Food is delicious and price feels very justified considering how good their portions are, they hook you up for sure! I get takeout from here a lot but everything is THAT much better eaten fresh, plus the ambience is pretty cozy and the Hawaiian music is always a nice touch. If I wanna get lunch with somebody Da Coconut Cafe is one of the first to be considered! Service is alright, but be aware they skimp on sauces if you want extra, other than that I'm probably a regular by now and they've never disappointed in any other regard. 100% recommend read more

used to be a fan -- but recently the food is subpar. got the chicken katsu plate (chicken katsu was fine) but just pretty expensive for what it is. chicken katsu rice & mac salad. what was really disappointing was the malasadas. we got chocolate and hopia, but there was absolutely zero filling in them (see picture) and only a dab of filling on the top of each malasada :(. service was normal and very large interior. read more

Prices seem a little high, but you get a TON of food! My boyfriend and I ordered the Kanak Attack as an instead-of-dinner snack. We couldn't come close to finishing it! While it tasted good, I'm glad we chose to dine in. Like other reviews mentioned, food is served in plastic takeaway containers, so any fried food gets mushy fast. But there's plenty of seating to stay and eat while it's hot! read more

Everything that L & L Hawaiian isn't. Starting with polite and friendly. L & L 'don't like haoles' Coconut seems genuinely interested in how I like the food. The food itself is authentic, and flavorful. Nice people ! And, they seem to understand haoles !... read more

Atmosphere was nice and clean. Big space for large parties. Food taste was good however portions were small.

I've been meaning to check out this place, but never had the time. Finally, my son and I went during the week and we got the whole entire place to ourselves! They have a variety of different dishes that you can order from. I opt for the barbecue plate and their poké with the house sauce. They also have a cute little coffee stand that you can order coffee from. My son love the barbecue plate and the side of french fries that I had gotten for him. read more

Large dining area with additional party rooms. Ordered at the counter and food will be packed in plastic boxes for dine in...saves on cost of having a dishwasher or providing plastic plates and then to-go boxes. From our first visit we'd recommend the loco moco (go double for $5 more), Hawaiian plate, kalua pork sandwich, and spam musubi. Staff was happy to provide paper sharing plates during our dine-in experience. High back bench booths make for comfortable cozy eating. read more

Saw the menu and that they had items you usually don't see often at other Hawaiian food places so we decided to give them a try. Pretty big place with plenty of seating and really clean. I decided to get the Hawaiian plate, which is sort of a sampler mix, and my wife got the BBQ mix plate. Also ordered a malasada & some fried poi mochi (this was unique& tasty if you like mochi). Food came out fresh and hot, and portions were very good. We had leftovers. We both enjoyed the food and everything was delicious. We want to come back and try their breakfast menu. read more

Had a late lunch with my sisters on our way to Pechanga. I ordered the Vegan Jackfruit plate. It came with a vegetable egg roll, one scoop of white rice, a scoop of macaroni salad and a generous portion of jackfruit. The egg roll was freshly fried, and the Mac salad was creamy, cold and refreshing! Sadly, the jackfruit was...meh. I expected the jackfruit to have more flavor but tasted like it was straight out of the can. I added some of my sisters gravy to my dish and It eliminated the "canned" flavor, all it needed was a little spice and it would have been perfect! Service was ok, we ordered at the counter, was given a pager and seated ourselves. The girl at the register didn't speak much or even greet us...just took our orders and that was pretty much it. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating as well as an outdoor patio and banquet rooms. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally got to have lunch here. The restaurant is clean, with island decor, and ample booth & table seating. In addition to breakfast all day, they have the typical Hawaiian plate lunches . I ordered the lechon fried pork belly plate, which included two scoops of rice and mac salad. The pork was cut up into perfect bite sized pieces, and not too greasy. I would've liked it to be more crispy but was delicious nonetheless. It also came with a side of sauce with onion & tomato, which was a perfect compliment to the dish. Will be back when in the area to try the loco moco! read more

I've lived in Murrieta for a few years now and have been looking for a good spot for teriyaki chicken. Food was delicious. Parents got a mixed plate and they loved it. We shared the fries with kahlua and they were delicious. Definitely the best teriyaki chicken I've had since I moved out this way. read more

The food was delicious Best I've had in cali! The portion sizes are ok not Hawaiian style portions but American portions! The service was very Hawaiian aloha friendly! We went during their vendor fair and there was hula dancers and music! It felt like being in Hawaii Aloha! Oh yeah the Katsu sauce... well out it like this! I've traveled the world and this is yet the best Katsu sauce around. Mahalo read more

SO GOOD! If you enjoy those uniquely Hawaiian flavors, Da Coconut Cafe is a must visit in town. They have all the expected Hawaiian cuisine but I highly recommend the teriyaki chicken and the chicken katsu. So packed with flavor and very juicy. Really excellent choice. Rice is rice but their sauce adds a nice sweetness and you can kick it up yourself with some sauce (also recommend!). My son even ate his food and he's a particularly picky eater. It's located in the Staters Bros parking lot on Temecula Pkwy so it's easy to access and there's plenty of parking. Absolutely worth the price and oh so yummy! read more

