    Hawaiian Ahi
    Stella W.

    a poke place I will definitely come back to! it's pretty fresh poke. no bite was gross or questionable. all of the ingredients tasted fresh. Hawaiian ahi was light and refreshing! it's my go to order. Very nice and patient customer service. minimal seating inside. more of a take to go place.

    The dynamite shrimp was just too good. The flavor was bright and it went well with all the sides. I like that instead of spending my credits in ClassPass I just can come here. Be warned that finding parking here is really difficult around 5:00pm. I had to go around the parking couple of times.

    Tuna, salmon

    I tried to make my own bowl and it came out pretty good. Fresh fish, lots of sauce options. Hardworking, polite stuff. Fast service. Overall it's a good local poke spot. Few sittings available

    First time at Pokeworks and it did not disappoint. Loved the store ambiance, it was bright and inviting. The service was great, everyone was friendly and fast! Now the food, it was probably one of the best Poke i had in the area. My proteins were fresh and the sauces were delicious (I got ponzu fresh and umami shoyu). I also got one of their signature drink - the mango coconut fresca, which surpisingly complemented my bowl very well!

    Poke Bowl - Regular (2 Proteins)

    The poke tasted much better than the other poke place I've been to, and the staff was very friendly. My only complaint was the portion size. I ordered a medium bowl, but it felt too small for what I'd expect from a medium.

    Decided to check out the newish pokeworks that opened up near me. It is located right next to the also newish paris baguette. Location is easy to find and easy to get to. The parking lot is pretty busy, likely due to the gym, as well as other restaurants located in the same shopping center. The service was good, nothing out of this world but nice enough. I ordered 2 bowls. There are a good amount of different proteins, including chicken and tofu, as well as good amount of toppings that are included in the price. Scoops and toppings were well portioned, each bowl was about $15 which I felt was fair. Overall a good experience and will come back here again.

    Dinner served.

    Esteban did a great job. This was my first time here. Everything looks fresh. I will be coming back soon.

    I genuinely dislike this location. It's almost always completely empty. The staff is usually kind and helpful, but the place feels dull and neglected. The drink machine is often broken, there are sometimes flies, and overall it feels like a cheap Yoshinoya knockoff. Portions are inconsistent too--it really depends on how generous the worker feels that day, which shouldn't be a thing. What's more confusing is that this place seems like it should be doing well, but it just isn't. It feels like someone thought they could buy success, slap a concept together, and let it run on autopilot. There's something honorable about food coming from people with real roots--Hawaii, Japan, the fish industry--people who actually care and are present. That's missing here. I never see an owner, never see leadership, never see anyone really trying. Things aren't fixed, there's no energy, no vision. It feels lazy and uninspired. If I owned this place, I'd be there every day--welcoming people, fixing what's broken, dialing in the menu, actually representing island food with pride instead of serving cookie-cutter bowls. Right now it feels like someone is just collecting money from a distance, and it's honestly embarrassing. This isn't about the staff--it never is. When a place feels this lifeless, it's always ownership and management. Until that changes, this spot just feels like a placeholder, waiting for something better to move in.

    Taste is fine but the potion is obviously smaller than the other Pokeworks locations. A medium bowl is like a small bowl.

    Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

    We visited Honu Hawaiian BBQ around 7:40 pm on a weekend. There's parking throughout the plaza, but…read moreit was packed when we arrived and we had to drive around a little before finding an open spot. This is a small food-court-style spot. You order at the counter, and if you walk farther inside, there's a shared seating area with tables for the different restaurants in the plaza. We found a spot to sit while we waited, and they gave us a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready. It took less than 10 minutes, so it was a super quick and easy meal. I ordered the Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate with a side of Chicken Katsu and it was SO good. The shrimp was incredibly crispy and packed with garlic butter flavor. The katsu and macaroni salad were great as well. It was simple, but everything about it hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed Honu Hawaiian BBQ. The food came out quickly, the plate was delicious, and it was such an easy casual meal. I'll definitely be back!

We've…read morebeen plenty of times and we'd get the short ribs and the teriyaki chicken or beef ribs depending on what I'm craving. Onto our food -- the chicken was lacking flavor, I'd rather go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ which has way more flavor. The salad changed from shredded cabbage to mixed greens. The beef short ribs are much thinner and no longer pre-cut. The teriyaki sauce is worse too - thick sauce, vinegar/sour flavor -- not sure if it's gone bad but definitely not the thin teriyaki flavor sauce they used to have. I cannot comment on the beef ribs as we did not order it but it seems everything went downhill and I would not recommend this place anymore. The clerk that assisted us was nice and friendly so +1 star.

Ordered the kalbi BBQ plate with rice and mac salad, plus an extra mac because I usually like 2 mac + 1 rice. The mac salad was easily a 1/10--basically mayo and noodles with no salt, vinegar, umami, or real flavor. Definitely not how Hawaiian mac salad should taste, and I was even more annoyed that I paid for extra. The kalbi was decent but got way too fatty as I ate. I was happy they topped it with green onions (flavor was good) 7/10. They also didn't have a teriyaki/soy glaze or house brown sauce, which was disappointing. I tried the katsu sauce instead and that was easily a 9/10. Customer service was decent. Overall, not terrible, but not necessarily great either. I wouldn't drive out of my way or necessarily recommend it.
