    Terriyaki salmon veggie bowl
    Marilyn G.

    This local San Leandro Hawaiian spot is one of our fave places to pick up a post workout meal from. They offer a variety of protein veggie rice bowls, this time I ordered the teriyaki salmon veggie bowl and it came with teriyaki salmon, rice, & cabbage/carrots/broccoli. I also ordered a beef teriyaki veggie bowl for my husband, he said it was delicious. I also ordered a side of 6pc crab Rangoons, super crispy & warm, love the crab filling its perfect amount of creamy to crunch ratio! I was in the mood for some of their classic macaroni salad so I ordered that as well. The inside of the restaurant has seating, kind staff, and orders come out pretty quick. Plenty of parking in the lot, overall a great spot to pick up some grilled food for lunch dinner vibes.

    Kalbi Shortribs and bbq beef
    Steve D.

    I had a nice experience at Hawaiian Grill Express at Greenhouse Marketplace. I was there on a Friday night, 30-mins before closing. The place was pretty busy with people getting takeout and delivery orders. I ordered the Combo Meal with Kalbi Short Ribs and BBQ Beef. It came with 2 scoops of white rice, a small scoop of macaroni salad, and some veggies underneath. This place has generous portions, and prompt service. The meals are prepared on order, so there's a short wait. My order was enough food for two people. Even though it was near closing, the beef was juicy and full of flavor. The rice was fresh. The serving of macaroni was very small. But it was buried under all the BBQ Beef slices, so it didn't seem to matter. The place has a plenty of tables inside, and a big screen TV. Lots of free parking in lot.

    Mini chicken katsu double macaroni salad
    Marquitta H.

    Went here for lunch, had a taste for chicken Katsu and this place is close to my job. I ordered the mini chicken Katsu with double macaroni salad. I don't really care for rice. And I did not regret it. I love the macaroni salad and the chicken was fresh and tasty . They also pair it with the Katsu sauce in most places don't have a Katsu sauce and it was really good. I called in my order it was ready within 10 minutes. The restaurant is very spacious good amount of seating .

    Very inconsistent. When they make it right, very good. However sometimes they overcook or give very bad pieces. Look at how thin and tiny the short ribs are... Also.. please cut a hole in katsu container!! Steam makes it soggy

    Garlic shrimp plate $15.99 (all rice no macaroni)
    Vi T.

    Their garlic shrimp rice plate is da bomb! Made me feel like I was visiting Hawaii again and eating at one of those tasty food trucks. Filled with so much garlic and scallions that it will keep the vampires away. Good amount of food too. I asked for all rice instead of rice and macaroni. They also have a low carb option with brown rice and salad for their plates. Will be back to try more dishes next time!

    Garlic Shrimp
    Brandy G.

    YUM YUM YUM!!!! Garlic shrimp here is 10000000/10! I literally love the garlic shrimp here, it is so delicious that I crave it now. The macaroni they have is so delicious, I sub out one of the rice scoops for the macaroni. Such a solid meal to eat and I love it so much! The staff is very friendly and quick to turn a meal from being ordered to in the box ready to go. Plethora of parking in this parking lot and relatively close to the front door

    Chicken Katsu

    Well cooked meal, I got the mini katsu and it was still a lot! Good portion size, I will come again. Service was great! I was able to sit and eat comfortably inside. 100% best food

    Spam Musubi (2PCS)

    Fire experience! The food was fresh and well proportioned. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place to everyone who loves hawaiian food, try out their spam musubi!

    I've been coming here for a few years now mainly for their potstickers bc I love them. However, I ordered an aloha bbq mix plate today that used to come with two pieces kalbi short ribs. I opened up my box excited to enjoy my dinner to find just one piece of kalbi, and it was the smallest piece that I've ever seen. Instead, they loaded up on chicken and the bbq beef was the same amount as I remembered. This is unfortunate especially for a 20 dollar box. I'll probably come back but I'll be sure to ask about portions the next time I order. The service is always nice and it's more of a to go atmosphere.

    Chicken Katsu

    Best Hawaiian food there is! Better than L&L and ONOs. I got the combination plate (chicken katsu and bbq) and it tastes amazing! You guys give a good portion too, leaving me super full! 10/10 will recommend stopping by here for some authentic Hawaiian food.

