Hawaiian Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“Delicious food, generous portions, and great service. The chicken combo and aloha bbq mix are a must-try—so flavorful and perfectly cooked. iLava is consistently good every time!“

“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.“

“It's a pretty basic place. It's not super clean. Looks like it's been here a long time. Many, many people came and went as I sat and ate. My food price is good and the food is fair. The portions are large. I don't have any complaints. That's a real bargain for the price.“

“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!“

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

“New ghost kitchen at Adeline Food Hall. I ordered the Large Mixed Plate via DoorDash. I picked bbq chicken and fried chicken. Plate came with mac salad and rice. The chicken is laying on a bed of rice. Prices are higher than Ono Hawaiian BBQ, and portions are slightly smaller. But it's delicious food and served fresh! 4-stars.“

“Precio justo, rica comida.“

“Excellent food , as good as any Hawaiian BBQ“

“Very good food and excellent customer service you feel really welcomed as you come into the restaurant and the atmosphere feels so good the staff are really nice they even offered us a cold drink on the house because it was hot outside you should definitely come and try this place out“

“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“

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

“🌺 A Taste of Hawaii at Shaka Shack! 🌺

We stopped by Shaka Shack for breakfast and had such a nice experience! The food was delicious, comforting, and had that wonderful homemade, homey feel that makes you want to stay awhile.

We tried Da Kine, Kimchi Cucumber, Kalua Pork, and Kai’s Plate with Beef Ribs Kalbi—everything was flavorful and satisfying. The Kalua Pork was especially delicious, with that tender, savory taste that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. The Beef Ribs Kalbi were also a favorite—tender, flavorful, and packed with that delicious Korean-Hawaiian flair.

The Kimchi Cucumber added a refreshing, tangy crunch that balanced out the richer dishes perfectly.

The atmosphere at Shaka Shack is relaxed and welcoming, with a cozy, homey feel that makes it a really pleasant spot for a morning meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy good food without feeling rushed.

Delicious food, comforting flavors, and a laid-back Hawaiian feel—Shaka Shack is definitely worth a visit for breakfast! 🌴🍳🤙“

“Cashier is very friendly and professional. She makes me so comfortable. I came once and felt so welcomed I came back for the last 4 Days straight. I even came yesterday Tuesday but you guys were close. Keep up the great Customer Service. 🙏🏾“

“I’ve always ordered the teriyaki plate with Mac salad and did order something for others and this place makes the best Hawaiian teriyaki reminded me of the flavors back home on Hawaii and there is a Moku’s back home and I appreciate the food from Moku Berkeley! My go to when I’m craving for food back home!!“

“The prices are reasonable and the food was good!
I ordered the BBQ chicken and I was impressed by the flavor and the quality of the chicken. It wasn't dried out but was nice and moist. Exactly what I would want.
The macaroni salad was okay, It wasn't the best hawaiian macaroni salad I've had, but it wasn't worse either not a whole lot of flavor to it .
The service was really fast like within 2 minutes.
The atmosphere was typical small busness resturant. Nothing elegant, but functional and clean.

Yes, I would recommend it.“

“Came here with my girlfriend on a Friday night, and we had a great time. Reservations are pretty much required, so set that up ahead of time!

The location and decorum were both amazing. Views of the water while enjoying a meal with friends or loved ones - can't beat it!

They have a colorful selection of drinks, but they're not cheap so be warned! I had the guava Mai Tai which was delicious.

The food was outstanding. The Hawaiin fried rice is better than I expected - I could eat a mountain of it on any given day! The beef/reef skewers and pork chop were good too, so I'm excited to try something else next time.“

“First time and it was very good light on the stomach n refreshing. I will be back and recommend it . Yum I'll be back“

“Amazing Poke bowls (Honolulu is my favourite!) and really great service at the Filmore location :) Bonus for their Facebook page/messaging for their quick response about a lost item!“

“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“

“great food... healthy and the staff are very friendly“

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

“Amazing sushi rolls and great service. Try it. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“I had the chicken beef and ribs bento box. The ribs were so good I went back and ordered another set of ribs for later. The customer service was awesome I had never been there before and they were quick to point out their favorite recommendations so thumbs up. Sorry I didn't take any pictures cuz I ate it too fast.“

“The portions were plentiful and delicious, and the clerk was very friendly. The food was very good as it wasn't very salty. Even though I changed the addition several times, he treated me kindly without his face being distorted once. It was so delicious!! suggestion!!“

“Inside was clean, I got the beef mini meal and replaced the macaroni salad with rice, the food cane with rice, bbq beef, and vegetables (cabbage and broccoli) the food was so good that I picked out the broccoli and ate it on its own, and I hate broccoli, so that shows how good it was“

“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!“

“I enjoy the chicken 🐔 and Rice“

“New favorite lunch place on campus! The bowls are always fresh and I enjoy the flexibility with size and ingredient options.“
