Hukilau in Japantown San Jose is a must-visit spot for delicious and authentic Hawaiian comfort food. The Spam fried rice and garlic chicken are highly recommended, along with other menu items like Kalua pork cheese fries, Loco Moco, and salmon poke. The restaurant offers generous portions, strong and sweet drinks at the Hawaiian Tiki Bar, and a friendly staff that provides excellent service. The retro art and tiki vibe of the restaurant add to the overall dining experience. Guests can expect a welcoming atmosphere, great food, and a taste of true Hawaiian flavors. Hukilau is a gem in the San Jose dining scene that is definitely worth a visit.
