Hawaiian Restaurants near Colma, CA

“They're $7 grilled fish deal is incredible. Large portions check, healthy food with plenty of vegetables in the salad check, very nice people that work there. The Sloat location has a woman running the show that goes above and beyond and makes it a great experience. What a deal!“

“Found this little shop tucked in between two larger chains on a trip recently, and I'm glad I went! When I arrived around 12:30, there was no wait to order. The menu is simple, with a great selection of flavor combinations and options to choose from. I highly recommend the kelp noodle for its extraordinarily *Great Crunchy Texture* and the Seaweed Salad! The shop did not mess around and served up large portions of everything I asked for: the lid was clinging onto the container for dear life! That was just fine by me, as it didn't last long. I would have gotten pictures, but the food was so inviting. *Y'all* This place smelled SOOO GOOD. The fellow at the counter was super friendly, responded to questions, and chatted awhile about how my trip was going. Great atmosphere, pricing, and variety! I am looking forward to the next time I can return to Colma to try another combination!Parking: Free parking, but the lot is the size of a closet and passes cars about the same... right next to a Starbucks...“

“My husband and I were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant that I would describe as a "Partial arcade/Hawaiian gastropub," if you will. We found out about this place on Check Please, and it seemed strange from the episode, but I'm glad we gave it a shot. I really love the Hawaiian-influenced menu of this place! I got the Chicken Katsu Curry, which I loved everything about - the chicken was good quality and juicy, it was crispy, the curry sauce was flavorful and with a good kick, nothing crazy or too mild, and the rice was also fantastic - it came in this fun bowl shape, like they filled up a bowl to the brim with rice, and just flipped it over. However, the best part about the rice was that it was CRISPY on the sides! There was also a very happy sunny-side up egg on top, very nice touch. Huge wow - never had Chicken Katsu Curry like that before, and it was delicious. My husband and I shared the Spam Masubi, in which the spam was House made! It was good - on the smaller side compared to regular Hawaiian joints, but definitely gourmet, and definitely delicious. Fun to try. My husband ordered the Loco Moco for his entree, and he also really loved his dish. His rice with the dish was ALSO crispy, huge win. I don't have many vegan or vegetarian friends, but if I did, I'd probably suggest this place as an option. They have vegan/vegetarian options for almost anything - including the spam masubi, burger, banh mi, loco moco - pretty innovative IMO. It almost made me want to explore the options for myself! I forgot to write about the cool pinball machines, but honestly, I don't really play, and forgot they were there lol. But they do have Free Play Thursdays, which sounds pretty fun for those who do love to play. The ambiance of the restaurant is cute in that it has a retro feel with the old signs, pinball machines, decor and bar seating. One thing that really does bug me, which is why I don't give it 5 stars, is the family UN-friendliness it has. They are only open 5 days a week, and only 2 of those days are family friendly, meaning 18+ up on Thu/Fri/Sat. This is a huge bummer for my husband and I, who love bringing our daughter to restaurants any day of the week. We are well versed with the SF rules that is perfectly OK to bring your child of any age to any establishment that serves alcohol as long as there is food served. I guess this restaurant gets away with it because they technically DO allow children at their restaurant on CERTAIN days of the week. This is just frustrating for us families. I did read commentary from the restaurant management saying that it hurt their business that kids were allowed on weeknights - alright fine, it is what it is. But I will say that we do feel slightly discriminated against for not being able to dine on whatever day we please. Now we can only come here on Wednesdays and Sundays, wouldn't you be cranky too if you could only come here on Wednesdays and Sundays? Overall, I do really love this restaurant. I am looking forward to returning in the very near future, on Wednesdays and Sundays.“

