Hukilau

San Jose


Located in San Jose's tiny Japantown, this fun Hawaii-themed bar serves filling island-style plate meals (sesame chicken is da best) and pupus (snacks or appetizers) such as Spam musubi (block of rice with a slice of fried Spam on top, wrapped with a strip of nori) and bowls of ahi poke (raw-fish salad).

Live Hawaiian music some weekend evenings.
