This is my go-to when I'm too lazy to cook and I need to get my protein in! Hana Kitchen has been my favorite for getting rice bowls with any kinds of protein. My personal favorite is their beef option but if I need to be on the healthier side, I'll do chicken. Their sauces are also amazing! My favorite is their spicy mayo because it's the perfect balance of creamy and spicy. If you need a quick protein fix, this is your spot! read more

This is the weirdest review I've ever written. I placed an order for pickup. I get there and not a single staff member would acknowledge my presence or look me in the eye. After waiting 15+ minutes for any interaction at all I finally gave up and left. I will not be coming back. read more

Hana kitchen on State Street in Goleta is a cute tea shop that serves light bites and soups. I ordered a guava milk tea with boba. I thought the milk tea was pretty good not too sweet. What I loved was the generous heap of tapioca bubbles. The service was pretty good too. I thought the store was clean. read more

I ordered 2 bobas and got charged 8 dollars for it but he only gave me one. So then I ordered another but then it as 4?? I asked the guy but he said he didn't charge for the boba the 2nd time. I was so confused bc it was a drastic change. Never got a refund for the 1st boba but the boba was good at least read more

I came for the vegan food but was told they don't have anything vegan or vegetarian - nothing at all.

New customers: SPICY MAYO & TERIYAKI!! If you aren't adding this in your bowl, then you won't understand why the locals love this place so much! It's quick, easy and there's so many forms of rewards. It's a chicken rice bowl with vegetables. That's it. The sauces is what makes it unique. read more

Menu online is not accurate. They are one of the only restaurants on the block that opens early and early is 10:30 lol. When I walked in I wasn't greeted. I asked the cashier about the dim sum and she said they only had teriyaki stuff. I made my decision to leave, but overall they were very dismissive and irritable that I even asked about dim sum. Update the menu read more

i ordered the spicy chicken bowl 7/15/26 to take to work. when i heated it up for dinner it was so salty almost unbearable to eat! i also asked for less rice and more veggies. there were 2 broccoli pieces, cabbage, and tons of rice very disappointing. would not order this again. no picture attached. read more

They no longer have vegan options. They removed the vegan "chicken" and vegan "beef" from their menu

I ordered the chicken and vegetable bowl. The rice and chicken were sort of OK, but virtually no vegetables. I ended up feeling a bit unwell after. Don't think I'll order ever again. read more

Been a customer here for years, used to be the most affordable place to eat in all of SB. Food is still great but the prices have gone up quite a bit in the past few years, which is honestly understandable. Service is almost always blazing fast and smooth. read more

Good Hawaiian fusion place. The chicken bowl was loaded and really filled me up. The guava slushee was not good. It was very fake and processed and I would assume the rest are like that. Don't get the slushee, but the bowls are good. Overall it's not the best place I have been to and many other better places in Santa Barbara, but it gets the job done if you need a quick bite to eat over lunch. We sat outside which has great seating and shade. Service is non existent as you order from a counter and pick up yourself. read more

Savory, simple, and comforting all in one bowl. Paired great with their mango slush! Service was quick and easy! Just ordered at the counter and had my food in hand within minutes. read more

Vegan??? I asked about where they cook the meat substitute and I was promptly told on the same grill as the animal products. I asked because I could see the staff cleaning the grill with a brush, and getting ready to put my order on the grill. No thanks!!! They should disclose this type of information. I immediately went over to Rascal's Vegan. Great food and service at Rascal's. read more

We came in and I noticed they'd made some changes. They don't have their prices on the large menu. Now they have it on a little menu on the side. Their movie selection was a lot better, they had a Selena movie on. Their little bar with the toppings and sauces is now by the door when you exit. I ordered the vegan chicken mini bowl. Their vegan chicken tacos are delicious. read more

Fantastic sweet and sour chicken tacos, clean dining area and fast service. Great go-to lunch spot

