The food was really good and large portions. I got the chicken teriyaki plate My friend got the chick and beef plate. We got the food delivered so didn't go inside but definitely worth it! read more

My son had the combo teriyaki plate. It comes with Mac Salad and a side chicken salad and white rice. That was ok, neither of us cared for the Mac salad as it had a sweet taste to it. My son did not eat it all as he didn't care to finish his plate. I got the Chinese chicken salad and it was not that great either. Kinda boring, as you see in the pic. Dressing is good so that's a positive. I know this place is popular maybe I need to try other stuff but this is my second time and I really think there's better teriyaki places out there. read more

I ordered the loco moco special with a pineapple cream soda. The loco moco was really good. The burger patty was juicy and flavorful, the gravy was rich and savory, and the egg on top tied everything together perfectly. The rice soaked up all the sauce and made it super comforting and filling. The pineapple cream soda was cold and refreshing and went really well with the meal. Sweet, creamy, and a nice contrast to the savory plate. The spot itself has a relaxed, casual vibe and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Food came out hot and fast. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a solid Hawaiian style comfort meal. read more

I ordered the chicken katsu curry plate ($18.90, plus tax of $1.98) for the first time, today. Potatoes and carrots are in curry gravy, served over rice and chicken katsu. I suspect that the vegetables were pre-cooked, then set aside until needed. (Some of the smaller vegetable pieces had a constant temperature throughout; some of the larger potato chunks were cooler in the center than the exterior.) But that's ok, because the vegetables weren't overcooked and had an "al dente" texture. The white rice and vegetables have a neutral taste. The curry had just the right amount of salt and spice to add flavor to these elements without being "too much". The meal also came with a small salad. This was unexpected. But the side salad provided a palate cleanser in between bites of curry. In my younger years, I would have finished the whole plate. Nowadays, I eat until no longer hungry. All of this is to say that the serving size is more than adequate. read more

Island Hut - chicken katsu curry plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Lomita, California

Casual place... popular take out. Great value! Our usual Teriyaki Chicken and Beef is enough for two, maybe plus one child. The teriyaki wasn't too sweet and the beef was very tender. The cabbage ramen salad that it came with was very tasty. I preferred it over the Chinese chicken salad my MIL ordered. The mac salad was a good, a little bland. Parking in the lot but depending on what time you go, can fill up and you can park on the residential streets. (We did stop by to pick up a black sesame cream puff next door at Chantilly's!) read more

Friendly helpful workers. Rating is purely based on food quality. Curry is great. Savory aroma, tasty classic Japanese curry flavor. Munching katsu however, cooked perfectly(medium rare, more on the rare side but like the loco moco it was unbearably salty with an overwhelming ginger aftertaste which I didn't appreciate too much. Huge portions. I wouldn't follow the internet hype but its decent. read more

On a Sunday morning in early March, my brother drove my sister and I here for lunch. They opened at 11am and already there were people eating here. I ordered beef teriyaki with rice and California roll with soda. It has lot S of long tables and round tables. We didn't wait too long for our food. The plate has lots of rice and beef teriyaki which looks like beef jerky overcooked and dry, the California roll looked horrible with too much rice inside and badly rolled. My sister liked her chicken salad but her teriyaki chicken was dry too. It tastes better covered in sauce. Hence for the 2 stars. The only good thing about was free pickle ginger, clean bath rooms, Soda machine, and nice atmosphere. read more

This place is so good. Their shaved ice on a summer day is so refreshing and their flavors are great. Their Chicken Cutlet curry with veggies is solid and very flavorful. They have something for everybody that enters these doors and you come out satisfied and people come back cause it's good and comfort food as well. Their menu is BIG but a lot of great items for sure. Their parking is a bit limited at times when there's a rush but there is additional parking on street and on the other side of the shopping mall that it's in. The space is always clean and tidy and the customer service is great! The cooks are fast and efficient and hardworking for sure. read more

Decided to finally try the place I frequently pass by throughout the week! Stepping in the staff were welcoming and willing to express what their popular dishes are as a first timer. I ended up choosing the teriyaki steak and chicken combination plate. It comes with chicken salad and Mac salad. I HATED the Mac salad - I didn't like the texture or the flavor. I'm not sure what it was supposed to taste like but it wasn't seasoned and the creamy taste was not enjoyable either. The chicken salad on the other hand was delicious and they provided a good amount to accompany the proteins. The steak and chicken were super flavorful and also tender. I had enough to eat this meal twice and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance is cool - I didn't eat inside the restaurant but from what I can tell it's a very clean and comfortable atmosphere. read more