In my never ending quest to find good spam musubi, I stumbled across this place on yelp while driving to San Diego. I want to return and try other items from the menu at a later time when I am hungry for a full meal as the food in this place looked very good. Spam musubi: 3.5 stars. Spam Musubi is a comfort food that reminds me so much of my grandmother. Most Japanese/pacific islander people know what good spam musubi is and most know that the best is made at home. The folks here at Da Coconut Cafe make a good musubi, but it would have been better if they added a type of teriyaki sauce or something. Musubi is typically made with rice, seared spam, a smear of teriyaki / sweet sauce all wrapped in crispy nori. The Spam Musubi at Da Coconut cafe is sans teriyaki sauce. All it needs is just a thin layer of sweet sauce to compliment the savory umami flavor of the seared spam and the salty nori. Unfortunately this musubi although cooked properly (rice was good, spam perfect texture) was lacking this much needed sweetness - just a little goes a long way. Perhaps they serve their sauce on the side, but I was not offered any. Will I come back? yes. I'll give this place another try and sit down to eat a lunch or dinner dish. Stay tuned for an update... read more

1st time customer!!!!! Jay customer service is above expectations!!! Great service, will return! Jay is a knowledgeable communicator regarding the food and catering! Thanks so much read more

When we walked in, it felt so cozy and peaceful. There's a bunch of different options, I went with the breakfast combo and my boyfriend got the combo plate with Kalua pork and teriyaki chicken. We also shared the Kanak fries because they sounded SO good. And they were amazing. Our food was brought to our table. Which I was surprised about because I thought we were waiting for our name to be called, which was sweet. Everything was so good. Please try the pork, I don't usually like pork but this was sooo delicious. And the Attack fries had so much flavor, and none of the fries were soggy. We will definitely be back even though we live 40 mins away, it's worth it. read more

We love Da Coconut Cafe for authentic island vibes. Super nice staff, make you feel like family. Mac salad needs more flavor, have to add our own salt every time. Kahlua Pork, Katsu, Short Ribs read more

The male staff was very knowledgeable and kind; kudos to him. Definitely felt the Hawaii vibes with the decorations. Only thing is that I'm a bit disappointed with the lumpia since I got Vietnamese egg rolls instead. Please understand what lumpia is and not sell incorrect items. I myself am Filipino and never have I ever had lumpia filled with noodles and vegetables and rolled them out fat. Just change the name and it'll be cultural appropriate. Also didn't get sauce for my lumpia and if you know, lumpia sauce is different from egg roll sauce. On the other hand, I also ordered spicy mayo and house poke. Absolutely delicious! And probably the only thing I'd come here for. Has the right mix of flavors. Wished that they would put more poke for the rice to fish ratio and the price. Next time I'll just order poke and rice only and not have it come with all the stuff. Overall, I recommend poke. read more

Had lunch here, the food was delicious and the service was great. Will be coming again :)

My mother decided she wanted to try this place out as it offered more than Ono Hawaiian BBQ. So, we met up there after church. Inside was very spacious and a little dark because of the dark furniture and walls. There was some decoration and lights to lighten up the room, but not a lot. There were also a couple of private rooms for events. Service was good and the lady who helped us was nice. The food was good. The kalua pork in the Kanak Attack Fries was tender and had a smoky flavor to it. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice. So, the spicy mayo was a little above my spice threshold, but still good. The fries alone were average. I really liked the lechon kawali plate. The lechon was crispy and the fat melted in your mouth. It was a tad salty given how the lechon was cut into really small pieces. The macaroni salad was disappointing because there was no flavor. It seemed like they just tossed the macaroni and some shredded carrots into a bowl of mayo and mixed without any seasonings. The passion fruit smoothie was a little tart, but really good and refreshing. I'll definitely be back in the future to maybe try some other items and hopefully a better batch of macaroni salad. read more

Very good! I crave this place even the day after getting it. Interior decor is cool, service is nice, and the chicken katsu is amazing.

Food is great and the staff is always pleasant and welcoming. The best teriyaki burger in town and the only place I've ever considered ordering SPAM and it's fantastic read more

Best Hawaiian food hands down. You need to try this place. Food is awesome. I've tried a few locations and this is the best, bar none.

