Hawaiian Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Masa Ramen BistroStopped off at Masa Ramen Bistro for an early Saturday dinner. Street parking, but it wasn't an issue. Only a handful of people in the restaurant.These are the dishes we ordered in descending order of my preference.Diamond Head - this ramen bowl is legit. Soup is rich and creamy. Noodles have a good chew to them. The flavor is great and you get a nice whole soft boiled egg.Broke the Mouth - we ordered a 3 out of 5 which was spicy but not knock me over spicy. It was kind of interesting with a mountain of shredded parmesan in there. Despite it being tasty, I think my preference would be a straight black garlic version (Kuni).POG - pretty sweet and tropicalDa Kine Chicken - the chicken was well fried and marinated. I don't think there was much seasoning on the breading though. Also thought the pairing with the ponzu sauce was a bit odd.Bruddah Brussels - these were brussel sprout halves, coated with panko and parmesan and fried. Hot and tender in the middle. Just wasn't working for our family and it largely went uneaten. Normally when we're getting fried brussel sprouts, they're crispy, greasy, well-seasoned, and gone faster than the Flash.All in all, I'm always ecstatic when I find a good bowl of ramen in the East Bay. They are just so few and far between. Definitely will come back for that and maybe try out some of the other appetizers.“

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

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

“Located in the old Chinese Express spot (RIP) -- this place is clean and fast! Generous portions, and they have mini plates if you want less food. I imagine it's great for students living around there. Tried it on a whim, as I was really craving some chicken katsu. The only reason I am giving four stars and not five is because the chicken katsu sauce was lose money.... a total miss. It was watery, and didn't taste at all like the ketchup + worcestershire sauce mixture that katsu sauce is supposed to taste like. It was just weird. No big deal -- I just made my own -- but this is a critical part of a chicken katsu plate! Please fix this, Moku BBQ, so that people can properly enjoy chicken katsu. Otherwise, I was satisfied (as satisfied as I can reasonably expect to be, eating "Hawaiian BBQ" anywhere outside of Hawaii). If you're from Hawaii and want to eat katsu, you can get some passable katsu here -- but be prepared to make your own sauce.“

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

“[Delivery] The teriyaki chicken is great, tastes very authentic Hawaiian and not too sweet. Exactly the texture you want for HBBQ. The beef is solid, and not overly fatty. The kahlua pork was good as well, though not as juicy as I'd prefer. In any case, glad to have found this place, and will definitely be ordering the teriyaki chicken again.“

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

“I always come here since they've opened!! The food is always super fresh and tasty!! Lots of flavor made with lots of love!!:) Today I ordered from doordash & we all know doordash can be a bit goofy when it comes to modifying orders... Not an issue when you have awesome people working at this restaurant:) I called to tell them the issue I was having on the app.. I wanted to add-extra macaroni to my order (who doesn't love the macaroni!! I mean come-on it's the best!) the nice lady who I was speaking on the phone with told me not to worry about it; fixed my order and gave me extra macaroni - no extra charge! It's the little things that make me happy and us customers happy! Now I'm happy and full :D“

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

“I did catering here and I'm glad that they open early on a Saturday as well as their online system, was smooth convenient to use. Kalua pork was too dry. If I knew, I would have opted for either crispy shrimp or chicken katsu. I wished that they had pork katsu so I would have ordered pork katsu and get a variety of chicken, beef and pork. BBQ chicken was nicely flavored and tender as well as their BBQ short ribs. They tried to be healthy with cabbage on the bottom and broccoli on each corner. I ate the veggies with the abundant meat. Macaroni salad was on point. Spam musubi and lumpias were added and nice starters. Portions are generous.Recommended spot - especially when feeding a village party!“

“What is there to even say. This place is the template for all great tiki restaurants. Drinks are always perfect. Food is great. The staff is amazing.If some developer ever builds a soulless cement box on this spot, we will all have lost a piece of culture.“

“Dear beautifully lady at the counter: I love you. Not just because you are beautiful...but because you make sure they don't skimp on the extra Mac salad“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem in Oakland! Last week I was craving some Chinese so where did I go? Panda Express of course! lol. I haven't been there in ages and boy oh boy the food was so bland. Sorry Panda! What a disappointment. Fast forward to the weekend and I stumbled across Lucky Chef Chen and this place hit the spot! Shared a meal with a friend of mine and everything was surprisingly good. Chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, broccoli, wow! Staff was very friendly also. Glad this restaurant is a part of the local community serving us delicious food. Support this mom and pop!“

“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!“

“Solid food! Was here before heading to the Honda dealership. Service was nice and speedy. Ordered a chicken teriyaki combo, that came with two scoops of rice, a heart portion of chicken, some broccoli and macaroni. Ambiance is not much to write about, very humble decor. But the food is a hit!“

“Update: "$20-30" is inaccurate/misleading. For 2, you can expect to spend $110 after tax and tip if you get one of their combos. The crab/shrimp/clam combo is $80.Excellent crab/clams/shrimp Cajun combo. Even mild was quite spicy. Gave me a HUGE stomach ache the next morning (due to the spice) but I still want to go back. Will just have to take some Tums/Pepto.Vegetarian options: Definitely avoid this place if you are vegetarian“

“TLDR: fair prices, good quality and lots of topping choicesI got a medium bowl for $15 after tax and the quality of the salmon and crab were really good, there are a lot of topping choices and are mostly free. I would definitely come back for another poke bowl from … poke bowl“

“TLDR: small takeaway spot with lots of choices (though confusing what is for free and what isn’t)I got a small poke bowl and the flavors of the poke were very good. For half and half, there could be a little more rice and the service sizes of poke are a bit too small. Also they charge for seaweed salad which basically no poke spots do.All in all, flavor is good but size of portion is a bit small. Also best for the servers not to have AirPods in their ears, doesn’t seem professional.“