“If you're a foodie like me, you'll love this place! I highly recommend island chicken wings, spam fries, and my favorite, from the oven and straight to our table, served piping hot, Bibinka Cornbread. Delicious! I had to order twice. Don't miss out on their signature dish, the chicken loco moco, braised short ribs over rice, sisig fried rice, and seafood pan roast. We are frequent travelers to the Island, so we know a little about the dishes we tried. With that said, the combo loco moco stole the show for us. The best part of our meal besides the food, of course, was that it came in hot and we got our meal all at the same time. All the little things go a long way in my book. Of course, we ordered their classic go-to, fried bananas served with ube ice cream for dessert. It tasted like when our Lola (grandmother) used to cook for us growing up. It felt like home. Their service was top-notch considering the time we came, which was almost closing time. Kudos to Carmen! She was attentive and polite. We can't wait to come back. Sorry, we did not take photos; you must take my word or visit Hula Hoops.“

“Update - 5/5 stars. Owner reached out and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the meals this time - the level of care and service was unprecedented. This time we got the deluxe box with fish in the box yuzu truffle version. The quality of the fish was even better than last time - all of the pieces tasted fresh. Rice was perfectly seasoned and we very much enjoyed the mix of elements in the yuzu truffle box. Thank you Jerry, we will definitely be recommending to friends!“

“We made a reservation which cost $10 but we didn't make it in time so we missed our reservation but we were still able to be seated quickly. They were just two of us. On a Friday night..The vegan ramen was delicious and the rice pudding was as well.“

“Love this little mom and pop shop! My son runs in and is so happy when he knows we are coming here. The owners are lovely, friendly and very hospitable. The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious no matter what you order! Highly recommended!“

“I have been going to Moki’s for over a decade and could not recommend it more. Their food is delicious, and there is something for everyone (good vegetarian food too). In addition, the service is quick and amazing. My personal favorites are the avocado rolls and French fries.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“Favorite poke place in town. Always have to eat here when I visit Burlingame. Fish is fresh and all the sauces, toppings and seasonings are great mixed together. Staff is friendly and services is great- always quick and easy. Would recommend and will definitely be going back soon.“

“Had Unco Frank's catered a couple times and each experience has been great. The food is well packaged and delivery service is great. The food is immaculate too, super delicious and easy for an entire group to split up. I particularly love the fried rice because I am a sucker for spam ha! Would recommend.“

“Ordered poke from DoorDash and was very impressed by the quantity and the quality. A medium bowl was plenty (about $17 on DoorDash), size wise. I liked how I could add my 3 favorite things in - seaweed salad, imitation crab salad, and salmon. They even have unagi slices as an option! Sauces were good and wasn't too dry or too soaked. Toppings were good as well.“

“Food: 4.3/5 best bang for your buck here! i can tell that this hole in the wall is a place where lots of blue collar workers come in and out of to pick up a quick and filling lunch for a great price. we got the Loco Moco and the Teriyaki Mixed Plate Lunch and they both hit the spot. the char on the Teriyaki Mixed Plate was delicious and plentiful. the loco moco was good but the gravy tends to make the entire plate soggy so if they had dividers in their to go containers that would be ideal. both plates were hefty big boys that were able to feed us for two meals because we couldn't finish it on the first round. the worker was nice enough to move the table and let me see their drink selection because he saw I was leaning and squinting towards them to read the labels haha. overall, a great meal for a great price in SF(coming from a broke college student)“

“The chili fried chicken was awesome, and the mochi cake was mind-blowing! The people were all so nice, and it was fun chatting with the other people there. The general store is so fun to shop at, and we totally stocked up on goodies! Can't wait to go back for shave ice as it was too cold for it when we went. FYI, portions are huge, we had gone for late breakfast and had more than enough for dinner!!!!“

“Been coming here for years and this place is still the best Hawaiian food in the area. You get the best bang for your buck here. Prices have gone up which is to be expected but the portions have never changed. You still get a whole lotta food that can feed you for more than one meal. Recently, I ordered the chicken Katsu regular plate with all mac salad, we had rice at home. This plate fed myself, my 3 daughters n there was still some left to pack for the hubby's lunch for work the next day. I love that the chicken isn't too beaten, it's still very meaty and not flat at all. Fam favorite for sure. Party trays are amazing and a good deal as well. Definitely coming back. I hope this place never leaves. It is a mom & pop shop and they do only take cash so be prepared. If you're ordering for party trays, be ready to pay in full prior to pick up. But it's definitely worth it.“

