Pretty good spot for Hawaiian BBQ. I’ve had the Teriyaki Beef Sandwich which is just that but with lettuce. Could be better but it’s only $3.99 ($4.50), so I’m it going to complain too much.
Pretty small place, and equally small area to stand when waiting for your food. No chairs. I like it though.

Heard good things about this place and it’s all true. The mini plates are a steal in today’s economy and the food is fire. It is cash only, however, so make sure you bring cash. Beef rib eye and katsu are among my fave.

This place is the truth. Growing up in Hawaii, I can honestly say Hawaiian food on the mainland usually doesn’t hit the same — but this spot is a true taste of home.
The portions are generous and the plate was full. I got the katsu and BBQ chicken combo — everything was fire. The chicken was tender, the katsu was crispy and juicy, and they gave a generous amount of mac salad (which most places never do). I usually have to order double mac, but this was more than enough.
Food came out fast, fresh, and the prices are great too. 10/10 –top tier. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Hawaiian plate lunch.

You know the portion size is great when it sets off the airbag alarm on your passenger seat.
Nice people, yummy food, great value.

2025 update. Hawaiian Drive Inn still serves up a lot, and I mean a lot of food. There is enough food for two light meals. This evening, I got their fried fish $12.50 and a loco moco $13. There’s an option to go with all macaroni salad instead of rice. The gravy mixed with the hamburger patty with a fried egg tasted great. There’s something special with that combo. Although, maybe I should have gotten a single scoop of rice instead of all mac salad. As for the fried fish, that tasted OK. It needed more tarter sauce than the single cup. Service was fine. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready as there were a few people in front of me. There still isn’t anywhere to sit. The dining area is closed. Take-out only.
Original review: There’s an obscene amount of chicken in their chicken katsu plate $10.50. They double stacked it in the container. This dish tasted OK. It needed the katsu sauce for it to taste OK. The little cheeseburger $3.50 was disappointing. It was missing regular cheese burger ingredients like lettuce, tomato and onions. This hole in the wall restaurant didn’t have seating due to Covid, so to-go only. Waiting for your food on the street can be chilly so bring a windbreaker. Good job staff at Hawaiian Drive Inn.

I’ve come to this place a few times before and got the chicken katsu mini plate. Had the broccoli lunch plate with chicken teriyaki this time. All the food is very delicious and great price. Can’t beat that combo!
Went back a few hours later to get the short ribs mini plate and the person taking my order remembered I’ve come before

**CA$H ONLY** The $9.99 “mini” plate with katsu/other meat + rice + Mac salad is an unreal value in SF. Delicious and ready so fast. To-go only.

The food and service are always top notch. Maybe the cities best kept secret. To go & cash only.

I have to tell you that the food here is delicious, the servings are huge and the price is worth it!!! I got the seafood plate that has fish, shrimp, one option of meat rice, salad and macaroni. I do have to say that I am not a fan of the macaroni, but everything else was delicious and I have no complaint. It is a small business and tends to get a little busy but the service is fast. I would recommend ordering here for some good Hawaiian food.

Experience was good overall especially because the service was fast and parking was convenient and easy to find in the afternoon, however the meal itself I will give it an OK especially because the rice was very disappointing it wasn’t steam rice at all it was more like a cake ball. Meat was good