This is my second review!!! I came back to try two new plates! & Man Oh Man did it NOT!!! Disappoint! New plates I tried was Tuna poke Bowl & island fries!!! Tuna beats the salmon hands down better flavor and that avocado just blends in perfect like it turns in to this bomb cream with the Tuna and got dam it was Good! Moving on to the island fries! They were crispy and hot, cheese nice and melted I was not expecting all the different flavors punching me in the face all at once! It all just goes well together! Well made Island hut crew!!!! Vibes were good that day My family and I were well taking care of by the staff, very respectful young lady's. I got my two young daughter's ice cream, one got a vanilla scoop and to be honest it was very good! I will not leave next time without eating a scoop. They have a good selection of flavors! Now to the Main desert that my daughter wanted at first and I paid for and ended up eating it my self! The Hawaiian shaved ice! What can I say! It was well made. we got cherry and strawberry flavors. My 5year old picked flavors and well I enjoyed finishing all of it because after two spoons of it she decided she wanted a scoop of Vanilla. Please check this place out even if it's just for ice cream and fries!!! Enjoy and you welcome! read more

Back again, but this time, shared this experience with my girlfriend. Can confidently say she as well enjoyed her meal. We also grabbed the 50/50 fries with onion rings, which was a nice little app. She got the low carb teriyaki plate and i got the beef and salad combo, and they both hit the spot, with leftovers to be enjoyed later. Our server was patient and friendly, since it was my girlfriend's first time. read more

Island Hut is always an option whenever I go to the Costco in Torrance since it's nearby. The food here is so ono(tasty, NOT oh no) and service is good. Much better than L&L or the chain Ono restaurant (which I think should change its name to NoNo). Island Hut has a nice variety of options and I've never had anything I've been disappointed with in the 4 or 5 previous visits. I really enjoy their Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) curry plate. The curry is much better than I've found at some other local Hawaiian restaurants. The portion was quite large as well. What amused me was the size of the chunks of carrots. Really BIG. Enough to make any screwy wabbit happy : ) The parking lot is rather smallish and the day my wife and I went to meet some friends, a large group of Sheriffs had gathered to eat. We lucked out and got the 1 remaining spot. At least we knew we weren't getting mugged or robbed that day. Definitely give this place a shot if you're into Hawaiian food. It's a solid choice in the South Bay. read more

Island Hut - Well protected at Island Hut today. - Hawaiian Near Me - Lomita, California

My husband picked up food and brought it home. There were 6 of us, 4 adults & 2 kids. We shared 3 dinners (teriyaki chicken, teriyaki salmon and chicken katsu) along with dumplings, spam masubi and an 8-piece CA roll. Every plate came with a generous portion of the protein, white rice and their delicious Chinese chicken salad. Everything was so good and there was plenty of food. If you're familiar with the Los Alamitos restaurant Island Grill that closed a few years ago this is that restaurant in a new location and with a new name. It brought back wonderful memories and we can't wait to go back! Thanks Island Hut! You're doing a great job! read more

Wow wow wow! I came here for the first time for lunch and I'm so glad I went! This place is easy to find since there's a big sign infront. Plenty of parking as well. There's also lots of seating inside so you can come in big groups too. I got the low carb beef and my so got the beef plate. The salad has chicken in it which was super tasty and more protein! I ate half and saved the other half for later since the portions are big. The onion rings and fries were fresh and perfectly crispy. If you're in the Lomita area I would highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love me some Island Hut! Loco Moco Special is the best!! Always friendly and fast service. Definitely recommend.

