"Eating raw fish at the beach is perhaps a bit macabre for some, but for us, it’s just another opportunity to order lunch from Ali’i Fish Company. This order-at-the-counter cafe in El Segundo serves incredible poke. From spicy ahi to ponzu-soaked salmon, the menu here is on par with anything you’d get in Hawai’i. This makes sense—the owner used to be a buyer at the Honolulu Fish Auction, so all the seafood they serve is shipped in from the islands." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
"This pint-sized poke counter in El Segundo, with a second location in Torrance, understands a fundamental truth: Quality fish is king (they source theirs from the Honolulu Fish Auction). From succulent cubes of ginger soy ahi to a slightly wasabi-y ponzu salmon, everything here tastes exactly like something you’d get from a Foodland poke counter in Hawai’i, which is the highest honor. If it's your first time, try their loaded surf and turf bowl. It comes with your choice of poke flavor and a generous serving of kalua pork over perfectly cooked sticky rice.

"This pint-sized poke counter in El Segundo, with a second location in Torrance, understands a fundamental truth: Quality fish is king (they source their tuna from the Honolulu Fish Auction). From succulent cubes of ginger soy ahi to a slightly wasabi-y ponzu salmon, the poke here tastes like what you’d get from a Foodland poke counter in Hawai’i (no small compliment).

"Few of this Hawaiian restaurant’s competitors can claim they source their fish straight from the Honolulu fish auction. On top of that, the team behind Ali’i Fish Company dishes up an impressive ahi burger, nostalgic fish nuggets, and a recently added Lomi salmon (available at the Torrance location only)." - Matthew Kang
