A restaurant that definitely believes in ohana is Kauai Family. The family-owned shop has been serving Seattle since 1993, straight from Hawaii. The spot has an all-day breakfast and a mean Kalua Pork.

What started as a simple food truck venture in 2009 quickly turned into a Hawaiian-Korean fusion destination on every Seattlites bucket list. The spot certainly is a Marination Station, with perfectly spicy, tangy, and sweet marinades on all their dishes.

Ohana means family, and that’s exactly what you’re going to fee like when you walk into this spot. With live Hawaiian and Reggae-inspired tunes and karaoke nights, Ohana knows how to keep the night fun. We suggest their spam sliders — they’re the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

If you’ve got a craving and want to fix it quickly, come to Aloha Plates. Don’t be mistaken by the fact that they’re in an Uwajimaya food court, because the spot serves up amazing Hawaiian-style plate lunches at affordable prices. Their Spam musubi comes in two, unlike most spots in Seattle.
