The only reason I don't recommend them is because they are closing and the day we went they had run out of a lot of things that we asked for and it doesn't matter because I think they're out of business now, but I think they are reimagining it into something else so maybe someday I will recommend them :-)

Ube Waffle
Rose K.

The combo of coconut water and matcha is superb! It is perfect as a second drink of the day because it is so refreshing! The Ube waffle is yummy with almost unicorn colored cream. There is a nice coconutty flavor with a good mochi waffle chew to the texture. Plenty of outdoor seating with shade, so come by on a hot afternoon for their shaved ice! The outdoor patio is probably dog friendly since their kitchen is closed off and you order from a take out window. Paid parking can be found in the lot next to Philz.

OG Spam Musubi, Mega POG Shave Ice
Hannah R.

Hanai is a refreshing new food spot in the IceBlocks serving smoothies, shaved ice, milkshakes, and Spam Musubi. I tried the POG smoothie, the OG Musubi, and the Mega POG shaved ice. For the $12 price tag, the POG smoothie was just okay, a good refreshing drink but not too different from a cheaper smoothie someplace else. I LOVED the OG Musubi, honestly some of the freshest and tastiest I've had in a long while. The Spam was cooked really well, the rice was just soft and chewy enough, and I loved the mix of sauces on top. I wanted to love the Mega POG shaved ice because of its great size & price, but due to the small bowl it came in and the mess it made due to overflowing/melting too quickly, I was left frustrated and disappointed. It should be placed in a bowl with more of a lip or fanned sides to catch the tasty syrups and ice as you eat it, just a suggestion! I would return to Hanai in the future just for the tasty OG Musubi, and might want to venture out and try some of their other Musubi flavors!

Hello pineapple smoothie with pineapple juice, pineapple, sherbet, strawberries, and banana. $11

Friendly service, fresh taste. I had the hello pineapple smoothie that tastes completely natural and the mega pog shaved ice a different time which also tasted very natural

i tried this place when i was going to get food on r street. it was a super hot day and shaved ice sounded like the perfect snack to cool down. i'm not typically one to get shaved ice but this one was huge and flavorful. i loved the atmosphere and vibe of the store, but i did feel like it was a bit expensive. as it starts to melt i would say all the syrup falls to the bottom so once you do start getting to the bottom ice it is almost too sweet to eat, but overall it is yummy and fun to try once! the workers were nice and i loved the outside patio and seating!

Tigers blood shave ice and banana coconut shave ice. OG spam musubi and I can't remember the other musubi name at the moment

This place was surprisingly underwhelming unfortunately! We were so excited to try this place out however it lacked flavor in the shaved ice. We gave it a good try and attempted to eat 5 spoonfuls...even trying to see if the flavor was at the bottom but unfortunately it was bland! The spam musubi's were not great and overpriced in comparison to other local places.

Often I found them providing new takes on classic dishes. The restaurant took pride in their sourcing and provided nourishing food and pushed to make every dish interesting. Thank you to all the staff that made such a special experience for me and my family every time we visited. Keep pushing to be great and creative. There was something special here. You will be missed!

I always love to eat at a good Hawaiian spot and saw some videos raving about Kau Kau. We decided…read moreto give it a visit for some brunch this past weekend and hate to say that I was honestly disappointed. We walked in to a fairly small but busy restaurant thinking it would take a while for a table but to our surprise we were seated quickly. The server was quick to help us and bring us water which is always great but there is one thing that could've been done better. We were just seeing other tables that came after us , getting their food and we had nothing. We didn't really get an update as to what was taking long or where our food was which was the bummer part. They did make up and give us a 10% discount and a free orange juice which was greatly appreciated. So props for that The food wasn't the worst but also it wasn't something that made me think WOW this is good. I usually don't get gravy with my loco mocos and mostly judge off the meat flavor and this one was lacking seasoning. My wife's waffle was just good nothing crazy and the chicken did taste fresh which we most definitely enjoyed. The mango syrup that came with it though wasn't too much of our liking. It tasted mostly like a mango candy syrup mixed with hot sauce. Overall our experience was alright but not the best..... I don't know if I'll make the drive out here to get some "Hawaiian" bites as I do feel there's better spots in Sacramento. Everything is all subjective to experience and ours was just alright.

after a fun day in Sac, i decided to let Yelp surprise me, and i was recommended JJ's Hawaiian…read more initially, we came in just for drinks and spam musubi, but after trying the appetizer, we loved it so much we decided to stay and eat here. i opted for the beef / chicken plate, while my date got a Tonkotsu Ramen we also got boba drinks the inside ambiance is amazing: it was quiet and slow at first, but it picked up after the hour. the inside decor is refreshing and gives you a peaceful vibe mango tea w/ boba (9.5/10) pure mango flavor, refresher with boba beef / chicken plate (9.5/10) i swear the protein at hawaiian bbq spots are severely underrated: elite meat, i added a scoop of that macaroni salad. very delicious entree what a sleeper in sacramento: very good food, very good ambiance and local to Sacramento

It was pretty much empty on a Sunday during lunch time, so I was a bit worried when I saw that…read more I tried the #20 Combo Plate (BBQ Beef, BBQ Short Ribs & Chicken Katsu). Food was out fast. Even after the drive home and sitting out for a bit, it was delicious! I thought everything had good flavor and the Katsu was nice and crispy. I could probably do without the BBQ Beef, so I wish they had a short rib and katsu option. Inside is nothing fancy; relaxed/casual atmosphere. Definitely somewhere I'll drop by again when in West Sac!

First of all the food is always very good and portions are VERY, VERY generous! At Fulton and alta arden hawaii l&l The food hits the top of the to go container. The staff up front are always so pleasant/helpful and welcoming everytime l go in! Compared to the other l&ls this one at Fulton and alta arden has vegetables that you can mix with Mac or rice. The two hawaii l&ls in elk grove DONT even have vegetables to offer, which is very disappointing and the staff is not the same and l have not been back and for the golden pineapple, which offer hawaii l&l and maybe some other food dishes that might be better tasting, has also as well misses the mark all the way around, save your money going there, at all three of these places, portions are small, more expensive Mac taste like mayonnaise and quilty is far from Alta arden hawaii l&l quilty!
