Hawaiian Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

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

“Hawaiian Drive Inn is a good place to get cheap food. The portions they give are so big, mainly because of the rice plus lots of meat, and the food is delicious. I hot the BBQ short ribs plate, and I enjoyed eating it. They only accept cash. The service is friendly. I will certainly be back in the future.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“I ventured the far 15 minute walk from my office to try this place out since it has such high ratings, and honestly wasn’t let down. this place has very fresh and flavorful fish. I usually go to the Benito Poke food truck, but I really like that this establishment is traditional in being able to customize your own bowl. During the lunch rush it was a little overwhelming in the small space and I felt a pressure to move faster since everyone was trying to get lunch, but i needed some time to read all the toppings since it my first time there. The staff was nice to not push me to go faster. I do wish they had a bit more drink selection but overall, the food was delicious and I will be back!“

“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!“

“I ordered the short ribs plate lunch. It was a good amount of food for the price. Great for that meat and carbs "stick to your ribs" kind of meal. The food came out after a few minutes. It was fresh and hot. The service was friendly but not overly so. They put the food in takeaway containers and a bag as the default, which I always think is a bit wasteful, but in this case it was too much food for one meal and I had to take some home anyways. All in all they do the basic Hawaiian plate lunch well and I would back. Next time I'd try the seafood combo or family meal when I am with someone.“

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

“Surprisingly good, great portions. The crew was friendly and interactive I am in the food gameand i always let them remember you in a positive demeanor. Just like the associate's did here at Poke House. Thanks for the positive vibes, great food,and a full stomach. See you soon. Chef Nitty. ???“

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

“I'd say best one in California.

Parking: It's a plaza, the parking are everywhere.

Kid-friendliness: It's a place for Ohana( family) kids included

Wheelchair accessibility: They have special parking for wheelchairs customers, I never used one but I see signs and people using it.“

“I loved this ramen! I got the standard pork ramen and it was fantastic. I struggle finding Japan like ramen in SF and felt this was comparable to the ramen I got in Japan. I was able to walk in on a weeknight and was seated right away. The bowl came out quickly. Great service.

Will definitely return!“

“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.“

“Relatively clean location. Staff were friendly and patient. When I called I to order, the staff who answered provided a very accurate estimate on when food would be ready. Definitely recommend calling ahead of time if you're going to do takeout.“

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

“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!“

“The Poké bowl is one of my favorite meals, and this establishment is hard to beat. The fish and vegetables are fresh, and for a change, start with noodles or greens for a base to avoid the bland rice base. Portions are generous and worth the price. The service is also excellent.“

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

“Yummylicous barnone! Totally recommended 😋👍“

“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!“

“From the moment we entered, we were greeted by warm, welcoming staff who made us feel like family. The service was efficient, and the waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing. The food? Incredible! The kalua pork was tender and full of flavor, and the poke was some of the freshest I’ve had. The ambiance was the perfect blend of relaxing and festive—dim lighting, island music in the background, and beautiful wooden accents throughout. The whole vibe made us feel like we were dining on a tropical beach. Highly recommend!“

“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“

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

“Ordered a tray of Katsu musubi for a party. At first my order time was too early but they gracefully accommodated me. Then when I picked up the order, because they didn’t want to waste the edges they had cut off the chicken katsu, she saved them for me and gave them to me (so tasty!!). 10/10 would come here again for that alone.But the real gem is the food. Far lest salty than that other place across the street (the chain that doesn’t even offer loco moco!!). Got mini dinner pack the night I ordered the musubi and the food is generally better than others in the area.Support a local business and come here instead of that chain. Less expensive and better food. You wont be sorry!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The lady serving me kindly helped me choose gluten free items by crossing them out from the menu as I'm celiac. I had a tune poke bowl and it was very nice. Unfortunately only one of the sauces is gluten free (honey & avocado) but still better than nothing! The ambience is nothing to write home about, more of a take out place.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free available“

“Fresh ingredients, exciting menu with options you won't find anywhere else, and friendly staff that doesn't make you feel stupid while you're trying to figure out how to fit all those delicious options together! It would be nice if they had a liquor license so I could indulge in sakebola with my pokebola but they do have a lot of other beverages to choose from and water is free.“

“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 😋“

“Food is fantastic. I have tried many of their options and not a single thing was short of excellent. Everything is fresh, and the people working are kind. Top that with prices being on the more affordable side, and this place has become one of my favorites!“

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

“The portions were plentiful and delicious, and the clerk was very friendly. The food was very good as it wasn't very salty. Even though I changed the addition several times, he treated me kindly without his face being distorted once. It was so delicious!! suggestion!!“
