    Do not take the fast way It evens out every time  Hawaiian BBQ Short Ribs & Crispy Shrimp Plate (all rice) from #KahuHawaianBBQ
    Mojo S.

    At first I was a little gunshy seeing all the middling and poor reviews this place received. But it turns out this place was pretty good. My kalbi and shrimp, while on the small portion sure, still was enough to fill me up and was quite delicious to boot. At that price point for the combo, I'd be more than willing to order this good. The other nice thing is they were able to substitute out the Mac salad and veggies, as those should never be a part of any meal meant to be edible. Some Hawaiian places want to charge you extra for the public service, but Kahu does not, which I appreciate. Overall, the service was just exemplary. And while the space might be a little small and some of the tables have their chairs stored away, it had a good ambience and wasn't something I could be annoyed or concerned about. As it is, I like having another option for when I go to the movies. A lot of the time I'm in the area it's the fast food life for me, but this provides some decent Hawaiian grub as a nice alternative. That's great for me.

    Great portions of food at great prices! We enjoyed the Orange Chicken & Macaroni Salad! Waitress was extremely kind and helpful. Location was very clean. The service was great as the wait time was swift while delivering on big sizes of the food!

    Garlic White Fish plate

    I got the garlic white fish plate and thought it was very tasty. The fish was kind of thin, so if your trying to compare it to other Hawaiian bbq's you might be disappointed but I liked it a lot! My husband got the chicken and beef combo and said he had had better.

    3. Spicy Chicken Plate with a musubi in the background
    Meagan I.

    Finally a Hawaiian bbq place in San Dimas! Always looking for a good meal and this little place is perfect for getting rid of a craving! The CHICKEN KATSU is a classic go to staple. It's always well made and super crispy. A+ for the macaroni salad! Also, some nice veggies that were a little undercooked which I really don't mind. If you want a healthier option, the SPICY CHICKEN PLATE is a decent option. I feel like it's missing a little something but It's got a nice little kick! I went with brown rice and it was a bit dry but not too bad! The MUSUBI is a perfect salty and sweet snack if you need one. You can't go wrong with an order of two!

    half & half beef and chicken plate
    David G.

    This is my first time coming here. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly employee behind the counter. I explained to him that it was my first time visiting the restaurant and he was patient enough to explain the menu. I opted for the beef & chicken half and half plate. It was prepared really fast! Honestly, it was super delicious and healthy tasting. I really recommend this restaurant! : )

    Chicken plate
    Kev T.

    Chicken breast plate was amazing! I had a side of lemon and it was very healthy and not dry. We got the fish plate too, fish was thin and crispy. The spam masubi was the perfect portion and cooked good. The older Asian guy was very friendly and giving us recommendations on what to get as this was our first time here. It's a nice little Hawaiian food place with a big menu.

    Worm in the food
    Toni S.

    We ordered through grubhub because this place is usually great.... halfway through our meal, however, we found worms in the vegetables. I don't know how many bugs we ate before noticing the worms. We were disgusted, to say the least. I really hope that my husband, baby, and I don't get sick from eating this food. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

Very cool and clean interior with good seating. All gender restroom in the back... key required. Poke bowl comes in 5 sizes each with varying scoops of proteins. I wanted two large bowls each with 5 scoops. Went with all salmon and every topping that was offered except for the lemon/lime. Proteins, veggies, and dry toppings were all very fresh. Kate, the owner, recommended a combination of 4 different sauces, Poke Bomb mild, House Special mild, Spicy Sesame, Spicy Mayo. I said let's try it. She put them together for me. It was good indeed. Very well balanced sauce concotion for the poke bowl! Kate was super friendly and kind. She gave me one complimentary small Island Fresca Lemonade lemonade to try. It was so very refreshing. I ended up getting one cup to-go. I got one Thai Iced Tea to-go as well. Drinks were refreshingly amazing! I had to drive over an hour plus to get home. Kate gave me an ice pack to keep the poke bowls cold. Thank you Kate for everything! My eldest daughter and I enjoyed our poke bowls very much. Highly recommend Poke Poki for the poke lovers! Great poke bowls at very reasonable prices. Btw, make sure you get their loyalty card. Buy 10 poke bowls of two scoops or larger, get one poke bowl of three scoops for free. That's a steal! Come get your yummy and delicious poke bowls and more!!

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon due to my original poke joint in Claremont going out of business…read moreaka Oh Poke not sure what happened there .. but as of today location is still closed. So I decided to try this place out so far so good . A little different than what I was use to but still a good alternative/option. I will say it was a little warm in there AC would prob be better for more comfortable dine in experience.

We…read morearrived right when they opened at 12:15 p.m. on a Saturday, and there was already a line out the door. Despite the crowd, we were seated within about 25-30 minutes, which wasn't too bad. Just be sure not to arrive too hungry because we don't want yall to be hangry! If you're looking to avoid the wait, I'd recommend visiting on a weekday, especially around 2 pm or 3 pm. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere had a welcoming vibe that reminded me of being in Thailand, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. As for the food, their fish and chips are hands down the best I've had. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and every bite was worth it. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality, service, and overall experience make it well worth the splurge. I'll definitely be coming back with my gf!

It came out pretty fast, but I wish the batter coating was more intact, it fell apart on my first bite. Squid was soft and tender inside. Battered fish and chips: Fish was HUMONGOUS. So crispy and crunchy, fish was juicy and piping hot. Chips/fries were okay to me, it was soft on the inside and outside. Kale slaw was good, light on dressing and wasn't heavily drenched.
