Hawaiian Restaurants near San Bruno, CA

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.“

“The dining room remains a bit dirty. After people eat, they don't clean it up. It is unappetizing to eat at a dirty table. It is best to take it to-go. The fried tilapia $14 is what I got this time. That tasted OK. I had the BBQ chicken earlier last month. That was not good. It had a rubbery skin and it was hard to chew. The fried tilapia fish is much better.“

“Great delicious food! Good portions! Cute atmosphere.“

“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The woman that took my order was really nice. The price was standard for a lunch, I got the chicken katsu plate, it was 12.50, so pretty standard. It was really good even tho i had like no appetite. The shop was kinda dirty but its not like I has eating there.“

“Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand.

Good:
- The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl
- The portion size was good - I was very full by the end
- A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit

Bad:
- The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it

Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“This Ohana Hawaiian BBQ location felt dirty and dilapidated. There's a weird outdoors picnic table inside the restaurant. Food crumbs and trash are on the tables. The girl taking orders spoke with barely audible words. Probably not the best person for that job. My meals were fried fish $11.25 and bbq katsu mix $12.25. Both tasted OK.“

“This is the first review of 2025. I accidently ordered off the uber app from a whim. Until I read the reviews meanwhile my meal was in route. I think they changed the cook yall. Chicken was cooked well rice as well. Mac needs its home recipe for sure. Was the chicken hot? No it was warm. But I am very impressed by the improvement. I won't be ordering again though. 😂😂😂😂“

“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!

“I usually get the kalbi and chicken katsu half and half, and it is consistently solid every time. The portions are filling, the kalbi is flavorful, and the katsu is crispy and reliable. It is one of those comfort meals where I know exactly what to expect.

Parking can be somewhat difficult since the lot is shared with In-N-Out, which gets busy quickly, especially during peak hours. I almost always order ahead, so the wait time is reasonable and pickup is smooth.

The ambiance is just okay. It is casual and functional, nothing special. The cashiers are fine, not overly friendly but not rude, and service is straightforward.

I keep coming back because it is consistent, filling, and a good value for the price. It is not a destination spot, but it is a dependable go-to when I am craving kalbi, katsu, or classic Hawaiian comfort food.“

“Solid poke place. I like how you check what you’d like to have in your bowl on a little paper sheet like a deli sandwich order. There are lots of good options. Would recommend and go back. Regular bowl size is a sizable portion. Minor details but wasabi is the fake stuff- colored radish probably because it doesn’t taste like actual wasabi- and adding a small scoop of avocado adds $1.25. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
I recommend half rice and half mixed greens as a base- it’s a great mix in my opinion!“

“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!“

“Our regular L&L. When we are too lazy to cook, we would ordered the following: mini Bbq chicken or a mini chicken Katsu or mini garlic Basa( yummy) or Spam musubi. These are our favorite. You can’t go wrong with these items. I also order party trays for potluck Christmas luncheon.“

“Good Service and the quality of food prepared cater for picky person like me. Absolutely 💯 recommended“

“Was looking for Poke for lunch and decided to give the Poke Hose a try. Decided to build my own bowl, Gothic Tuna, and Garlic oyster Tuna for protein, topped with edamame, green onion, avacado and cucumbers. Sauce was Sweet unagi, topped with crispy onion and orange fish eggs. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Wasn't a big fan of the sweet unagi sauce, next time I'll stick to my normal, Ponzu sauce. Definitely would recommend giving them a try if your in the mood for Poke.“

“I like this place. Basic, no frills, Hawaiian BBQ. My favorite is the Shrimp Noodle soup. Large bowl of veggies' shrimp and super hot broth. Noodles on the side in the to go orders. Such nice noodles. Cooked perfectly so they finish cooking when you add them to the hot broth. Highly recommended. All of the other Hawaiian BBQ dishes also on the menu. Not much on atmosphere though.“

“Amazing fresh food! Huge portions! Chicken katsu & misubi are my go-2 😋 support our local businesses!“

“Surprisingly solid poke vibe in the mall! I would say this is on par with some of my favorite poke places in the main SF city area. They have papers and pencils for you that you hand over for them to take your order.

Only drawback is that it’s in a mall food court in terms of atmosphere.“

“Was looking for a place to eat that was open early and couldn't be more happier that I found this place!

They had a large selection of food which you had a choice if you wanted a small or big size. I asked for recommendations and finally settled with the chicken katsu curry. The server also gave me two sauces (gravy and katsu sauce) to try out with my meal. It was such a huge portion for even a small size and it was truly a great meal. Both sauces worked perfectly with the katsu. The price is very reasonable too!

While the food was great, the staff taking my order was so nice and welcoming. It definitely made me want to come back to this place.

I want to come back and try the Loco Moco next!“

“Yummylicous barnone! Totally recommended 😋👍“

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

“delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious 😋“

“I frequent this place because it is nearby and is one of the few places still open later at night past 9pm when I am off work. I like that there is a good balance between the ingredients, and the salmon always tastes fine. I recommend large because that is enough food for 2 meals, so you get a much better deal for a few dollars more.
It's also really nice to be able to use the paper to choose your order, that way there is no anxiety about taking too long to order or holding up a line. I've never even seen a line here, maybe because I come late night.
There's always an empty parking spot or multiple spots right in front, so it's super quick too. I think it's because of how quickly the staff makes the bowls and from how you order by writing on paper, so nobody has to wait long.
The staff always seem pretty nice, friendly, and patient.
So in my frequent times here, I've never had a bad experience.

Parking: We've always been able to park right in front when we come at night.“

“Yay for Poke Bowl! They can serve into your own container so you don't generate any trash! Their portions were just fine (I got a medium size order and it filled my largest bowl so glad I did not get the largest one). The woman who made it did a very good job making sure she got everything on my list. I'm really glad they have brown rice and lots of different mix in options. I think she may have forgotten a sauce at the end after she added the Unagi, but it was still very tasty anyway so I did not mind. The atmosphere/decors was pretty flat with some of the front used for storage but the food and service were great!“

“Healthy, tasty, fresh poke with kind and respectful servers. 5 out of 5 recommend! I like this place.“
