Very good poke but they keep raising the prices and decreasing the food portions. Today I spent $21 plus tip for a four scoop bowl. The the woman putting my bowl together was super stingy on the base. She spread out the salad so it was literally a handful of salad. I asked for more greens and she said she would have to charge me for that. The price gouging is a little out of control now. For $21, I shouldn't have to go home and add salad to my bowl. I go mostly to the studio city location, so I'll probably route myself to that one in the future! The poke is fresh and I like the diversity of toppings you get here. read more

My first visit was on Friday, March 13 around 12:30 PM. It was my first time there and the menu felt a little overwhelming. The service was just okay and I wish someone had taken a moment to explain the options a bit more. I ordered the small two-fish bowl but wasn't told I could actually pick two different fish, so I ended up with two scoops of spicy tuna. That said... the food was so good that I couldn't stop thinking about it all weekend. So I came back today (March 15 around 5:30 PM) and Ari helped me -- and wow, what a difference. She was super friendly, patient, and took the time to walk me through the menu. She explained that I could mix fish, add toppings, and even get sauces on the side. It made the whole experience way better. Ari was an absolute rock star, especially considering how busy the place gets. Customer service like that really makes a difference. I'm local, so safe to say they've got a regular now. read more

Great go to poke spot in the valley! Good quality fresh fish and generous portions. It usually makes sense to just get a large financially, it's only a couple bucks more, but that ultimately depends on you and your hunger level. Large is $21 and you get 4 scoops of fish. You choose a base, 2 sides (crabmeat, seaweed salad, etc.), toppings (no limit which I love, but there are some toppings that cost extra like masago or avocado), sauce, and toppings at the end like furikake and crispy onion. I really liked my bowl! They were quite heavy handed with the crunchy toppings - the crispy onions and the crispy garlic, but overall I still enjoyed the meal. Filling and tasty! Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, there's a parking lot but it can fill up quickly. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by for a quick dinner. Even though it's on Ventura blvd it has a parking lot which is very helpful. I walked inside and was greeted immediately. They have 3 tables inside so I was able to sit and eat which was nice. I went with a small which was two proteins and plenty of food! The serving sizes are great, the fish was fresh and the sides were unique and tasty! The yuzu ponzu had so much flavor and every bite was a delight. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often but if I'm in the area again I will definitely be back! read more

SO SO yummy! I don't live in the area. I live about 25 minutes away. This is one of our favorite poker spots and worth the drive 100%! The lady is working behind the counter are efficient and on top of it! They are very nice and do a great job at moving the line . I got two orders of the same thing. Both small and with three proteins. The small comes with two proteins, but I added one on. I got salmon, tuna, and albacore. I got half rice, half kale and salad. Less rice. The sauces I opted to mix in was the original poke sauce and the Yuzu miso sauce. OMG! Delicious! For my two sides I opted to get the crab salad and cucumbers. Mixed in with the proteins were cilantro, green onions, red onions, serrano peppers, cucumbers, and honestly, I forget what else I added lol. I asked to put the fried garlic and onions (in one container) on the side. I love love love that they fry their own onions and garlic! I've been to other places where they use the store-bought stuff and I won't go back to those places. I also got a side of their lemon cream (bomb) and spicy mayo. I brought a cooler with ice packs and put them on ice for my drive home. Our dinner was absolutely delicious! I freaking love this place. I wished they opened up in Porter Ranch! Customer service is nice. Food is delicious! No complaints. Sorry, why do you do that? Do you think I don't see the love? Why do you not put these beautiful lights on? Do you wanna go outside? I love you. I need to go change my clothes. Simple to that as my dad would say :-) read more

Poke portions, just as many have mentioned, were quite plentiful, though one of my main food observations is that I asked for rice and salad base, and the rice portion was very much disproportionate to the salad that they provided me. It's not a complaint, but just something to keep in mind, if you ask for a half and half base combination. The vegetable and fish selection were pretty similar to most other poke places I have been to and it was about $16 for a small, which is 2 fish options. The service was fine, though I did arrive towards the evening time and one of the gals did seem quite snappy a bit. It's okay though, she was probably tired and just ready to go home! It was very clean inside and was glad to see there wasn't a long line at all. Customers were trickling in and out, and there is a pretty good amount of seats inside. Parking was not an issue and lots of cool other eateries and places to check out in the shopping center, if you have time or want to check out the other establishments nearby! read more

