    thai tea
    Cassandra P.

    absolutely bomb poke !! they serve a very generous amount so it is 100% worth the price ($14-18). small shop with minimal seating but still enough for 4 groups of people. Service is good they're helpful and nice. i just wish the thai tea and other drinks were not bottled

    Salmon & tuna Small Poke Bowl over a base of half brown rice & half salad
    Bonnie I.

    I order the small which comes with 2 proteins & it could be enough for two meals! I love that there are so many toppings and it has been consistent & fresh each time. The one guy behind the counter works hard to make each bowl lol.

    Yikes  I think it's a fish bone found in my food, be careful! This is depressing

    Back here again, because just love this place!! Service always amazing, portions enormous for the price. Fresh food! Sadly! Lost 2 stars because I almost swallowed a sharp object found in my food, I think it might be a fish bone, so be careful and ensure to chew in small bites. Posted a pic of what I found.

    Medium Poke Bowl
    Queenie M.

    Came here for the first time: a lot of parking, minimal seating, clean store + had restrooms, and friendly staff! Ordered a medium bowl but a small bowl would have been fine since their poke bowl portions are large (good amount of protein/sauces/toppings options)! I would come back again with my friends and family when I am in the area!

    Large Poke Bowl

    This is my favorite poke place ever, and there's quite a few around here. They are generous with the scoops of fish and amount of food given. There was only one stingy worker we've encountered one time but hasn't happened recently. The food is always fresh tasting. It's our go to always for poke!

    Tiffany T.

    The portion here are huge! The quality is pretty good for the price you get. I get the medium and I can eat this once in morning and once in afternoon. Best poke in West Covina. I always come here when I'm in the area and when I'm craving poke.

    Small Bowl
    Daphne L.

    I have been to this poke place many times and each time, I am shocked by their portion sizes! I get a small bowl with Scallop and Salmon and it's enough for two meals. Their normal scoops of fish are double any other poke place that I've been to! The service here is quick and efficient, I have always been greeted by friendly staff whenever I eat here. The restaurant itself is usually pretty empty so it's easy to find a table if you choose to eat there.

    I have had The Poke Place bookmarked for a while.I finally stopped by to try it. The place is very clean, cozy and spacious. They have indoor seating. The menu includes different sizes of poke bowl; small size with two scoops of protein, medium size with three scoops of protein, and large size with four scoops of protein. They have fresh and delicious varieties of protein, toppings and sauces. We got large size with four scoops of protein with half sushi rice and half salad base. The scoops were very generous and the toppings too. The poke was fresh, very flavorful, and huge. The staff were were very nice. The service was outstanding. We really had an awesome experience at The poke place. Definitely, I will be back and it will be my go- to poke place.

    The place is located in the same plaza as haven city market west co. I ordered online and the process was easy and fast. Upon entering the place was really clean and the staff were busy making orders and were also attentive. I got the 3 scoop and the food was fresh and packed with toppings! Sauces were also mixed in and give it a good flavor! Overall this is def my new poke spot!

    Edward P.

    Music on the low side, 4 tables, serve yourself fountain drink machine, friendly staff and a whole lot of delicious fresh items to fill up your bowls. Great serving sizes and options and generous scoops. A definite keeper in the poke rotation.

    Small Bowl
    Phil L.

    Large portions no matter which size you get! That's what the Poke Place offers in terms of their Poke Bowls. You definitely get bang for your buck here. Honestly, I feel like you could probably split a bowl into two meals if you can't eat much. The service here is always friendly, and they help you immediately if there is no line. The restaurant itself is pretty clean, spacious, and with a few tables should you decide to dine in. There's plenty of choices from different fish, bowl bases, veggies, sauces, and final seasonings. Definitely give them a try if you're craving a delicious and healthier option of food.

    Audrey E.

    I would rate this 4.5. This was really fresh and the portion was pretty big for a small bowl! Tasted really good! I would come back!

    Magda N.

    They give a lot of food in a serving. Small is 14 bucks for 2 scoops, medium is 17 bucks for 3 scoops. The base is all the same amount, you get an extra scoop the more you pay. Lots of fish and topping selection. All looks good & taste fresh. They serve in to-go cardboard container. I prefer the regular bowl style but they scatter the topping more (wider area) so it looks nice. This poke place is located in the old HK plaza, now Haven food hall. Parking is ok on weekday lunch.

    Medium Bowl (three scoops of protein).

    Is the salmon farm raised or wild caught?

    No one serves wild caught salmon in a regular poke place.

    How long is the 20% going to last at the new West Covina location? I'm a regular at the Ranco location but I might make a trip out there to support the new location!

