How to Order Hawaiian Food Online in San Diego for Pickup or Delivery

Here is why we built it, how it works, and what to order first.

What Is a Hawaiian Plate Lunch?

A Hawaiian plate lunch traditionally pairs a protein with rice and macaroni salad. It's a satisfying combination that brings together comforting flavors and generous portions.

Browse each plate on our menu to see what comes with it.

What you get: a hearty, full meal built around Chef Andy's Hawaiian fusion cooking, bringing together Filipino-Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese flavors.

• Huli Huli Chicken – A flavorful Hawaiian-inspired chicken favorite.
• Kalua Pork – A classic Hawaiian comfort food favorite.
• Garlic Chicken – A delicious choice for garlic lovers.

All three dishes are also available on our catering menu, so a plate you love at lunch can become part of the menu at your next gathering.

What you get: a taste of Chef Andy's cooking, led by our chef and co-founder, a Lahaina, Maui native with five-star hotel and luau experience.
