Hawaiian Restaurants near San Lorenzo, CA

“This is the best teriyaki restaurant I had in years. The chicken has the perfect tenderness and flavor. The sauce is not too sweet or salty, just perfect. This is truly a healthy bowl with your choice of white steam rice or organic brown rice, which I picked and it was wonderful. I felt healthy after eating there. Not too much or too little, just right. I've been there five times now and every time it brings me back for more. Their ribeye steak is also one of my favorite, it's so good and flavorful. I often bring back some food for my husband and he's a picky eater, and he also likes it. I really like this place alot and hope they stay in business for a long time. It's close to my home and glad they came into the neighborhood.“

“The BBQ beef and the BBQ Chicken is Amazing!!!! hands down best food in the area! Super reasonably priced and parking is easy. So good you will want to go every day! Plus the guy you oder with knows the menu back and forth and can help make suggestion.“

“I really REALLY recommend this place for family and friends the food is AMAZING ever since I tried the tacos I could not stop going here every day. The service is ok there in the middle for fast food because sometimes they have to many orders and they go really slow but over all it’s great . The atmosphere needs a little more decor kinda boring just seeing a table and you food.“

“They literally see me at least once a week. ITS MY FAVORITE GO TO FOR CHICKEN KATSU =) They are always nice, polite, helpful and prepare the food quickly with 0 errors. yum!I also recommend the teriyaki salmon!!!!Parking: Shares parking lot with many other things you ae bound to find a parking spot somewhere.“

“I've ordered takeout from ILava a couple times on Doordash. Their orders have been tasty, with pretty good portion size relative to the price (these days). I've had their Chicken Combo Plate (Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki), Walnut Prawns and the Curry Chicken (BBQ Chicken with Curry Sauce instead of the teriyaki sauce). Their normal plates come with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. Compared to some of the other Hawaiian places in the area, this is probably one of my new favorites.“

“This has to be one of those hole in the wall Chinese spots that if you quickly drove by, you wouldn't have realized it was a gold mine! First off, quality of their food was amazing! After getting back home with our to go box, the fried food was still CRISPY. It was the crispy fish filet that sold us! Wow, batter was amazing, fluffy and did I say... crispy? Let's talk about the service, upon walking in I was immediately greeted with a friendly hello and smile by a younger girl who looked like she was probably helping her family's business, scooping away filing orders and still able to friendly greet me. Ambience was more to go style but they did have some tables and benches you'd be able to enjoy your food at. Parking might also be hard to come by since it's on a main busy street as well. We will be back to support!!“

“Actually SO yummy.My friend and I shared the mochiko chicken plate. The mac salad is well seasoned, above your average mac salad from the salad bar. The kale, tomato, and cucumber was drenched in such yummy sauce as well (idk what it was but it had a hint of sweetness which liked) and the star of the show, the CHICKEN. Absolutely glorious. The only thing have had that can realy compare it to is a perfect karage. It is so tender, juicy, and the perfect amount of crispy. The sauce and rice are given in just the right portions to compliment this mouthwatering chicken. The staff was also really kind, adding to the overall welcoming and relaxed mood of the place. The inside is well decorated with some good times playing along with two indoor seating areas. The rest of the seating is outside with these umbrellas for sunny days so it is pretty open to you and your friends to chill and hang out for however long you want. Outside, there is self-served water as well as a bar for drinks but is still family friendly. The place is also overall well kept, being very clean. The vibes of the place were overall good and very enjoyable.The size of this meal is pretty hefty, it is $17 after all. It is so good though could eat up the whole thing myself but probably be on the verge of exploding at the end so would definitely recommend to share with a friend or you could save the rest for later. However, I definitely want to return to try more of their menu.“

“Their chicken and rice is delicious I usually ask for no onions in my salad and they're able to work with me but not this last visit they weren't able to do so. Their food might be pricey by one plate usually lasts me two servings. Definitely recommend the teriyaki chicken Aloha plate.“

“Update: "$20-30" is inaccurate/misleading. For 2, you can expect to spend $110 after tax and tip if you get one of their combos. The crab/shrimp/clam combo is $80.Excellent crab/clams/shrimp Cajun combo. Even mild was quite spicy. Gave me a HUGE stomach ache the next morning (due to the spice) but I still want to go back. Will just have to take some Tums/Pepto.Vegetarian options: Definitely avoid this place if you are vegetarian“

“Exceptional experience here. The Chinese skewers were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The owner's warmth and genuine interest in customer satisfaction added a special touch to the dining experience. They were eager to hear feedback and offered great advice on menu choices. Can't wait to visit again!“

“Absolutely super tasty with nice variety of toppings. The team making the food was helpful and explained what different things were and gave some good recommendations regarding sauce combinations. The fish is fresh and the everything else is was crisp and delicious. Medium portion is huge so they are very generous with their scoops. We took out but there was plenty of table space. Parking is plentiful. The only reason I'm not 5 staring this place is due to all the extra fees. Every time I asked for something I heard "that's extra". Just build it into the pricing. Sorry it's my pet peeve. All in all a great experience. By all means try it out. I will be back. Let's support our local businesses!“