The energy was incredible, and you could really feel how excited everyone was to be there cheering on the team. One thing I really liked was that instead of having one giant screen, they had multiple TVs throughout the bar, making it easy to catch the game no matter where you were sitting. There was also a DJ keeping the crowd energized, playing music and hyping everyone up during the match, which added so much to the atmosphere. The bar itself was really nice, and I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how great the overall vibe was. They have a taqueria inside and even though I didn't eat on this visit, the food I saw coming out to nearby tables looked delicious, and several dishes definitely caught my eye. I'll definitely be back to try the food for myself and will update my review afterward. A heads-up that the parking lot is a little small, but there is plenty of street parking nearby, so it wasn't a problem. The space itself isn't huge, but that's part of what made the atmosphere feel lively, energetic, and welcoming. If you're looking for a great place to watch a big game, enjoy a fun crowd, and soak up an exciting sports-bar atmosphere, Frank's Sports Bar & Grill is definitely worth checking out!

This place is huge and very busy, but they clearly have their process down because everything came out efficiently and exactly as ordered for everyone in our party -- which is impressive for such a large table. I had a side salad, a virgin Bloody Mary, and the ham, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich. My husband ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, and we shared a strawberry-topped pancake. Everything we tried was delicious and the drinks were great too. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the long wait to be seated, but honestly it's worthy of the wait. Once you're in, the service moves quickly and smoothly. If you're in the area and looking for a spot that can handle big groups and still deliver good food, I definitely recommend giving Elio's a try.

The menu is big and caters to an American diner type of taste; eggs, sandwiches, burgers and similar fare. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food came out at a reasonable time. They're quick to accommodate dietary needs and preferences as well. The food itself was only alright. I ordered one of their specials, the Petrale Sole, and it was under seasoned and a bit too oily for my tastes. It also comes with your choice of soup or salad, along with a separate dinner side (rice, spaghetti, some form of potato, etc.) as well. All of these were also just okay. The pricing is reflective of the plethora of sides, which I personally dislike, as I would prefer lower pricing with no sides if given the option. Overall, this does feel like classic American diner fare, which has never really been my cuisine of choice. It's not bad, by any means, but it doesn't stand out to me.

Actually probably with out exception...the best in the Bay Area from a fast food joint. So why the 3 stars you might ask? Well.... Read on. Ok so I have heard so much hype about Smack Burgers that I was willing to drive "in traffic" 74 miles round trip to try them. It's located in a little shopping center where parking is a premium, seriously I was blessed to pull in as a guy was pulling out "the whole lot was completely full, cars were circling like vultures looking for a spot" after parking we walked in and noted the inside was simple yet orderly with with well placed signs, a very simple clear and concise menu, tables that were all clean a TV to watch the soccer game " I thought that was very unique for a fast food restaurant, and a soda machine. Fast food but with a take your time and stay a while attitude. 5 stars for the set up! Our server was great! I wanted to order a breakfast burrito along with my hamburger because I've herd so much about the Burrito's but unfortunately for me I was about an hour too late... "sad face" as they only serve them until noon. I think she felt sorry for me because she gave wifey a free drink. Anyways she gets 5 stars. I ordered: A strawberry lemonade. A 1/2 onion ring, 1/2 waffle fries tray. A Smack burger with lettuce and tomato, no pickle. The run down: The strawberry lemonade: IMO mediocre at best. Solid 2.5 stars it did have a strawberry flavor but had a funky aftertaste. The Onion rings: Meh 1.5 stars tops. While they were crispy and not oily they had a tiny flavor to them and honestly they just were not good. "Even their ranch dressing could not help the nasty aftertaste" The waffle fries: I'd give them a solid 3 stars while they are not the best fries I've ever had.... I found myself reaching back for more, the spice on them was also very good. I only wish that they had ketchup to put on them. (I didn't ask and I didn't see any, maybe I needed to ask?) The burger: this is the best part! People come here for their burgers!! With 2 three oz. perfectly seasoned patties, tons of grilled onions, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and their sauce They are simply amazing! How amazing you ask? Well after eating the above menu items "and they give you a lot of food mind you" I ordered one to take home with me, no joke, I really did, they are that freakin good. Bottom line: #1.Their prices are reasonable for today's crazy high food costs #2. Is it worth driving 74miles just for their burgers and nothing else? You know it just might be.
