“Only 2 items were vegetarian. We order bothThe most I liked was vegetarian ramen (replacement of vegetables are not an option). 2nd item was vegetable tempura and for me was a bit oily. But I’ll definitely go there one more time for their Ramen.Vegetarian options: 1. vegetarian ramen (replacement of vegetables are not an option).2. vegetable tempura (little oily)“
“First of all, let me say that the service was kind and friendly. I went with my daughter, who the employees engaged with in a sweet manner from entrance to exit. It helped that we were the only customers, but for the employees to be so engaged at a slow time says something about the establishment. Now, the location is old and not the cleanest. But L&L has always been more of a grab n' go place. For the 20+ years I've been to these restaurants, from Southern to Northern California, I've rarely seen people eat in them. None of them have been very clean. We come for the generous portions, macaroni salad and luau luau pork they cook upon order.“
“Service and vibes here get 5 stars! Everyone working was super friendly and welcoming (and hilarious). It's a causal vibe bar, but was kid-friendly during dinner time. The food here is good, it's solid. They offer appetizers, bowls, and more. My favorite items were the lumpia and the bayrito! The bayrito is huge and packed full of tots and meat (I had the kalua pork). The bowls were all good looking and the portions are generous. Overall, a solid spot for bar-like food.“
“The toppings/sides are pretty limited but the quality of the fish (actually fresh, not just in the title) is excellent. I have another poke place that is very good and has great options (many different sides and lots of sauce choices) to pick, but Aloha Fresh is not that kind of place. This is where you come when you care about the quality and taste of the fish more than anything else. Which I do. It's a drive for us, but it's worth it. A couple notes: no brown rice, but they have black rice. They have non-fish options (chicken, as well as shellfish options). They have sizing options (standard is 2 scoops of fish but there is a 1 scoop option and you can add more fish paying by the pound). When you pick your fish option, they're already marinated; you do not pick a sauce to mix in with everything. They do not have dine in options (no tables at all inside or outside) but there is a bench outside.“
“First time to a Hukilau since the Palo Alto & SF restaurants closed. There's a bar at the front of thea long hallway to the dining area. Food was as good as I remember it was but the atmosphere in the dining area wasn't as good as it was at the other restaurants. I'd say the lighting made it feel like an old coffee shop“
“This is our go-to spot for Hawaiian food. Parking here could be a pain depending on the hour you go, The staff is really friendly and fast. Got the protein plate with less carbs. This is plenty of food and enough to feed 2 people. They also have different types of masubi. This is a great, affordable spot to get a quick meal if you're in the area“
“Stopped by for a later lunch on our way to the Pumpkin Patch! Love that all the toppings and sides are included in the price! The fish options are all really good. Really liked the spicy versions of the fish too! They were generous with the portions! I probably could have made it a second meal! So glad we got to try it out and will be coming back again!“
“It was my best poke lunch, everything is just top notch from the service, the atmosphere inside to the quality of the food, everything is very fresh and tasty, I will come here with my family and childrenParking: Good location with a lot of parking lot“
“Here's what I ordered. See picture. I ordered to go through the app. (It is quite detailed for example, if you forget a required item, it will not allow you to complete your order, so be thorough.)My Order consisted of a: Medium Build Your Own (3 Scoop Bowl) /// Ill finish this later. ///“
“This place hit all the attributes for an amazing quick lunch spot. The saff was friendly. Being my 1st time visiting the menu was in front of me which made it easy to make my decisions quickly. Over all very satisfying. Would definitely visit again and soon!“
“Their server looks pretty mean Everytime I go. Well, besides their facial expression, their service are ok (Great). Their poke bowl is great but you gotta try their icecream. My fav is the egg yolk ice cream, it give u a little salty taste along with the milkish ice cream.“
“My favorite Hawaiian spot in California. I get the Misubi and it never disappoints. The staff was very friendly and kind here. Me and my husband felt very welcome here. I recommend trying their food, it can satisfy many different people’s food preferences.“
“I love coming here for food after doing my full-time job for lunch or a good meal. I am now a writer on Medium.com that cover software engineering and other technology and business subject matters. It is a very solid place to get a quick bite before heading into a company board meeting or something like that. They also have a rewards program where I was accumulating a lot of points and I was able to get by with meals for almost a full month later on.They offer a lot of Japanese choices for topping and sauces and three rice base (white and brown and sushi) with four options of fish (miso, salmon primarily).They also offer a brown bag to take out as an option.“
