Hawaiian Restaurants near Des Moines, WA

“I always go to other locations and it’s been awhile since I’ve been back to this one but Sofia attended me and it was the best! Great customer service, friendly, patient, and portion was outstanding! Loved it! I was super hungry and she definitely made me a happy customer! I’ll be back for sure! Thank you!“

“OMG! I just ate a Lilikói shortbread cookie. I found them at Uwajimaya. This is the best cookie ever!!!! Thank you Patrick’s!! 💜“

“Brunch out on the Fourth of July before heading into the day. If we hadn’t been brought here by locals or word of mouth, we never would have found this hidden gem. One family, two shops: Kauai Family Restaurant and Cakes of Paradise (sells coffee and delicious desserts - smashed macaroon was a hit).

One Big Loco Moco and Kalua Pork were “shared” with the Loco Moco winning out; both the gravy and egg yoke meandering through the rice made it a “one more bite and then you can have it” dish. The best kind.

Chill atmosphere, backing tunes present but not overwhelming, friendly staff, and excellent food. What’s not to like?“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“I'm totally hooked to this place to the point I come by almost once a week. The food is absolutely freaking delicious and not only the that the owner is sweet as the sauce glazing the spam Katsu Masubi! You can tell she loves what she does and the rest of the people working behind the scene to make this all happen! 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“The staff member was very kind and provided excellent service. They gave us a lot of great service, and we had a wonderful experience. The kids loved it too. It was the best value meal we had.
They even gave us complimentary food and drink cups. Thank you so much to the owner for your kindness and generosity!“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“This place was awesome, truly, you can definitely tell the quality in the fish and the care they put into their food. The 2 people that worked were super nice, helpful, and welcoming. Atmosphere is laid back, relaxed, a perfect vibe if you wanna just sit down and enjoy some good food. Will definitely be coming back I love this place!“

“We always enjoy L&L. Would recommend to anyone that enjoys something new and a good old hamburger.“

“Fast and friendly service . Very clean restaurant , with good Hawaiian music 🎶 . Food was delicious!! Will most definitely come back .“

“I've had a lot of different poke bowls throughout the south end and I now only go to Green Valley Hanapa'a Poke!! So ONO!! Fish is always fresh & tasty, Mellissa does a wicked Salt & Pepper Chicken (and fish).“

“L&L is one of my favorite places when I’m craving Hawaiian food! 🌺🍍

The BBQ ribs and BBQ chicken are always my go-to, and they never disappoint. 😋🔥 But their Loco Moco is out of this world! The flavors are amazing, and don’t get me started on the salad—OMG, I love it! ❤

If you’re looking for a delicious Hawaiian-style meal, L&L is definitely worth a visit. 🌴🍽 #LLHawaiianBBQ #HawaiianFood #LocoMoco #BBQRibs #BBQChicken #FoodieFavorit“

“Really nice workers! Great food!!“

“L&L saved the day for catering! This was for my dad's memorial service. One medium pan is definitely enough food to feed 24 people. I had 24 people at the event and was unsure about the size so I got medium pan of beef short ribs, a medium pan of bbq chicken, and a medium of rice. There is so much food left over! Anyway, the service was really good and the guy behind the counter brought the box of food out to my car.

Thank you so much!“

“Food as close to being on the Island as you can get. Best mac salad and great atmosphere too!“

“I recently visited Just Poké and had a pretty solid experience overall, with a few small things that kept it from being great.

I started with the Spam musubi, which was honestly one of the highlights of the meal. The Spam itself was soft, flavorful, and really satisfying to bite into. It had that perfect savory-sweet balance you’d hope for. My only critique is that there was a bit too much rice compared to the Spam, which made the ratio feel slightly off. With just a little less rice, it would’ve been spot on.

For the mains, I tried both the Teriyaki Salmon and the Sesame Seared Salmon. The Teriyaki Salmon was very enjoyable — the flavoring was rich and well-balanced without being overwhelming. It paired really nicely with the salad and mac salad that came with it, making for a well-rounded and filling meal.

The Sesame Seared Salmon was also very tasty, especially with the fresh salad. The sesame added a nice texture and flavor that complemented the fish well. That said, the portion size of the salmon felt a bit small. I found myself wishing there was more of it, as it was gone pretty quickly compared to the rest of the dish.

Overall, my experience at Just Poké was decent. The food quality is definitely there, with good flavors and fresh ingredients, but slight adjustments in portion balance would make a big difference. I’d still come back to try more from the menu.“

“My favorite new restaurant I tried for lunch! Every morsel of fish was fresh and the bowl I had (spicy salmon) was delightfully colored with fresh veggies. Outside of the normal sandwich or burger it just feels healthy to eat. Service was friendly! We asked for a tour of our options and the service was excellent. We will be back!“

“My first visit was pleasant. Easy to use self order and pay stations. The poke bowl I ordered had plenty of food and was made with delicious ingredients. I will be visiting again.“

“Love this place and come here all the time. Only issue I’ve had is one of the bigger white lady working there has considerably less service than the rest. She only gave me half a portion of salmon and didn’t offer to make more 2 hours before close. I’ve had nothing but great service other than that.“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

“I always like the burrito and i get to make it how i was fresh every time!“

“I don’t trust just any ole’ Poke before boarding a cross-country flight, but this place completely delivers.

When you’re looking for a fresh, clean, and genuinely healthy option in the terminal, this is easily one of your best choices. The fish is incredibly fresh, the toppings are crisp, and the service is fast enough to keep you moving toward your gate without any stress. It’s light enough that you won’t feel sluggish in transit, but satisfying enough to keep those mid-flight snack cravings at bay.

Skip the heavy fast food and the questionable terminal sandwiches. This is the elite pre-flight meal. Highly recommend!“
