Hana Hawaiian Barbeque

Fresh, authentic Hawaiian BBQ with grilled to order plates, chicken katsu, and musubi.

Hana Hawaiian Barbeque keeps the Hawaiian plate-lunch idea wonderfully flexible. At this San Mateo Avenue spot in San Bruno, you can build a meal around barbecue chicken, short ribs, chicken katsu, kalua pork, or seafood, with sides such as rice, macaroni salad, vegetables, and tossed salad. We like the mixed plates and half-and-half option for those days when settling on just one main feels unnecessary. The menu also includes loco moco, pork lau lau, garlic shrimp, and chicken katsu curry, giving the familiar barbecue lineup plenty of company. Musubi comes with Spam, chicken, or Portuguese sausage, while saimin and rice bowls offer another direction. A Spam-and-egg or Portuguese-sausage-and-egg plate adds to the comfort-food choices. Hana's appeal as a San Bruno Hawaiian restaurant comes from this straightforward mix of plate lunches, island-style staples, and smaller bites that make ordering to your appetite easy.
