SH HAWAIIAN BBQ&DONUT | Our Story

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.
The spot on El Camino

The spot on El Camino

On one of the Peninsula's busiest corridors, we built a spot around a simple promise: real food, fast, in portions that fill you up. No chain polish — just a welcoming place open at noon or midnight.
The plates that built the reputation

Our BBQ chicken comes tender, glazed in a sweet-and-savory sauce, with creamy mac salad and sautéed veggies alongside. Regulars call the keto plate a life hack — one plate, three meals worth.
Donuts and Vietnamese coffee

Donuts and Vietnamese coffee

SH is the only Hawaiian BBQ spot around that pairs your meal with freshly made donuts and a proper Vietnamese coffee. Guests consistently call it out — and it's the only combination of its kind in Palo Alto.
The kitchen that never closes early

The kitchen that never closes early

When most of Palo Alto shuts down, we stay on for the shift workers, night owls, and anyone who needs a real meal past midnight. Hot food, every single night until 2 AM.
