The Island decor…read moreall throughout the inside and different outdoor areas makes you forget you in the city for a moment and transport you right into a Hawaiian state of mind. We were on the area early so we can to take advantage of happy hour specials. We tried the Kalua pork sliders, Teriyaki chicken plate with pineapple coleslaw and Mac salad, coconut shrimp, and musubi. All food was ready before we even finished getting our drinks, which was good sine we were hungry. We also opt to get a couple of nice souvenir shirts. Very impressed by the setting Breakers restaurant offers and we're sure to come back

You have to place your orders at counter (so I'm constantly getting up). Food was just basic, nothing I would order again. Musubi was cold. Chicken teriyaki was just basic, and my wife ordered the poke bowl (which she enjoyed) I know they have a cool vibe and live music. But overall I'm disappointed.

Oh how I miss the National City location! Right before my…read morevisit, I just left my dental office to get a temporary crown and by the time I finished there, it was lunch time! I prefer Homestyle Hawaiian over L&L. And since it's been years that the National City location has closed- I finally came to another location. Since I just had my temporary crown installed and half of my face was still numb from the local anesthesia- I was craving something filling, something homemade, and soft to chew. I've been craving a Loco Moco and just didn't wanna make one myself. It's a no frills dining area. Booth bench that stretches an entire wall and chairs. The fresh made beef patty, lightly seasoned was big and juicy. Simple gravy with sautéed mushrooms and onion slivers. Wish the onions were grilled a bit more, than served raw. Since this is a lunch plate meal- you'll get a scoop of white steamed rice & creamy Mac & cheese salad (with that lil tang of apple cider vinegar). I didn't realize the patty was sitting on top of more rice - thank gawd! LOL. And the egg yolk was nice and runny to slop up all the yum yums in. Washed it down with a lilikoi lemonade.

Cute place! First time trying any form of Hawaiian BBQ. Service was quick and staff was very nice!…read more Pork was delicious! I'm very picky with meat textures and there were very minimal fatty pieces. Was never afraid to take a bite. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There's no real saucy thing to it so a bit dry since i didn't add anything but not the meat at all just like the meal. Sweet potatoes were great. I wouldn't really rave over them but fs good. Just a grilled sweet potato with salt and pepper. Really good. Poke was good. Sister thinks it could have had more edamame beans but had a lot of the protein which was good! Beef meal was amazing!!! Cousin had this and she said it was melt in your mouth good. Pineapple mint vs hibiscus lemonade: Cousin like the hibiscus better definetly tart but really good.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not usually a big ahi fan and so I tend to avoid going to poke places that…read moredon't have salmon as an option but this place has definitely changed my mindset. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the poke plate with half spicy ahi and shoyu ahi. The price was a bit steep at around $25 but when I tell you, I completely demolished it within 10 mins... I got it to go but it smelled so good that I had to eat it in my car still parked right in front LOL. The ahi doesn't have an irony taste like other ahi I've tried from some other places. I think I definitely prefer the shoyu flavor though! I'm definitely coming back and bringing my boyfriend to try the other plates they offer!

Spam musubi was just OK and felt like you could definitely make it at home versus the 4.50 you'd spend. Service OK nothing outstanding because it felt more like a café than a restaurant and it makes sense because there was no inside seating. They have outdoor seating which was nice. Love the decor and the story behind this place. I decided to come here for my birthday and it was a nice treat because I was looking for more Hawaiian spots in San Diego. The mac & cheese was great I wish as a side they added more furike seasoning on the rice. Again, these are just small changes but overall the food is great solid and everything tasted delicious.

Both times we dined in and both times our food came out cold. We waited for a while before they brought out our food so we assumed they were making it fresh. My husband and I shared the Katsu mixed plate. The food was not hot at all. The katsu was not Krispy. The meat and rice were warm. I thought the food was made to order. It seems as if they kept it under a warming light. We will give it one last try.

I didn't end up eating the scoop of rice, for me it felt like an afterthought on the plate. The nut latte was delicious as well.

We arrived during breakfast time and ordered the BLT bagel and Hilo Loco Moco. The loco moco was really unique to me because the burger patty, gravy, and eggs were served over a spicy Portuguese sausage fried rice. The fried rice had a good, slightly sticky texture, which I liked. The gravy was tasty, and the over-easy egg made the dish creamy once the yolk mixed in. The patty was thick but personally, I would've preferred it thinner. Overall, it was delicious but very heavy. I was kind of over it halfway through. The BLT bagel was pretty tasty. I got it on an onion bagel, which was soft and chewy. I liked that every bite had bacon and it was even topped with two extra pieces. It also came with a scoop of mac salad, which was just okay. The cafe serves coffee, tea, and other drinks, but they don't have any sugar-free or low-sugar options, not even diet soda, so I just stuck with water. Customer service was just okay. I'm used to the super welcoming, family vibe at other Hawaiian spots I've been to, and I didn't really get that here. The staff came off a bit unfriendly.

We did a group order from here at work and I saw poke nachos featured on their front page. When I…read morewent to order through their website, I couldn't find them listed anywhere. My coworker ended up calling in and was able to order it, so that worked out. The wonton chips were crunchy and held up well. The poke tasted fresh and not fishy or old, which I always appreciate. Overall it hit the spot. I ended up finding the restaurant on Uber Eats and saw they actually have the poke nachos listed there. I ordered it that way, but noticed there weren't any options to add extra toppings. From the first time we ordered, I remember the seaweed and crab were on the lighter side, so I wish they had an option to add more online. I called to see if I could add extra, but ended up deciding not to, due to pricing differences. When I my order was delivered, they included it for me anyway, which I appreciated. That was really nice of them. The poke nachos were good. I just wish they would add a little more seaweed and crab or at least give the option to add more of it online. Regardless, I will be back when I'm craving poke nachos again.

I came here last year. I liked the food and wanted to come back sometime…read more Fast forward to today, I called in for a pickup order. Both employees, over the phone and at the restaurant seemed like they did not want to be there at all. I went with a lava chicken plate and teri chicken plate. The rice was very mushy as if they added too much water. There was random pieces of beef in my chicken plate and some parts of the chicken appeared to be under cooked. I know chicken thigh meat can be slightly red but this just looks undercooked. My order did not come with any napkins or utensils. I have been to one of the other HH locations and did not expect to be disappointed.
