French dip was good, but small in comparison to the portion size for the burgers leaving me wishing Id ordered that. Everyone said the burgers were cooked well and well seasoned. The strawberry rhubarb pie was excellent, where the downside of the visit was the "Key Lime pie". It was flavored cool whip tossed in a graham cracker crust with more whipped cream on top disappointing but not a deterrent from us returning for another visit. It was quiet while we were there but Im sure when busy it could get loud, but then again its a bar you should expect that.

After reading Hawaiioan Café's glowing reviews, we came here on a Saturday evening and brought our…read moreguests from out of town. Overall, our experience was very positive. We made reservations over the phone as we had a group of 7 and I'm glad we did because it got very busy throughout the night! We ordered the watermelon salad and spring rolls as starters, both of which were tasty and refreshing, particularly the watermelon salad. Our friends got the Baked Brie which was delicious! For entrees, I got the Thai Red Curry and my hubby got the Dan Dan Noodles. My curry was underseasoned and a bit lackluster so it was a miss for me, but I did like the Dan Dan Noodles which I would probably get next time if it's still on the menu. Our waitress was also attentive and prompt with her service. I would describe the ambiance as dim and romantic. The A/C was not working so it was very warm inside the restaurant (not sure if it's always like this or if it was just this particular night). Overall, our group had a very nice time dining at Hawaiioan Cafe!

After seeing many tempting ads, I decided to stop here and grab lunch recently. The service was…read morepretty quick, but I was the only person there. There are a few tables but it appears to be primarily take-out. The drink machine was out of ice, and the water was warm. A little disappointing when eating spicier food. Despite the hype I've heard, the food was only ok. I got the maple sriracha chicken sandwich and fries. The flavor of the sauce was good, but the texture of the sandwich was a little off. The fries were really good, but I did notice a sweetness to them. I'm not sure if the seasoning has sugar, but it can be a little much. While I probably would not go out of my way to eat here, I am open to trying other items on the menu.
