirst and hopefully not pass out before we made it to the outlet, lol. When it's 116° outside, you better STAY hydrated!!So we got a fruit punch and Dole Whip. They hit the spot. I always start to feel a little lightheaded and dizzy if I'm in extreme heat, so a lil sugar fix usually gets me back out of grouch mode. Dole Whip is my jam, and the portion here was just right, and so is the price. I'd pay more than twice in CA, ughhh.Hawaiian Bros Island Grill is reminiscent of Ono and L&L. Idk if they're sister companies, but they serve the same type of dishes. If I come through this area again, I would dine inside to see if the food is legit. The service was great, and we were in and out in minutes. Thanks for coming to our rescue when we were severely parched! Be back soon!"
"GLENDALE!!!!! HAWAIIAN/CHINESE FUSION???!!!! T&Y(THANK YOU). You guys know what I'm going to tell you about this spot. I'm impressed with this place! Where are you going to find a Hawaiian BBQ place that carries a large selection of entrees? Just look at Uber Eats menu choices. Let's start with the 3-entree meal. I had Orange Chicken, BBQ Beef, and BBQ Short Rib. You heard me say Orange Chicken, right? Orange Chicken batter is a light tempura-based batter. Let's talk about the BBQ Beef. Very soft and tender. The seasoning got me thinking of Chinese 5 Spice more Chinese than Hawaiian seasoning. How would I describe it? Try Chinese Beef Jerky. You'll know when you try it. Macaroni salad is about 6 scoops for a large. Thai tea is good. If you want Hawaiian & Chinese food, this place got you covered!!! Just letting you they got white fish as an entree just in case you forgot to look down at the menu photo."
"Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a chain of casual Hawaiian Style lunch plate restaurants. Ono in Hawaiian means good or delicious.........This is about the Glendale location.It's casual and you order and pay at the counter. The person taking the order made an error ringing the order in but read the order correctly. It took a different person to make the order correct.I got my Island white fish & BBQ chicken combo. I thought it looked good. I take a bite of fish and it taste like oil. It's mushy inside and gross. OK then I move on the the chicken. It's grilled nicely and caramelized....and tender but.....it taste just like soy sauce.....and it hard to keep eating it because it just taste like soy sauce.....The rice was ok and the macaroni salad was a little dried out. The steamed (steamed???( vegetables were DISGUSTING they were full of oil. I consider them not edible. My husband tried the BBQ Combo (beef, short rib, chicken). All the meats tasted the same. They just taste like soy sauce. And he was served the same oily vegetables.Every THING could have been better. Error ringing in order. Oil soaked fish.beef and chicken taste flat and taste like soy sauce.OIL LOGGED VEGETABLES.Even the condiments don't taste good.My advice is that you should hire culinary students. It couldn't hurt.Ono or is it Oh no!The other Hawaiian restaurant in the area is like 100 times better in every way."
"I'm a regular at Pokitrition and enjoy the freshness of the food here. Pokitrition is known for their Hawaiian inspired sushi bowls and burritos that you customize yourself. They were started by some ASU grads and have a few locations across the Valley. I came by here to try their Hawaiian BBQ inspired menu items and got some Katsu and Kalbi Short Ribs. They have spam too. I like that they are adding more items to their menu. This location is located right off the 101 near the Talking Stick area and next door to their sister store Rewind Desserts. This is a great spot to grab some Hawaiian themed cuisine and then some ice cream or boba afterwards."
"Quick and friendly service, fresh and delicious food, great protein options with a variety of bases and toppings, definitely worth a try! Planning to come back."
"I don't know how I missed the opening of this place, but so glad I saw it today by chance. This area has been sorely missing a great açaí option. Located in three Fey's shopping center just off three 303 and Greenway it's a very, very busy parking lot. I had to park quite a way out and walk over. I was very surprised to find no one else inside. The menu has some great options. I quickly settled on a medium Hawaiian. There is a great amount of seasoning inside as well as a few tables outside with some umbrellas for some hopeful shade. Service was friendly and I had my bowl quickly. The location was clean and the best part was my bowl was delicious! I'm sure I'll be back quite often when in the area."