“We came to eat at a time when there were less crowds.We ordered beef brisket ramen, barbecue beef and barbecue tripe.The ramen soup tastes really good.The fragrance is rich and not greasy,The texture of the ramen is also quite perfect.I personally think the beef brisket is a bit soft.BBQ part,I quite like their BBQ tripe,The seasoning and the taste of the tripe are quite good.However, the seasoning part of the overall barbecue,If the salt ratio is not so high,I think it’s perfect!“
“My friend and I shared a large build your own for $14. The large comes with four scoops. We got salmon x 2, tuna, and yellowtail. All four were smaller cubes of fish. The yellowtail here...WOW. Some of the best yellowtail that I've had at a poke place. The salmon and tuna were pretty average. I felt like the rice ratio was a little high compared to the fish ratio based on other places that I've been to as well. Additionally, the onions here are diced not sliced, which felt overpowering for the bowl. They have a large topping selection which were all included minus avocado (which was $1 extra). Lastly, the sauces were pretty good--I'd recommend the house shoyu.“
“I went Friday 8/17/23 and the service was great. The woman taking orders was friendly and very efficient... wow! I ordered the BBQ and Chicken & fried fish combo for abt $16 and it was cooked perfectly. Nice portions. More than I can eat in one sitting so I made two meals out of it. The place is just simple table and chairs, but serves its purpose.“
“Really nice little poke place. Worker was extremely nice and helpful in explaining whatever questions I had. $15 for 3 scoops is a really good steal compared to other places I've frequented which cost more and/or had limited topping selections for their price. Will come again if I'm ever craving poke !“
“The food was amazing! We ordered the chicken katsu and the BBQ mix. Everything was so flavorful and very generous portions. The macaroni salad was hands down one of the best I've had. If they have it, try out the pinapple cream soda.“
“Winston Churchill apparently once said something along the lines that Russia was a "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." That's kind of what I feel about this restaurant. Why does it serve a mixture of Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Korean fast food? Why is it built into the side of a Home Depot? Why are there motivational gym-style quotations and writings on the wall? Perhaps I will never know the answer to these mysteries, but nevertheless, I greatly enjoy eating here and will continue to do so.To quickly state it, yeah, it's a restaurant built into the side of a Home Depot, but there's roofing and seating (and fake grass as a floor?), which are basically perfectly functional at all times. The slightly open nature of the area actually means it doesn't get too hot - so it actually works pretty well as a restaurant.The food selection is as I mentioned, quite varied. I've had the Loco Moco, Bulgogi, Hot Dog, and Philly Cheesesteak. All of them came out very quickly, cheaply (very rare in the Bay Area!!) and were as tasty as you would expect all of these foods to be. On the other hand, you're pretty much getting what you order - no surprises (and you wouldn't really expect a surprise). Macaroni from the Hawaiian plates always goes great with the rice - and the portion sizes for any of the plates are quite large!Seems very popular among people working at or around Home Depot for their breakfast and lunch - and I can understand why! Cheap, fast, convenient, and tasty! I honestly haven't eaten like this very often since moving up from Southern California - and it's delightful that I can eat like this again. Heavily recommended if you want a cheap, fast lunch in a place that generally doesn't have many cheap, fast lunch options.“
“This junk food junkie loved my first ever bowl. And it was vegan and gluten free so I can't even believe how awesome it was. I ordered the pineapple teriyaki cauliflower bowl with no bell peppers and added mushrooms instead and absolutely everything was delicious! I ordered it served with the sesame scallion rice and I can't even believe how much I loved that rice!It was a really big portion and totally filled me up. I couldn't even finish the sweet potato salad, which was also really good. I thought I would be hungry because there was no meat in my meal but nope. Totally happy and ready for a nap. Wish my boss would let me take one LOL!I found them through GrubHub and the meal arrived nice and warm. I will definitely be ordering Lulu bowls again!“
