Ohana Superette — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Traditional, delicious, and easily the best Poke in Silver Lake.

A new concept of Eric Park, the owner of Bodega Park, comes a revamp of the classic Hawaiian poke spot, Ohana Superette. I was very excited to see Superette was back in business and settled in under the leadership of the Bodega Park family, but I was curious as to how it would hold up to other traditional Hawaiian poke spots in LA. Truthfully, some of the best Hawaiian poke I’ve had was from pop-ups (shoutout Unreal Poke), very few brick and mortar spots exist for poke. I went a few days after the soft opening and it was a truly incredible experience!

Ohana Superette knocks it out of the park in EVERY way. Even from moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a very Bodega Park feeling spot, but with a kind of tropical twist and simplicity that is easy to settle into. It’s a lovely space, and like Bodega, you order at the counter.

The menu is specific, yet has a ton of variety of flavors and options. I was SHOCKED at the amount of gluten free options compared to Bodega Park, there are so many great choices for the gluten sensitive folks (Bodega plz plz get some gluten free buns). I ordered the spicy tuna bowl with the kimchi cucumber (every poke order comes with a banchan), an interesting Korean flare you can add to the poke. The selection of drinks is limited, but I got the Haleiwa Iced Coffee and it went SO well with the bowl, cooling down the spice with every sip. I also ordered a spam musubi, which was easily one of the best musubi’s I’ve ever had—this place didn’t really miss.

The service was excellent and while our food didn’t come out super quick (given that Poke is normally quite fast), they seem to still be getting comfortable in the space. All of the servers were super kind and attentive.

Ohana Superette is exactly what you want out of a neighborhood Poke spot. Traditional flavors with a kick of Korean flare, specialized menu items that work great together, and hearty bowls that fill you up before you leave to enjoy the summer day. We truly lucked out with this one. And if you’re not feeling the fish, then jump back over to Bodega Park,...

So this is the current poke that I hold up others to (for quick lunch purposes). This place was a short walk (30 mins, which may seem long for Angelinos) from my AirBnB but I was recommended it. On reaching the location (my google maps was potentially a little wrong, I’ll fix it), I walked in and checked out the menu.

Plenty of different combinations were on offer and I wanted to get the chili garlic shrimp on brown sushi rice. I was umming and erring over the kimchi cucumbers or the wakame salad to go with it and the server offered me a half portion of each. I also got masago, little fish eggs, in addition to the standard toppings of scallion, rice seasoning and wasabi peas. Grabbing a soda as well, she gave me my number and I grabbed a table.

It came quickly and I dug in, it’s not a small portion (I had a Kine which I guess is a medium) and the flavours were really fresh and bright. The shrimp were well cooked and crunchy and the toppings I had were all delicious. The masago added a little something extra that I was very happy about.

About $15 including drink and a tip for eating in....

Parking can sometimes be hard to find depending on the time. I always get a poke bowl with half brown rice, half kale, the shrimp and spicy tuna, cucumbers and seaweed salad. It is so yummy especially if you are trying to eat on the healthier side. They also have aqua frescas that are very refreshing. I also find out that they have delivery if you are local. I might have to try that out one day when I'm too...
