Diamond Head General Store [San Bruno, CA] – Hungry Onion
all manner of Hawaiian food and snacks. I’ve never been to Hawaii, but everything seemed more “authentic” than most Hawaiian places around.

This place takes me back to my trip to Hawaii. The food portion was huge. I think anything you order will be great. The mini store had items you can’t get anywhere but Hawaii. I love the vibe. It’s a small place. We got there a little before opening and we had no problem getting a table. You order from the counter and they call your name when your food is ready. Parking can be a challenge since it shares spots with the other businesses near by. If you are looking for the island vibe this is the place.

My absolute favorite Hawaiian spot in the entire Bay Area and probably all of California.
This place never disappoints. Their Mochiko Chicken and Loco Moco are hands-down the best I’ve ever had, seriously addictive. I catch myself dreaming about them. Even my Hawaiian friends who are vegan will make an exception and order the chicken because it’s that good!
I also love the market-style setup. It’s stocked with tons of Hawaiian snacks and favorites that are hard to find anywhere else, making the whole experience feel extra authentic and homey.
If you’re craving legit Hawaiian comfort food, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Glad to have found Morning Wood kitchen again! Yes, there are Hawaiian based food products, the wasubi selection amazing, oh and the garlic chicken awesome!

Small grocery store + sit down restaurant inside.
Mochiko fried chicken taste good, thinly sliced and well seasoned thighs on white rice and macaroni salad.
Shoyu Ahi poke bowl is nice, but not worth the 30$ that came with it.

Got there 30 mins before noon on Saturday. 4 people ahead of us in line to order food. The tables and window seats were mostly filled. Luckily a couple left after eating. The food was delicious and portions were Hawaiian style. There was no room for shaved ice. Maybe next time.

Diamond Head, the old Morningwood. Great place to get your fill of an authentic plate lunch, if any of
you reading this have been to Hawaii know what I’m talking about.
The lines can be long, but worth the wait to order at the counter. You have the option of dining in or taking it to go. Sometimes, it can be busy, so tables maybe hard to come by, especially if you have a large party or come during the peak lunch hour.
While waiting you can look at the many varieties of musubi & onigiri and the hard to resist Hawaiian snacks for purchase next to you. Cookies, crackseed, hurricane popcorn, musubi—it’s all there! If you’re like me and enjoy Zippy’s chili, it’s available in the freezer section.
I ordered the hamburger steak and the furikake mahi–the serving size were generous portions and I even had leftovers to take home. Two pieces of mahi mahi came with our order, long thick pieces and the hamburger steak was a huge meatloaf patty, over rice and covered in onion gravy.
The storefront is open until 5, and plate lunches are available until about 2ish, when the kitchen closes.
There’s a small parking lot, but shared with other businesses—there’s street parking along El Camino, if you don’t mind a short walk.

We’d always wanted to try this place, and we finally had the chance to stop by. Comfort food done right — crispy, saucy, creamy, and fresh in all the best ways. A meal that truly satisfies both the eyes and the palate.

Update: came back and tried their Crunchy Chili Garlic Chicken ($19). It’s a LOT of chicken but the flavor wasn’t the best. There’s no depth to it and it just tasted spicy.
Also ordered their $30+ poke bowl. Very sad to say it was the worst poke bowl we’ve ever had. It was so salty, even the mountain of rice wasn’t enough to mask it. For that cost I expected a lot more Ahi or at least better cuts. Shame.

This place is great! One-stop shop for all your hawaiian snacks and meals. A bit pricy but huge portions, enough for 3 meals (for me at least).
“Luau” Katsu Curry ($19.00) – Thick, robust curry. Katsu was extra deep fried. Mac salad was ok. Too creamy for me.
Fried Mochiko Chicken Plate ($18.00) – So much chicken. Crispy and a little sweet. I prefer this chicken on my curry over the katsu.
Butter Mochi ($6.00) – Yum! Even the plastic wrap was oily.

If you lower your expectations, Diamond Head General Store could be an OK place to dine-in. There was a 20 minute wait to order at the cashier at 2pm on a Sunday. This is the type of restaurant were you order at the cashier and they will yell out your name. I’m not sure why I tipped as they serve all the food in to-go containers. It is sort of like L&L Hawaiian BBQ. Personally, I prefer to use silverware and real dishes if I’m eating inside a restaurant. I ordered the Fried Mochiko Chicken $18. This took about 15 minutes for the food to come out. Mochiko is a sweet Japanese rice flour sometimes used in Hawaiian cuisine. This came with a salty and sweet sauce on the bottom of the to-go container. The white rice was the best part of this dish. It is fluffy and moist. The fried chicken left me with a weird aftertaste in my mouth.
I like the old Morning Wood restaurant better. This is supposed to be run by the same people. If you ask for water, the cashier will make it sound like he is doing you a favor. The tables are pretty dirty. The workers are too busy getting the orders out. Guests are expected to bus their own trays. There’s isn’t a place to put the used trays. I’ve seen guests put used trays back where the new trays are. Kinda gross. Just like their unbused tables.
