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!“

“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.“

“Absolute worst Hawaiian food on earth 45 minutes I waited for my order and I went through the drive-through“

“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.“

“We drove all the way to HI City From Livermore to taste their poke bowls! It was well worth it! We both had a poke bowl filled with delicious poke which included ahi tuna, sweet and spicy shrimp, and furikake salmon. There were a few other types of fish. They added all kinds of toppings like corn, edamame, sesame seeds, ginger and much more, calamansi sauce on top. It was all on a bed of shiritaki noodles or you could pick rices or green salad. The owners were so welcoming and very friendly. The menu also offered different musubis and hot entrees like short ribs and more. They had the aloha spirit and I definitely would drive back into SF for another poke bowl.“

“🌺 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! 🌴🍳🤙“

“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.“

“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. 🙏🏾“

“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!“

“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!!“

“My drink was exactly perfect and I loved the ambiance. I had a nice time just looking at their collection of Tiki’s . I thought my food was a bit salty personally however it might not be to some people . The hostess was friendly and very welcoming .“

“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!“

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

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“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.“

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

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

“This Hawaiian restaurant is a hidden treasure! The service was exceptional, with staff eager to share their love for Hawaiian cuisine. The food was a sensational journey through the islands, with the macadamia nut-crusted mahi-mahi stealing the show. The ambiance was a dreamy escape, complete with surfboards and hula dancers. You'll leave with a heart full of aloha!“

“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!!“

“I ordered using Uber Eats.
We ordered Lemon Chicken, Chicken Katsu & Masubi and one other item. I clicked yes to include utensils and napkins and I even added in the notes please include utensils, chopsticks and napkins.
Since I am staying at a hotel these were needed. The hotel had no picnicware so my son and I walked to the store down the street to buy some. Got back to cold food that wasn’t in containers that could NOT be heated in the microwave and discovered they didn’t include soy sauce.
The Mac salad was perfect. The rice definitely needed soy sauce. The flavor of the lemon chicken was great even though it was room temp. The katsu lost its texture in the time it Took to get utensil unfortunately.
I’m not trying to be petty over utensil but it really made for an unfortunate experience.“

“I enjoy the chicken 🐔 and Rice“
