Hawaiian Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“It’s so yummy 🤤 and the food is so fresh“

“Randomly saw this place and was on the way back home so dropped by for their BBQ mixed plate.

Overall their portions are larger then any Hawaiian BBQ I've been too but they are a couple bucks more as well.

Chicken was great but their beef was a bit unseasoned. It was fine with the sauce but by itself was pretty mid. Mac salad was also decent.

Overall not a bad try but again big portions and also a bit more pricy. Parking is nonexistent as well.“

“Fresh ingredients and generous portions. Best poke bowl I have had. Very tastey!“

“Why has it taken me so long to write a review of Noelani's? I first encountered this little slice of island paradise because I joined an ukulele meet-up group that would play here together pre-COVID. Lots of selection of Hawaiian staples and favorites, always served up in generous portions. My favorite is the bar menu, which is also extensive and fun - haven't tasted them all (yet), but what a great value for the glass full of fun they pour. Live island music is always a treat and everybody is friendly.“

“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!“

“A Must-Visit for Musubi Enthusiasts!

This spot is a hidden gem for musubi lovers! Their Spam musubi is perfectly grilled, with seasoned rice and crisp nori. The variety of creative fillings keeps things exciting, and the quality is consistently top-notch. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommended!

“We ordered the kalua pork and a combo plate seafood BBQ mix with shrimp and chicken katsu.
The combo plate was huge but it felt like an ordinary dish you could get anywhere else. A bit bland nothing special.
However, the kalua pork was right on point. It tasted really good, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. That dish definitely stood out and made the meal worthwhile. If you go, I’d recommend sticking with the kalua pork.
The Hawaiian cookies was such a sweet surprise to see them there that I bought the guava flavor one. It instantly took me back to beautiful memories of a special place in Hawaii with family. Every bite felt nostalgic and comforting. 🌺“

“Delicious food for this type of restaurant and lots of chicken, beef, pork, and vegetable options. There are also multiple noodle and rice options. There is a lot of turnover so the food is usually fresh and hot when I’ve been there. The staff is always friendly and some are multilingual. There are several tables so you can sit there and eat. The parking lot isn’t huge, but you can park across the street. Also, great value as well. The portions are so large we usually eat it as 2 meals, that is if we can stop ourselves. Haha“

“10/10 — Absolutely Incredible!

We stopped at LL Hawaiian and WOW… this place is something special! We ordered the combo plate where you can choose two proteins, and we went with half beef and half shrimp. Both were AMAZING — the shrimp was perfectly crunchy and the beef was packed with flavor.

We also got the 3 musubi mix (one katsu, one spam, one BBQ chicken) and every single one was delicious. We added a side of katsu and the portions were HUGE — two big eaters couldn’t even finish it. Total bang for your buck!

The sauce was incredible, the sides (mac, rice, and salad) were on point, and everything tasted super fresh.

10/10 would recommend!!! We would honestly make the trip out here again just for this restaurant. A new favorite for sure! 🌺🍤🍛“

“Today I was able to eat in the San Bernardino location which just opened up today. Food was fresh and since it was the first day it was 50% off. I love this kind of meal. Satisfies my sushi craving without all the cost.“

“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.“

“Yummy Salmon!!!! Varieties of Food!! Fruit waters & TV!!!“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“A nice place to cowork! Came here with my brother and we enjoyed hanging out in the large table space they had.

Good:
- Cheap loose leaf tea - was about $4 and it was worth it to pay to be in the space
- Super fast service, food was ready in ~10 min

Bad:
- All ordering is pretty much done at the station

Overall this was a really nice place to just sit and park yourself, not too busy or expensive so I'd come again!“
