Hawaiian Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“Great delicious food! Good portions! Cute atmosphere.“

“I like this place. Basic, no frills, Hawaiian BBQ. My favorite is the Shrimp Noodle soup. Large bowl of veggies' shrimp and super hot broth. Noodles on the side in the to go orders. Such nice noodles. Cooked perfectly so they finish cooking when you add them to the hot broth. Highly recommended. All of the other Hawaiian BBQ dishes also on the menu. Not much on atmosphere though.“

“Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand.

Good:
- The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl
- The portion size was good - I was very full by the end
- A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit

Bad:
- The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it

Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, fresh, interesting. The sushi burritos are great - but the rolls are really special, particularly the Toro Roll. And the beef potsticker are excellent! So thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The woman that took my order was really nice. The price was standard for a lunch, I got the chicken katsu plate, it was 12.50, so pretty standard. It was really good even tho i had like no appetite. The shop was kinda dirty but its not like I has eating there.“

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.“

“Absolutely delicious, surprisingly pairs really well with wine, too!“

“My favorite place to get poké in the city! If you get a large, the portion is a great value for the money.

Tip:
I always opt for the salmon (the other fish aren’t as good) and ask for light sauce (otherwise they tend to drench it in way too much sauce.)“

“Amazing Poke bowls (Honolulu is my favourite!) and really great service at the Filmore location :) Bonus for their Facebook page/messaging for their quick response about a lost item!“

“Hi City Poke nails that true island flavor! The owner is from Hawaii and brings all the aloha with him — super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about sharing good food.

The poke itself? So ono. Fresh, flavorful, and totally legit. You’ll find classic Hawaiian-style fish alongside “mainland” toppings — because, as the owner said, “you gotta give the city what it wants.” But don’t worry, purists — the foundation is all Hawaii.

It’s quick, delicious, and feels like a little taste of home“

“Great value! A ton of meat for a very reasonable price (like $13.46 after tax!). I ordered the #1 combo and it came with a ton of chicken, beef short ribs, and stir fry beef. It had a side of rice, macaroni salad, and a little bit of cabbage.“

“taste good, better than the rest! okidoki!“

“Hard working servers with delicious food. Two thumbs up.“

“Really solidly good Hawaiian food. I had family visiting from France who wanted to try Hawaiian food and they loved it! Especially high praise coming from Parisians used to amazing restaurants. It's a small place and nothing fancy but the food is really, really good. If you haven't been, you should definitely try it!“

“Solid poke place. I like how you check what you’d like to have in your bowl on a little paper sheet like a deli sandwich order. There are lots of good options. Would recommend and go back. Regular bowl size is a sizable portion. Minor details but wasabi is the fake stuff- colored radish probably because it doesn’t taste like actual wasabi- and adding a small scoop of avocado adds $1.25. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
I recommend half rice and half mixed greens as a base- it’s a great mix in my opinion!“

“The staff are very generous with their portions. Even when buying a small bowl, they get as much salmon as they can with each scoop they add to your bowl. Ultimately the quantity you get from a $18-$22 bowl is massive, especially for a poke place.

Not to mention the house salmon is delicious, and their sauce game is on point. Always get at least 3 sauces!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“Man it was good, but how can you be a Hawaiian BBQ place without a LOCO MOCO on the menu?! That needs to get added immediately“

“The food here is awesome. Don't sit around in the place, it's like a fast food restaurant in person: bleak and no one cares what it looks like. All you need to do is pick up the food! The chicken katsu was great and the meat medley/combo dish. Love this!



Parking: There's an in n out right next to it and the line was out of the parking lot (insane). That blocks off spots to park but we parked anyway and people were very accommodating.“

“Hella good spot hidden gem in the Inner Sunset! Chicken Katsu is a classic you cannot go wrong with! The portions are beautiful and I wasn't able to finish them, the vibe is comforting with the old school design of the interior. Macaroni Salad was really good here and I'm not a big fan of mac salads in the first place! The service was there, nothing special, but they got the job done and fed me. Will be coming back!“

“Our regular L&L. When we are too lazy to cook, we would ordered the following: mini Bbq chicken or a mini chicken Katsu or mini garlic Basa( yummy) or Spam musubi. These are our favorite. You can’t go wrong with these items. I also order party trays for potluck Christmas luncheon.“

“Wonderful experience while eating here when we visited our son!“

“Amazing fresh food! Huge portions! Chicken katsu & misubi are my go-2 😋 support our local businesses!“

“Yummylicous barnone! Totally recommended 😋👍“

“Amazing Poke bowls (Honolulu is my favourite!) and really great service at the Filmore location :) Bonus for their Facebook page/messaging for their quick response about a lost item!“

“Like all L&L restaurants, they all provide a little (lot) taste of Hawaii. This location is clean, convenient, and friendly. The staff are really helpful in selecting an option and the food here is made quick and fresh. A must stop if you’re craving a little taste of home!“

“Good Service and the quality of food prepared cater for picky person like me. Absolutely 💯 recommended“

“It's hard to describe how great this place is, I have been there twice and this is the valentine day lunch. Notice the little details, tiny mint leaves on one piece, tobiko on another. Everything is fresh and pops with flavor. You can really tell they care about the food they put out. If this was a regular restaurant in Belmont there would be lines out the door every day.“

“I love the Dole whip! It’s great.“

“Well-sized dim sum, quality in the taste and bite.

Har Gao, with water chestnut in filling — a nice textural touch. Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai, chunks of shrimp make for a nice crunch. Steamed Pork Buns, on the sweet side, but meaty with minimal fat.“

“New favorite lunch place on campus! The bowls are always fresh and I enjoy the flexibility with size and ingredient options.“

“I frequent this place because it is nearby and is one of the few places still open later at night past 9pm when I am off work. I like that there is a good balance between the ingredients, and the salmon always tastes fine. I recommend large because that is enough food for 2 meals, so you get a much better deal for a few dollars more.
It's also really nice to be able to use the paper to choose your order, that way there is no anxiety about taking too long to order or holding up a line. I've never even seen a line here, maybe because I come late night.
There's always an empty parking spot or multiple spots right in front, so it's super quick too. I think it's because of how quickly the staff makes the bowls and from how you order by writing on paper, so nobody has to wait long.
The staff always seem pretty nice, friendly, and patient.
So in my frequent times here, I've never had a bad experience.

Parking: We've always been able to park right in front when we come at night.“

“delicious 😋 delicious 😋 delicious 😋“

“Yay for Poke Bowl! They can serve into your own container so you don't generate any trash! Their portions were just fine (I got a medium size order and it filled my largest bowl so glad I did not get the largest one). The woman who made it did a very good job making sure she got everything on my list. I'm really glad they have brown rice and lots of different mix in options. I think she may have forgotten a sauce at the end after she added the Unagi, but it was still very tasty anyway so I did not mind. The atmosphere/decors was pretty flat with some of the front used for storage but the food and service were great!“

“Favorite spot to stop by on my lunch break! Cute little shop by the City Hall building in SF. Owners and workers are always kind, patient, and welcoming! I’ve tried the spicy tuna bowl *$11 ish dollars* and the seafood poke bowl *$12.50* (honey mayo tempura and scallops). Portions are great and toppings and sauces are hefty. I love this spot and couldn’t recommend them more if you’re looking for a spot that’s delicious and decently priced!“
