Came here for lunch on a Saturday. Got the shaka chicken. Good portion. The green sauce is too green which kinda throws me off. Expect it to be sweet, a bit too sweet so just a warning. Would love to try other dishes next time.

I enjoyed the food from this restaurant very much. The food was delicious and fulfilling. We also brought our doggies with us and sat outside after our hike. The place is very clean and staff were friendly to our doggies. I will definitely come back again.

A fantastic spot with delicious food and a wide selection of cocktails. The outdoor seating is charming, making it a unique and cozy place to enjoy some Hawaiian cuisine. Definitely worth checking out! Staff was kind and helpful - parking situation is okay (primarily street parking).

In addition to coming here for years to their restaurant for dine in and takeout, we recently used Noelani's for catering of our baby shower and it was an ABSOLUTE HIT. Not only was the food delicious but working to refine quantities and everything with the restaurant was super convenient. Portions were generous and perfect so we had some leftovers but nothing went to waste. We opted for pickup to save a bit of money since we live close and everything was ready on time and stayed warm and perfect until the shower started. I would order catering from them in a heartbeat and glad we got to experience this part of their business, too. We ordered short ribs, chicken katsu, prawns, fries and their green salad and everything was as delicious as if we ate in person. Top tip: excess short ribs freeze and reheat BEAUTIFULLY.

Came here to try their drinks. Blown away!! I will literally come back just for the UBE colada made with Japanese whiskey.

Came back to Noelani's for dinner on a Saturday at 6:30 for 4 people. After putting our names down, we only had to wait around 15 minutes. And Friday/Saturday nights are live music nights - can make it a bit hard to hear outside and inside, but it's still a really nice touch. We ordered drinks, lumpia and spam musubi appetizers and individual entrees - shaka chicken, katsu curry, loco moco and saimin bowl. The saimin made me super nostalgic for Hawaii - and very generous portions. The staff are always so warm and attentive, they welcome you in like family. For 4 people for drinks, appetizers and entrees, the total came out to $183 or 46/person.

I've had Noelani's in my bookmarks for a while and they did not disappoint. The vibe is really chill/relaxing. There is a front and back patio space, plenty of outdoor seating. The staff is also really nice and accommodating. Dogs are allowed and they even offered ice water on a hot summer day. I've been here for both regular dinner and happy hour. It honestly isn't that packed for happy hour and they have a good selection of food and drinks. Tsunami fries is definitely a must get. It may sound weird but it works. The fries are thin and crispy like shoestring fries. My favorite drink so far has been the Virgin Pina Colada. It is a very nice and refreshing coconut slushie. Guava steak had a nice flavor to it. The Island Fish Tacos were also really good. My friend likes the Shaka Chicken. So far, it seems like there hasn't been a negative experience. I definitely recommend coming here!

I always love coming here for a drink and food especially during happy hour! I always get a blue Hawaiian drink which never disappoints. This time I took my family and they loved it as well. My bf mentioned how sitting in the patio area really felt like we were in Hawaii with the beach shore just on the other side of the gate. The live music added the best touch. The service is always great as well as they always come to check on you and are very quick. Def recommend the dessert pie and the chicken! 5/5 taste 5/5 service

Noelani's is one of my favorite spots to go to when we're in San Carlos. Everything about this place speaks to the beautiful Hawaiian island vibes and flavors. The food is delicious, service is very family oriented, and overall, just a nice place to grab food and hang out with friends and family. Food: 5/5 My favorite dishes would have to be the poke nachos, shaka chicken and kalua pig. The flavors all blend super well and having a large group to get a variety of dishes to share is the best way to go. Unlike the poke nachos and shaka chicken that have various textures and flavors on the plate, the kalua pig has its traditional flavor. Despite its "simplicity," it sure is tasty! I have recommended this place to many of my friends who have also brought their friends, and they all love the food here too! The portion size is a good amount for the price as well! Staff/Service: 5/5 Besides the island vibes, the staff and live music make it feel very homey. They are very attentive and will check in on you without you having to flag them down. This is regardless of if you're inside or outside on the patio. Everyone that works here and the customers they seem to attract make for good vibes and a great spot for families and friends to hang out! Space: 4.5/5 They have a lot of space inside and outside on the patio, but since they're popular, you may still have to wait a bit. When they have live performers, being inside can get a little loud, but that's what makes it a fun time! Their patio area is gorgeous to sit at during a nice sunny day. The only thing is that there really isn't anywhere to park. It's all street parking around the area which is limited.
