A neighborhood spot that keeps its lights on

SH Hawaiian BBQ & Donut is a no-frills El Camino Real fixture in Palo Alto — generous plates, freshly made donuts, and the kitchen stays open until 2 AM.

A really good find in the city that is open till late night and the food here is also pretty amazing. It has also a bunch of good deserts along with the delicious food that they have. You probably wouldn’t come here for the ambience, but you’ll definitely come back here for the food and it’s totally

Had the bbq short ribs and quality is the same as usual from other places. I was able to sit inside since no one was there. Very limited parking lot so it might be best to call ahead and pickup. They have plenty of beverage choices and this is the only place I've seen with donuts...very cool. I gues

This magic place takes you to the flavor of the Hawaiian food, it has several dishes, among them my favorite is the barbecue chicken, and the favorite boba. You have to come to this place you will love it. they open until 2 am which is very convenient when you have a late night craving .

Big servings, nice service, and clean restaurant. I get the keto plate and it's like three meals in one. The food is delicious and they make it quickly even when the crowd is there. I have not tried their donuts because donuts like my stomach fat cells more than me

Ok these are the nicest ladies ever I come in at 2 am hungry with no money she right away gave me 2 doughnuts and my friend 2. You should go support this local business who cares about their locals that’s what we call community.