Yay! What a wonderful discovery 8oz Poke was. I've actually known of 8oz for a while but never stopped in. Honestly the parking lot has always such a deterrent, but no more! We got our poke to go and it was perfect. Packaged well and traveled great. The fish was maybe the best I've had at any poke place. It was SO fresh. I had scallop, tuna and salmon. All of them were equally as delicious. Now I'm not a super big sauce person, so I got ponzu and it was a really nice simple addition. I got my fish over brown rice and added seaweed, cucumber, crab, ginger, masago, avocado and furikake. The portion was pretty big. The one thing I didn't love was that the avocado was like a scoop of guacamole. I would have preferred sliced avocado. The brown rice was a little undercooked perhaps, but still good. This might be my new go-to poke place! read more

Nothing bad about this place but nothing special either. Typically poke place, I feel like they have some interesting topping choices like the fried onion (which was so yummy), and some interesting sauces like the Lemon Cream (also very good) Not much options for fish and other toppings though. Price wise was typical for a poke place (expensive haha) Service wise they were very nice, and they had multiple workers who were fast! Location wise they do have seating inside which is nice, still a small place, they offer free water which is a plus! It's right next to a Starbucks too! I still think this place is worth a trip just for the fried onions haha. Overall I wouldn't make it my go to unfortunately. read more

Easily an above-average poke shop. I wasn't even craving poke when I first discovered this spot, but I instantly walked in when I saw photos of the crispy onion topping. It's probably one of the more distinctive features compared some other locations I've visited. ***Caution*** - the smell is pungent... so maybe have a breath mint after? When you just look at the price, it seems a bit expensive, but the quantity is well worth it. I ordered a medium bowl and it was more than satiating. Found myself full with an awkward amount left, so I finished the entire plate. I was wrestling with food coma for the next few hours. Quality of each ingredient is pretty solid. I don't think I experienced anything bad while eating the food. The only reason I took off a star is due to the environment. The interior seems a bit run down and I would not want to eat inside there again. It seemed gloomy and not a place to stay. There also aren't too many seats inside which makes me think the manager wants people to take their food and go. read more

I have been consistently going to 8oz for 5 years since I moved to LA. I started at the West Hollywood location when I lived closer, and now I live in studio city, but my husbands shop is in Sherman oaks so I go to both of the valley locations. I haven't had 8oz, let alone poke in a while and after going here the other day, it was so. Freaking. Good! There were few people in front of me but it went by super quick, the staff were all very nice and efficient, and the fish was perfection! This is my 3 poke spot in LA, and to be honest, I come to 8oz more often than any other place. Thank you so being so consistent and delicious. *Absolutely love their albacore, can never go wrong. read more

I could hear every employees personal business and abnoxious noise the entire time, I found it super unprofessional.

delicious poke in Sherman Oaks area! Fish was super fresh and the mix of house sauce with original poke sauce paired perfectly, however the stand out was definitely the crispy onions topping. it reminded me so much of the vietnamese dish banh tom, and so unlike any other fried onion ive had at other poke joints. would come back just for that. pricey but expected price for poke near LA, we found that a large poke bowl with a side of extra fish fulfilled 2 people. parking is not easy, restaurant is located in a small plaza with a parking lot but a good amount of the spots are reserved for other restaurants, we had to circle around a few times before we found one. overall still a great spot for poke in the valley :) read more

