Rutts Hawaiian Cafe & Catering

Smaller mom and pop type restaurant, the food and service was great!

Not like I thought??

Craving a little Hawaiian food. Split a spam musubi with mom. Made to order, spam and rice were hot. I ordered three meat combo platters. Kalua pig, kal bi and Teri beef. Mac salad and rice were my side choices. Everything had good flavor. Wasn't disappointed.
Mom ordered coconut shrimp and tonkatsu. Both were fired. On the dry side. Same sides as mine. This wasn't so good. Pork was cut very thin, so it dried out when fried. The shrimp had some flavor but dry as well.
I'd say give them a try. Maybe taper your expectations a little.
Clean and nice service.
It was raining a little bit. They do have a little patio seating area.

This is my go to place for Fried Saimin. They have all sorts of Hawaiian food

Rutt's might be new to the area because this place has been around since 1976! A well pit together dining area awaits you in the patio. Great music. Friendly staff. Exceptional food. The katus was juicy and had a flavorful crust. The kalbi had a unique marinade that is worth coming in for. The macaroni salad was safe and nkt as bold as you can find other places. Clean restrooms and kid friendly. Not much pakring, so order take out once in a while!

Ordered 76 individual Thanksgiving plates for pick up. Order was ready on time and was helped to load them to my car. Lunch was a hit, thanks Rutt's!

Excellent food

This is a new restaurant in our neighborhood and they serve our families two favorite types of food. Hawaiian and Mediterranean and they do both very well!

After ordering they gave me a free sample, which was literally a meal all its own, to nibble on while I waited for my order.

I'm incredibly impressed with this new hole in the wall shop.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Tasteless

Came with my son. A staple when I lived on the west side in Venice. First time at this location. Got the katsu/shrimp combo. ?. Chicken was dry. Rice was old. Bland with no flavor. My son got French toast plate. He said it didn’t have any flavor other than syrup. I’ll give it another go in the future maybe but the food came out too fast which is not a great sign for fresh food. Service was odd.. she handed me the POS to do myself? It was was odd. Thinking back the experience was uncomfortable with our server.

I love Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe. The staff is so nice...But I come for the foooood! Especially the MEATS! This is the best BBQ, Hawaiian or otherwise, for the BEST prices and the biggest portion. I love them. P.S., they also do great takeout for the same big-portion-for-small-price-PLUS-sauce experience!
