Hawaiian Restaurants near Hercules, CA

“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.“

“Ordered a family meal from here for the first time. The amount of food that came in was actually quite large, enough to feed at least a 6 member family. Our family meal deal included BBQ Beef, Chicken Katsu, Chicken Curry, Rice and Macaroni Salad. My favorite was the BBQ Beef, the beef was thin but yet had a lot of grilled flavor and a lot of sauce. The Chicken Katsu was good too with it's crispy crunchy coating. The only thing that I didn't like was that it didn't come with enough dipping sauce. I think I would have also preferred to have Tonkatsu sauce. The Curry Chicken was really nothing to write home about. It was just fan fried or grilled pieces of chicken with just a tiny amount of curry sauce over it... I think the chicken would have been so much better if they really slathered the curry sauce over it like how they do with curry fish balls at the Asian cafes.

The family meal also came with a Macaroni salad side which was okay.. I think it tasted like it came from a food distributor rather than home made. They did however try to make it more house made by adding I think little pieces of tuna(?). There was some good helping of veggies too under all that protein. The broccoli and stir fried cabbage were nice and fresh and had the added benefit of some of the sauces dripping on them to make them taste less bland.

Overall, not a bad meal. I would probably choose another dish next time to try out. The food is tasty and served in generous proportions (to some extent).“

“I had an amazing experience at this Hawaiian gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and the famous "aloha" spirit. The service was impeccable—attentive but never intrusive. The food was beyond incredible; the poke was so fresh it tasted like it came straight from the ocean, and the kalua pork was tender and packed with smoky goodness. The ambiance transported us to the islands, with soft ukulele music, tiki-inspired decor, and dim lighting that created a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Hawaiian flavors!“

“I recently had the Lau Lau…it was delicious. I need another one. I’ve been coming here for about six months now. I was a bit apprehensive due to the few complaints, so when I initially went I went in person. It’s a grease spoon hole in the wall and I love it. The Chinese food is good too. Always tastes fresh. Ordered my girls fries from here too. I almost ate them all, like y’all gotta share lol. Anyways, I gave a 5 stars. That’s rare for me. Staff is serious and nice. I appreciate their mood…no bs and good food. Keep up the good work Frannies. Thank you!!“

“First time ordering it was delicious. My kids had their chicken and ube waffles they enjoyed them. Hubby had Philippine breakfast and he enjoyed it“

“great poke. taste fresh and reasonably priced. would definitely come back again“

“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!“

“This is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall place. The decor is bare bones, the place is old, but what they lack in atmosphere, they more than make up for in deliciousness.

I've been here a couple times and the food is consistently good. Always made fresh and pretty quick.

The food is fantastic and affordable. Not sure what else you'd want.“

“Just went last Week and I went in feeling stupid trying to pull off a last minute get-together for a valued staff member at my dialysis treatment center and 15-18 other staff members. I came out very educated, because not only did they have the prices, clearly indicated, on the wall, they also had the small, medium and large aluminum family/Party size pans (shown on wall) to put the combo I purchased, in. I requested, but didn't need a Manager. The Cashier was fully knowledgeable about what I was stumbling and stammering over. That took 5 minutes, including payment for the order, (with her suggestion) after telling her what I needed it for.? She requested 20 minutes to prepare and I was on my way to the venue, in less, taking altogether a half hour. ? The meat was done and It was a hit!!!! They ARE a Great solution for last minute, especially when Grocery stores and caterers ask for 2 days! Marvelous job and I chose them for a Seafood combo and Loca Moco dish 2 days later, on Saturday. ??

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection. My Grandson is a Pescatarian. The Atmosphere is better than most and it is definitely ADA compliant.

Kid-friendliness: My Granddaughter is always in there for the Chicken teriyaki Masubis“
