Hawaiian Restaurants near San Pablo, CA

“Got the chicken katsu dish. Katsu is very crisp, use thigh meat, sauce is good, habanero sauce is killer, some pieces of katsu mostly breading with how thin the meat got but a large portion and so I do not feel skimped on meat overall. Steamed cabbage and broccoli provided give a nice break to the grease. Mac is on par with l&l. Would eat here again“

“The food in here is very good, nothing to complain about that. I’m a recurring client
But I believe the receptionist should have lil help specially on weekends it gets very crowded and he is doing everything by himself
About the reception area I couldn’t help by noticing how dirty it is..
Maybe a extra help for him would really help 🙂“

“Incredible! The katsu chicken and crispy shrimp were still piping hot and insanely crispy after being delivered. Mac Salad and Spam Musubi also super flavourful not to mention the portion sizes. Delicious food and awesome bang for your buck“

“Super clean, very nice lady at the front cashier :), food was very fast and fresh. Loved the selection of the menu, a lot of variety and theres something for everyone! Good prices as well, especially for the area. Went here because our initial place was packed, but it turned out to be much better.“

“I got some protein or less carb version of a plate if I remember correctly.. anyhow I didn't expect my dinner to be completely devoid of any carbs. This led to a quite salty dinner which unfortunately not as enjoyable as it could have been. Otherwise pretty solid as far as Hawaiian BBQ goes.“

“I took my fiancé and her son here, both finicky eaters, they devoured their noodles as did I! Very savory, noodles was s were the best I ever had, the appetizers arrived within 10 min of ordering! Dumplings superb! A wonderful dinner for Mothers day!“

“Food was fresh! Service was great. The tables were clean!“

“I recently had the Lau Lau…it was delicious. I need another one. I’ve been coming here for about six months now. I was a bit apprehensive due to the few complaints, so when I initially went I went in person. It’s a grease spoon hole in the wall and I love it. The Chinese food is good too. Always tastes fresh. Ordered my girls fries from here too. I almost ate them all, like y’all gotta share lol. Anyways, I gave a 5 stars. That’s rare for me. Staff is serious and nice. I appreciate their mood…no bs and good food. Keep up the good work Frannies. Thank you!!“

“Amazing spot! The menu was very clear about dietary restrictions, and the fact that it’s an entirely gluten free establishment made me feel very safe in ordering. Portions for the bowls were fantastic (yay leftovers for lunch the next day!), and shout out to the many dressing/sauce options available. Finding gluten free teriyaki sauce AND vegan ranch to dip their delicious cauliflower wings? A major win!
Only caveat to note is the cookie dough potion is quite small for the price, but I do love to support Sweet Loren’s when I can.
Overall, so happy to have found this spot, and will definitely be ordering from here when I’m visiting Oakland again!

Dietary restrictions: The entire kitchen is dedicated gluten free, and all their menu items clearly state dietary restriction matches. There are many vegan options to accommodate as well!“

“Honana Hawaiian Food is simply the BEST!
I've tried many Hawaiian places, but none compare. Their chicken katsu is my absolute favorite - crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly too.
Even though I don't live in Pinole, I'll gladly make the drive for their amazing food. It's always worth it!“

“Great people, fresh ingridients, authentic taste. Love it!!“

“Good portions and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and college town feel.“

“Amazing sushi rolls and great service. Try it. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“Points off for rude service. The services talked to my group and I like we were stupid. We simply wanted a soda, we saw all those alcoholic drinks, we didn't want that. My fool of a beat friend gave her a tip anyway. I hope someone else will be working there next time“

“TL:DR -
I'm definitely going to go back 😀

We tried #18 (Loco Moco) and #1 (Hawaiian BBQ Mix).

Gravy (way) too salty. I'd ask for half as much.
My partner got an extra side, since the BBQ Mix was a dry rub.

Order at the counter ‼️

I had multiple issues with the touchscreen menu 💢 and then finally had to order at the counter anyway.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Surprise discovery and a great lunch experience!
My wife and I were headed somewhere else when we spotted Ramen 101 from the road—it looked inviting, so we decided to give it a try. At first, parking was a bit tricky since it’s tucked inside a lot, but we ended up parking right in front—lucky find! A woman greeted us nearby and asked if we could buy her a drink before heading in—it was a bit awkward.
Inside, the place looked sharp—great visuals in the windows and a clean, quiet vibe. The menu offered plenty of appealing options, so we both ordered the spicy beef ramen (but mild) and an order of deep-fried vegetables. The ramen looked as good as it tasted (see the picture)—tender beef, perfectly seasoned broth that wasn’t too spicy, and the veggie tempura was impressive—especially the sweet potato slices, which are my favorite and were a delicious surprise.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the environment was peaceful, so we could enjoy our conversation without noise. The total came in under $65, and it turned out to be a really pleasant, unexpectedly great stop. We’d happily come back!“

“My first time at this location, and I see that it has low ratings because of the service, but luckily it's looks like I avoided the problem employee.Pros: Huge portions, piping hot, ready quicklyCons: Nothing special taste wiseIf you're really hungry, eat here.“
