Hawaiian Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“This was the best poke I’ve had (that isn’t in Hawaii)! Also the staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free options (I had the ginger ahi and spicy salmon, both gf). The long line moved pretty quickly on a Friday afternoon“

“i went here back to back during my trip because it was that good. the poke was fresh, flavorful, and those serrano peppers on top? absolute game changer.

the staff was awesome too. everyone was welcoming, respectful, and genuinely happy to help. the portions were generous and everything tasted incredibly fresh.

i’m not even from san diego, but this quickly became one of my favorite spots while visiting. if i lived nearby, it would honestly be dangerous because i’d probably be here all the time. great food, great service, and an all around awesome experience. highly recommend pacific beach poke house!“

“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.“

“Food 😋Service and location absolutely wonderful!“

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

“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.“

“Fish District is much better than the Rubios and Fish Grill that are nearby. Their food is fresh, delicious, and healthy.

The cashier/server Paige provided excellent recommendations and outstanding customer service.

Will definitely return!“

“Visited recently and had a good experience overall at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Portions were generous and the food definitely hit the spot when craving Hawaiian BBQ. The BBQ chicken had good flavor and the macaroni salad was solid. Service was friendly and the food came out reasonably fast. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 only because a few things could have been a little more consistent, but overall I’d come back again.“

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

“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.“

“Food was delicious and tasted fresh. Wish it came in a larger portion. I got two scoops (1 salmon and 1 tofu). Service was friendly and place was clean. I would come here again. Bathrooms could have been cleaner.

Plenty of seating available.“

“I go to Pokechop all the time. The food is delicious with great portion sizes. The ingredients are super fresh and flavorful. I love being able to customize my poke bowl, which you can’t always do at different poke shops. I usually order ahead of time and it is always ready quickly.“

“Amazing food! Delicious every single time!“

“Best L&L is all of San Diego. The food is excellent and they have more options than all the other ones. Plenty of seating inside, tables are clean, great value too.

There is plenty of parking, its very family-friendly. Best suits medium parties or smaller. Indoor and outdoor seating. Easy to find parking, but it still gets busy.“

“Love this place. I had the Big Brudda combination. It was delicious and I'm taking leftovers home. They have a great beer selection, Kona Big Wave is wonderful with this meal. The atmosphere takes me to Hawaii while we're here. Highly recommend!“

“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 ☹️).“

“Amazing food as always... Quality service and quality for your purchase... Unfortunately on this, our goodbye visit... We got the wrong chicken ordered... My mother ordered chicken katsu... But as we were packing up our order we realized that we received barbecue chicken instead... They were closing and we needed to get on the freeway for our journey home... The only disappointment was that we were looking forward to chicken katsu... Hawaiian barbecue is hard to come by in New Mexico... We have a spot in our town... They to are amazing as well... Yet, you just can't beat L&Ls portions... Quality and quantity that hasn't changed for almost a century now...“

“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.“

“The food is soooo good, big portions and excellent service.“

“The food is a 10. Fresh, cooked to order and fast service ...“

“I'd work here if they paid me in poke bowls. So good. Other places the fish is questionable but this place always has a great taste and seems fresh! Oh and since you got rid of your yummy fountain and now just have standard Pepsi $2+ is a little much for a little cup of a Pepsi product .... I miss the old options that were worth the money �“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic!

Sushi Hana hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever visited. The fish is unbelievably fresh, the rolls are beautifully prepared, and every bite bursts with flavor. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern—perfect for both a casual lunch or a special night out.“

“Food is similar to all other L&L (garlic shrimp is so so so good), but what really stood out to me was the incredible service by the young lady working the register. We visiting during lunch on Tuesday June 2. She was welcoming, helpful, and really embraced the aloha spirit. Please give her a raise.“

“Loved this place! The food was great. The service was amazing. The owners are super friendly.“

“I came here for the first time while I was visiting back home. The food was really good. The only thing I'll say is that they did not have a restroom. You'll have to go across the street to 711 but the service was nice and the prices weren't bad.“

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

“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“

“Good portion and fresh food. I think their Pokeland sauce changed because it used to be better. Still a great place.“

“Fresh food. Great service. Always super friendly staff. I always go to the noodles and co right next door and see this little shop. I can’t believe it has taken forever for me to try it. The Musubi feels so fresh. And the place is super clean.“

“We LOVE L&L! We were so happy that we had a little bit of Hawaii in SD. The food is local authentic, amazingly good and the portions are huge!

I love lau lau and it’s not commonly found in SoCal. And theirs is really good. My wife loves the chicken katsu too. The mac salad is legit! Tried the garlic chicken and it’s great too!“