Ordered to go. Ordered salmon and it was overly salty. I couldn't eat it. Mac salad was yummy. Poke was good but a little salty. Not too salty when ate with spicy mayo. Chicken was good. read more

Highly recommend. Our favorite Hawaiian spot. We've eaten lots of Hawaiian food- had lots of options being from LA. But this place delivers quality eats, and good vibes with great prices. We crave Da Coconut. We are now proud regulars. read more

Um...conflicted bro. We ordered garlic shrimp and the loco moco. The shrimp was definitely a thicc boi but I felt like it needed more GARLIC. As far as the loco moco goes, the patty was well seasoned and definitely 10/10. Gravy was hitting too. I will deduct HEAVY points on the mac salad. Not sure how you go from passable Hawaiian food to some neighborhood Karen mac salad. Is it edible? Yeah. Is there flavor? Nah. It's like they seasoned EVERYTHING but the salad. Solid 3.5. If the mac salad ain't slappin, the Island vibe isn't happenin. read more

Service is friendly. The space in this place is huge, clean, and doesnt smell. You could Possibly host a party inside if you wanted to. Lechon plate is salty. I couldn't finish it. Pork is already salty, maybe ease down on the seasoning. I wouldn't get it again. read more

Love this place, they're cute and give me a little comfort from Hawaii. Their menu is not too big and good options are available. Their guava smoothie yummy too!

Driving around running errands in Temecula, I had a hankering for spam musubi. I remembered there are a few Hawaiian Bbq & Poke restaurants that has this on their menus. Since we were headed to Walmart out there, this was conveniently on the way. Good choice, the spam musubi's were yummy & not over cooked like some places unfortunately do. The malasadas looked good and the service was fast and friendly! They have a little selection of Hawaiian goodies - cookies, sauces, etc & souvenirs. I'll be back to try more dishes:) read more

The food was amazing-delicious-all of the above-met all flavor pallets expectations for Hawaiian BBQ. The cashier was friendly and helped me picked out the right meal for me.

When you want it done right and to your liking, it may be best to do it yourself. This was a disaster failure, a saddening letdown, and an utter waste of $22.00 on Thursday, November 14, 2024. The Hawaiian Plate was disgusting, repulsive, and sickening. The plate's one saving grace was the Lau Lau. Everything else - I had one bite and spit it out. The Haupia - vile. The Poi - repugnant. The Lomi Lomi Salmon - nasty. The Rice - loathsome. The Mac Salad - horrific. The Kalua Pork - awful. I am never driving from Rainbow, Pala, Pauma, or Valley Center ever again to eat here. A FULL ZERO-STAR COLLAPSE! read more

I have frequented this place for a while now because of their exceptional poke bowls. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, When I came in today to make my usual order I asked for some sauce on the side, as I usually do, and to my dismay they wanted to charge me for that. They went through the effort of keying in 0.54 for two sides of spicy mayo whose combined volume was barely enough to satisfy the thought of spicy mayo let alone the physical taste. Needless to say, I was taken aback. I don't care about the cost obviously, it's about the message being sent to customers: penny pinching. Not generosity. It's not unreasonable to expect a side of sauce to be given free of charge that is the status quo. The meal itself is tainted with the bad mood I now have and is no longer enjoyable. Do better. This is sad. read more

Delicious malasadas and pineapple coconut shakes! The beef short ribs and macaroni salad were bland. The beef needs to be marinated longer and I added salt to the macaroni salad, which was a quick fix. Friendly service. Authentic food and ambiance. Feels like you're in Hawaii when you're inside, lol. read more

It's a taste of Hawaii in the desert. Casual atmosphere, we enjoyed our meals while watching college football playing trivia games. Kids enjoyed their meals and appreciated the fact that they could have the sauce on the side. Kahlua Pork was moist and flavorful. Chicken Katsu was equally delicious. Nice to be able to enjoy a beer with our meals. Staff was welcoming and accommodating to our kids finicky needs. read more

When it comes "Hawaiian" food I am a pretty tough cridic because I used to live in Hawaii. Most of the Hawaiian food restaurants here on the mainland are pretty much like L & L. What I mean by this the menu pretty much teriyaki this and that and I get it because they are catering to what the majority of people expect Hawaiian food to be. I've heard of Da Coconut Cafe through the Hawaiian music community because they have traditional Hawaiian music artists play there time to time. The restaurant is a good size a perfect venue for a decent size music gathering. They also have private banquet rooms if you want to book for a party or business meeting. Now for the food, for what it is it is good. The kalbi ribs were tender and not too much fat. the chicken katsu was lightly breaded, the chicken was tender and the serving portions is a good amount. I wasn't very impressed with their teriyaki chicken. It didn't seem like they marinated it long enough because there wasn't a lot of teriyaki flavor, nor was there any glaze to it. I was surprise that they offered lau lua. My wife ordered it, but they asked her to choose another entre because it wasn't thawed out. I'm not hold it against them for it being frozen, I don't think you could or would find anyone on the mainland to have fresh lau lau. If you're not familiar what laulau is you'll have to look it up. Props to them for having haupia filled malasadas!!! So in conclusion, did it remind me of Hawai'i, no, but the food was good. read more

Whoever designed this place can be proud. Relaxed island feel. Less sauce and more flavor with better quality ingredients. The teriyaki chicken and spam musubi I had was delicious . Thank you! read more

Just a great little spot in Temecula, the food is fresh & delicious, the staff is friendly. If I could, I'd eat here more often.

Spam musubi was not good at all, the rice was mushy and the Mac salad tasted like nothing. And prices are so high for bad quality food
