Hawaiian Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“Our goto special burger place“

“Buddha Brudda has been my initial and favorite Hawaiian food experience. I'm in love with the macaroni salad, I always want extra. The servings are large and worth coming back to later for another meal. The food tastes so good. I'll be getting it again soon for sure.“

“Delicious poke for a great price, staff was super knowledgeable about gluten free options and very friendly and helpful!

Dietary restrictions: All dietary restrictions were clearly marked on the sauce menu, staff was very knowledgable about which things were gluten free and made sure to keep gluten items away from our food“

“I should've known that if musubi is in their name and logo, to stick with the musubi through and through. Spectacular flavor all around regarding the musubi, but the poke? A slight disappointment which didn't even taste as fresh as your staples like FOB can be“

“My favorite poke place by far! The macaroni salad is not something I would have ever thought like bowls needed but it's the stuff dreams are made out of.

Parking: Looks like parking is prohibited for the month of November 2024“

“Side quest for Hawaiian food is always comforting, and Kauai Family Restaurant is the spot for it. They’ve got all your Hawaiian favorites on the menu. I ordered a couple of the combos and some katsu—everything was solid. Some items were a bit on the salty side for my taste, but still enjoyable. It wasn’t too busy when I went, so the food came out pretty quick. The vibes inside really made you feel like you were in Hawaii. Definitely check their hours before you go, since they’re mostly open just for lunch and early afternoon.“

“This has always been my time favorite restaurant in Seattle! I love that I can order some fish tacos or tortas to-go, especially in the summer when it’s just so pleasant to eat outside. I love the fusion of Mexican, Asian, and Pacific Islander cultures in the food because it represents the cultures in Seattle, especially south end.“

“The food is very good And they give you very good service but they are doing something very wrong with the employees. I have friends who work there and say that the tips left by customers are not given to the workers. If customers leave tips, they would have to make sure where the money they make with that money goes. They would have to talk to industrial labor so that they report that they do not want to give them that money. some do not speak for fear of losing their job but it is not fair what they do in that place with the workers“

“We used Buddha Brudda catering for our wedding at Treehouse Point in July 2025. Not only were Drea and the entire team incredibly easy to work with leading up to the day, but the food was FANTASTIC, and the whole dinner service and bartending staff were so kind and accommodating the day of.

We worked with Drea to customize a menu that fit our needs, which included family-style service instead of buffet, which worked beautifully for our small group of 20 guests. We also opted for pre-dinner appetizers (charcuterie cones, egg rolls, etc) and late-night snacks (sliders, mac salad cups) for our overnight guests, which everyone LOVED!!

Keep in mind they do not do linens, plates/cutlery (beyond bamboo/plastic) or glassware, but were extremely accommodating by picking up/dropping off our rental order from a nearby events company. It was a HUGE help and one less thing for us to arrange.

Our guests absolutely loved the food - all of the appetizers, dinner, late night snacks, and on-the-fly sangria the bartender made with wine/tea/lemonade was fantastic.

I highly recommend Buddha Brudda for your catering needs if you want a relaxed, yummy, yet elegant dining experience!“

“Amazing food and vast serving !!! I totally enjoyed the experience.“

“They had a 2 for $4.99 deal on spam musubi, which is exactly what I needed at 10:30pm on a Thursday night. Salty and sweet from the teriyaki glaze on the spam, it was great. It’s a nice place to hang out, with a couple retro game consoles to play. I will definitely be coming back to try their ramen and rice bowls too. Being just a few steps away from the light rail stop is very convenient.“

“I felt so strongly that I had to leave a review, I've eaten here once, and I had the katsu burger, which has TWO KATSU PATTIES, which was awesome. I'm usually a fan of the mountain of lettuce shreds but for the price? That was so worth it.“

“I recommend if you haven't gone go to the archive spot it's beautiful in the summer to sit outside with the killer view of downtown Seattle but this time I went to the Columbia City one and the food is exactly the same really good haven't been there in a while and it makes me wonder why I wait so long to go back because their food is great always consistent always delicious“

“Very good poke. Fresh and they had all the things I like to add in. We will go back.“

“Love the food! They prepare it so nicely! The spicy tuna is always fresh and delicious. Met the owner Ticky and she is the best! So inviting and very nice. Parking is actually free for 2 hours in the back parking garage if you can’t find parking on the street. I’ll definitely be coming back! A+ service and food.“

“This place has such a good variety. They have build your own bowls and prebuilt ones to choose from. The staff was super friendly and answered any questions I had. They are super quick and pack everything up tightly for travel. I definitely recommend stopping in and trying a bowl.“

“I've been a weekly customer since this location opened a few years ago, so I'm long overdue for this review. I can confidently say that this is the best Just Poke in the greater Seattle metro area. First and foremost, the staff are extremely friendly and courteous. Their lunch rush occurs in the heart of the biggest corporate building in Seattle, and they always handle it with kindness and efficiency. I usually order the build-your-own bowl, and I can't recall a single time I've had issues with my order as they were making it. The portions are more than enough for a filling lunch. The ingredients always taste fresh, and I can tell that the staff take extra care to maintain a clean kitchen, reflected in the food quality. Compared to other Just Poke locations in Seattle, the Columbia Tower location is just a step above. I've got no complaints, and I look forward to continue being a loyal customer for years to come!“

“Good stuff!“

“Excellent sushi. Great and fast staff with easy menu on app ordering.“

“Amazing food and vast serving !!! I totally enjoyed the experience.“

“Ordered my short ribs which came with the Mac salad. The food was amazing and the Mac salad was great! Highly recommend this place and will surely be back.“

“Easy to reach and quick to serve Poke Alice is a great spot to grab some lunch.

I got the Aloha Crunch and it was the perfect amount of food for a satisfying meal while also tasting pretty awesome.

Would definitely go back to try other things on the menu!“

“Very tasty poke at an affordable price! I really love the protein options here, they are very fresh and consistently delicious. There are a wide variety of toppings and I appreciate how much the workers pack into one bowl. For sure one of my favorite spots for poke.“

“My wife and I have been coming here for years and it’s our favorite poke spot. The fish is almost always spot on and the one time it wasn’t, they made sure to remediate the situation without any hassle. Most of the staff are friendly, but special kudos to Leo for going above and beyond with his customer service!“

“We just stopped in for drinks, but the food looked amazing. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and cool decor.“

“I had the evergreen bowl and it was wonderful!“