“I was pleasantly surprised when this place popped up on my TGTG app and I decided to give it a try. Haven't had any poke ever since coming back from Oahu 2 years ago. It was a big box of fresh proteins when a variety of fish and shrimp. The staff was very friendly and it was very easy for me to find a parking spot. Will come back!“

“Friendly staff. Huge portions that taste terrific. You can ask for less rice and more macaroni salad on the plate lunches. Have bought take out plates of the Chicken Katsu and each one served 2-3 people. Love the Pork Lau Lau & the kahlua pork, offered with or without cabbage. The only thing they lack is island deserts. They have boxes of imported cookies.“

“Came here for a late lunch and ordered thr katsu bowl ($8.95+tax) and the bbq traditional combo ($15.45+tax) - pretty good value for the price! The katsu was fried quite well for a fast food place - crispy outside, and not too dry inside. The sauce that came with it was tasty as well. The bbq combo had one kalbi rib, 3 pieces of bbq chicken and several large slices of thin beef- everything was seasoned thoroughly. The thin beef was a little dry, but still tasted pretty decent. There was rice and macaroni salad and some lettuce on the side as well. This is a great meatlover’s dish!Parking: Parking lot is rly busy due to the In and Out right across from it… traffic from there can back up to this parking lot“

“Really tasty dishes and quality food. Staff is friendly as well. The restaurant had a rough patch where food was not as fresh and portions were small. It's been a few years now since they have been at this location and have turned things around. try them out!“

“I like this place. Basic, no frills, Hawaiian BBQ. My favorite is the Shrimp Noodle soup. Large bowl of veggies' shrimp and super hot broth. Noodles on the side in the to go orders. Such nice noodles. Cooked perfectly so they finish cooking when you add them to the hot broth. Highly recommended. All of the other Hawaiian BBQ dishes also on the menu. Not much on atmosphere though.“

“This restaurant is located in the Mission Plaza Shopping Center. There's plenty of parking. They share the parking lot with Lucky's, Jollibee, Red Ribbon Bakery, Iguana Taqueria, and Starbucks. When my wife and I entered this restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly cashier. We ordered the mixed BBQ combo plate, musubi trio, BBQ chicken plate, and the Kuala pork with cabbage. The mixed bbq combo plate consisted of bbq beef ribs, bbq chicken , bbq beef. The meats were cooked to perfection. They were all tender. They trimmed off the fat , which we really appreciated. The musubi trio consisted of spam, BBQ chicken, and chicken katsu. They were all flavorful. The Kuala pork with cabbage was kind of on a little dry side. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. The cashier told us that the orders would be ready in 15 minutes and they only took about 12 minutes. They were generous with the portions and the prices were reasonable. The food was still hot when we got home. We will definitely be back to try their Loco Moco, healthy plates, and Saimin.“

“Pa'ina over in Japantown SF is a chill spot for some Hawaiian grub on a Saturday night. Surprisingly, it's not buzzing with noise - gives off a pretty relaxed vibe. And guess what? You can book your table online, making life easier.Now, the prices? Pretty darn good for the amount of food they serve up. You won't be draining your wallet here. What's cool is that most folks prefer hanging at the bar instead of the regular tables, adding a sociable touch.But here's the thing - they hit you with a 20% service charge instead of the usual 18%. Kinda sly move considering the otherwise reasonable food prices. It might bug you a bit.Let's talk grub. The musubi is a winner, real Hawaiian vibes. The kimchi noodle and garlic noodle dishes? Fusion done right. And the chicken wings plus MochiKo chicken? Tasty options that fit the bill.All in all, Pa'ina serves up a laid-back Hawaiian feast in Japantown SF. Perfect if you're into that chill atmosphere, online reservations, and not burning a hole in your pocket. Just keep an eye on that service charge - it's the only twist in this tropical tale.ps. Would give this place a 5 stars if not for the 20% - I think at least they should've informed us“

