    French fries
    Alejandra D.

    It's a small hole-in the wall spot. They offered your Hawaiian favorites and Chinese food as well. I was only craving french fries, and didn't see them on the menu but I asked if they had them, and they did!!!! They were the thick steak cut fries and came out hot and salted well. My sister enjoyed her meal and it was a casual spot to catch up. Plenty of parking available.

    12/15/25 - Half & Half - Chicken Katsu with Kalbi Ribs (+$2.50)
    Dexter D.

    After a great dinner assembled by another quick service Hawaiian Style Restaurant last week, we were in the mood for more Hawaiian Grindz. We found Hula Wok on yelp. When we arrived, there were two San Ramon Police Officers having lunch inside. Because of the nature of their job, cops know where they can get decent hot food served in a short amount of time. While everyone's taste buds are different, we've had many more positive experiences following their lead than negative. We were greeted upon entering. It took us a minute to figure out what we wanted. Once the order was placed, we were given our drink cup to fill ourselves. I went outside to walk the dog while she stayed inside to wait for the order. Once our order was up, we left and went to the parking lot where we give Princess her monthly bath. Two scoops rice, one scoop mac salad plus our entrees filled the clamshells to the brim. So much so, that neither one of us could finish our orders. The rice was okay, same with the mac salad, although I may have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been packed with the hot foods. She got a seafood combo with Fried White Fish and Prawns. She chose Kalua Pig and Cabbage as her third protein. I got Chicken Katsu and Kalbi Ribs. All of our entrees were on point, hot and flavorful. She got tartar sauce for her fish and i got a sweet tonkatsu sauce for my Katsu. All in all, a good experience. We'll have to come by again to check out their Chinese food.

    Great Hawaiian style food! Kahlua pork, lau lau, Kalbi ribs, spam musubi! I love to have a savory lunch with 2 scoops of rice and their delicious macaroni salad! Their breakfast menu is also great, but they don't open until 11 am. Portuguese sausage (4 generous slices) 2 fried eggsc and rice! If you are interested in catering a party size tray of musubis, be sure to call ahead.

    Yum! Trio of Musubi

    First time eating here at a table. Food is so good and the portions are a good size - even for the mini plates. Staff is friendly. Food comes out quickly. Establishment is clean. They do a lot of take out orders. When eating here, I wish they used real plates and had real utensils. It's a challenge to eat short ribs using a plastic fork and knife. But that wont stop me from returning. We ordered: Loco Moco Mini Plate BBQ Short Rib Mini Plate Chicken Katsu Plate All Delicious!!!!

    This is our go-to spot for Hawaiian food. Their bbq is always well- marinated and grilled properly. Today we had two mixed plates: one bbq and the other was seafood and katsu. We also ordered the spicy salt and pepper chicken as an appetizer. Food came out pretty quickly. The mixed plates were good as usual. The salt and pepper chicken wasn't as good which I attributed to a non-sriracha sauce on it. Otherwise their counter service was good, bathrooms were clean, and the food was good.

    This is one of those small spots that just hits the right spots. I ordered a MINI chicken katsu. And two masubi. By far one of the best non L and L Hawaiian food spots I have ever had. The bbq chicken masubi was amazing as well!

    The freshest Hawaiian I've ever had. The service was very quick and excellent, the restaurant was clean and the food was amazing. The portion size was also great for the price hands down my favorite Hawaiian I've ever had!

    This is our go to Hawaiian bbq place. Big portions and can call ahead your order. Chicken and other meats always flavorful. They have a lot of other dishes including Chinese items as well so you will definitely find something you'd like here. Lots of seating if you wanna eat in. Plenty of parking. Their online ordering is a little janky, some typos and so I usually just call in.

We've tried this BBQ stand at least three times over the last few years. Every time, we get lured in by the incredible smoky aroma at the local farmers markets, forget that the food isn't good, and try it again. Tonight at the Dublin Farmers Market was our final reality check. We ordered the chicken and ribs combo, and the meat was incredibly dry, heavily charred, and so tough it felt like eating jerky. To make matters worse, they served the side of cucumber salad in a lidless plastic container wrapped only in thin foil--which predictably spilled everywhere. Save your money and bypass the enticing smell. I am officially writing this to remind myself (and everyone else) to keep walking!

The bowl was full of ingredients: pork, fish cake, broiled egg, bean sprouts, corn, green onion and nori. The broth was tasty, although because I dont cook with much salt at home, I noticed a difference right away but it wasnt overly salty. I managed to eat everything, and when I was done, the friendly host brought me some fresh orange slices that were ripe and sweet. Overall, my experience was pleasant. It wasnt overly crowded, perhaps because it was after the lunch hour rush. The dining room is well lit and clean. I will try the Shoyu Ramen next time

The pork had a slight sourness that was nice. Most of it was drier than I'd like though. Only the pork belly was actually flavorful, juicy, and tender. Mac and cheese and fries were both fine but won't be writing home about this. Cauliflower was pretty good, could be crunchier with more breading. The table had 4 different BBQ sauces.