I was craving some good salad and found this place. The pictures of the Chinese chicken salad got me so we ended up here. The place is in a little strip mall on its own. Inside there were a couple TVs showing a football game and open seating with some high top tables and some lower tables. They had a soda fountain with sauces like teriyaki, sriracha, and soy sauce, as well as ginger and chili oil. You order up at the counter and pay and then they bring your food out to you. I felt like the service was actually pretty good for what it is. The cashier taking our order was patient in answering our questions and repeated back our orders for clarification. He greeted us on the way in and out. I was honestly impressed with the food. The portions were huge and not too expensive. We got a few substitutions on our plates and they all came out exactly how we asked. I got the Katsu chicken donburi special and subbed the Mac/potato salad for the Chinese chicken salad. I was very happy to have a huge portion of salad. Both the Chinese chicken salad and cabbage salad were delicious, not over dressed, with a good amount of chicken and crunchy wonton chips. The Katsu donburi was flavorful and a hearty portion, served over rice. The juice from the donburi dressed the rice and the combination was perfect. My husband got the kaarage chicken plate which was also huge. The karaage was good, made with dark meat, but a little dry. They gave us a Katsu sauce to dip it in which was a little better but I personally liked the Katsu donburi better. My mother-in-law got the salmon salad and asked for no rice. They said they couldn't do any substitutions for the rice but I think they just gave her extra salad instead. Everything was really good and I'm very happy I stumbled on this place. I'll definitely push to try to get my family to come out here more when we're in town. read more

Island Hut - Teriyaki Chicken and Beef Combination Dinner - Hawaiian Near Me - Lomita, California

Always a good Hawaiian style meal. I wish they had more combo's to try a few things. I do enjoy their Chinese chicken salad and Mac salad. I had the ribs and chicken plate. I like to mix the teriyaki sauce with hot sauce and soy sauce first. It gives the chicken a more savory flavor than sweet. It was all really good. My granddaughter had their shaved ice and loved it. read more

Drove by this place and thought I'd give it a try and add it to the other Hawaiian food places I've tried in the South Bay. Ordered a chicken katsu curry and a teriyaki beef and chicken combo with a side of chow mein. First off, I should've checked the order before I left, they gave me a chicken curry instead of a chicken katsu curry. Oh well. The curry wasn't bad but nothing that stood out. The teriyaki chicken and beef wasn't that good to me. It kinda had a weird aftertaste. And as for the chow mein it's meh. Place was clean and service was good though. Overall, island hut is basically a little bit above L & L. But no where near the level of Auntie Mailes, tnt aloha cafe, ladybug cafe, and Gardena bowl. read more

Very open diner vibe. Plenty of seating for people. The service was good. The cashier was very friendly and helpful on ordering. She was able to describe the dishes and how much food is in each plate. We ordered the teriyaki short rib plate and chili and rice bowl. The teriyaki short ribs were very tasty. Good thickness on and meat and tender. Also had good flavor. The chicken salad is really good, wish there was a bit more shredded chicken. The mac salad is seasoned well and has good texture. The chili is okay. The seasoning balance for me is a bit off but was delicious. I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

I checked this place out as a recommendation from a family member. It's a smaller version of The Local Place and King's Hawaiian located on the corner of Lomita and Pennsylvania Ave. They have a big menu with pictures and plenty of seating, but not a big parking lot. I think the food quality and plentiful seating makes up for it. There is a cashier that takes your order and then you sit down and wait for your food. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with 4 piece California roll with a spam musubi on the side. It was good and the portions are huge. I love how there is no limit on the ginger. I would recommend this spot if you are looking for good quality Hawaiian food. There can be a wait depending on how busy they are. Either phone ahead or be prepared to wait. But go check it out! read more

Island Hut - #5 Teriyaki Chicken with 4 Pieces of California Roll Spam Musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Lomita, California

See all

On the bright side, the spam musubi was well-constructed and tasty. That said, our large BBQ mix plate left much to be desired. Starting with size, it was quite small compared to chains like L&L. The chicken was chopped into small sizes and overcooked while the short rib pieces (just 2) were small and sinewy. Oddly enough, the meats were covered in a sauce that tasted like sugary American BBQ sauce. Would not order again. read more

The furikake had a strong fish flavor that felt overpowering compared to the kind I'm used to--might just be personal preference, but it threw me off. The spam itself could've been crispier, and the whole thing fell apart pretty easily when I tried to eat it. I might be picky since a close friend from Hawaii used to make these for me, but personally, I wouldn't get it again. read more

First time here... Seen people on Instagram give rave reviews for this place... I ordered the Teriyaki chicken plate and came with mac salad, and cabbage/chicken salad ( no salad for me please). Also, got miso soup (had noodles in it), and California rolls. The total for that was under $40 with tax Chicken is delectable and moist. MAC salad has some type of pickly flavor and has carrots, peas, and corn... not bad at all. Can't go wrong with miso soup especially on a cold rainy day even with surprising noddles inside. Cali rolls were nice and plump All in all a 10/10 with me read more
