Nano's Yougurt Shack

If you are in half moon bay this is definitely a place you want to stop. Everyone there is super friendly, we definitely left there feeling like we have new friends. Their food was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for authentic Hawaiian food this is your place!

Great vibes. Delicious BBQ. RIBS ARE AMAZING, So is the chicken, Kailua pork and macaroni salad. The people make are you feel invited as if your at their home.

Awesome Hawai'ian themed yogurt shop with great food. Love the Hawai'ian spam sushi (they use chicken instead of spam). Come on Friday or Saturday for Hawai'ian barbecue. SO good.

Best kalua pork I've ever had. Delicious food and chill atmosphere in the beer garden out back. Highly recommend.

Best Hawaiian BBQ I’ve had in years! Can‘t go wrong w Nano on the grill. Comfy outdoor seating & great beer. Don’t miss it!

There’s not enough 5 stars for me in these reviews… I’ve gone here 3 times with different family members & friends. It’s become a go to spot in Half Moon Bay :) I miss Hawaii and whenever I come here and sit on their patio eating their delicious food it takes me back and it’s like there’s a little piece of Hawaii in California. The chicken bowls, shrimp bowl and the 2 for $9 spam masubis NEVER disappoint. Not to mention the best and kind service it was so sweet hearing them play reggae and talk about how much of a beautiful day it was while serving us yummy food. Thank you guys! Will come back soon in the summer xx (p.s to the guy complaining they were closed on Tuesday god forbid they have a break in the middle of the week! lol ppl forget humanity. I won’t take it for granted! Aloha!)

The workers, the food, and the atmosphere are what makes this place amazing. The husband and wife who own this place are very down to earth people and are always greeting you with a smile. The Kalua pork and BBQ chicken were some of the best eats we had and the dole whip float was the best way to top it off. So good it's where we ate for two days straight. And the atmosphere makes it feel like you're at a family BBQ in the backyard. Definitely will return soon!

Fast and friendly service. We really didn’t know what we wanted and the cashier made some excellent recommendations. It’s Friday so the had the Hawaiian specials going on and I had that. Food was excellent and was just enough to be filling. Thanks for the awesome atmosphere! I recommend visiting this place, if you’re in Half Moon Bay.

Then she told me..."Go to Nano's and get the Double Barrel 12" Look...I said, I want a hot dog joint not a shotgun! Well, the thing is, after I dropped off the Raspy Slipinzipper off at my pal Joey Tic's house his little stab, Luna tells where to get the best hot dogs, and fried Spam...So, I got the Double Barrel 12 it was Spam! It was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

This place is AMAZING. NANO IS A GREAT HOST VERY FRIENDLY. EVERY TIME WE GO TO HALF MOON BAY WE GO THERE. FOOD IS OFF THE HOOK, GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT.

I really enjoyed eating here and relaxing in the back yard! My husband is Hawaiian and loved the food here. So did I! We went to the summer BBQ from the city on a Saturday evening with our dogs! XO

Nano’s Hawaiian – Chill Vibes and Great Hospitality We stopped by Nano’s Hawaiian just looking for a quick bite—some musubi and a drink—but we ended up staying longer than expected because the place had such a warm, homey feel. We first sat out on the patio, which felt like hanging out in someone’s backyard. It was nice and comfortable. Later on, we moved over to the bar, and I’m so glad we did. Everyone there had this laid-back, welcoming vibe—like being part of a big, friendly family. To top it off, we were offered a Hawaiian drink on the house, which was such a nice surprise and really showed how generous and kind the staff is. Whether you’re just dropping in for a snack or want to relax for a while, Nano’s Hawaiian is definitely worth a visit. It’s the kind of spot that makes you feel right at home

Very cool spot. Feels like you accidentally walked into a backyard, and promptly got invited to join the party. Food is simple Hawaiian teriyaki, but hits the mark. Couple beers on draft, few more in the fridge..nothing fancy, but great little hide-away type of place that makes you feel like you could be anywhere in the world.

Amazing hidden gem in downtown Half moon bay. There is a large patio in the back where you can directly walk in to order food and enjoy the ambiance with sunlight and shades. Their chicken bbq is amazingly juicy and delicious, I got two more orders after clearing a dish of “wipe-out” which was a combo dish of all the meats (which was also awesome. Kid friendly for a casual lunch, friendly chef and staffs, loved it!

Fun family vibes! Delicious bbq chicken for the family F-S. Kids could not stop eating and enjoyed some ice cream to follow. Staff are super friendly. Will be back!

The price seemed high in the beginning (around 30 dollars each before tax), but after we got it, we agreed it was totally worth it. The plate was big with a lot of meat. I could finish only 60% of the meat. The food was delicious and the staff is pretty friendly. We can seat outside, in the back of the main entrance which is a nice place, with the staff preparing the barbecue. Feels like a Sunday barbecue at the backyard.

Nano was very welcoming and the staff were very helpful. We lucked out and caught the Ohana bbq that was served Friday-Sunday The tri-tip bowl that we had was amazing. The tri-tip had such a delicious marinade and the rice and Mac salad were phenomenal. The spam musubi was amazing, we lucked out and got the last piece, I understand why it goes so fast. We tried a pineapple Dole float and felt like we were back in the islands. Lots of good vibes around. Thank you Nano for making us feel so welcomed.

Best food on the coast hands down! Not only is the authentic food that’s made fresh daily amazing, the staff, the environment, the atmosphere of that whole restaurant from inside to the outside garden area give you and your family a wholesome coast welcoming. On top of that, you get the feeling of being on an Hawaiian island at an authentic Hawaiian restaurant filled with ohana. I’ll definitely be eating here all the time.

Stopped at Nano’s in Half Moon Bay while stuck in a long traffic jam, and it turned out to be a great detour. The girls loved the shave ice—tons of flavor options, including nostalgic ones like Tiger Blood, which my daughter just had to try. The texture was perfect, and the portion sizes were generous. Inside, the place had a strong "porky" smell, which was a bit tough to get used to, so we took our shave ice to go. That said, other customers seemed to really enjoy their Hawaiian pork dishes, so if that’s your thing, it’s probably a great spot for a meal. Overall, a solid stop for shave ice, and I’d definitely come back for that alone!

Not open Tuesday?! Google says it’s open and I was able to successfully place online order only to find restaurant was closed upon picking up order. There was a paper posted in window, displaying days/hours of operation. Cost me 30 min on a weeknight where I have a tight turnaround with kids in tow. I would have been considerate for the restaurant to update their Google listing, and turn off the online ordering instead of allow me to fully make/pay for order.

Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. The person taking our order was quite rude and unwelcoming from the start. He told us there was no seating available, and seemed visibly frustrated while taking our order. Even when we pointed to specific items on the menu, he was quick to say, “can’t make that happen,” without offering any alternatives or suggestions. The service felt rushed and dismissive, and sadly, the food didn’t make up for it either — it didn’t taste fresh and fell short of our expectations. Overall, it felt like the staff just didn’t care about the customer experience.
