Hawaiian Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“My favorite place to get Chinese food. I’ve tried a lot of spots in Richmond and this place is by far my favorite. The food is freshly made and you can taste the quality of their ingredients. My go to is beef and broccoli with fried rice. I’m from the East Coast and Chinese food out there tastes way different than over here (and better in my opinion). Frannie’s is the closest I’ve gotten to back home <3 So good. My partner loves their Mongolian beef. The staff is friendly and it’s not a long wait. I HIGHLY recommend you try them out!“

“TL:DR -
I'm definitely going to go back 😀

We tried #18 (Loco Moco) and #1 (Hawaiian BBQ Mix).

Gravy (way) too salty. I'd ask for half as much.
My partner got an extra side, since the BBQ Mix was a dry rub.

Order at the counter ‼️

I had multiple issues with the touchscreen menu 💢 and then finally had to order at the counter anyway.“

“Food was delicious, staff was amazing and ambiance was beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food here is absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, fresh, interesting. The sushi burritos are great - but the rolls are really special, particularly the Toro Roll. And the beef potsticker are excellent! So thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“Excellent food , as good as any Hawaiian BBQ“

“My favorite place to get poké in the city! If you get a large, the portion is a great value for the money.

Tip:
I always opt for the salmon (the other fish aren’t as good) and ask for light sauce (otherwise they tend to drench it in way too much sauce.)“

“Dear beautifully lady at the counter: I love you. Not just because you are beautiful...but because you make sure they don't skimp on the extra Mac salad“

“Hi City Poke nails that true island flavor! The owner is from Hawaii and brings all the aloha with him — super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about sharing good food.

The poke itself? So ono. Fresh, flavorful, and totally legit. You’ll find classic Hawaiian-style fish alongside “mainland” toppings — because, as the owner said, “you gotta give the city what it wants.” But don’t worry, purists — the foundation is all Hawaii.

It’s quick, delicious, and feels like a little taste of home“

“The food in here is very good, nothing to complain about that. I’m a recurring client
But I believe the receptionist should have lil help specially on weekends it gets very crowded and he is doing everything by himself
About the reception area I couldn’t help by noticing how dirty it is..
Maybe a extra help for him would really help 🙂“

“This is basically right across the street from the Trader Joe’s on university. I admittedly don’t eat ramen often so I don’t have much to compare it to, so this is genuinely some of the best noodle-soup-dish I’ve ever head. The broth is rich but not heavy, the ramen noodles are thin and firm, and the toppings are also excellently seasoned.

This also seems to be more fusion-based so there’s a lot of Hawaiian and some Korean options too. They have rice plates too.

The portions are enormous. I always either take half of my dish home for the next day or walk out fighting for my life because of how full I am, which I can’t say for most Berkeley spots. I would say the prices are on par with Bay Area prices, but the portions are generous. The bowl is basically the size of your head, and the rice plates looks more like a party platter.

Service was fast and the servers are friendly. I like the decor. Highly recommend this place!“

“Incredible! The katsu chicken and crispy shrimp were still piping hot and insanely crispy after being delivered. Mac Salad and Spam Musubi also super flavourful not to mention the portion sizes. Delicious food and awesome bang for your buck“

“Got the chicken katsu dish. Katsu is very crisp, use thigh meat, sauce is good, habanero sauce is killer, some pieces of katsu mostly breading with how thin the meat got but a large portion and so I do not feel skimped on meat overall. Steamed cabbage and broccoli provided give a nice break to the grease. Mac is on par with l&l. Would eat here again“

“Food was fresh! Service was great. The tables were clean!“

“I got some protein or less carb version of a plate if I remember correctly.. anyhow I didn't expect my dinner to be completely devoid of any carbs. This led to a quite salty dinner which unfortunately not as enjoyable as it could have been. Otherwise pretty solid as far as Hawaiian BBQ goes.“

“Man it was good, but how can you be a Hawaiian BBQ place without a LOCO MOCO on the menu?! That needs to get added immediately“

“Ono Hawaiian BBQ in Oakland.

I used to come here all the time when they first opened in 2017.

Their portions are big enough to feed 2 people, and I always grab the sauces to go.

Their Hawaiian BBQ Chicken plate is just as delicious as I remembered. I used to always get the Chicken Katsu as well.

Would come back if I'm in the area.“

“Hard working servers with delicious food. Two thumbs up.“

“Amazing spot! The menu was very clear about dietary restrictions, and the fact that it’s an entirely gluten free establishment made me feel very safe in ordering. Portions for the bowls were fantastic (yay leftovers for lunch the next day!), and shout out to the many dressing/sauce options available. Finding gluten free teriyaki sauce AND vegan ranch to dip their delicious cauliflower wings? A major win!
Only caveat to note is the cookie dough potion is quite small for the price, but I do love to support Sweet Loren’s when I can.
Overall, so happy to have found this spot, and will definitely be ordering from here when I’m visiting Oakland again!

Dietary restrictions: The entire kitchen is dedicated gluten free, and all their menu items clearly state dietary restriction matches. There are many vegan options to accommodate as well!“

“My first time at this location, and I see that it has low ratings because of the service, but luckily it's looks like I avoided the problem employee.Pros: Huge portions, piping hot, ready quicklyCons: Nothing special taste wiseIf you're really hungry, eat here.“

“Food is great, staff is even better, and the interior of the place is absolutely magical. Drinks are amazing, definitely a must visit for any cocktail historians as the Mai Tai was invented here! (Albeit in their old location on San Pablo which has since been demolished) Overall amazing, and absolutely will come again!“

“Finding an excellent Chinese food place has always been very difficult for me out here , but not these guys you can tell the food is curated with passion and love. Everyone from the girl who attended to the cooks did an amazing job, thanks for feeding me and these big portions, so delicious. God bless“

“Great people, fresh ingridients, authentic taste. Love it!!“

“Honana Hawaiian Food is simply the BEST!
I've tried many Hawaiian places, but none compare. Their chicken katsu is my absolute favorite - crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly too.
Even though I don't live in Pinole, I'll gladly make the drive for their amazing food. It's always worth it!“

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“Wonderful experience while eating here when we visited our son!“

“Consistently delicious poke! Not fancy, but always fresh and really fairly priced. I love getting the build-your-own poke bowl, plenty of sauce and flavor without being overwhelming. The spam musubis are all great too (I’ve tried the classic, fried, and spicy). It’s family-owned and operated, which makes me even happier to support them. Perfect for takeout, though I’ll sometimes dine in for lunch (just note there isn’t a ton of seating).“
