I love the plate lunches here. This is the closest to local Hawaiian food you can get in California and in the North Bay. I used to live in Oahu and man this food is Ono. Ya, you know! Usually, the meals come with Mac salad and rice but I go with all cabbage salad as my side dish with a Kalua Pork and Teriyaki Steak combo. My kids love the spam masubis here.

First: quick and consistent; second: tasty with a variety to suit everyone(vegetarian options are limited, but the Hawaiian diet consists of mostly meat dishes); third: authenticity, I am from kauai and visit quite often, and to have quality Hawaiian rather than fast food L&L's is a major benefit. The quality speaks for itself.; fourth: the price is right. Lunch around $8 and dinner about $11. Always gonna leave here full.

Our visit to this Hawaiian restaurant was a dream come true! The service was outstanding from the get-go – our server was personable, efficient, and really helped us navigate the menu with great suggestions. We had the seared ahi tuna and a Hawaiian-style burger, and both dishes were packed with flavor and freshness. The ambiance was exactly what you’d expect from an island-inspired spot, with beautiful wood accents, lush plants, and a peaceful atmosphere that made us feel like we were on vacation. I’ll definitely be back for more of this authentic Hawaiian goodness!

BEST PLACE EVER. I went with my friends for the first time- not long ago, and since then that's the only place we ever go to. The food is spectacular. The service is magnificent. And the atmosphere/music is so welcoming. There's no doubt; this place is my favorite! (Tip: Try the shaved ice!!!)

I haven't been here in a while and I got a little sticker shock because we ordered a ton of food for two. But it was as delicious as we remembered. The manager/owner was there and was reasonable and understanding about it, which was much appreciated. So glad these guys are still around because we enjoy this restaurant a lot, we've been coming for 10+ years. They have limited seating, but take out is speedy. Everyone there is very nice and helpful. The managers/ owners? are there all the time and have always been great. In 10+ years, every visit there has been good.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I can not recommend this restaurant enough! We have been coming here for over a year and the quality is always top notch! The staff are so friendly and the food is the BEST Hawaiian food in the bay!

I always come here to order my daily coconut boba it is very delicious then any other boba place and the food is very yummy!!!!

Mauna Loa Hawaiian BBQ is a good spot for some Hawaiian BBQ. The service was decently quick, and the food was delicious. I ordered the Mauna Loa combination plate that came with beef short rib, chicken katsu, and BBQ chicken. All three meats were tender and tasty. They also have a wide selection of alcohol.

After trying to find gluten free options and the Jamaican restaurant being closed, we decided to try this place our and we were pleasantly surprised. Good Hawaiian food. Very authentic 👌🏽

Great food. Excellent coconut shrimp, large portions, very good kalua pork. Quick, friendly service. Small, clean, casual place. Can be too warm on hot days. Good for take-out or eating in.

Good. Made to order. But the prices on the menu don't reflect the prices they actually charge you on the receipt. Add about $3 to every single thing. Pretty deceptive, actually

Good food. We had the spam and eggs, bbq chicken, shrimp, and katsu chicken. Short ribs was a bit over cooked and not tender. Spam musubi. Tried the Taro boba milk tea. Everything was good except milk tea. It tasted like water and powder. One of the worst I’ve had.

I was in a rush when ordering food online. Realized I ordered it from Mauna Loa and not Oha. Was really disappointed in the overall quality. Food was flavorless and their portion of short ribs was stingy. I got the combo with chicken katsu, I would say the quality and quantity was the only real positive thing about my meal. I don’t typically like macaroni salad and will request to omit it or replace with rice, so I was happy to see that they offer a cabbage salad instead (although it wasn’t great). Will definitely continue to go back to Oha in SR

Mauna Loa will not last. Had the chicken combination meal. BBQ chicken, katsu chicken and chicken teriyaki. The BBQ was awful, bland with a rubbery texture. The teriyaki was mediocre, had at least some flavor. The katsu was not very good, did not taste fresh at all. Macaroni salad was abysmal. They were not busy at all on a Friday night, that should tell you all you need to know. I do not recommend this business
