    Build Your Own Bowl - Regular

    Been here many times and the workers are great, great service. I love their poke bowls and Hawaiian tuna is a must!

    Marie C.

    Got home, shook my bowl with the lid on, and immediately found a hair in my poke bowl... really sad because this is my first poke bowl with fish after having a baby and I have been dreaming of this moment for months.

    This place was really good! My husband brought me here after trying it himself first. There's so many options when it comes to the proteins and toppings. I do love too that they have many sauce choice but they also show popular combos on the order window and they will give you recommendations as well on what they like to mix and what works well with the proteins you chose. They do have some drinks called refreshers and it's sodas with some mix ins and I tried the lemon coke. It was really different and gave me a flashback of lemon Pepsi from years ago. We def will come back when we want that good fresh poke bowl!

    Always great service and fresh poke bowls! Love coming here after a Costco run. I always get 1/2 brown rice & spring salad with spicy salmon. Eel sauce with dry toppings.

    Thank you, Sunny. It was great meeting you! You did an amazing job on our jumbo Volcano sushi burrito (adding tempura shrimp) The flavors came together nicely. Looking forward to visiting again!

    How big one half the burrito is!!

    Service was great and super fast! Definitely will be choosing here over another place for the poke burritos. If you haven't tried hot cheetos on your sushi burrito you are missing out!

    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.

    Portions were great, I got super full off of a BYO Bowl! I got through the line very quickly and staff were really friendly. Lots of seating inside and outside and I liked how they offered Hawaiian drinks!

    One of my new favorite POKÉ places in Tempe now, service was great and they very helpful. Inside was clean and everything looked fresh. Food portions were huge and it's definitely worth your money. They have tons of different options for toppings and a good selection of proteins. Overall, a great place for poke and fast service, highly recommend.

    I ordered a two protein bowl. I got salmon and Hawaii tuna on white rice. The fish was very fresh. Every bite was great. There was a good choice of mix ins. I didn't love the shoyu sauce I got. Just tasted like soy. I was really excited about the cucumber kimchi but was disappointed. The acid level was off and there was no other pickled cucumber option. I will absolutely go back because of the quality of the fish, but will try different sauces.

    Salmon, ponzu sauce and delicious veggies!!
    Kelly P.

    This place is fantastic! The ingredients are super fresh and delicious. Prices are solid too. I feel like a lot of poke places are starting to overcharge. I would absolutely come back here! also the guy working was very friendly and welcoming!! I love this place! The restaurant decor is super cute and has a beach feeling as well.

    My wife and I have eaten here several times in the past without major issue, and we keep going back…read morebecause we generally enjoy it. This past Sunday, Mother's Day 2026, I stopped in around 3:45 to pick up dinner with chicken teriyaki, beef bugolgi, tempura shrimp, white rice, and green salad. It was the only meal of the day that we each ate from the same establishment. After I ordered, I heard the guy cooking complain to the cashier girls up front that it would be awhile, but they didn't repeat the concerns to me, so I didn't pay it any mind. Overnight, Sunday night/ Monday morning, my wife and I both became violently ill. I think maybe that chicken that was gonna take too long to cook, wasn't cooked all the way. It doesn't matter how many times I've eaten here in the past without incident. That was an absolutely terrible experience, and I won't risk it happening again, just because the cook wants to get out of work early. I will never eat here again.

Wife order the coconut shrimp plate along with their mac salad and I had the bulkogi plate with mac salad. I also ordered a side of fried won ton. I think overall the quality of the food isn't what it used to be although I will say was good today. My bulgogi had some tough, grisly pieces of beef, which is to be expected due to the cut but I've also had this dish elsewhere and found it to be really tender and juicy...not so much today. The fried won ton or ok but again, I remember them being filled with more filling and thought these were a tad over fried. The coconut shrimp was good and it came with some teriyaki chicken as well. Overall a good meal and we will come again!

    My husband wanted a Whattaburger and this place was accross the parking lot. I told my husband…read morethat I wanted to try this place. The space is bright and open. High and low tables and self serve drinks. There was also a sauce table. My husband ordered the BBQ Beef plate with double Mac salad. Not sure what the cashier heard but when we checked the plate, it had sautéed cabbage instead of extra mac. Brought it to the cashiers attention and she apologized and said that was her fault. She provided another scoop. My husband said it wasn't bad and he knows his teriyaki. He did say that the extra teriyaki sauce I got helped as it was slightly dry. They also gave a lot of the bbq meat. He ran out of rice so I gave him some of mine . I ordered an Aloha Plate Combo which is a 2 choice plate from a set list and toss salad instead of mac. I got the Shrimp & Island Fire Chicken. The shrimp was okay, panko fried. The island fire chicken was a sautéed chicken with onions in a spicy sauce. It was an okay plate, nothing that really wowed. There was so much sauce on the chicken, it was hard to tell how much chicken there actually was. I also ordered 2 spam musubi for the plane as we had an early flight the next day. The rice was dry so the musubi kind of fell apart. It was recommended to eat wirh the Katsu sauce so I had a small cup in the container. It was a lot better with the sauce. Overall, if we ever do go again, I would pick something else for myself however it is a limited menu. It would be difficult for them to compete with Panda Express 3 doors down.

Food was ready in 15 minutes. We got the lobster roll which is Connecticut style-my preference-with lots of butter! They had a fish and chips special so we got that too. And a pb&j cookie for my birthday! My husband very recently broke his leg so picking up Chulas with some great lobster was a nice treat! It's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Hawaiian Bros 4445 E Thomas Road Phoenix 85018 It was lunch time and companion and I were passing by and decided to stop. This is a relatively new store with a new concept. I enjoy good Hawaiian food if it is authentic as served in the islands. The most common is called the plate lunch. In Hawaii it consists of your protein, and usually 2 scoops of potato salad and a scoop of macaroni salad. Not exactly the right meal for a carb conscious person, but definitely a tasty meal. On entering this store we immediately noticed that there was no place to order from. Instead, there were large computer screens with items you could select from. While I am not from the modern generation that is fully computer literate, I had no problem figuring it out and ordering. I ordered the Kilauea Chicken Classic and a bottle of water. Companion ordered the Molokai Chicken Classic and a Coke Zero. Everything in the place is made for easy cleaning and non destructivity. The chairs are made of metal and are one size fits all. Unfortunately, they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in and if your rear appendage is slightly on the larger side it will not fit in any way and you will be left sitting on the edge of the chair. In due course our food arrived in plastic boxes. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice if they had been marked so we knew which was which. Because the flavors were so similar it took a bit of time to figure out the foods. The Kilauea Chicken was O.K. but nothing to write home about. It came on a bed of rice along with a ball of rice and some macaroni salad that was great. Creamy and made like that served in the islands. The Molokai Chicken bordered on inedible. It was so overcooked that I had to stop and buy toothpicks on my way to remove the remnants from my teeth. Once again, it was served over rice with a ball of rice and the same, excellent macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was the best part of the meal! Serving protein over rice and then adding another ball of rice is ridiculous. 2 Stars

In closing do NOT go here for the food. Unless it's for the rice and pineapple lemonade.
