Hawaiian Restaurants near Millbrae, CA

“I usually get the kalbi and chicken katsu half and half, and it is consistently solid every time. The portions are filling, the kalbi is flavorful, and the katsu is crispy and reliable. It is one of those comfort meals where I know exactly what to expect.

Parking can be somewhat difficult since the lot is shared with In-N-Out, which gets busy quickly, especially during peak hours. I almost always order ahead, so the wait time is reasonable and pickup is smooth.

The ambiance is just okay. It is casual and functional, nothing special. The cashiers are fine, not overly friendly but not rude, and service is straightforward.

I keep coming back because it is consistent, filling, and a good value for the price. It is not a destination spot, but it is a dependable go-to when I am craving kalbi, katsu, or classic Hawaiian comfort food.“

“Best food and service in town! A must try!“

“1st time at Noelani's and certainly won't be last time! Excellent Mai Tai, Mahi Mahi tacos and the ice cream cake, oreo base with chocolate sauce and macadamia nuts and toasted coconut was wonderful. I ate the entire plate of hurricane fries myself. They were addictive! My dog and I chilled out on a sofa basking in the sun talking to owner Noelani. Thank you Noelani for bringing the feel, warmth, and food of Hawaii to San Carlos- the SF Bay area! Mahalo! Karen & Lucca Spaghetti“

“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ordered the mini bbq chicken plate. Everything is to-go, since there's no indoor seating. The staff does a good job of helping you quickly and remembering who ordered what. Food was simple, but very tasty. If I lived closer by, I'm sure it would be in my rotation of comfort food.“

“Walked in not expecting much but was greeted lovingly by a sweet family running shop by themselves. They seemed delighted that we were eating In and the small homey setting really felt like they inviting us to sit at their table. The spam masubi was incredible, served fresh, with a sweet sauce, and a little touch of pork sung in there made all the difference. I got the wagyu beef with egg meal. It also came with that signature sauce and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. As we left, packing up the leftovers off the heaping plates of food, the father ran out to give us some extra sauce and make sure we didn’t leave without knowing how much we were appreciated. The incredible food and the family’s hospitality truly made it feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with my grandparents and I would love to come back and support them more!“

“Mr Nano and beautiful wife and family awesome crew awesome desserts awesome food what more can I say it reminded us of being back home in Hawaii the small shop with big personality and big plates of food just like back home thank you Mr Nano to you and your Ohana for receiving us and for having such a good hospitality keep up the good work and keep up the Beautiful Smiles much blessing to you and yours😊❤️“

“Ohana is always a good place to eat. Good food, good value for the buck 👌, staff are friendly. We love their Loco Moco, Spam Musubi, Shrimp butterfly, Seafood combo, Salmon with steam veggies etc...

One time I lefty back pack there by accident. I called their store. The female staff remembers me and she said you can come and pick up your bag anytime.“

“Miss Subi is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with a perfect balance of taste and quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and truly enhance the overall experience. If you’re looking for amazing food and great vibes, Miss Subi is definitely a must-visit!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“Our regular L&L. When we are too lazy to cook, we would ordered the following: mini Bbq chicken or a mini chicken Katsu or mini garlic Basa( yummy) or Spam musubi. These are our favorite. You can’t go wrong with these items. I also order party trays for potluck Christmas luncheon.“

“This is the first review of 2025. I accidently ordered off the uber app from a whim. Until I read the reviews meanwhile my meal was in route. I think they changed the cook yall. Chicken was cooked well rice as well. Mac needs its home recipe for sure. Was the chicken hot? No it was warm. But I am very impressed by the improvement. I won't be ordering again though. 😂😂😂😂“

“Good food 非常好吃！态度亲切，我喜欢这里。非常非常值得推荐“

“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.“

“Amazing fresh food! Huge portions! Chicken katsu & misubi are my go-2 😋 support our local businesses!“

“Really solidly good Hawaiian food. I had family visiting from France who wanted to try Hawaiian food and they loved it! Especially high praise coming from Parisians used to amazing restaurants. It's a small place and nothing fancy but the food is really, really good. If you haven't been, you should definitely try it!“

“Defintely Poke'd Out after the lunch. Ordering method is broken down nicely and listed down well in the menu. It goes like Base + Poke + Mix-in + Sauce + Add-ons. I have chosen the medium sized bowl where I got 4 scoops of poke instead of mentioned 3, all the sizes get additional scoop as complementary. Chose couple of miso shrimp and spicy crab(it was spicy indeed) scoops. Tofu medley was not that great, tough to satisfy vegetarians or vegans. I felt the quantity was overwhelming for one person, small would be more than enough. Priced around $20 for the medium, it's on the expensive side, but the diverse selections make it recommendable. Note that it’s only a to-go restaurant.“

“🥰🤩💋🧡LOVE IT!!“

“Yummylicous barnone! Totally recommended 😋👍“

“Surprisingly solid poke vibe in the mall! I would say this is on par with some of my favorite poke places in the main SF city area. They have papers and pencils for you that you hand over for them to take your order.

Only drawback is that it’s in a mall food court in terms of atmosphere.“

“I have been here many times, mainly I stop by when I am in the area where I am in need of a quick bite. This spot stands out, because there are little to none Hawaiian eaterys within the area. This place is very convenient when I am here, they are located in a plaza with many parking spots that are available. This place is just like any other L&L, but they do have some items that other location might not have. Their menu consists of Hawaiian plates mini or regular size, seafood items, saimin (Noodle soups), appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, desserts and much more to choose from. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. At certain hours it can be very busy, but they cook and prep very fast where your food comes out quick. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained, professional and understanding where I had never encountered an issue during any of my visits and I simply leave satisfied. You can order for dine in, order for takeout, place an order over the phone or have it delivered to you through a food delivery app. I highly recommend this place to all Hawaiian food enthusiasts. If you are in need of a quick bite just like me, to anyone willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“Yay for Poke Bowl! They can serve into your own container so you don't generate any trash! Their portions were just fine (I got a medium size order and it filled my largest bowl so glad I did not get the largest one). The woman who made it did a very good job making sure she got everything on my list. I'm really glad they have brown rice and lots of different mix in options. I think she may have forgotten a sauce at the end after she added the Unagi, but it was still very tasty anyway so I did not mind. The atmosphere/decors was pretty flat with some of the front used for storage but the food and service were great!“

“I frequent this place because it is nearby and is one of the few places still open later at night past 9pm when I am off work. I like that there is a good balance between the ingredients, and the salmon always tastes fine. I recommend large because that is enough food for 2 meals, so you get a much better deal for a few dollars more.
It's also really nice to be able to use the paper to choose your order, that way there is no anxiety about taking too long to order or holding up a line. I've never even seen a line here, maybe because I come late night.
There's always an empty parking spot or multiple spots right in front, so it's super quick too. I think it's because of how quickly the staff makes the bowls and from how you order by writing on paper, so nobody has to wait long.
The staff always seem pretty nice, friendly, and patient.
So in my frequent times here, I've never had a bad experience.

Parking: We've always been able to park right in front when we come at night.“
