Diamond Head General Store

Authentic Hawaiian food spot with plate lunches, poke bowls, and hard to find Hawaiian groceries and snacks.

Diamond Head General Store on El Camino Real in San Bruno combines a Hawaiian food stop with a market stocked with island and Japanese groceries. We like how the format makes room for both a full plate lunch and a smaller snack picked up along the way. It gives a casual visit several possibilities beyond the main meal. Mochiko chicken, kalua pork, and loco moco provide comforting lunch choices, with rice and macaroni salad appearing in the plate-lunch tradition. Musubi offers a portable alternative, while butter mochi and shave ice bring a sweet finish. The market shelves add another reason to browse before leaving. Diamond Head's appeal is that combination of Hawaiian cooking, snacks, and groceries in one informal neighborhood destination.
