Diamond Head General Store in San Bruno

Diamond Head deli by Morning Wood… I got an invigorating Kona coffee… garlic shrimp were strong but diluted with lemon and rice, it was nice. #rice #hawaii #hawaiianfood #masubi #shavedice #sanbrunocalifornia #diamondheaddeli I couldn’t eat everything so I will have to come back for the poke and the pork belly and the chicken special…. This place is in a tiny strip mall with barbers and a acupuncture place. Next time. Maybe.

I order the Shoyu shi and Hawaiian ahi and bast musubi and Mai Tai shave ice nonalcoholic. The food is amazing just a minor detail that wasnt good was one of the Ahi fish inside the Shoyu shi bowl was still frozen inside. Other than that, food was bomb! Very pricy. $26 for one bowl but youll have leftovers for when you get hungry again.

First time come here on a Saturday lunchtime, putting the name on the waiting list and waited for almost 2 hours. The environment is pretty simple and delightful. Ordered a steak, sesame muffin and also appetizer muffin. Everything was so delicious and super super presentable. Totally worth the two hour wait. We were so blown away by how beautiful and tasty the food was.Second time come here on a Thursday lunchtime. Waiting for about 10 minutes, and got a table for five people. Realize they don’t serve steak during the week time, what a pity. Order some new dishes, still very very presentable, for the taste was just OK. Maybe my expectations were too high because of how good the food were at the first time.

Went there for the shave ice only and it was absolutely perfect. Have been looking for one since I had it in maui, this came super close. We had the diamond special with the topping, I did not think the topping were great. But the base icecream (lychee) is super and so is the shave ice! Cute little grocery store for hawaiian stuff as well. Overall very pleasing experience.

Pro Tip: know that they automatically charge 15% tip and each dish is expensive and the plates are huge.We got the Mochiko chicken loco moco and Kahlua Pork with cabbage to split between 3 people and it destroyed us. We could only finish 2/3 of the food. Im usually a big eater but I wanted to save room for the mochi desserts but wow the food is so delicious but heavy I could not finish either dish.The salty dishes were the best. Desserts were good but standard though the Maladada was unique and tasty

A hidden gem! The restaurant is not too noticeable from the street. The interior, while spacious, feels a bit unfinished and homey.The main attraction here is the food, a Hawaiian-Japanese take on brunch. The fusion is a great success. The Asian flavors makes the genre feel fresh and tasty, without overwhelming the base dish.One issue is the speed of service. At the time of this writing it is still quite a new place. The server and kitchen both have yet to achieve peak operational efficiency.Another issue is parking. There is only a small lot shared by the restaurant along with other nearby businesses, aside from street parking right off busy El Camino Real. All other issues will be solved with time aside from this one.

Really good brunch spot! It gets very, very crowded, so I recommend getting there early. We waiting for about 45 min to 1 hour.- Cornbread was really good! The bacon jam and butter were great toppings, and loved the Japanese seasoning on the cornbread.- The Japanese breakfast was really good, especially with the kalbi sausage.- French toast was solid, but I thought the other dishes were better done.Props to them for the Freak Nasty reference!

Arrive early (7am) and put your name on the waiting list. Restaurant opens at 9 am. If you are not present when they call your name you will be dropped. Food is excellent and portions are generous. I would recommend going with a group of 4 to try a bit of everything. Menus change monthly. Everything looked aesthetically appealing and everything tasted delicious. Recommendations: Kimchee Omorice, Kahlua pork loco Moco, mochi pancakes, fried chicken and japotatoes. Happy eating. Oh and if they have the devils spicy fried chicken on the menu, get it! I missed out on that menu.

Update Jan 12, 2019Came for friend birthday breakfast. Always nice to see new items on the menu to try. We got the updated French toast, good but I prefer the strawberry version. Yuiza butter pancakes, the previous matcha pancakes are more unique. You dip, we dip, we all dip this is a kalua pork French dip. I thoroughly enjoyed that it was outstanding.Updated review on July 21, 2018.So they update their menu on a monthly basis. Heart way too keep you coming back for more. Ordered kalua pork Bennie which is like eggs Benedict but with kalua, so yummy. But for in your face flavor the katsui curry chicken sandwich is it, omg this is so good. Also got the mochi matcha pancakes with side of mochino chicken and best pancakes Ive had no need for syrup they were sweet as is. Im hooked and need my morning wood fix.Previous review below:Saw this pop up as a new place in yelp. My friend and I decided to give it a try. Hidden gem in San Bruno. They are new so maybe they will put a large sign outside so its easier to spot. I had loco loco with beef patties and eggs over easy. The patties were nicely seasoned, not bland like some other places. My friend got the fried chicken biscuit with crack potatoes. Let me tell you they named those appropriately cause they are addictive. Chicken was so tender and delicious, it didnt need the gravy that we asked to be on the side. Biscuit was so buttery, omg so good. Btw that biscuit dish was good for big appetite. We were both so full we skipped lunch. Definitely will be back to try other stuff.Updated review. Visited a second time. Place is very busy. Barry is no nonsense when calling names to be seated, you better pay attention. Ordered the wake me up before you go go burger. Omg this is huge. Cant decided if I like the fried chicken biscuit more or this burger. It was excellent. A friend got the kaula pork hash, that was also good. Check the pics of the burger as they serve it and after I put it together. No way could eat it that way, ended up using fork and knife. My favorite breakfast place.

Amazing food at a great price, just make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the restaurant opening to get in with the first wave of people. Pretty small restaurant but good come out pretty quickly. Would highly recommend for brunch!