    Hi the 20% will continue through the month of August. Thank you for your support.

    Can someone post the menu?

I appreciate how they're also creative with what they had by taking their proteins and offering them via stir fried rice or stir fried in lo mien. BBQ Beef lo mien: It's a nice concept that heavily leans on your enjoyment of Chinese fast food lo mien. Assuming that is something you're into (or at least tolerate), I feel that this place does a great job of remixing their BBQ beef. The beef is of decent quality, it's not too salty, and the chewiness is reasonable for a stir fry. The garnish adds a bit more body to the plate overall. BBQ Chicken: I'm happy to report that the BBQ chicken can compete with the Hawaiian BBQ chains around the city. Good glaze, and good flavor within the glaze. Macaroni Salad: It's either of the same quality and taste as its better established compeititon, or a half step below. Bottom line is that the side is still good. Service: You order, pay, and they'll let you know when the food is ready. Very straightforward. Ambiance: Classic fast food feel. Nothing to call home about.

It's enough to feed two people, and I can easily see it being an easy favorite for customers on a strict budget. Unfortunately, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) also serves mushy and gloopy rice. When I returned home, I dumped its old-tasting rice with black marking and lines into the trashcan. It's baffling how a business can mess up rice, but I attribute its poor rice quality and preparation as an attempt to save an extra buck. I arrived at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) on Tuesday (around 7:30PM). The location had a big fan, but its interior still felt humid and stuffy. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) reminded me of a casually cleaned warehouse as its cardboard boxes laid about. Staff is terse and prompt. Staff also speaks English and Spanish. Staff appeared burnt out and fatigued. I ordered the Chicken Katsu ($11.99). It includes chicken katsu, macaroni salad, and rice. The food arrived in seven minutes. Very fast! As mentioned, the food is very large. Its portions are gigantic! The chicken katsu came thick and crisp. I enjoyed the chicken katsu's crisp outside and soft chicken. Its crust faintly tasted buttery. I also loved the macaroni salad. This macaroni salad felt clean and peppery. Tasty! Unfortunately, as mentioned, the rice tasted old and mushy. It also had many black markings among its grains. Eventually, I tossed the rice into the trash can. Concerning ambiance, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) is an ugly location. Its outside looks worn down and poorly maintained. Although its interior has clean tables, the interior felt musty and humid. No music plays; rather, one lone flat screen television played aloud. Also, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) felt gloomy with its walls' fading colors and its lingering bits of dust. Overall, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) is not awful. It serves big portions at affordable prices. The ambiance & service is barebones, but some of its food is prepared well. If on a strict budget, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (Azusa Ave) is an option. 3.4 out of 5

I was bragging to my best friend about their food because we are foodie's and we love to eat. We were excited about what we were going to eat on Thursday, March 27 '26 and we had gotten there around 5:30. They close at 7 sp we had an hour and a half to eat. We ordered about 6 dishes --Pork Sinigang, Adobong Pusit, Bihon Guisado, Garlic Rice, Plain Rice, Crispy Pata , Ube Turon. When the orders came, the rice was so little, what they said was good for 2 people is actually only good for one. We asked for ice. They said they had none. not a big deal but honestly ice is a very important thing to have. There were no condiments on the table (patis , toyo, suka) etc which is common place in Filipino eateries. Around 6:30 we were being asked to finish our meal because they were "closing". Did they forget we ordered a bunch of stuff. If they are worried about their closing time, rhen please dont accept people an hour and a half before closing as you guys kmow Filipino food is not burgers and fries . You eat w little bit of everything slowly , its a cultural thing. We were again told two more times to hurry eating as they were closing. I was so shocked i coulf barely believe this kind of treatment. As a former caterer and hotel manager, we have never kicked anyone out of any establishment when they are still eating. You shut the door, you stop taking in customers but you always let the people still eating inside finish their meal, even if you had to stay behind for a bit. Another reason i took my best friend to dine rhere is because we were both so hungry and we dont do any cooking in our homes. My best friend paid for the meal --almost $150 , we decided against leaving a tip because the service was poor. The people working in the front had a less than acceptable demeanor, rushing us out of there we couldnt even finish eating. All in all, i felt embarassed in front of my best friend who treated me to the meal, when i had done nothing but brag about this place and their food non stop. I wpuld have loved to have had a conversation wirh Ms Nova Mendoza herself in person to compliment her on the amazing food but also to tell her that the staff needed further training im hospitality, customer care, and soft skills , it is their behavior and conduct which will bring this restaurant down. Please dont chase people out when they are eating. That was so poorly done.