They've got my order wrong the last 3 times that I have ordered from this place. At this point I feel like the ability to read is not a requirement to work here and that they can't get an order right. read more

stopped by to get some boba, ordered a green tea and a slush. there weren't many customers, but we waited easily 15 minutes for the two drinks. the cashier spoke very little english and assured me my drink was green tea even though i watched her make it with black tea. the taste was poor and bland, the boba was fine, the jelly was gross. i won't be back. read more

Great service and great food! The flavors were amazing! I really enjoyed the owner as he really made us feel welcome

Dawg do not go here unless you want to be blowing up your toilet chicken is raw and flavor less sure it's a bang for its buck but most of the times it's not even cooked fully read more

First time and definitely going back! Javier, cashier, was the best at accommodating a new customer and having professional service. food was amazing and the ambiance was very fitting. Would recommend to any newbies in the area and if you want some solid food. read more

Food smells like poop and the restaurant has the stench of a nuclear chemical plant. Absolute dog water. Had the runs for 2 days right after I ate here. Stay away. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Goleta!! They have the best beef bowl with rice and veggies! I ALWAYS get take out here when I visit Goleta. And I always get it with a mango slush with boba! Their boba is sooo good. I 100% recommend this place! They changed ownership and recently got a remodel! If you're doing takeout, place the order online! It's easy read more

Ordered off UberEats after a concert; first time visiting SB. They were closing 45mins to when I placed my order. EVERYTHING I ATE WAS GREAT! "Super" Chicken bowl filled me up . Tried two of their regular tacos which were delicious. And a chicken stick, which is a teriyaki chicken kebab that was GREAT (like 1.5"x1.5" not like chicken satay at a Thai place ; CHONKS of meat haha). Got the blueberry slush boba, which had me thinking from the name and boba straw that there'd be boba in it - no ): maybe it's cuz I didn't select one of the three, I presumed add-ons/flavored boba.. so that's on me and misleading name but eh, still tastes great:) Shame I live down in San Diego county - would love to dine here. UberEats and this restaurant fulfilling my order 45mins before close and for everything to taste good - AWESOME. Good job, yall read more

I love this joint! I think of Hana when you want just a satisfying, savory, wholesome bowl late- night or suffering a hang over. I always would get their Super Chicken Bowl. I crave their bowls and always make sure I get their condiments: Side pickles, that heavenly orange colored sauce!! I usually would get the Large Super Chicken Bowl. The Chicken would consistently be hot and the vegetables were really fresh. Thejr boba is pretty good too and pairs well with the bowl read more

I've been coming to this place for years now, it has never let me down! Don't expect fine dining here, or an incredible ambiance, but this gem is found in the heart of Santa Barbara's State St. There are few options on the menu, makes it really simple to order & there is a menu of boba tea/slushes as well. The food is so filling for the value of the portions and the price point. A Super (size) bowl is just shy of $15, but I shared a bowl with my sister and we were both full and satisfied because the quality of the food is great, you can also add toppings to your bowl which I always do. A good amount of green onion, spicy mayo, and some fire pickled cucumbers, and of course some Sriracha. The service is great, too many entitled people happen to review this place and expect some sort of Michelin star quality food when in reality this is a great spot to grab lunch or dinner any day, especially for take out and on a budget and you can even make it vegan. I will never stop coming to this place even though it's an hour drive from me and they are one of the few boba spots on state street ! read more

YUMMMMM! You do not need to get the big size unless you're sharing. They do not skimp out on the small! Totally full and I went crazy for the sauces they have for free next to the pick up area. It was a great and quick stop. I'd highly suggest! read more

Pretty good food with great plant based/ vegan options! I have been eating here for the past few years as it was one of the first restaurants in the area to offer a vegan meat option. They offer outdoor seating which was nice. The tacos are okay, it just didn't taste like they had a lot of sauce/seasoning on them. read more

Hana kitchen has a super basic menu and you get a decent amount of food for the price. I only give it 3 stars because they don't seem to be super knowledgeable about allergies (gluten specifically) and if you have allergies you basically just have to get bare bones chicken + rice. They didn't have any sauces that could accommodate a gluten allergy (all had soy sauce or flour in them including the spicy Mayo) Despite only being able to order a pretty basic bowl, the regular size is HUGE and easily was 2+ meals so I did like how much food you get for under $15. I used my own sauce at home to give it some flavor which made it way better. A good cheap option, best for those without food allergies. read more

