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.“

“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!“

“I've only ever ordered the food by delivery. The food is better than Panda Express. Also the portion size is huge and for a good price too. If you are looking for fast food Chinese food this is the place to get 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.“

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

“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“

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

“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“

“A nice Hawaiian spot in Alameda. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. I got the loco moco with fried rice, my wife got the kalbi loco moco, and my son got the keiki hamburger sliders. We washed it all down with POG to complete our meal. Nice friendly staff. Bathroom is clean.“

“If you want delicious food, at a good price, with great quality, I recommend this restaurant. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The chef is consistent with all the food orders I have placed and that says a lot since my family and have been their customers for years.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“One of the last few locations in the USA. I really like their smoking oven. The place is elegant casual. Its a lot if fun.
Update 2025: Much has changed since my review about 8 years ago. Dishes were a-miss, the service was fine, but not exciting. Value for items was not up to my expectation, and there were few other patrons on what should have been a very busy evening.

My previous 5 star review is downgrades to 3 stars, but the review still shows the origional rating.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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