Hawaiian Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“Wasn't crowded and the food was delicious ?.

Parking: Sometimes it's hard to find parking. There are a few businesses close by.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a couple of handicap parking in front of the restaurant.“

“Fresh poke bowl made as you order.“

“Woteva they have dat’s onolicious!!!!!“

“Olioli has a great hawaiian food menu and the service is awesome. Our favorite is the Loco Moco and Bbq Mix and typically order online for pick up.

The atmosphere is the only problem as there are sometimes homeless roaming or hanging out nearby. This isn't the fault of the business per say and more of the shopping area. Otherwise the quality of the food is great and that's what really matters.

The dining area can be improved but I love the old school hawaiian posters and gives that island vibe. We love coming here when the family is craving some good hawaiian food.

Definitely recommend everyone support this business as it is great to have a hawaiian restaurant available in this area.“

“I ordered their Loco Moco combo where you could choose two meats - I chose loco moco and grilled chicken. It came with rice, gravy, and macaroni salad on the side. My boyfriend ordered the chicken katsu and we shared a Spam musubi. The prices were reasonable and the portion of food was huge, it left us feeling full and satisfied. I liked the decor of the restaurant and the food was quick to arrive. When I asked the waitress questions about some food on the menu, though, she looked unsure.

Parking: You will need to pay for street parking.“

“The Monterey Rd restaurant is kuddos 5stars. The restaurant is always clean, the service is great the delivery is quick and OMG the food is impeccable good. I have referral numerous family members and friends to this one restaurant. I fell in love 3 12 yes ago and now I'm a regular. the food is clean, healthy and very tasty.“

“What a hidden gem! I work just down the street and was looking for a place that had a simple bowl of protein and rice that wasn’t too expensive. Found this place on Yelp and seeing the good reviews I went to try it out, so glad I did!! I was shocked that I was able to get a decent size BBQ chicken bowl for just $15.00. Nowadays that’s unheard of. The owner was really welcoming and sweet. Highly recommend!!“

“Island vibes and scrumptious Hawaiian kind food. I walked in on a gamble since it’s hard to find a good Hawaiian BBQ place. This place is about premium products and it shows in their food. Seafood is hard to fake, their Seafood platter was on point. Crunchy but moist ! I’ll be back to try it all.“

“I'm not very critical of the food service industry. We all essentially are trying to do the same thing.

If you love short ribs and spam musubi, you won't be disappointed with this place. Facilities are clean, and the staff conduct business very well. They even have a TV going if you decide to dine in.

Parking: Standard parking lot you would find at any shopping plaza“

“A Hawaiian restaurant, with good food, friendly if a bit overwhelmed help. Order at the counter from the menu on the wall. Take your food to a table, or out, at your option. Bus your own plates. The portions are large, varied and tasty. I'll be back at my next opportunity.“

“great food and friendly people“

“I decided to get some poke, and this spot is close by, so some friends and I go. The shop is small with barely any seating, but there are 4 tables outside.

The fish was fresh, and the number of choices for toppings was great. The process to build the bowl is fast, and the service was kind. They even gave me a bit extra on one of my toppings without charging me.

All in all it was a large portion for the large bowl with 4 different proteins and lots of toppings. The refresher drinks are also really delicious.“

“Poke place in Santana Row might seem pricy but honestly for the quantity, the few extra dollars was justified I feel.

Good flavors and lots of options, far better then some poke places I've been to.
Their cantaloupe juice is quite strong as well so would recommend.

Overall for price I'd visit again if I'm in the area.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite after work. I ordered the Chicken Katsu with rice. I also tried the Mac Salad at Tommy's suggestion. Chicken was freshly cooked, nice, and crispy. The Mac Salad was pretty good, too, this coming from a guy that doesn't really care for Mac Salad. Stop in and give this place a try. It's definitely a good portion of food for the $$.“

“Food was great! But I wouldn't choose this place to dine in. You are much better off getting take out or delivery. I am a traveler and was craving a sushirrito with hot cheetos, this place definitely hit the spot! But since I am just passing through, this place was not ideal as their restroom is marked "for employees only" and when I asked to use it they said no, so I also couldn't wash my hands after I finished my yummy, but messy burrito. The tables are also set up in a way to discourage dining in, I am guessing these policies are left over from the covid scare. We went at peak lunch hours and there wasn't really any customers besides a few delivery orders. Staff was very friendly and the place was clean! I would rate the food and the staff 5/5, but took a star off for the dining in part.

Parking: Parking was difficult, spots in the plaza fill in fast.“

“From the outside, this place doesn't look like much, but drop any preconceived notions. This place blows chains like L&L out of the water. If you're looking for Hawaiian and Chinese American comfort food, this is the place to go. I can honestly recommend so much of the menu, but my absolute favorite thing they make is their gravy. Their chicken cutlet with gravy is so good (same thing with their gravy fries), but a hot tip for your dipping needs is that they'll sell you the gravy separately if you ask for it.“

“Great lemon pepper chicken.. very friendly staff !“

“The food is delicious... the portions are big. For me, I have to share, I can't finish it alone. The BBQ meat is big... plus rice and macaroni or salad. The chicken katsu is also delicious...I'm satisfied here. The place is not too big but there is space for eating inside.“

“First time customer and everything was so fresh Anna tasty. I completely loved it🍲and would recommend. thank u“

“My husband performed here and I enjoyed the place so much. It's a cool atmosphere to hang out in and can't wait til I'm back in San Jose to visit again.“

“The musubi trio is spam, chicken katsu, and BBQ chicken. If you're a fan of all three, it saves you $.40. Otherwise, just get the musubi you want instead.I will say this jawn slaps. It's no very shareable, the musubi, as cutting in destroys the structural integrity of the wrap, but yeah go for this one mate. The BBQ sauce is good. Definitely something you can be without but it does add a layer.Great service here as well. Would go again.“

“I enjoyed a very tasty soup I ordered. I was quite happy to be full and it was very easy on the stomach not bad for a first time here. Place is nice and clean doubles as a donut shop in the same space. Good service worker at the register. Answered one of my, I guess crazy questions it was answered I was kinda embarrassed to come out of no where. I was lead here from the street. I was walking in the side walk heading to the light. When suddenly I smelled a wonderful aroma of BBQ. So I followed my nose till I just walked right in after looking at the menu they had on the window. Made my selection and win for us good. Guys who live on one ramen soup a day. This was like an upgrade power up win! I'm out come here just follow your nose.“

“Delicious!!! First time here so I wasn’t sure what to order. Ended up ordering the tuna lovers bowl. Next time I will customize it a bit more and it will be even better!“

“Very tasty food & it’s always fresh😋👌🏼“
