Hawaiian Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“This was the best meal we had in San Diego. The staff was so helpful and kind. Helping us pick a combo and offering glasses of water. My 11 year old and I came here and shared a large bowl with extra protein and it was the perfect lunch, added POG and came to 25.“

“I got the plate lunch with spicy garlic butter shrimp, Mac salad, and rice. Also tried a malasada, spam musubi, and a dirty soda. This was so good! You have to try their food. You will not be disappointed. I don't even want to leave - I just want to order more food lol“

“Love coming to this local shop in Ocean Beach. My favorite is their Furikake Salmon along with some rice. Hits the spot every time!

There's no tables inside but my group always goes to Ocean Beach to take in the views and eat. A must try for the area.“

“Located near the sdsu campus, this location is accessible to students and community members alike. The food was fresh and the katsu had a delectable crutch that left a good taste in my mouth. The cashier was a kind soul that made our L & L experience one that we’ll never forget.“

“Best poke around. Fresh and legit“

“Love the Huli Huli and the spicy Poke Bowl oh so ono. The Haupia is a out of this world too. Just perfect and delish.“

“We were thrilled to discover this restaurant! Our go-to Hawaiian spot recently shut down, so we have been on the hunt for a replacement. Homestyle Hawaiian may become our new go-to. We loved that they offer table service. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our server offered descriptive recommendations while taking our order. They offer a selection of tap beers and bottled wine. The portion sizes are hearty, and the pricing is fair. The kalua pig combo plate was delicious. It was served with rice and macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was exactly what I was looking for as far as taste. The spam musubi was the only thing we didn't enjoy. The spam was overcooked. We will definitely be back and recommend this location!“

“Good protein options. I went at a not too busy time of day so I also got to quietly sit and enjoy the meal. I only had the PYOP so I can only say that I enjoyed that, but I am sure everything else on the menu is good as well“

“Delicious Sunday brunch after a long walk on Ocean dog beach (dog breakfast too!)“

“Amazing food! Delicious every single time!“

“Recommended place for Hawaiian comfort food conveniently located in the Ralph's shopping center. The food portions are large which is a plus. If you happen to also shop at Ralph's, look at the back of the Ralph's receipt for a $5 off $20 coupon at L&L Hawaiian BBQ, it's an awesome deal ?“

“Great food! The only thing negative for us are the seating. It’s always crowded every time and there’s no restroom😔.“

“Overall, this La Mesa location it’s not too bad. It’s pretty good. The barbecue beef again. This is a college area and yet this one in La Mesa beats the one located in La Jolla so something‘s going on over in the expensive area where they’re cheating the value or the quality where you have El Cajon and now here in La Mesa much better quality service is pretty good in the atmosphere. It’s it’s giving me that Hawaiian vibe a little bit so watch out expensive living areas you gotta pick up your game and stop being cheap.“

“Love the Huli Huli and the spicy Poke Bowl oh so ono. The Haupia is a out of this world too. Just perfect and delish.“

“Edit: thank you so much for responding. One of my favorites is Hawaiian barbeque so I really look forward to it. The barbeque chicken is really good. It's the other parts that are a little overcooked.

It's almost great, but the dark meat is almost always over cooked. It tastes like it was scraped of the grill. Imagine if there was left over grime in a skillet. It just tastes charcoaly“

“I'm truly OBSESSED with this place. I find myself craving it ALL the time... even even I've already eaten here twice in the same week!
Choosing from my fave items can be tough, but I can ALWAYS fall back on my go-to Grilled Mahi w sticky white rice 🤤

It NEVER disappoints, even when I eat it 2-3 days after picking it up fresh to-go.

Fish District...
You forever have my heart (and my stomach) 💞“

“Awesome people, served delecious barbecues, love it.... I highly recommended. Lol“

“Mmm Mmmm Ordered The BBQ Mixed Plate for lunch/dinner (cooked perfectly), malasadas (sooo warm & puffy) ? Pineapple Coconut Smoothie, Strawberry Guava Nectar Hawaiian Sun & Kauai Kookie Macadamia Hawaiian Shortbread to take home. Couldn't wait, so ate there & enjoyed my favorite island reggae jamz. Onolicious 4 Sure? Much Mahalo for your Fantastic & Friendly Customer Service ???“

“Everyone in our house used to like poke. After we found Poke Chop, we LOVE poke! They have so many options of fish and sauces and toppings. I’ve never found as big of a selection. My daughter would eat here every day if I’d let her. There aren’t many places in Hillcrest where a family of 3 can get dinner for around $30, and be totally stuffed, and not feel blah afterwards. The fish is always really fresh. The only thing that could make it better is if they added mango, mmmmm. We try to eat there as much as possible because it will be a very sad day if they close. (It’s a reality in the Hillcrest restaurant business ☹️).“

“Food is great, they have great quality poke.

Couple of notes: the staff today was rude, just not friendly overall 😞 very disappointing

There's still no indoor seating and the place is still set up for Covid. So plan to eat outside if you come here.“

“A hidden gem in San Diego

Sushi Hana is hands-down one of the best sushi spots I’ve found in San Diego! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and authentic. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do.

Now let’s talk about the sushi—absolutely phenomenal. The fish is incredibly fresh, with melt-in-your-mouth texture and perfect cuts. Their specialty rolls are creative without being over-the-top, and each one is beautifully plated. I highly recommend the Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll and Hana Special Roll—they’re packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. The nigiri and sashimi options are top-tier, too.

Beyond the food, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, Sushi Hana delivers every time. It’s the kind of place you want to keep coming back to—and I definitely will“