“Suki you made our day!! Best hostess ever and gave so much attention to my fue baby!! Came back for the second time and the food was just as amazing! I drove 2hr. for the huevos rancheros and my bf loved the smash burger (the bite I had was delicious). Would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful environment w an even better menu!!“

“Tried the one inside The Oracle, recommended by a nice lady sitting in front of us (who said she looks forward to it every game and fish is fresh every day). Oooooh definitely a must! The ladies at the booth were nice. Service was fast and the food was delicious! Definitely fresh and simple but tasty!I wish there was a bit more greens that went with the generous amount of fish.“

“If you want a quick and easy poke bowl, Hi City is definitely a good stop to come by. It's in the financial district, so a lot of workers come here during lunch hours.They have preset bowls on their menu, or you can just create your own. I ended up getting their preset bulgogi bowl as well as the salmon poke bowl which I ended up building. They have lots of different marinades for their salmon and tuna proteins, so it's nice to see those options. I will say the bulgogi is quite salty from the sauce, so you definitely need to eat it with more rice to dilute the flavor if you get it. Other than that, it's a pretty simple poke bowl shop. Nothing really out of the ordinary, but it's still good.“

“Just tried out this poke spot hidden away in an indoor market, and it was a real find! Went with the salmon and spicy tuna, both super fresh and tasty. The sauce was spot-on, not too heavy. I got the spicy mayo sauce and sweet chili. Portions were just right, too.“

“Delicious. Got a large bowl and had to power through to finish it. I really like the marinated salmon but it has ALOT of onions. When my first scoop was mainly onion the guy making the bowl was very nice about re-scooping. Kind service. Good tasting food. Highly recommend. Best for to go.“

“I think everyone should give this a place a try when on the fly. There plates are filling to the stomach, fresh, full of different good bold flavors, and decently filled up. It was worth the price. And its served immediately. You can pretty much walk have your plate filled with your choices then pay for it then take your full plate and walk out.“

“Fill out one of these order forms. You have a choice of three scoops $13.99 or five scoops $16.99 of protein. Everything else is unlimited. In my five days of stay in San Francisco, I came here twice. Portion is good. There is five minute parking in front of the business. My one gripe is that food is served out of hard plastic .“

“Stupendous dinner! We were looking for a place close to the tile staircase and this place popped up. It looked like it had something all 4 of is would like, and it did not disappoint! The service was great and the food tasted amazing! All 4 of us give 5*“

“Mele Kalikimaka. This is a dumpster fire of a dive bar that probably hasn't been renovated since the first edition of that Bing Crosby Christmas album came out in 1945. That being said, that's why I love it. Sunny makes a strong drink, keeps the late night chaos down to an acceptable level, all while making me contemplate why I came in here? Free pool, sometimes food, and a guaranteed travel back through time to when bars were nothing more than bars.“

“One of the best Hawaiian BBQ in town. They have so many options and good portion sizes. Even non bbq items like burgers, spam musubi, potstickers etc... also the katsu chicken is incredible! If you go and say “Wesley” recommended this place! Maybe they give you a little bigger piece of meat! They work really hard to please the customer so please show your appreciation as well.“

“Good fish. Good sauce. Only feedback is that if we do half rice have salad, it'd be cool if they were half and half rather than salad under hot rice. We ordered delivery and it was solid. Will order light mayo on musubi next time as well.“

“While there's an L&L much closer to me here in Daly City, I find myself going to this particular branch the most. The dining area itself is spacious, and it's almost always empty when I arrive as I usually eat lunch early.My usual is the Mini BBQ Chicken Plate, complete with the requisite chicken, macaroni salad, and white rice (short grain sticky, of course!). A mini plate is oftentimes more than enough for me, so much so that I forego dinner in the evening.This L&L is cash-only, so be sure to hit the ATM on your way here. I think there's an ATM, but save yourself the additional service fee by going to your bank's first.“