Came here on a Thursday around 7 pm with 2 other people. The parking lot was nearly completely full but there is metered street parking as well. The employees didn't seem very happy to be there in the moment and since we were first timers, we stood by the side looking at the menu before ordering but felt pressured to start. Because of the vibe, we decided to get the food to-go and eat at home about 10 minutes away. I decided to get the large box (~$20) which comes with 4 scoops of protein. I got 2 scoops of salmon, 1 of scallop, and 1 of tuna. For the base, I got half white rice and half kale (my friends added more home cooked rice when we got home too). For the sides (you pick 2) I got seaweed salad and crab mix. There were plenty of toppings, sauces, and garnishes to get as well. The employees did answer my questions and gave me reasonable amounts so their attitude may have been because they were tired (we were about an hour away till closing). They werent rude at all but we felt uncomfortable making decisions and asking about the items. Overall it was a quick experience, we left within a few minutes. The food itself was delicious. I wouldn't get the kale again because it was cut into huge chunks that were difficult to eat, especially the large chunks of stalk. The quantity of everything was very generous. The fish was fresh and so were the other ingredients. The sauces I got (sriracha Mayo, wasabi Mayo, sriracha) and the crunchy garlic and crunchy onions added great flavor and texture. I would eat here again if I was around. Worth the price, quality, and quantity. read more

All the elements of classic fried rice were present in abundance , and the char su was tender and moist and gave the whole dish a slight sweetness I'm a big dude and I was pretty hungry but I could only eat about half of my plate . I took the rest home and warmed it up in my non stick wok the next day for lunch and still couldn't eat it all. I won't go anywhere else for fried rice from now on and I'm definitely going to try some of their other dishes in the future. I would recommend this place to anyone

The price point is higher than other local Hawaiian BBQ spots, but I would say it's well worth it. The restaurant is quite small and operates more takeout style, but they have a separate area for dining, both indoor and outdoor depending on your preference. Service is good, but please note if you're ordering takeout, they'll need CC and ID confirmation.

I was surprised to be charged for all the mac, and unfortunately, the beef ribs were very tough and overly salty.

Over the years I've gotten take-out here but have also done dine-in. It seems they mostly do catering now, because they have very short business hours for the public. They are only open Thursdays and Fridays 10-3. Per the nice male employee who gave me my order, they're open on Sat and Sun if they don't have a lot of catering jobs, otherwise they're closed. Their website says their dining room is closed, but the employee says it's open Thurs and Fri. Nevertheless, I followed the website's info and ordered pick up. Here's what I ordered: 1) Komai's Big Breakfast. Komai was Aloha's original chef. Two eggs with all the meats: Portuguese sausage, Spam, Vienna sausage, corned beef hash plus 2 scoops of rice and a Hawaiian roll. No surprises here, very nice. 2) Kal B Chicken plate lunch. Chicken marinated in the same sauce as the more familiar kalbi beef short ribs, with rice and mac salad. The chicken did not seem to take up the marinade as well as beef, so it was tasty but on the dry side. I'd probably give their chicken teriyaki a go next time. The mac salad was fine, did have potatoes. 3) Spam musubi. Again no surprises, classic 4) ordered a side of char siu, but it was not available. A nice go-to if you're hankering for classic Hawaiian on a Thurs or Fri.

From the photos and reviews, the place…read morelooked pretty run-down, so I figured it might just be one of those local hidden-gem type spots. Even after arriving, I almost changed my mind about ordering because the plaza itself looked very old and rough. I brought my girlfriend with me, and she was actually the one who said that since we were already there, we might as well try it. The restaurant is basically takeout only, and the inside is very simple and worn down. That said, the person taking our order was extremely friendly, which made the experience much better right away. After checking Yelp, I decided to order the Indonesian fried rice, BBQ chicken, and fried chicken. The fried rice was easily the highlight. I got it spicy, and it had a nice kick that made it feel more special. I'm not sure if this is part of the Indonesian style, but there were little bits of noodles mixed into the fried rice, which made it unique and really tasty. It also had a generous amount of meat inside, and the portion was huge. It was probably one of the best fried rice dishes I've had recently. The BBQ chicken was solid too. It had that tasty Hawaiian-style plate lunch feel, came with mac salad, and was seasoned well. The fried chicken was a little mixed for me. The crispy outside was good, but the chicken itself had a slight off taste, like it didn't feel as fresh as I hoped. Not terrible, but definitely not my favorite item. Overall, Top Restaurant surprised me in a good way. The place itself is very no-frills, but the fried rice alone makes it worth coming back. I'd definitely return for that.