I was craving boba in the State Street area and decided to satisfy my craving here (there weren't many options in the area). It smelled so good when I walked in, definitely teriyaki smells. For food, they sell various bowls (chicken, beef, or vegan) and tacos (teriyaki mango & spicy sweet and sour) at an affordable prices. Lots of seats/tables available inside. PARKING: Free parking for 75 mins nearby in the structures. Each hour or part of an hour after the initial 75 minutes is $1.50. Metered street parking also available, which can be free oftentimes later in the evening. For drinks, they offer milk tea (green or black), slushies/iced teas/snow, and ice milk. Toppings include boba (should write "honey boba" for clarity) and jelly (not sure which one) for an additional 50 cents. GREEN MILK TEA: Their boba drink sizes remind me of Half and Half's. I ordered this drink at half sugar, less boba, and less ice. I would probably get 25% sugar next time because their boba is honey boba and it will definitely sweeten your drink. Overall it was okay. I wouldn't mind getting it again, but wouldn't go out of my way to go here. FLAVORS: I am disappointed in their availability of flavors/syrups. I came around 6pm on a Sunday evening and they list 13 flavors (mango, strawberry, peach, pineapple, blueberry, yogurt, lychee, honeydew, raspberry, passionfruit, kiwi, guava, and green apple) on the menu...but they only had 2 available (blueberry and yogurt). I'm not sure why that is, but that's disappointing for sure! read more

All I gotta say is that teriyaki chicken hit the spot ! Def going back for more Getting me large next time read more

This place has gone down hill. I would have consider this a top 10 quick bites in Santa Barbara in 2015, but has done absolutely zero to keep itself relevant. They took away all of the sides except White Rice or at least what they told me. No more sauces by the toppings bar. If you want a generic rice and chicken bowl where the chicken is super dry, you've come to right place I guess. Also how the hell has the quality gone down if the menu size has also gotten smaller. I have been a line cook and worked BOH. Don't spend another dollar at this shell of a place. I'm pissed how bad this place has gotten read more

Hana Kitchen - This is $15 worth of garbage - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This Hana is pretty on-par with the one located in Isla Vista--in fact, given the mysterious things that happen there, this one may be cleaner LOL. I took my family here to get chicken and beef bowls and they haven't stopped thinking about it since. My brother still requests for me to bring him an order home every time I make the drive. This location is downtown and accessible for anyone wanting a quick bite on State St. Teriyaki bowls are a simple concept, but I haven't had any place that's done it better than HK. There's just a specific flavor to it. I love the cabbage, the broccoli, the spicy mayo, cucumbers, jalapeños, ginger, and extra teriyaki sauce. My favorite "meat" is the vegan one because it reminds me of Vietnamese vegetarian meat. I think it's soy? The mini lasts me a meal and the regular size lasts me two. The large size is extra protein. There are limited toppings right now during COVID so I'm not going to go again until the toppings bar is open because the amount that they let you take is not satisfying. read more

Absolutely terrible! The place is filthy, the food fatty and had a spoiled taste, and the "salsa bar" looked as if it was 5 days old with things spilled everywhere. We never would have eaten here if we had seen it first, but we ordered for pick-up. I also had to use the restroom which was disgusting. Probably the worst restaurant I've eaten at in the past 10 years! Never again! read more

Really enjoyed the food here. Was very delicious. Definitely will be back in the near future

Just ran in to get some tea...jasmine green tea with no sugar...oversteeped to accommodate excessive sugar but the tea had a nice smoked woody flavor on it, so I was happy read more

Our friends picked us up some Hana kitchen today. I've been excited to try this place. It was eh. Chicken was good but kind of tasteless. I had a chunk of cartilage in a bite. The cabbage was good, but the rice wasn't that great. I don't regret the meal but I don't think I'll be craving going back. read more