“Spoonfish Poke is a convenient place to go to if you're on campus and want to eat poke. Most of the food I get here is tasty, though nothing special (I'm not really picky when it comes to poke), and there is some indoor and outdoor seating you can use. The only thing that would probably stop me from returning is the raise in price, as the small bowl is now almost worth as much as a regular bowl used to be. I'm not sure what caused this to happen, but because of that it would probably be easier to get it from another place if you're not in a rush and have time to travel further.“
“Came here on a rowdy night during a bar crawl. I've passed by this spot a lot on nights out downtown but it always looked crowded, loud, and a bit musty. Luckily it was emptier on the Friday that my friends and I came in. They had deals on their mango daiquiris (?) which weren't too thin but also not too strong. The staff was friendly when we ordered. There was decent space for a dance floor and the music was fine for Bay Area hip hop vibes. All in all I think it was a worthwhile bar crawl stop with space to dance and drinkable drinks but I wouldn't fight tooth and nail to wait in a line for it. Not sure if there's themed nights but it does seem to be a downtown favorite for some!“
“The food is delicious... the portions are big. For me, I have to share, I can't finish it alone. The BBQ meat is big... plus rice and macaroni or salad. The chicken katsu is also delicious...I'm satisfied here. The place is not too big but there is space for eating inside.“
“I had Hawaiian BBQ before but first time at Ono. Generally, I had a good experience and I'm open to come back.I got- A plate of Hawaiian BBQ mix (which is a mix of beef, pork and chicken). It comes with rice & macaroni salad. It's pretty good. I like the flavors of all the meat. I like pork most, then chicken then beef. I like cabbage too but I wish it has less oil.- A side of salad: I like the dressing that comes with the salad, helps balance the meal.- Young coconut: decent. You can't use the plastic spoon to scoop out the meat but if you go home and use a silver spoon, you can. It looks thick but it's surprisingly not hard. It's probably still better if it's a little bit thinner though.My friend got the plate with seafood mix which came with fried shrimps, fried white fish and chicken. I tried it and the plate I got was better.Service was good. The receptionist was friendly and willing to answer all of my questions.“
“I had a craving for a lunch plate so we decided to go to Ohana Hawaiian BBQ.We ordered #4-Hawaiian BBQ chicken and fried shrimp. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the shrimp was crispy and onolicious. Also, the mac salad was great too. It didn't have too much mayo...wish i had more scoops. ?“
“Excuse meee?! Hot cheeto sushi burrito . Absolutely love this idea! I been here like 3xs and its great. The fact we can customize our own sushi burrito like poke is amazing. I got their special limited taki blue heat masubi. The size of the burritos are full filling. They offer fries, boba, hot dogs, quesadillas, and etc. I order online and its always ready on time. Its also clean inside and they have a tv while you wait.“
“TLDR: their pasta straws are gluten freeCame here for breakfast during a layover.I had the avocado toast and it was tasty, bread was good and avocado was fresh.Francisco, our server, was so nice and took great care of us.My husband has celiac disease, a severe gluten allergy, so he just ordered a Coke. Upon drinking some of it he realized the straw was not plastic and we asked Fransisco what it was made of. He said it’s made of pasta. Ekkkk! We asked Fransisco for a glass of water so my husband could quickly take a couple charcoal pills. He did and then called corporate who checked and confirmed they are actually gluten free! Whew. It was a relief to know my husband didn’t get glutened from that one sip.Even better, to ensure there are no similar scares in the future Fransisco told us they are making a sign to hang in the back so that all staff are aware the pasta straws are gluten free.Will return next time we are in the San Jose airport.“
“This is definitely one of the best authentic Hawaiian food that you can get here in the Bay Area. They work in a ghost kitchen, which means it isn't a restaurant. You order through their website and select a time for pickup. They only operate on Thursday-Saturday with time slots for pickup being very limited. I recommend ordering at least a week before you plan to pickup because there won't be available times if you order the week of.Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp: I am so amazed by how this tastes. Those who have went to Hawaii, this is the closest thing to Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Hawaii. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and there is TONS of garlic. This is a must get!!!Original Spam Musubi: Great meat to rice ratio. They put big pieces of spam inside so every bite is flavorful. The spam is cooked with a tangy sweet sauce, which is how it is supposed to be everywhere.Chicken Katsu Musubi: The chicken is so tender! Skin of the chicken is crispy and the pickled cabbage tops it all off. The cabbage gives a nice crunch and refreshing taste to balance out the fried taste with the chicken katsu.“
