Kalua Pig with No Cabbage
The best Kalua pork I have found on the mainland. Not too salty, with the perfect flavor. Also Mac salad is amazing!!
Hamburger Steak with Brown Gravy
Im just so happy Mr. Nelson is back!!!! His food has always been top notch!!! The hamburger steak and gravey dish is and has always been amazing. The gravey brings out the hamburger steak flavor like no other ive tasted. Brings back memories of Sweetwater Rd. All the dishes at Da Kines are top notch!! As long as Nelson is back, never eating at another Hawaiian spot again!! Hands down thr best in California and the USA for that matter!!
Katsu Chicken with Katsu Sauce
SO yummy! I get this Katsu meal with double Mac Salad & spam musubi for desert (haha) and am never disappointed!
Chicken Katsu with Katsu Sauce
Da Kine's chicken katsu has been my family's go-to chicken katsu in San Diego for my entire life. When they reopened recently this was added back to our favorite restaurant rotation!
Local Style Mac Salad
I can't get enough of this place! All the food is noteworthy, but I especially love the Mac salad – – it's as close to authentic as I've ever had off island. Seems silly, but good Mac salad can make the whole day better! Thank you uncle Nelson!
Kalua Pig
OMG! So authentic and delicious! And the people are so nice!
Teriyaki Chicken
This is the best Teriyaki Chicken and we always order for our parties. It is always great tasting and everyone loves it.
Korean Style Kalbi Ribs
Perfectly marinated beef 🤤 Da Kines is my go to spot when I want a mini vacation back to the islands. Mahalos for always maintaining great service!
Teriyaki Chicken
The closest place to Hawaii you can go to get the real thing! Definitely order the terriyaki chicken plate lunch . It is delicious! The chicken melts in your mouth, the sticky rice is perfectly cooked and the macaroni salad is fresh and flavorful . Portions are plentiful, leaving you fully satisfied. I have been a long time customer of Da Kine's . I would go every weekend to the original location in Pacific Beach on the upstairs patio of the promenade near the Boardwalk . So thrilled you guys came back and have this new location for local grinds! Aloha!
Korean Style Kalbi Ribs
These were the BEST Kalbi ribs I have ever had in San Diego! They reminded me of the Kalbi I had at an amazing place in Oahu, so the flavors really brought me back to the island. I could literally taste the love that Uncle Nelson put into cooking my plate!
